It would have been grand in its day, and you made it majestic again. Beautiful blue that suits anything French style. So carefully restored and glamorous. They were lucky to find you! Subbed.
I wanted to hate this too, but that color!! OMG! I am of the mindset, just because it can be painted, doesn't mean it has to be painted! But that color...!😅😊
I thought i was going to dislike this, but I discovered that the uniformity of the paint really brings out the curved detail of the piece. Before you painted, the piece looked like there were too many elements fighting one another, like the variations of wood tone fighting the curved drawers and the handles were almost lost. Nice job and thanks for broadening my horizons 🎉
Factory made, run-of-the mill, not so trendy anymore piece. NOT a mistake to paint. Only time I get upset is seeing a vintage mahogany (with minor damge) painted. I can see painting very damaged old pieces. This was great.
It's beautiful. Thank you for sharing how you do it and what you use without a lot of extra video and or talk. Right to the point with all the info needed! Superb!
Like others have said, the busy wood grain distracted from the fluidity of the design. It can really be appreciated after this gorgeous paint job. Wonderful job.
Your clips are always interesting to watch. You are extremely knowledgeable and when you explain why you do things, it is so logical, and makes sense. The dresser result is lovely!
I gotta say…I thought you would get hammered in the comments for painting those..but I’m so glad you didn’t! I think the pieces turned out spectacular! Another happy client!
That’s the bedroom set that I have right now with the same dull stain finish that was passed down to me by my parents. I never liked it but never wanted to sell it either. Well now I know thanks to you what colour I am going to paint it. I still have to practice a bit more. But that bedroom set is not leaving my sight. Merci beaucoup Samuel! By the way it’s stunning!
I adore French provincial furniture and you’ve just elevated this piece to a whole nother level. I loved the green set you did BUT honestly this blue colour has just blown the green out of the water. I still love the green, but this blue…wow, just wow. What a beautiful unique shade of blue. I NEED these pieces in my life 😂 Great job again 😁
Wow, this looks absolutely amazing!! I love French Provincial furniture, it’s the curves that catch my eye every time I see a piece. It’s funny but you’d think that I’d own a French Provincial dresser but I don’t!!😂 What a great colour combo to get that shade of blue, love it!! Well done!!👏🏻👏🏻😍
Nice work. I do not usually subscribe to channels but I have to yours, long time ago. I love how you work and explain, and change ugly furniture to beautiful. I love your channel and wait for new videos. Thank you for sharing :)
Thank you for the pigtail tip. The more you know...I have a dresser top that I used 80 grit on orbital sander and I thought I was being very meticulous to do it correctly. Then I stained it and found the pigtails. I'm still trying to steam iron them.
Hi there looks good and in a hallway - what shade of Blue is that you Used as I Am repaint a Our Lady Plaster Statue and Looking for a Shade Of Blue for the Clock
The closest dresser I have found to my own that I about to paint, I have stripped the top and like the white wash you used. The blue is beautiful but not my bedroom colour. I have found a bit of courage from watching this video to start the painting, seeing how lovely it can look. I wondered if you would clean the handles, mine are almost the same ones but the hardware was perfect with the blue. I also have the matching wardrobe to paint so it will have to be an easy makeover for me. What were the chances of finding almost identical dresser, thank you.
@@CedarPineDesigns Honestly, I have just finished painting dresser and wardrobe, I am so pleased now sitting with a coffee. I painted the top a light grey/beige the rest is charcoal. So you truly did encourage me. Thank you.
Yoooo Sam here we goooo!! $84/hr. = $174,720K/ year annually full-time!! Now add the $300K in gold you found & Boom Shacka Lacka we rich b!tch!! Came out great & very enjoyable video as always Bud. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
I just love watching and rewatching your videos. Did you clean or spray the handles? They look different from beginning to end. I like that you gave the reason for doing the top first, but I see others paint and seal first, so I'm not sure which way to go because I do want to paint the bottom and stain the top.
Thank you so much for tuning in. I just have the handles a hood cleaning as I liked the patina they had. I always like fining the top first if I’m doing a paint and natural top. It’s a pain when you get stain or white wash on the finished paint and it doesn’t come off all the way.
@@CedarPineDesigns thanks. I noted that you did explain why you do the top first, but I thought I heard that sometimes you do the opposite. So what did you clean the handles with? I've had people tell me to use Bar Keeper's Friend, to boil with vinegar and water, to boil with just vinegar.
Nice job! I love the mixed color of paint you came up with. Can you tell me where you bought the paint you used? I'm a big fan of the INSL-X primer/sealer (ordered it from Amazon). I can't seem to find their tintable cabinet paint. Thanks! :)
I am working on a nightstand that has drawer pulls that are not put on with screws. They are put on with some sort of peg with a hole in the center. Would you have any experience with removing those handles?
I see this current preference for more "colorful" furniture around these times, but I assume I'm too scared to make these changes to pieces of this quality level. Here, furniture of this quality tends to be very expensive and almost inaccessible, being sold only in used furniture stores (not even the big lumber companies manufacture furniture of this style and quality), hence the fear I have in wanting colorful pieces of furniture.
@@CedarPineDesigns Brasília - Brazil! I said this after watching a program about interior renovations, but I saw something that made me angry: in this renovation they took a beautiful cupboard made of jacaranda (hardwood and that can no longer be exploited since 1992 by order of law) in style neocolonial from the 1940s was painted a vibrant yellow, making a beautiful piece of furniture look like an ugly yellow plastic figurine! That's why I'm afraid to use colors in wooden furniture.
@@carlosandino821 that would make me a little upset as well. There is definitely pieces of furniture you just don’t paint and stuff that is very old and of rare wood is one of them
I have a couple of French provincial dressers that I'm painting flat black with a satin finish. I want to sell these but my area isn't that good to sell in, is there a place/app that likes these types of dressers that I could try to sell on?
If you want to reach a wider audience from your area, I would try Etsy or make an instagram account. Also, Facebook marketplace is a very good way to sell as well
Beautiful shade of blue and really brings out the beauty of the pieces. So sad the over spay inside the pieces that you leave, the whole job would be more professional if you took the time to cover the insides during spraying.
I really loved the color however the white washed tops seemed to take away from the beauty of the piece, in my opinion. A light ash stain or just painting the top the blue would have looked more luxurious, again just my opinion.
It would have been grand in its day, and you made it majestic again. Beautiful blue that suits anything French style. So carefully restored and glamorous. They were lucky to find you! Subbed.
Thanks so much for the kind words! I love how it turned out too.
That is an absolute beautiful shade of blue. The white washed top is stunning.
Thank you so much. I’m glad you like it
I know I keep repeating myself but it's absolutely beautiful Samuel, the whiter tone of the wood really works with that dark blue.
Thank you very much! That’s no problem. I appreciate any feedback
Love the blue, great work!
Thank you
I love the stained wood finish, but the blue is beautiful, too.
Thank you so much 😊
That blue is very nice. This set turned out great.
Thank you! Cheers!
I wanted to hate this too, but that color!! OMG! I am of the mindset, just because it can be painted, doesn't mean it has to be painted! But that color...!😅😊
Thank you so much. I’m glad you like it
The dresser is just gorgeous. The color is perfection. You do fantastic work!❤
Thank you so much. I’m glad you like it
Echoing the same sentiment as others: beautiful color and beautiful results!
Yes! Thank you! I really appreciate it
Really beautiful color!
Thank you so much

That’s so nice of you to say. Thank you very much
Looks great! I’ve actually been redoing a lot of these dressers lately. Thankfully, they are selling.
That’s so awesome. Thank you for the compliment
Hey, I actually have a couple of these dressers that I'm redoing. How did you sell yours french provincial dressers?
Perfect finish. That colour, man! Really nice.
Thanks a bunch! I really appreciate it
I gotta say…I thought you would get hammered in the comments for painting those..but I’m so glad you didn’t! I think the pieces turned out spectacular! Another happy client!
Thank you so much. I thought the same thing but surprisingly there weren’t many negative paint responses.
Hi Samuel, your garage is so organized. I am impressed!
Thank you so much. It took a while to get to this point. I find work is so much easier and faster being this organized
Ohhhh this is beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration. I am going to do brown & a short white for my French provincial set.
Sounds great! Thank you so much
that looked incredible when you'd finished! i love that blue you use. you are awesome! ❤
Thank you so much. I’m glad you like it
The color blue you mixed is beautiful.
I’m glad you like it. Thank you
Beautiful color! Thanks for sharing all these tips!

Absolutely fabulous!❤❤
Thank you 😊
I like that blue as well, I think I had a similar sweatshirt/ hoodie like that in the 90’s . Good times
That’s so awesome. I’ll be using it again in the future
Hoooray
I did a dark maroon with a white top and trim for my set. I love it!
Sounds great! Thank you
Always impressed by craftsmanship. Enjoy your channel
Thank you very much Rosa. Happy to see you back in the comments
@@CedarPineDesigns always
Not my favorite type of furniture, but you made it look good! Love the blue, very nice shade!🙌
Wow, thank you! I’m glad you like it
Beautiful color
Thank you 😊
I swear it could be my Mema’s dresser! She wore scarfs and kept jewelry in her drawer like that. 💕
It very well could be if you have ties in Cali
I love it. Thanks for all the info you provide. I'm enjoying learning. ❤
You are so welcome!
The color is gorgeous! I learned a lot from your video because I’m a newbie. So Thank you very much for the video and your expertise!
Glad it was helpful! Thank ton so much. Any questions feel free to reach out. I’m in instagram as well
I wanted to hate this because I don'r like painted furniture but honestly, the paint is much more attractive than the original finish. Good job!
Thank you so much. I’m glad I was able to create something that changed your mind
Love the color gorgeous
Thank you so much
Beautiful!!
Thank you! 😊
That’s a really nice color I can see this color on some future projects good job 👍🏻
Thank you brother. Definitely gonna use it again
Looks awesome! I just finished a video of a cool mid century coffee table. I love working with teak and walnut! Keep up the good work!

Not keen on French Provincial but this gorgeous. Love that shade of blue!
Thank you so much bob
Great work 👏😍
Love the Blue ❤!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you
I would have whitewashed this beautiful piece. Your choice IS a very good choice ,too.❤️
Thank you! 😊 that’s a great idea
Awesome !!!
Thank you
Una belleza!!!
Thank you 😊
Thank you for the pigtail tip. The more you know...I have a dresser top that I used 80 grit on orbital sander and I thought I was being very meticulous to do it correctly. Then I stained it and found the pigtails. I'm still trying to steam iron them.
No problem at all. Just sand through the grits and you’ll get great results. I’m glad I was able to help in some way
Love the color. It is close to the color I am thinking of doing my French provincial set. But it is mixing two Fusion mineral paint colors.
That’s some awesome. Definitely a nice color
I would have loved to have that just like it was
Some people would
Love the color! I wonder what that color would look like with a grey wash top.
Thank you. I think the blue color would make the grey was look blue as well
Such a beautiful job! How did you clean the hardware?
Thank you so much. Bar keepers friend
I really appreciate the burn & turn of your projects. So are you doing mostly custom work?
Thank you. I’m mostly focused on rate of return. A lot of my work is commission work so it’s a lot faster of a turn around not having to find a buyer
@@CedarPineDesigns Makes sense... thanks

What up mike!!! Just off the hood alone I can take the next 2 years off. Loving the energy.
Beautiful French Provential piece. ❤
Why didn't you change the handles? Wanted to keep with the French provential look?
Thank you so much. Absolutely kept the handles to keep with the period, but also, it’s hard to find drawer pulls that have that unique curve to them

Welcome aboard! Thank you so much
Thats a beautiful color what color is it❤.
Thank you. It isn’t a specific color, it’s a blue and black that I have mixed together to make this color
Do you have any tips if I am planning on sanding an entire French provincial dresser?
Are you going to bare wood in the entire piece or going to paint it?
@@CedarPineDesigns I am going to bare wood all around to paint wash it
@@ANG3Lxox just try to sand lightly and careful on the top and sides as it’s veneer. Other than that, it’s just going to be a lot of sanding.
It is beautiful but I prefer grain look. I know the owner wanted it paint.
Thank you

🤗👍🏻😍💣
Why. not just use whatever you're wearing when you sand and paint if you're worried about breathing in degreaser?
Good question
What a waste
So was that comment
