    I’m one of “those people” who (even though it has its place) very much dislike painted furniture. So I am very pleasantly surprised at just how much I am liking this project. Your color choice was spot on and gratefully different from what I normally see everywhere and the addition of the doors was an excellent decision. Outstanding job!

      I love the final color and the angled legs. (Gotta say I cringed when you originally chose that purple-red berry "Winchester" color.) This turned out so cute.

    We bought a slightly larger version of this bookcase in the late 1960s. Of course the sliding glass doors didn't last long with three small children plus a bumptious dog. 😉 I forget exactly what happened to it in the end but it was sturdy and useful while we kept it. I think it was handed down to one of the kids, like so many other old items. 👍😊

    @jtpaar1732 11 месяцев назад

    Although I've done my share of furniture refinishing, I wouldn't have given this piece a second thought given the way it looked when you got it because it just didn't seem to have any appeal at all. However, Katie, you seem to have a real 'knack' for finding and restoring beauty in these furniture pieces, some even to the point of making them look better than their original selves! And this one IS a real beauty and I love that you were brave enough to paint it red - a niche piece but one that will be much appreciated for those seeking something outside the box. You did a fantastic job on this!

I am not a red person but it is in a gray slightly tinted and olive tint that you don’t notice but it really makes the red dresser look stunning. I have some art on the walls that have red barns and a black iron bed and it just must work! So that little red piece could really be someone’s conversation piece for sure! And those knobs and the wood doors really a fantastic choice!

    I was going to paint an armoire navy blue. I didnt have time to paint three coats of the navy to cover up white primer, so I held my breath and poured folk art black acrylic paint into my Kilz primer. It turned out a dark grey. I pushed ahead painting only two coats of navy. It turned out great for anyone wanting a cheap way to dull down white primer.

    • @salvagedbykscott
