    I’m 75 and have painted lots of furniture when younger. When I saw that lavender shimmer with glass I was sure glad it wasn’t me redoing this piece of furniture. You did an awesome job. It is beautiful and classy. Soon as my new studio is completed I’m getting back to painting furniture after a long illness. I’m excited after watching you bring the dresser back to life. But I definitely won’t be tackling a piece like your ugly duckling. Thanks for your inspiration.!💕😃👍

    When my cousin was engaged, she bought old furniture to refinish. I helped her strip layers of old paint from a dresser that had a curved front similar to yours. When we got it stripped down, we found it was mahogany wood & had been stored in a warehouse in Savannah, GA in 1904.

    Amy you are such a pro! Your ugly duckling was definitely the ugliest of all the ducklings to begin with and i was so worried that glass wouldnt come off. You are so talented and highly skilled.

    Never in my life- the glass. Omg, the glass. Girl, I don’t know how you didn’t Hulk out on this piece! Let me start off by saying, this piece is absolutely stunning now! But, your perseverance should win you this on it’s own. I kinda felt watching you do this, that it really got to the essence, imo, of what it often takes to really pull of these transformations. In my experience, there’s more times then not when a piece throws you a curve a ball (although this takes the cake😂) and trying different things without giving up is everything. How you brainstormed on getting that glass off was awesome. Great work!!
