This is the best mattress I have ever owned, and I look forward to continuing to work with Birch Living
Unlike other painted furniture we have seen on this channel and others, whoever painted this one did a really good job.
I agree. I was surprised by the quality of the paint and vinyl Barbie makeover and pleased by the restoration. Well done.
Yeah, it’s not for everyone but I’d definitely put the “before” in my kid’s room
Sarcasm? Hope so!
Yeah, the before actually didn't look too bad, but seeing it back in it's original state was still nice to see though.
That paint job makes me want to eat a whole box of Good & Plenty candies.
It looks SO much better when you finished!!
I think the grey wash stain brought out the age of the piece without making it look tired or making it look too modern. In other words, I think it was a perfect choice here. (super thumbs=up)
The dresser turned out beautiful. I saw the Barbie reflected in the mirror. I love the stories you tell.
You did a wonderful job giving that dresser back its respectability.
I love the cricket noises! It reminds me of being a child and my friend Sharon and I caught 2 black crickets and wheeled them around the neighborhood in a doll carriage. I was a tomboy, and never played with dolls. I liked crickets, frogs, toads, caterpillars better.
I love this
@@MadCityModern It came out great, the poor piece of furniture must be in shock. From Hot pink to a proper Federal looking piece.
It looks fantastic. U did so well. It m always impressed with ur patience.
Good to see you again Barry 😊
I can relate to your three categories too.
Sneaky trick with the Barbie 😅
I too have a cricket in my shop that keeps me company when I'm working in the evenings 🦗🦗🦗🦗
Love watching all of your content. Keep it coming brother!
One of my favorite comments
Wow!! That turned out amazing!! Way better than I could've done....You rocked it!
Thank you!
You did such and amazing job on this piece! It’s beautiful
I think this piece turned out beautifully !! I just found your channel and have watched like 8 videos , love what you are doing & love your calming - relaxing music in the back ground ! God bless you and your family . Love & blessings , Alaska born and raised, Julie
If I saw this in an antique shop, it would be coming home with me. For the challenges you were faced with, this looks beautiful!
Came accross your channel while looking for furniture DIY inspo and was pleased to find it. Not sure what is more interesting, you or the pieces you are restoring!
You are so humble and that is a rare and amazing quality to have. I love what I’ve seen so far.
What a great piece. Your incredible Sir Barry
Thank you kindly
That is awesome looking! You totally saved that dresser. You have excellent vision I wouldn’t have looked twice at that.❤
I'd want this in my bedroom so much
What a beautiful restoration!!!
Wonderful! It reminds me of a restoration hardware piece of furniture. Understated and tasteful. Thank you for all you do
I’m glad you posted this… to be honest I was a little worried. This was a great video. I loved how it turned out.
Thanks for checking in
Great video Barry! You have such a chill and calming voice massive fan of your channel 😊
The finished result is wonderful!
It turned out beautiful.
I liked that stain combo as if it minimized the stain then you get the win of still looking like it should. I tend to be very anti paint but then again I love the antique Swedish painted wooden furniture. The only thing I can figure it is the lines of the pieces combined with the colors they used and the fact they didn’t apply their paint super thick
Great feedback!
Absolutely gorgeous. Wow!!!!
Great job looks so much better
You are amazing. Lovely work. Such patience. You are an inspiration. (And so nice to listen to! The cricket accompaniment was so sweet.)
Maybe it didn't come out as well as you would have liked but it still looks a heck of a lot better. Oh, and I got so interested in your process that I forgot to look for Barbie.
I am by no account an expert, but I think this is a very impressive finish. Someone may have enjoyed the pink and black, and I have no doubt this piece in its' newly finished/trimmed iteration will be appreciated by another. Well done 👏
What you have done is nothing short of amazing! Beautiful! By the way, never apologize for the cricket. Name it! I have tinnitus and cricket sounds actually soothe me :)
Thank you so much!
Looks a ton better.
It looks great 😊
Lovely. Beautiful work.
Спасибо ❤
Nice job
22:09
Hopefully a Beautiful 😻 Barbie makeover!
Well said 😁
Huh. Turns out you CAN make a silk purse out of a sow's ear! ❤ That's lovely, Barry, really and truly!
O móvel ficou lindo!, a cor rosa não combinou com este móvel .Agora pode ser admirado ,
Well hopefully they won’t paint it. You did a very nice job of refinishing. I think your video editing was great.
Good bye Barbie! Hello beautiful. It’s nice to be challenged to learn new skills. Great work!!!
OOAK means One Of A Kind
Gosh, hopefully the next owner doesn’t paint over this beauty or apply sticky paper on it. Your hard work efforts made this look 100M times better.👍⭐️
Thank you!
40 dollar for that dresser is to much. But you made it worth more.
OOAK means one of a kind. In this case, it definitely didn't mean good, lol
Looks like I’m in the minority here, as I thought that it was a relatively well-done Barbie-themed makeover. I’ve seen a lot worse! 😂 I am sure that whatever little girl had that dresser enjoyed it a great deal. Someone else might have enjoyed it in that condition for a while yet, given the Barbie-mania this summer!
Still, as always you did a lovely job restoring it to its natural wood condition. Especially all those painted grooves! I would have given up in despair for sure.
No need to apologize for the cricket sounds. It’s actually lovely to think you have that nature there while you work. It underscores how peaceful the work can be.
Thanks for sharing, as always.
Yeah the before was definitely not badly done! Still a lovely transformation though
Sorry....but UGHHH!
Chances are, it was made for a grown woman. Or at least a teenager. It's a little too 'glam' for a little girl.
Ditto
If I was 12-13 y.o., I would love to own this vanity :D
Dear Barry! You are so loved my man! Your honesty, integrity and humility are a true testament to your genuine humanity. We are so blessed that you share yourself and your work with us! Thanks, George from Florida
This is special
and so are you @@MadCityModern
Cob🍟👿🩶🩶❤️🩹b
This is one of the kindest remarks I've ever read on youtube. Thanks for warming my heart, George from Florida.
Thanks and happy holidays to you and yours! @@robbindavis5926
Beautifully done! It looks like the dresser is breathing a sigh of relief. It has an understated elegance that would fit into any decor. Enjoyed the process 👍
Thank you so much!
I think that the reason these older wood dressers and chests are not in demand is because they are usually in shabby, fixer upper, worn out condition. Most people do not want to do the work to bring them back and, unfortunately, the hours put into fixing them does not yield enough profit. So it has to be a labor of love for whomever decides to make them beautiful again.
Barry, words can’t express how much I enjoyed this restoration.
Yes I found the Barbie👍 and I loved the cricket noise!
I found it hilarious that just over a year ago I actually watched a man “restore” a dresser using nearly the exact same colours including the Barbie motif! (I wonder if it was the same piece)?🤔😂
Anyway, I am especially fond of your calm narration and exquisite editing.
I live for the close ups and you never disappoint.
Thank you once again for sharing your passion with us all .
I dont know why you say that Barbie dresser has no resale value as I would certainly buy it xxx beautiful job, Barrie ❤
Thank you!
Barbie should be proud to have this in her dream house!
Haha
A mug of coffee, a bar of my favourite chocolate and an episode of Mad City Modern. What more could you ask for?
Another awesome video Barry. Thank you. 🙏🙏🙏
This made me smile
Sounds like you know how to live well @Cutler65!
I like the cricket ambience. Great work on the dresser!
This is a day and night transformation. The Barbie theme was cute, but you’ve restored this piece to its original glory.
The before is so so beautiful! They did a great job painting it. Sad to see it go but still beautiful! Great job! I just really dislike how people are calling it ugly. It’s not, lots of people would like the before as well.
Yes thank you
For me there can be a place for painting furniture. I know some that the materials its made from mean a restoration is not feasible but if a bit of paint means it lives on away from the dump (landfill) then that is a better option.
For those like this that can be restored with a bit of imagination and skill then heck no leave the paint in the tin.
Looked amazing once you had finished it.
I would also say that for awhile that Barbie style made a little girl very happy I am sure so while not something I would do maybe the person that did that did not have the skill needed and this was something within their scope.
Never judge someone's work without knowing the reason behind it.
Enjoyed reading this
I actually appreciate both the Barbie dresser and the restoration, the restoration is gorgeous look back to the original. However the Barbie dresser was clearly crafted with meticulousness and attention to detail, and was probably a piece that was actually commissioned rather than trying to just some amateur repaint a piece of furniture to fit a room.
You did a fabulous job. I love the older pieces and you did this one justice. I would be proud to own it.
Barry, as usual, a phenomenal job restoring this dresser! You changed a ruin into a masterpiece! I've no idea where, or to whom, you plan to donate it, but that piece would work fabulously in a foyer to store sweaters, coats, gloves, etc. and the mirror to "check yourself out" before leaving, in a dining room as a buffet, or, as it was originally meant, in a bedroom. Astounding transformation! You've given it back its pride!
You might know all the imperfections that are still on the piece, but I think it turned out beautiful. I would definitely display this piece in my house. I would use it for linens.
Thank you so much
The barbie paint was actually hella cool
abswolutely
Your appreciation for all things beautiful makes your channel special. Thank you for having one of the best channels on the internet.
So nice of you
you know, for a barbie repaint. it's actually not that badly done. i could see someone's daughter loving to get that as a gift
Oh Barry, that first pass of taking pink paint gave me chills! Great job! Again, your attention to detail puts you way above. This educational piece, as you called it, can sell!
Thank you so much 😀
I’m still 😮 that it was taped, not painted! Well done you😎
I simply love watching you work, Barry! You give me such a sense of calm and appreciation for your craft ❤
Oh my goodness, Barry. She’s a beauty! Your vision for a piece and skill set has really expanded. You’re so humble…one of the reasons I subscribed- so like-able and honest. Your patience with the work some these pieces take in amazing. I’m a forever fan.
Ooak is an acronym for One Of A Kind
Barry, this dresser turned out beautifully. I tend to like a satin finish on most all wood furniture, just a personal choice. I tend to think with a hint of shine to the finish, it brings out more of the beauty of the wood grain. Well done!
Great feedback
I think the Barbie makeover was appropriate for the time period in which it was made over, where wood was considered extremely boring. Just as I think now it's appropriate to get it off and let the mahogany glow through!
Great job! BTW OOAK stands for One Of A Kind - a term used often in the world of doll collecting.
Thanks for the info!
It looks very nice in the end 😃
though I actually think the Barbie paint job looked pretty well done and definitely would’ve wanted it when I was 13
It turned on beautiful / handsome even. Whoever ends up with it is a very lucky person. 👍🏻
Thank you
I think I saw Barbie reflected in the mirror from the wall with the posters. You did the best you could and it looks great. I think it’s a great neutral brown suitable for most homes. I wouldn’t have ever looked at the Barbie dresser and said,now I want that for my kid. 😮 But now i see something I would definitely want for my home! 😊
BRAVO!! BEAUTIFUL!! Well done my good man!
It always amazes me how much personality you can see in some pieces just by removing the paint. I mean the paint job was actually pretty good, but the natural wood just makes this piece so much more special to me. I've been watching these restorations and woodworking videos for a while now, and it's always incredible to see the beautiful wood color coming out from underneath all that paint. I like painted pieces as well, it just depends on the piece and the condition. You sir did an amazing job here, I love the final product and I'm loving your channel. Keep up the great work, and best wishes from Brazil!
Como decimos aquí...eres un auténtico manitas...😅😅
❤❤acabado perfecto
Saludos desde ANDALUCÍA ESPAÑA ❤❤
I think in the end the piece looked terrific. You do amazing work.
Barry you’re back! I was so excited to see a new posting. I have watched and rewatched every post I can find of yours.
I’ve always loved vintage and antique pieces. Every day an old piece of furniture or a lamp or tool gets restored is a great day. Thank you for making so many great days. 😊
I've since released some older videos
Hey Barry, so glad you are BACK!! You have been missed and this was another great episode. The end result is very beautiful, elegant and understated. I love the cricket sounds in the background. Hi from Toronto!
Sometimes I can’t believe how much work you’re willing to put into a project. You also put a lot of work into your filming, I can tell. Thank you for all that! I saw Barbie in the mirror reflection when you were stripping it.
This means so much
Incredible diligent work as always.
Barry, you are the best! My parents had this same style of Hepplewhite furniture in their bedroom, and it’s awesome to see someone who appreciates the beautiful mahogany grain and all-wood construction details, such as the dovetailed drawers. Thanks for bringing this piece back to its former glory!
Would be proud to have this in my house 🇬🇧😁❤️
Thank you
If you think that finish is just alright, I can't imagine what your excellent pieces look like! 😂 I love the grey/brown stain combo!
You always know how to bring forth hidden beauty, thank you, most lovely video :)
Thank you so much!
Made my day today, a fresh mad city modern post!!!
I notice you have a lot of vintage/retro items in your workshop: typewriter, cassette player/tuner, analog tv/VCR combo, double cassette boom box player; these items for me brings back so many memories!
Hi Barry. I think that piece turned out beautiful. It was a lot of work removing all that paint. Gotta have the patients of a Saint to do all that. And you Sir exude patience. Your videos are so calming and relaxing to watch. Love your channel💕
It's so pleasing to watch you work on these pieces. Your voice is calming to listen to as I learn from you. I always learn something. I was surprised to find the Barbie in this video. I'm usually so focused on what you are doing I miss those things.😅 Thanks again.
I have been watching your videos and am a long-time subscriber. I really enjoy your work, but I have a criticism I must make regarding your use of PPE. Kleanstrip Premium Stripper is a volatile chemical mixture that can cause brain damage, cancer, and respiratory problems. This is especially important when working indoors in an enclosed shop. You must wear a respirator mask and eye protection when using it indoors. I say "must" because many people follow your videos and learn from them. It is not merely your health you are jeopardizing, but that of anyone who watches your videos and assumes that you are handling this chemical solution safely when you are not. Using this product the way you do may not have damaged you yet, but continued use like this almost certainly will. I am a chemist, and I know what you are using is made up of chemicals that are always stored in a fume hood or storage, meant to be vented to the outside air by law. I really enjoy your videos. Please be careful so that I may continue to enjoy them for years to come.
I bought a house built in the 60’s. I thought I could save some money stripping the kitchen cabinets. I stripped through several different coats of mauve, light blue, green and yellow. Plus the wood underneath all that paint was not worth it! I figured it would be cheaper to completely gut the kitchen and put in new cabinets! At least I could enjoy the kitchen before I passed!
Barry, don’t apologize so much. I did it my entire life and it undermined me. Not just at work but in life. It’s a desire for unobtainable perfection. Sorry to lecture but you do too good of work. Plus you share your knowledge. I especially love the history pieces. If they restored shop pieces like this could be done by students and either kept or donated. 22:57
This was another one of your remarkable restorations. Another RUclipsr slaps a coat of paint on every piece of furniture that crosses her path then brags how much money she made. In the episode I watched, she bragged that you and she were friends. Thank you for restoring furniture.
I actually thought the Barbie diy wasn't horrible. Not my style, but compared to your usual rescues, it was almost pristine. But the paint was so messy when it came off! It was like mucus - gross! What did they paint it with??
Stunning. Came out just lovely.
These videos are so relaxing. Well done!
i never would have expected a furniture cleanup video to have such relaxing music, that with your little cricket buddy made it so much better
😊 thank you
I love how y’all restore a beat up piece of furniture to its former glory and at the end are like: “it’s far from being perfect” meanwhile the piece looks like it came directly from the set of The Crown series 😅😅😅
Another restoration that you showed your skill and talent. to answer your question about the diff projects you have, as a welder I work on project's that people order from me too but in my free time I make thing for my family or experiment and try things that Ive seen others do. so it seems that the type of projects may be a universal thing
