Apologies for bad audio but that’s RUclips messing with the music and copyrights so can’t do anything about it 🙄
In this video I restore a roadside dresser, strip the paint and give it a contemporary/industrial makeover. A true trash to treasure.

@@michellejack1263 hi. It’s in my Amazon store list in the description
We need someone, or several someones, like you in every town. Could you imagine how many pieces of furniture could be salvaged before they hit the landfill, and be given a glorious new life? Amazing! Thank you for your incredible work!
That's very kind. Thank you !
Believe it or not but I have an identical (as far as I can tell) set of drawers here in England, up at my allotment! I will definitely move them down to my house ASAP, in order to refurbish them in an unusual style!
Beautiful work but your idea is not viable/practical!
top part is just mesmerizing! it's like a damascus.
I mean, sure, but what about all those chemicals used to strip the paint, and the non-recyclable cling film used to wrap it while it dissolved the paint?!
Honestly? The industrial looking wheels were the perfect touch. It gives the piece so much character, and makes it stand out against other dressers.
That's very kind. thank you
You don't restore furniture so much as you romance it into becoming its best self.
When you sprayed the dresser black I was disappointed because I thought the wood grain was so pretty, but I have to say, the end result is fantastic.
A chemical peel, Botox and fillers, new cut & color, a new outfit with eye-catching accessories and a new set of gilded shoes makes for one gorgeous lady!!
So much work and attention to detail went into this, how could anyone not fall in love with “her”?
Absolutely stunning transformation! 👏🏻👏🏻😍
lol thank you
I've never seen plywood look so beautiful. Forget about paint. Your processes yield much more beauty to a rehabilitated piece of furniture.
Thank you 🙏
I believe that your method of always going the extra mile and not taking the easy/quicker way through each step is why your pieces result in a much superior product.😊
Thank you 🙏
The grain of the wood on the top was incredibly pretty. Kudos to keeping it natural.
The swirling effect on the top of the chest of drawers reminded me of damascus that you'd see on a samurai sword.
That burning technique is amazing! Really enhanced the grain of the wood. End result is stunning!
Thank you Virginia☺️ much appreciated
Your patience and care with each piece is so inspiring!
🥰
The grain on the top of the drawers is like a natural work of art ✌️
Amazing! You have an incredible talent for this! I can see how passionate you are by your patience and great care. This old lady is now restored and beautiful thanks to you!
A lot of work, with a wonderful result! You are the first person to treat her kindly in a long while. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure 😇
Your attention to detail is incredible! You brought her back from the brink. Beautiful! 🤩
🥰🤗
I LOVE this beautiful lady and I'm so glad it was you who felt her need to be saved; and decided to rescue her! 😊
She's simply lovely! Many thanks & just know that there is a real admiration for you, & your artistry.
You never disappoint - I always start your videos thinking “ how can he save that?” , and by the end, I’m blown away at how good they look! Great job!
Awesome 🤩 thanks
I like the choice of the charring for this one. The plywood on top had a crazy grain pattern that reminded me vaguely of Damascus steel and I think the dark finish did allow that to show while covering some of the wear.
That is exactly right ! Thank you
It is crazy what removing an old finish and sanding for one whole eternity can do to just bring a piece back to life. Love that top! Nice work my friend!
It is indeed ☺️ thank you. Loved your video too👌
What an incredible makeover! Absolutely stunning. Thanks for giving an old lady a new life! I really love the grain on the top of that dresser. So funky and pretty!
I am that old lady. And hope to transform myself as well as the furniture I do but since you do it better,I will work on furniture using your ideas.... And with the same hard work on myself ,with all that encouragement to see good results
You saved her!!!!! You made her young again!!! Bravo!!!
Love the end result. That was a lot of paint! I appreciate seeing pieces being rescued from being thrown away!!
Rescued from paint! 😂
Your restorations always look remarkable, but this transformation was incredible!!!
You are not only a great refurbished and carpenter, but you have a gentile soul and the way you weave a story about the item is enchanting. I appreciate you. You are a love,y human! 🥰✨🙏🕊♥️
Mix old Japanese work with modern slick idea. Marvelous. Love it. I can watch your videos every day. You are genius.
Awesome! Thank you!
Love the castors and I particularly love the finish on the top; it really accentuates the unusual grain. She looks great after her face lift.
Thank you Deb ;-)
More awesome work. It was very heartwarming seeing you save that piece. Brought the “old lady” back to life.
The hardware really pops! I always appreciate someone who rejeuvenates a perfectly functional item for another chance at life!
Thank you ❤️
You did a beautiful job of restoring this, truly amazing!
Love love love this one. The way you respected the shabby old piece and gave it new life. It's simply stunning
Thank you Sarah 🙏
Love watching how carefully each piece you work on gets fully transformed into something I wish I had in my home! Simply the best! Love that you explain what you are doing and why and love that you pay attention to refinishing everything from the top, front, inside the drawers if that’s what you are working on, and the back. You touch it all and it shows in the finished product it’s wonderful!
It was truly interesting to watch the transformation of the old dresser. You have wonderful tools and most importantly, you know how to use them!! I was hoping to see how you fitted the drawers. They must have needed new guides or side sliders. They were certainly sticking when you removed them. But thanks for all you did show!!!
Thank you. All I did was sanded the sides of the drawers and applied some wax.
I have never seen plywood (top surface) with so much design in it. I was sad to see it go black, but still beautiful!
There wasn’t much choice as you saw yourself…
The grain on top looks gorgeous it looks like a topographical map! Definitely worth stopping for. Amazing job!
Thanks 😊
Wow !! ... who would have ever guessed ... that hidden underneath all those thoughtless layers of paint ... there was a beautiful patterned timber !! ... love love loved ! the top of this piece !!! .. thank you for your vlog !!! ... she's definitely reclaimed her youthful beauty !!!! .. 😍
Thank you so much 😀 glad you enjoyed it
Who knew that underneath all that paint was a beautiful bit of timber, especially the plywood on top of the dresser? I'm glad that you chose to keep it rather than replace it, it really shone brightly in the end, the pattern in the plywood was absolutely gorgeous,
I love to watch you work your magic! You have awesome "toys" (tools) to help you bring life into old worn out furniture, but it is your love of wood and the making of furniture that makes you the most awesome at what you do! Thank you for bring back the art of wood work! ❤
It’s my pleasure 😇
The air nozzle is my favourite 'toy'. So useful when you produce a lot of sawdust.
@@suitov it really is 😉
It’s amazing how you can see the grain of the wood what a beautiful restoration x
Thank you ;-)
Wow!!! What a transformation! You worked hard on the ole girl and now she’s beautiful 🤩
Thank you for sharing! You’re very talented!
Thank you ❤️
That grain on the top! And someone painted over it? I could cry...
It looks so striking after the combination of the wood-burning technique and the varnish. Really eye-popping surface, no ornamentation required.
Thanks 😊
That was very fulfilling! To see all wood surfaces of that old dresser restored renewed and nourished. Completely free! I’ve never seen a video like that highlighting the small details. The final industrial wheels were spot on!
Glad you enjoyed it 🤗
Как доктор, вылечил больное дерево от многослойной краски и сотворил Чудо - шкаф!!!
Тысячу раз, БРАВО!!!
Old lady’s rockin it now! Did not expect the blow torch to come out but wow! Very cool! Love the casters too!
Who would have guessed that plywood would have such character given the right finish. Gorgeous facelift for this grand dame.
Thank you 😊
Hi guys. I apologise for the minor issue with the bit of audio around the 1st minute. I have had a lot of trouble with RUclips and their copyrights claim. At this point I can't do much about it as the video is already public and the online editor is absolute rubbish.
Beautiful I would buy this!!!
Your attention to detail is quite incredible. This ended up looking so beautiful!
Thank you Euchrid ;-)
Awesome restoration as usual. Your work has inspired me to get back into furniture restoration. It’s very satisfying to see an “old girl” get a facelift
Man, I never knew plywood could have such a pretty grain! It's like a topographical map of a mountain chain!
Another beautiful transformation!
It turned out so beautifully! What wonderful results!
Thank you 😊
That pattern on the top is fabulous the old lady spruced up very well in your hands enjoyed watching her renewal
This old lady loves your old lady!!! She turned out perfect!!! 🥰💞👌🏾
Thank you 🙏
I love that you restore the wood where possible and avoid painting. I think a lot of furniture has had its charm taken away by painting it.
Once again, it's your attention to detail that sets you & a couple of other YT furniture restorers apart.
I've seen others totally skip a step that you went back & worked on 2-3 times. Or, until it was perfect or darn close to it!
Thanks again for the awesome content & the hilarious commentary that goes along with it.
Ie: "This is slightly discusting but, I think you guys like this. So, you're welcome"! When stripping the paint from the side of the dresser. Boy do you know your audience or what?
Stay safe, happy & healthy my friend! 👍
Ha ha ha thank you so much ☺️ glad you enjoyed it
I ALWAYS enjoy watching you work!
Very interesting to watch. I'm so glad you rescue "old ladies" and bring them back to life.
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm often amazed by the results of your hard work--I thought there'd be no saving this one, but you proved me wrong. Again!
Brilliant!!! Such a different piece now with character and style…just love it!!! I can see why you get so much satisfaction…you are the equivalent of the greatest cosmetic surgeon!!!! Now she can compete with the other old dames and go dancing!…lol! All the references to the good old Lady was heart warming…but…. I do try to avoid seeing myself as a WIDE DRESSER being saved from either the toxic waste dump or landfill. I think “worm holes” are especially defeating funereal landscape for my future!!! I have a vivid imagination and a cartoon brain but don’t let that stop you from your poetic rhapsodizing about aging and regenerating… very inspirational…not!
Ha ha ha that’s hilarious you really have great imagination
Love watching your videos makes me want to refinish a few pieces I have, thank you! You’re very talented ❤
Watched your videos for a long time and enjoy them very much. I love your dry sense of humor and the neighbors friendly cats. You are very talented. Would love to have you for a neighbor.
That’s very kind. Thank you 😊
Your videos are absolutely fantastic. I too, cannot see a old piece of "art", furniture, go south...you are a master of the trade. Thank you.
That’s very kind. Thanks 🎄
Truly amazing. You are definitely a craftsman at work. Thank you for your encouragement to us who are just starting out on the journey of flipping.
Thank you Brenda☺️ I was in your shoes not long ago. Still have a lot to learn
Like always a great job, love 😍 the final result !!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Linda🥰
I love the great plywoodstructure on the top surface! Fascinating colourplay on the drawers. Yes the old lady stands tall and proud in her new beauty!
Thank you 😊
This old lady has has a complete body redo! And now she is on her second and best life! God bless you!
🤗❤️
Love how it turned out. I really don’t like painted furniture, but was surprised that you were able to remove all that paint…I was sure this would be one episode that you’d have to use paint. Also love that you changed out the legs. The old legs really dated the piece.
Thank you ☺️
Wow, amazing how this worked out 👏🏻👏🏻
Your woodwork is really impressive!
Unfortunately, I just discovered your channel today and I'm happier about it. I think your attention to details is absolutely great. I've always done it that way in my craft. It is often precisely these "little things" that make the difference and are worth it! ✨
You've acquired great techniques by yourself by "learning by doing", that's really cool. And you're showing those little tips here and there, what often can be super helpful. 🙌🏻
I'm honestly interested what kind of basic equipment you've bought to start working on wonderful aging pieces. Can you say roughly what the tools have cost you? It would really help me. Thank you 🤗
I like your vids a lot. Picture and sound are great and your explanations of the individual steps really good too! 👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for sharing with us! 🤗
I'd also love to see @FlippingDrawers' suggested bare minimum toolset.
Your transformations always make me smile.
When I was 30 years younger I refinished a few antiques that my mom painted. Now that I'm older I would probably repaint in some primitive color pallette. Haha
Your work is beautiful and meticuate.
Thank you 😀
Incredible work! The final piece looks like it belongs in Architectural Digest. She had such humble beginnings and now she's a star!
Amazing transformation! I really enjoy watching you save these "old ladies" and I sure sometimes the odd "old gents" as well. I'm curious if this is your full time occupation or if it's a hobby? Either way you are very skilled and talented in my opinion. Thank you for taking us along on these wonderfully fulfilling journeys! CHEERS!!
Hi Trina, thank you and no, I work in hospital though only 2 days per week as of recently.
@@Flippingdrawers WOW, I'm amazed. To have achieved the level of skill that you have as well as the fabulous workshop and collection of tools, just since the pandemic insanity, is quite impressive. I have wanted to get into furniture restoration for some time and dabble a bit now and then but you are really really exceptional. I have learned so much just by binge watching your videos. Again, thank you for sharing these outstanding videos. I look forward to each new piece that you bring back to life!!
What an awesome skill to be taught to youth who must do community service because they're caught up in the system over petty crimes.
I loved how the drawers looked with the natural wood color before you painted them. It made this old lady pop!!!
I didn’t paint them
@@Flippingdrawers In the minute 14:00 you see the drawers unpainted for 1 second, then you started painting them all dark.
@@leanadomsan stain is not paint.
@@Flippingdrawers Okay, but the drawers looked much better without the stain.
Thank you, I really enjoyed that! I wonder, as you were going to use the burning technique, whether you considered a heat gun and scraper to remove the paint?
Thanks Alan, yes I did, actually used it for a moment. The stripper was mainly because thought it would be lead paint and also because I don’t use it often and people like to watch it 😂
When I look at the end result it makes me happy too. I feel incredibly satisfied watching you methodically remove old finishes, repairing and cleaning. I seem to waste an incredible amount of time watching Flipping Drawers yet feel as though I have accomplished something. Now it seems my son has subscribed too. 😊
Ha ha ha I’d say this is much better than watching the news😂 thank you
Lovely result, I wish I had the time and know how to do what you do. I hate seeing good furniture on the road destined to be trashed. Thanks foe giving the old girl new life 😊
Thank you for watching ❤️
I like how you made what was once the same as all others in the line, into something unique, and refreshed.
Thank you 😊
Beautiful restoration of this old lady. Hope someone wants it for their home or office.
Amazing and now this dresser has another life and the woman I’m sure will be ever grateful
Thank you 😊
Really great job on this old dresser and I love how you referred to the furniture as a great lady showing such respect and love for the history of this piece
I love he saying: “when I found this poor thing”… U made a great job!
I had one of those 'old ladies' once upon a time, but I don't have the skills to bring one back to life. Beautifully done.
You have so much talent! And you can see beyond the ugly yo the beauty hidden underneath so many layers of paint and grime. So glad that this was restored rather than painted. The grain on the top is fabulous! I cringe thinking of it being hidden!
That top was amazing! If I hadn't known better I would have said it was a live edge piece. Beautiful piece.
Yesterday I saw a dresser in the dumpster. I was alone and could not pull it out. My apartment has 12 units in one house, 12 in the next house, 2 in the next and the last one has 3. All houses in a row. I hate that folks don't at least leave the furniture outside the dumpster. Or at least post a free ad on CraigsList under free items. I hate the throwaway society Thanks for this presentation. I love your patience and care for the "old lady"
The finish on the top is extraordinary!!!! I am completely blown away!
What a transformation, that old lady, looks like a young lady. Great job. Love it.❤️🧓😘
Yes, thank you
I too like to take old pieces and made them beautiful. I do it so that way I can learn to fix it, and to challenge myself. Good job, it's beautiful 😊
Love that!
I have rescued a few chest of drawers in my time, loved watching your videos, good to be informed and you never disappoint with different approaches, I love the end result. Retro Historical designer from London
I really enjoyed watching this. Hard to imagine that tired old dresser looking so good.
I love all the natural swirls going through the wood. And the gold really did look nice on it. Very beautiful. Thank you for sharing your work and saving the dresser.
You’re most welcome 🤗
Now she's good for another 50 years at least. Great job.
I found your channel and was so happy to see this, we waist time much on this planet, which is why I love old furniture and other things 😇🙏🏻
The plywood grain is amazing! Love the way you brought it out with the burning!
I love how much effort you put to that furniture. Many people would send it to landfill without hesitation. But you do your magic and effect is just great.
Thank you! 😊
That’s the most handsome top of a dresser I’ve seen anywhere. Love it ❤️
I love it when you strip 😏 the paint!
Absolutely stunning!
You restored the grand Lady to her beauty.
Thank you! Cheers!
I love that you don't rely on painting every peice that you save. You really put the hard work and time into each one which makes them that much more amazing!
I love to watch you restore old pieces of furniture
