I’m not surprised that her husband nearly divorced her, to paint over that was criminal. It wasn’t even shabby chic, it was just shabby! You have rescued a fabulous piece of furniture, it’s a work of art. Thank you for saving this, someone put a lot of work and effort into making that and now with your work and effort, someone who has taste can appreciate it.
Exactly. There are times when paint is justified; I have seen a dreadful piece with peeling veneer and dog chewing damage rescued with some wood filler and paint and look OK. This was NOT one of those! There was nothing wrong with it, it's beautiful, and she did her best to make it look like some old crappy thing that's been on the side porch for years.
I really don't understand why someone would want to cover up such amazing workmanship and beauty with such ugly paint!!! Thank you for restoring it's beauty! Lovely work on the restoration!
Not only furniture. But when they wreak the interior woodwork of a house. Especially the older houses. Where in many cases, they used paint to cover up the Deity given beauty in the form of the grain of the wood.
This is a beautiful restoration. Your choices of colors and finishes were ideal. It now is a gorgeous and true-to-design piece that becomes a feature in any home. The "before" photos made me want to cry.
Another phenomenal restoration. I love that you demonstrate how painted pieces can be returned to a more natural/neutral state. Good solid pieces are more valuable to me, for that reason. Thank you
If the talented carpenter who made this, sees your restoration, he would definitely send you hugs and kissess for saving this piece from the silly former owner who hid his talent behind an ugly layer of paint. Excellent restoration! 👏
You did absolutely perfect. I'm with the lady below, with reference to a divorce. Keep up the great work, after watching this I have just subscribed. Thank you. Katie Anderson
I see why her husband wanted to divorce her. That was so wrong on so many levels. Why would anyone want to paint a beautiful piece of furniture like that. SMH. This turned out amazing! Keep up the amazing work. I appreciate seeing your work. Thank you.
After 50+ years of restoring wood furniture, when I saw what was under that paint, I actually had tears in my eyes! People that Paint that kind of beautiful wood really are - well, I can think of several terms I could use, but I won't. And I agree with her husband, Dear God what an abomination she created! Thank you for saving that Beauty and sharing it's rebirth with us; Keep up the great work, saving Wood beauty for the future!
You got it right! I will never understand people who paint quality timber like this. A beautiful piece of furniture, restored the way it deserved to be. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
hahaha my bf saw the beginning where it said she wanted it to match the guest room and his response was "So her guest room had poo spots on the wall?" LOL GREAT job saving this piece!!
Some people never understood Shabby Chic! What a freaking mess she made … and… you did all the right things ~ gorgeous ~ I’m in love w the restoration on this!
I've never understood the desire to paint over beautiful wood. As to being OCD about the corners and carving, all I can say is "a person after my own heart!" Excellent job!
I totally am glad you left it natural. It was so pretty, what possessed that woman to paint over something so beautiful is beyond me. Awesome job restoring
100% you did the right thing in not staining it, it's such a beautiful stand alone piece, it's beautiful! Thank you for restoring it to its original state!
your channel is gaining momentum. We like you and all your family. Content! You totally made the right decision. A masterpiece such as this could take a laquer stain to make a change. Thank goodness you have brought it back and it's protected. Nice ASMR. Plus we love to hear you too. Don't be a stranger.😍
Hi Greg. I will speak when I feel the content warrants it. It seems from the comments from my viewers that they prefer the ASMR video. It is actually easier than narrating it. However, I have a DANCE STUDIO next door to my shop that plays music very loud so it is difficult to video tape sometimes for the ASMR with all that noise in the background! I plan my asmr shots around her classes. LOL!
It's a fine line knowing the value of a nice piece of furniture and stopping yourself from chalking it. Not everything looks better painted. What a find!
I do not produce videos of every piece of furniture I refinish. Sometimes the wood is in poor shape so I do not produce a video (or do not complete it). I only do videos of those pieces I think my viewers would appreciate seeing the process and results.
This was a beautiful job ,I do this kind of thing myself,I have never found anything so lovely underneath paint ,you made a fantastic job,and whoever painted it in the first place must have been mad.
WHen I saw the carving I hoped it had some nice wood grain. I could see by looking at the inside of the cabinet that it had high quality veneer. When ever I strip painted furniture I hold my breath until I finish stripping it because I am afraid they painted it to cover up some damaged wood that has been filled in with a lot of wood filler.
Me too!!!! I was shocked. When I stripped the doors and saw the burl I was even more shocked. I kept waiting for some big damaged area to be uncovered by the stripper! Surely you would only paint something so beautiful if the wood was too damaged?
Absolutely perfect !!! Why in the world would anyone want to paint over such a beautiful piece of furniture, I will never understand. You have brought it back to it’s former glory. Very well done.
my son watches the antiques roadshow and saw a piece just like that and it is worth a lot. it is absolutely beautiful piece and i am so glad you were able to restore it. it will add grace and warmth to any home.
Very cool! I will have to research the value. I do not believe it was an antique and I plan to give it to my son and his wife so I am not selling it. But good to know the value! Thanks for watching
So beautiful unstained. These style of pieces are so detailed but in my opinion they are always so dark and heavy looking. Never seen this style unstained before. Love it!! Great job!!
You did the right thing. I hope you kept it for yourself. You had a very loving touch while you were waxing it. You deserve to keep it for yourself. It is magnificent.
LOL! I sold it to a woman and when she came to pick it up she saw the chest I was working on. She also purchased the chest. In fact, she had me stain the chest to match this piece. She was lovely. It is always rewarding to have a client appreciate ( and love) my work. It is also rewarding to have viewers say nice things like you did :-)

Is crappy chic a thing? Yes!
Amen perfectly said!!!
Shabby chic? More like Hot Mess. This is amazing. Thank you for restoring it to the original glory.
@@pato6334 hahaha
I can’t believe that anyone would paint over that. No wonder her husband was annoyed! You did a beautiful job bringing it back.
The wood grain on here is beautiful
I really don't understand why someone would want to cover up such amazing workmanship and beauty with such ugly paint!!!
Thank you for restoring it's beauty! Lovely work on the restoration!
Absolute perfection! Glad you did not stain. What crazy person paints furniture that is a work of art, thank you for saving it.🤗
I agree!
Please do not stain it, it's the most beautiful piece of furniture that I have seen in a long time.❤
LOL! I agree that it is a very unique and special piece
Agree. You did the right thing by not coloring over the wood with stain. Takes guts,doesn't it?
Who ever painted this piece of furniture was nuts I can't imagine covering this beauty up, good job. 🏴 🇨🇦
This is a triumphal restoration! It is shocking to know someone painted over all that beautiful wood grain. Thank you for the amazing video.
Thanks Laura!
We need to form a Furniture Police Department for people who damage beautiful furniture. Love what you did with it.
Great idea!
Not only furniture. But when they wreak the interior woodwork of a house. Especially the older houses. Where in many cases, they used paint to cover up the Deity given beauty in the form of the grain of the wood.
😆😆
It is GORGEOUS!!! How could anyone paint something so beautiful.
I agree. Just glad I found it and could bring it back! Please give it a thumbs up. That helps my channel a LOT!
This is a beautiful restoration. Your choices of colors and finishes were ideal. It now is a gorgeous and true-to-design piece that becomes a feature in any home. The "before" photos made me want to cry.
GORGEOUS !!!!💖💖💖💖💖
Seeing the wood underneath is one of the best parts of stripping paint.
I agree! It is like uncovering a treasure!
Another phenomenal restoration. I love that you demonstrate how painted pieces can be returned to a more natural/neutral state. Good solid pieces are more valuable to me, for that reason. Thank you
Thank you very much!
For anyone that appreciates he beauty of wood, you're a saviour!!!! You made an incredible repair of this beautiful piece. Lovely work as always 😊
That top!!!! ,,,that grain on the doors beautiful
Hi Dodd!! Nice to hear from you again. YES Isn't it amazing?!!!
If the talented carpenter who made this, sees your restoration, he would definitely send you hugs and kissess for saving this piece from the silly former owner who hid his talent behind an ugly layer of paint. Excellent restoration! 👏
Lovely though! Thanks for watching!
You did absolutely perfect. I'm with the lady below, with reference to a divorce. Keep up the great work, after watching this I have just subscribed. Thank you. Katie Anderson
Perfect just the way it is. I can’t believe someone painted over that beauty.
You got it absolutely perfect! So glad you let it shine as it was, not stained it.
Stunning. I cannot believe someone that painting that gorgeous wood was a good idea!
Me too! I was certainly expecting the wood to be damaged under the paint! I was shocked it was in perfect condition.
I see why her husband wanted to divorce her. That was so wrong on so many levels. Why would anyone want to paint a beautiful piece of furniture like that. SMH. This turned out amazing! Keep up the amazing work. I appreciate seeing your work. Thank you.
i agree. Thanks for watching!
It looks GORGEOUS! What a Cinderella story!
Gorgeous! It's nice to see people restoring beautiful wood pieces hidden under "shabby chic makeovers"!
After 50+ years of restoring wood furniture, when I saw what was under that paint, I actually had tears in my eyes! People that Paint that kind of beautiful wood really are - well, I can think of several terms I could use, but I won't. And I agree with her husband, Dear God what an abomination she created!
Thank you for saving that Beauty and sharing it's rebirth with us; Keep up the great work, saving Wood beauty for the future!
Wow! Thank you for your kind remarks! You motivate me.
You got it right! I will never understand people who paint quality timber like this. A beautiful piece of furniture, restored the way it deserved to be. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you very much! I agree.
What a stunning transformation!!!! I can’t believe people do that to furniture so gorgeous in the first place!!!
Thank you so much!!
Thank God u found it. U did an awesome job.
Yes, thank you
hahaha my bf saw the beginning where it said she wanted it to match the guest room and his response was "So her guest room had poo spots on the wall?" LOL GREAT job saving this piece!!
LOL!
Oh boy! Just shabby....what possesses people? Those gorgeous details! Burled wood panels! What an honor to do this piece! You got it very right!
I agree- hopefully people will see this and think twice about doing the same thing to a piece of furniture!
Totally agree and second the husband, and thank you deeply for bringing this back to life. Superb job
Glad you enjoyed it
Some people never understood Shabby Chic! What a freaking mess she made … and… you did all the right things ~ gorgeous ~ I’m in love w the restoration on this!
WOW! What a gorgeous piece! Who in their right mind would paint it? Thanks for making it beautiful once again.
Thank you very much!
You're welcome. But you did the hard part I just warched.
Beautiful just as it is. Nothing more is needed
Thank you for saving it. Really shocking.
I agree with leaving it like that. You did such a beautiful job bringing it back.
Merci! Delicious...
Thank you for rescuing this beauty! I love that you leave it a little raw and let the wood speak for itself.
Yes and it has a lot to say!
I've never understood the desire to paint over beautiful wood. As to being OCD about the corners and carving, all I can say is "a person after my own heart!" Excellent job!
LOL! Thank you Louis
Espectacular!!! Una verdadera belleza!! Increíble que alguien haya pintado encima de una obra de arte como ésta.
I totally am glad you left it natural. It was so pretty, what possessed that woman to paint over something so beautiful is beyond me.
Awesome job restoring
You did a great job! Showing the grain of that beautiful wood was masterful. ❤️
Восторг!
Какой красавец!!!
Браво!
GORGEOUS transformation, great work! NO please don't stain it!
Thank you!

That is a gorgeous piece !!! Such a marvelous treasure under that paint.
Thanks for watching. I agree!
Очередная жертва вандала-маляра. Вы проделали отличную работу. Какой прекрасный предмет мебели - произведение искусства! Спасибо что поделились.

I agree- paint it only as a last resort!
Amazing!!! You luck out and get the most beautiful pieces covered in paint! I love how finished it. It looks beautiful!
I do not produce videos of every piece of furniture I refinish. Sometimes the wood is in poor shape so I do not produce a video (or do not complete it). I only do videos of those pieces I think my viewers would appreciate seeing the process and results.
Thank God you rescued this beautiful piece, the lady literally vandalized it. Leaving it raw is right, great job.
Thank you very much!

When ALMOST, is never good enough! Shabby Chic my posterior, that was trailer trash nonessential. Thanks for the rescue of this nice piece.
LOL! At least she did not send it to the landfill! Please give it a thumbs up. That helps my channel a LOT!
I almost passed out when I saw that beautiful wood under all that shabby. Great job!
Me too!!!! I was shocked. When I stripped the doors and saw the burl I was even more shocked. I kept waiting for some big damaged area to be uncovered by the stripper! Surely you would only paint something so beautiful if the wood was too damaged?
@@FurnitureFlippingForProfit I would never be able to bring myself to paint over such beautiful wood! That's crazy! 😜🤪
This piece is gorgeous. I think you did it justice by bringing it back to it’s original glory.
Thanks! I think so too!
It’s perfect, you did an amazing job restoring it to its former beauty!
Thank you Edna!
Absolutely perfect !!! Why in the world would anyone want to paint over such a beautiful piece of furniture, I will never understand. You have brought it back to it’s former glory. Very well done.
My thoughts exactly! Many thanks!
You did a great job. This is a wonderful piece. I would love to have one like this. You really did the right thing by not staining it.
You got it so right. It was insane to cover that beautiful piece with sloppy white paint. Thank you for fixing it.
It is gorgeous. You always find the greatest wood pieces to transform. Awesome work again.
Thank you very much! I only create videos of the really cool pieces. The plain ones are not video worthy!
You got it right! Beautiful!
Yay, thank you!
Uratowałaś przepiękny mebel👍'chwała Ci za to kobieto- pozdrawiam
So glad to see this lovely piece of furniture restored to its original beauty. It deserves to be showcased.
I agree! Thanks for watching!
Amazing!! I too love the natural look of wood!
Thank you! Cheers!
You rescued a grand old lady. Good for you, a wonderful piece
Gorgeous piece! Thank you for rescuing it! Was there a factory label or date on it?
It's not a very old piece it's well made and designed but not old.
Not that I know of
I agree Chris I don't know how old it is but it is not vintage or antique. 20-30 years old at the most.
@@FurnitureFlippingForProfit, it looks like some of it is burled walnut?
Bombay furniture company?
You fgot it ABSOLUTELY right! It’s beautiful!
Omg it’s soooo beautiful, excellent work love it.
Thank you! Cheers!
You got it right!
You did an amazing job! I would not have stained it either. I am all for painting wood, but no when it looks like this! ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
my son watches the antiques roadshow and saw a piece just like that and it is worth a lot. it is absolutely beautiful piece and i am so glad you were able to restore it. it will add grace and warmth to any home.
Very cool! I will have to research the value. I do not believe it was an antique and I plan to give it to my son and his wife so I am not selling it. But good to know the value! Thanks for watching
That was a shame that anyone would paint over that beautiful wood. It ended up looking awesome!!
Glad you liked it.
WOW. She painted it and then after a while decided to sell it? WOW. I'm speechless. Great video. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Why oh why would you paint this beautiful cabinet. You did a fantastic job bring it back to where it should be
Thanks Tina- I agree 100%. There was no reason to paint it!
Absolutely stunning. Why would anyone think it’s ok to paint over that beautiful piece of furniture is beyond me. Great work.
My thoughts exactly
Who painted this forniture is very crazy 🥺 thanks for give it a new life with his soul. Beautiful 💞
Thank you!
you got it "totally right" gorgeous wood... "priceless" ....thax you... for seeing the beauty of that wood...
and you didn't do all that yab dab doah talking....just kept it real !
LOL! Glad you appreciate the ASMR. Seems like many, many of my viewers agree with you!
Can't believe she painted over that beautiful piece
So beautiful unstained. These style of pieces are so detailed but in my opinion they are always so dark and heavy looking. Never seen this style unstained before. Love it!! Great job!!
I totally agree! I have never seen it unstained either and that is why I questioned my decision. Glad you agree!
You absolutely got it right- a true rescue.
You did the right thing. I hope you kept it for yourself. You had a very loving touch while you were waxing it. You deserve to keep it for yourself. It is magnificent.
LOL! I sold it to a woman and when she came to pick it up she saw the chest I was working on. She also purchased the chest. In fact, she had me stain the chest to match this piece. She was lovely. It is always rewarding to have a client appreciate ( and love) my work. It is also rewarding to have viewers say nice things like you did :-)
You asked our opinions. I think leaving it raw was a brilliant idea. Wow! The inlaid design on the top is absolutely stunning.
Glad you agreed with my decision. Thanks for watching Mary kay!
Absolutely exquisite......I also totally understand the husband's reaction.
Wow, just wow. I can't believe anyone would paint over this, but you did a fabulous job restoring it! Congratulations on another lovely refinishing!
Thank you so much!
You did it justice leaving it as is re. . . not staining. It’s gorgeous.

Hi Grammy!!!! Nice to hear from you again!
How could anyone cover that beautiful craftsmanship. OMG!
What a stunning restoration! It is perfect without staining. You must have been thrilled with your results. AWESOME!
❤ Shirley
Leaving it natural was the right call. What a beautiful piece.
Glad you agree!
Had you done any thing more than you did it would been a felony. It is beautiful, I am so glad l got to see it. Thank you
LOL! Glad I chose not to stain it lest I end up imprisoned!!
I was so relieved when you put away the stain and didn't re-ruin this!
You were right not to stain it. It is truly beautiful and you are a master! Thank you by the way for no music. I loved listening to you work.
Glad you liked it. I agree that stain would have hidden the grain.
You got it right!!!! It's beautiful I'm so glad you saved it!!!
Yes! Thank you!
You did right. Upped the value by hundreds. Beautiful
Thank you Gege!
It's beautiful as is.
The corners and carved details are what make you the professional you are. Great job!
Wow, thank you!
OMG. You were so right 👍. You released it's intended glorious beauty. Fantastic 😊
Absolutely incredible transformation... Just gorgeous.
Вы кудесница, раскрыли такую красоту. Умница!
