  • Refurbishing OLD DRESSER | Can This Ugly Duckling Be Saved? | Refinish Your Dark OLD Oak 🤩
    EXTREME Furniture Flip
    Hey guys! Follow along to see how I make over this old and outdated dresser that I didn't have very high hopes for. The finish was old, dirty, and dark, and although it had decent bones, it looked like it was headed for the dump. The customer wanted a complete 180 from what he had given us- he had a vision of an elegant charcoal painted dresser with contrasting light wood, on new modern legs and hardware. Watch us completely TRANSFORM this old thing and turn it into something modern and beautiful. I've got some good tips and tricks in the video so I hope you’ll find them helpful. Products and tools I use or talk about in this video will be listed below :)

    Yeahhhh..... nice you have extra set of hands helping you... and of course puppers too.... they are always such a help.... getting hair and fuzz in everything....🤣 I have so many project pieces sitting waiting for me... time to get some inspiration.

    Gurl, I heard that dresser breathe a sigh of relief when you took of that decorative wood chunks! So ugly, now sleek! Time to upgrade that jigsaw, you won't regret it. Glad you filled in that grain, so professional.

    • @hollysgarage
      @hollysgarage  7 месяцев назад

      Oh my gosh it was so satisfying 😂 they needed to go. Thank you so much! I think the issue was that we were putting too much pressure on the blade when we were trying to get through that metal fastener, but you’re right! The jigsaw is so heavy and big and I’ve seen more compact ones on the market so maybe I will upgrade when the time is right ❤️

    It’s very pretty but I would want the legs to match either the cracked pepper or natural wood color.

  • @margiegerdes7437
    @margiegerdes7437 7 месяцев назад

    I enjoy watching your channel. The reason the bottom drawer had single knobs is probably because it was really the top drawer. Did you try to change them up?

    • @hollysgarage
      @hollysgarage  7 месяцев назад

      Thank you! The drawers came to me in that order, but I wanted to keep them on the bottom because of that dowel repair :) you could definitely be right as they were all the same size! ❤️

    You should wear eye protection when spraying paint and top coat. Be safe.

    • @hollysgarage

      That would definitely be the safe thing to do. Thank you Linda ❤️

  • @frelnc
    @frelnc Месяц назад

    Literally the only thing I would change is the color of the top drawer fronts. I'd do that in paint wash, too. But, whatever the customer wants. Still, darn nice redo.

  • @kimzimmerman2492
    @kimzimmerman2492 3 месяца назад

    This was an outstanding redesign of the very old and very tired dresser. BTW it is about 40-50 years old I remember when that style came out it was pretty hot back in the 70’s 😂 You two always do such a terrific job and figuring out just the right paint color and where to use it, but this time I think you really shined in your efforts and outcome. It is outstanding! I love this piece and who knew what that dingy finish was hiding, and who knew it need your eyes to bring it out. Outstanding job! Oh yes and thanks for using the dowels to fill the old drawer pull holes it helps us learn as we follow along so that is a great hack to know instead of always doing Bondo.

    • @hollysgarage
      @hollysgarage  7 месяцев назад +1

      Hahahaha Oreo!!! The colour is cracked pepper by Behr, it’s such a nice grey! I’m glad you found it funny Kendal would have definitely chopped his ⚾️ ⚾️ off if he tried to jigsaw it standing like that 😂 thanks for all the support!!

      Yeah oak can look really nice stained! But I’d say that old finish with those wooden blocks was already a sin 😂

    @maple9326 7 месяцев назад +1

    Plain acetone works very well to take those finishes off. Use a poly scrub pad of some sort/scraper for the flat surfaces and a small stiffer bristled brush for the details. I put it in a spray bottle for easy application. It takes a bit of practice to work with, but it works well. It evaporates pretty fast so you have to work quickly. And wear rubber gloves of some sort.

    • @hollysgarage
      @hollysgarage  7 месяцев назад

      That’s a really good tip!! I actually had it sitting around but never thought to use it 😅 a spray bottle would be super easy! Do you know if lacquer thinner can also be used in a spray bottle? Thanks for the tips, I’ll definitely try it when I need to strip something detailed again 😊

    • @maple9326
      @maple9326 7 месяцев назад

      I don't see why you couldn't. You can buy chemical resistant spray bottles if you think you need to use one. I've seen them at Princess Auto in Canada.
