AMAZING RESTORATION of RARE VINTAGE 1930s WATERFALL DRESSER. Relaxing Furniture Restoration Video
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- This vintage waterfall dresser had been spray painted with primer and used in a garage to store tools for many years. It was calling out to me to restore it. Unfortunately, when I stripped off the paint, the years of abuse and neglect were apparent! Cigarette burns were noted on the top and hundreds of scratches, gouges and marred areas littered the top and sides.
I have never seen such a badly damaged finish!
While these areas were not scratched very deep into the wood veneer, they were embedded with years and years of dirt, oil and grime! Simple sanding would never have gotten rid of them because it would have gone through the veneer.
More drastic measures were required.
I kept asking myself, "Can I restore this original stained finish on the top and sides or should I just paint it and stain the drawers?" It certainly would have been easiest to simply paint the top and sides black and stain the drawers.
I wanted to give it my best to try to restore it ..... watch the video to see if I was successful!

That's just WOW. thank you for sharing and taking the time to bring it back to such beauty. I can never understand how people can paint and then miss treat wooden furniture. It always upsets me when people abuse wooden furniture so badly. My Dad did restoration for a living and i have come to appreciate wooden furniture and in treating the wood respect the makers of them.
Because it’s not valuable to their aesthetic. This kind of furniture looks old and fusty to many people. Perhaps the man who used it in his garage already had a household full of furniture he, and presumably his wife, had.
Different times, different styles
Sometimes furniture and other pieces of things special to the elders are a burden.
Hi Melinda. I think he had no clue how to restore it. Under the paint, it was in pretty bad shape. So, I give him a little credit for NOT just taking it to the landfill. At least he got some more use out of it until he was ready to pass it on to me!
I agree Ametrinefire. I believe that people will begin to have an appreciation again of the beauty of wood grain and stained furniture. The pendulum will swing back...
@@FurnitureFlippingForProfit truth is a beautiful job and I wish you could come to my house and fix mine. I have one in my bedroom and love it if even though it needs restoring
I don't get painting beautiful wood either. Just don't get it?
You are a miracle worker!!! Simply gorgeous!!! I have a waterfall dresser in my garage I have been staring at and working around for way too long. You have motivated me to work on it. Thank you. And thank you for doing these videos, you are extremely inspiring.
Thanks Melanie. Take your time with the waterfall dresser and you will be rewarded!!!
This restoration job is masterful. You were very patient and focused! I might have been tempted to give up after bleach application 3 or 4, but YOU persisted and got the desired result! What a beautiful piece.
Thanks Laura. I am glad you appreciated how much work it was!
I would never imagined it would come out this nicely.
Oh, hello beautiful…so wonderful to see you again!! ❤
Это блестящая работа.У меня даже слов нет.Работа восхитительная.Браво мастера ❤❤❤❤❤
That belongs in a museum! Beautiful!
What a great compliment! Thanks!
My grandmother had a whole bedroom set of the when I was a child. I thought it was so beautiful. I think I need to start looking for my own now. I still love it! You did beautiful job of restoring this piece.
Thanks- keep looking and you will find one!
Your tanacity paid off in spades, another miracle by you!
Thanks Mary!
OH MY GOD.....it is fabulous.....love love love the wood grain.....
Thanks! it was well worth the effort!
Wow a true labor of love for craftmanship
Oh..... that's phenomenal. Just beautiful.
It turned out gorgeous, beautiful restoration
Absolutely gorgeous 😍 so glad you brought this beautiful piece back to life.
Thank you so much!
That's incredible! I didn't know you could repair veneer, I'll have to rethink my next project. I'm happy you paid as much attention to the inside of the dresser as the outside. I see so many pieces redone with no attention to the interior. Beautiful job!
My clients are always impressed when I stain and seal the drawers. Thanks!!!
Stunning piece! The transformation is incredible!!
Just WOW! You work hard to bring back the beauty.
Wow, thank you!
Beautiful job!!! I love that u finished the inside of the drawers.
It's beautiful
wow , what a beautiful chest of drawers
Thank you! Cheers!
I thought painting for sure. Great work. It will go another 100 years
Wow. That is beautiful. So nice you were able to save it from being painted.
Thank you Jodi!
Stunningly Beautiful.
Such a beautiful restoration! ❤
You did an amazing job to restore the waterfall dresser.
Thanks so much Hana! The encouragement I receive from my viewers is so wonderful!!!
Ugh it looks soo good. I'm much more interested in a piece with scratches and dents that has real wood grain vs a perfect painted piece, so I think this beauty was well worth the effort😍
Thank you Branmuffin!
That is a masterpiece
Absolutely gorgeous 😍
Phenomenal work! 👏🏻So glad RUclips led me to this channel!
What a beautiful piece was hidden under that paint. I thought you wouldn't be able to get those stains out of the top. Good job !
Yay my day is saved! Hello from Birmingham UK 🇬🇧
Hello back from US! Glad you liked the video!
This is fantastic,,,what a beautiful job you did,,brought back from the dump
Thanks Dodd- always nice to hear from you!
Wow, that was a ton of work. It really paid off though. Stunning 🤩
Yes it was! Thanks Leslie!
WOW... Such beautiful work!
Wonderful. What a sensitive and beautiful restoration. Well done.
Thank you Jonathan!
Blows my mind that someone would paint over such a nice piece. Beautiful restoration!
Por suerte hay personas como tú , el que pintó este mueble era un salvaje.
Wow. That was a labor of love! Brought the piece back to former beauty.
Thanks Vickie!
I couldn't believe my eyes. It's stunning. What a great job
LOL! Glad you liked it! Please give it a thumbs up. That helps my channel a LOT!
I admire your tenacity. I don't understand either how people can paint over something with such great inlaid wood veneer.
I can only assume I did that a several years ago when I thought it was just not in style anymore.
At least the majority of the veneer was still there and you only had to do some patchwork.
I use either a wire brush or a fiber brush to get the old paint out of wood grooves myself.
I use oxalic acid as my wood bleach.
Awesome job in revealing the beautiful veneer underneath excellent job!
Thanks James. I used a nylon brush with Krud Kutter and it worked well but it stained the bare wood . Zinsser wood bleach then bleached everything to an even color.
Wow...you are a miracle worker!
Thank you Sharon!
Beautiful restoration. Nice to see it useful and lovely once again.
Glad you enjoyed it
So beautiful when you finished this dresser!! I appreciate how hard you worked on this piece!!
Thank you Lynette!
Stunning! I'm so glad you didn't have to paint it.
Just the strip of inlay between the top & middle drawer made all your efforts worthwhile! Amazing woodworking and great restoration! Thank you for rescuing that absolute beauty!
Thanks Nancy. I am glad you enjoyed my work!
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
Such a beautiful piece of furniture under that horrible grey paint. Thank you for restoring it to it's rightful glory!
Glad you like it!

Thank you!
Beautiful !!!
I just watched for the first time. Fantastic job!! You gave it life again!!

Thank you Michelle!
What a beautiful restoration! I really enjoy your videos and have learned so much. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful job, most impressive!
Thanks Ashley!
This is my favorite style of furniture, thank you for the beautiful rescue. Would you consider ever having a video about the selling part of your business? Like, what worked out, what you wish you knew in the beginning, fb vs craigslist, that kind of thing.I love the restoration work, but selling is a new world to me. This came out so well.
Hi . Glad you liked the video. I have 2 videos that talk in great detail about how to make money flipping furniture. The links to these videos are :ruclips.net/video/QdaUK26QJK0/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/PLsZ_8Nbnf0/видео.html
As I watched this I kept thinking about the original craftsmen who put the piece together and how happy they would be to see you restoring it to what it once was. It must be so gratifying to uncover all the beautiful details, uncovering that inlay must have felt like finding buried treasure! Really great work!
You described my feelings exactly when I uncovered the inlay. However, I was so frustrated because the body was in such bad shape!!! So many times I just wanted to paint it - it would have been so much easier!!! I am glad I worked through it and got it all to work!
wow!! amazing!
Beautiful job.
Thank you so much 😀
WOW !!!!! Super !
Thank you! Cheers!
WOW💜💫💜 She is absolutely a Stunner now💛💫💛 Your hard work with this beauty really shows!!! I Love the inlay pattern!! Who knew? Absolutely Divine❤️🌹❤️
Thank you so much!
Wow is right. Amazing
Thanks Terry!
Thank you this is Wooooow 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you Rita!
spectacular
That is awesome
Thanks!
WOW!
Thank you!
Wow!!
Работа Мастера!! Модель сама по себе хороша изначально,но после реставрации...-- шик ! Снимаю шляпу !
Beautifull! Always natural wood is nicer!
It sure is!
That is such a beautiful piece of furniture, the stain is wonderful but do not paint it if you can bring it back to its original beauty. Once again, Job well done.
😮The "WATERFALL DRESSER" turned out INCREDIBLE!!!! But personally, I think I would have used One Handle, instead of the Two Wood Ones next to one another. Just personal choice.
I understand. I’ve seen a lot of this kind of furniture over many years and this arrangement was new to me. It’s odd and yet right to my eyes, but I don’t know why.
Wouldn’t it be a treat to visit with the designer and learn about his thinking?!
Hi. I was restoring it so I always try to keep the original hardware. Thanks for watching!!!
@@FurnitureFlippingForProfit Yes, we understand you were restoring it, as I stated, personal preference.
Parabéns 🇧🇷
WOW WOW WOW. YOU ARE AMAZING!!! You put your heart and soul into that piece and it is so beautiful! Do you think you will keep it? By the way…. Thank you for not playing annoying music throughout the video. Most flippers think we have the attention span of a two year old and need to listen to something while we watch 😜
LOL Lind!! I listen to my viewers and overwhelmingly they do not like the music and prefer the shop sounds. Based on the number of views and likes (and comments) it seems that my viewers prefer no speaking at all. That is why I post written directions during the video. I am still learning about RUclips and editing videos- you can see the changes in my videos if you look back at my older ones. Thanks for watching. I read your comments (obviously) and value them. Please give this video a "like" that helps my channel a LOT! Cheers!
@@FurnitureFlippingForProfit
You are doing a great job. I really don’t mind your voice though but either way your videos are really helpful. Giving you a thumbs up.
And ll that beauty hidden behind paint !
Yes it was a real surprise to see the gorgeous grain to the wood!
One advise to you, for rekoving the stripper, after application an removal the old coats, nothing is better than sawdust, it absorves the humedity of the furniture remaining stripper, but also can clean even more than paper.
By the way, excelent work, congratulations.
Great tip! thanks!
That is absolutely stunning...now. I can't believe he put that primer on it. You really put the work into that piece and it shows! Nice job! 👍🙂
I guess the primer coordinated with the color scheme in his garage. LOL! I was surprised how damaged it was under the primer.
@@FurnitureFlippingForProfit good job, the only down for me was the part filled. Replacing it with new wood is better to me
thankfully I think the primer protected the top from damage from his tools and things. Beautiful job. I've had my eye on a waterfall dresser in a junk shop. This gives me some ideas.
See if you can find BRONZE wool for the next one.
Steel wool can leave tiny metal fibres on "fuzzy" grain. You can get most of it out by wrapping a serious magnet in a piece of clean cheese-cloth and gently going over the surface.
If you miss any steel-wool fibres, the tend to show up as tiny RUST stains later. On dark timbers, this is probably of minor consequence, but not so with light-coloured wood, However timber like Teak will sometimes stain with an odd purplish colour if steel fibres are present.
Bronze wool is preferable because any fibres left behind are often very short and they do not corrode in the same manner.
You seem confident with the single-edged razor on that veneers, . Try iut a Xacto "craft / hobby" knife, a multitude of different shaped blades and a decent-sized handle. Reduces bloodstains on your work.
Steaming? The Clothes iron is good for large flat areas, but for those annoying small dents, try an elctric soldering iron with a "flat" tip fitted. Pyrography irons work well, too. You can either place a damp cloth over the dent anfd then apply the heat, or place a drop or two of water and let it soak in a bit before applying the heat. Really old dents usually take several attempts to get a reasonable result.
Love your work and dedication!
I have never had a problem with steel wool breaking apart. I DO have a problem with it sticking me through the nitrile gloves tho!
I'd like to have a word with the person who looked at the inlay and said "I think that would look good painted grey".
LOL! Thanks for watching Wolfgang!
Very good work. Turned out nice. I doubt if those pulls are original. That style of furniture would have had metal and bakelite fancy pulls. If those were original it would have been one on each end not two.
Thank you for bringing this back instead of painting or’pickling” or some other hideous thing. Those videos make me sick as a lover of wood and restorer for 20 yr
Glad you enjoyed it!
that looked like the Dallas Arboretum...
Good Job. Though I think the color is just too dark
I hope you own stock in the company that makes the stripper.
Geeeez- I agree!!!! I wish they would sponsor my video and give me some free product. However, that is what is takes to refinish a piece a furniture so as the say "it is what it is!"
That is beautiful. Why do people put paint on such beautiful prices?
It was in pretty bad shape under the paint so I think he painted it so he could continue to use it. I don't think he probably had any idea how to refinish it. I am grateful that he used primer because it was really easy to take off! At least he did not throw it in the dump! He got several more years of use until I came along and saved it!!! It was meant to be.
Wow thats the most convoluted way of doing veneer banding I have ever seen! You might as well have used filler there it looks the same
Well done!
But not many people want that stye of furniture these days.
It depends on where you live. In the Northeast, this style is very popular.
Who could have guessed that that ugly duckling would end up such a fine and handsome beast! I would have chosen lighter stain though. It’s too different from the original wood colour. Just saying. Nice restoration though❤️🦘
It's beautiful but why didn't you try Oxalic acid on the stains
I have never tried it before but from the videos I have seen it seems that it does not work all that great. Do you have personal experience with it?
The designer of this beautiful piece of furniture should lay charges of defamation and sabotage on his artistic work and efforts to the person responsible for the destruction thereof.
Agreed!
Beautiful!!
Stunning
Thank you! 😊
I’m speechless! And have to say a little emotional, this was a straight up rescue! And the patina on her looks like normal wear and tear not like she’d been abused for years. Thank you for this restoration ❤️❤️❤️
Oh gee Desiree thanks so very much!!! I too was very emotional. I was so frustrated because I was afraid I would have to paint it!!! When I began to apply the stain, I could still see a few of the marks but the stain covered them beautifully. Well, 3 coats of the stain!
I wish I could find $1 dressers like that! Excellent work!
Thanks! Please give it a thumbs up!!! RUclips favors videos with lots of "likes"
@@FurnitureFlippingForProfit 👍you bet!
I wonder what the prior owner's reaction would be.
