I always feel sad to see a nice piece of solid wood painted. Wood is so beautiful on it's own. I would only paint real wood if there was no other alternative to restore it. The original wood cabinet, without paint, was worth more as an antique, adding paint decreases the value.
Is it me or does everyone just paint furniture in the same color for flips? This piece already looked stunning. I wouldn't have covered up the beautiful wood.
@@donnabelitz3105 You are entirely right! I agree that damaged, stained wood would be OK to paint. I've seen some remarkable rescues of old pieces that blended painted bits with natural wood bits, paint to cover some very old water damage, that I quite liked. Much better to resort to paint than to scrap the entire piece.
When it comes to classic real wood furniture it is best to just clean and varnish the wood to make it pop. The natural wood grain was beautiful. It still looks good but not what this piece deserved.

I love the piece. The wood graining was beautiful. Did not like the paint. Everyone seems to be doing a form of green paint. It is a cute piece but just a fan of letting the beauty of natural wood shine.

No market in selling wood looking furniture. I do 40,000$ + a month in painted used furniture, no one will buy a used brown piece of furniture for any money
I can almost guarantee someone will post a video one day restoring it to its natural beauty. At least That’s what I tell myself when I see videos of “DIY Pros” destroying beautiful vintage pieces like this
It is a commode cabinet. Historically when indoor plumbing first became a thing the toilets didn’t come in a separate room so they were built into cabinets to be hidden. Eventually that evolved into having water closets and bathrooms with fixed toilets so they commode cabinet makers kept making cabinets, just without the toilet in them. It is still common in older generations to call those particular cabinets “commodes.” My grandparents had a very nice one in their entry way and always called it that.
That dresser USED to have a bowl and pitcher on top and a John bucket in the cupboard below and was once called a commode... To aCCOMODate ur needs. 🖐🏻☺️
OOO I do love this make over! No unessential changes to the shape/texture/patterns and keeping the original hardware was a Smart choice! I love how you left the top wood, fits perfectly!
Even tho I am young myself…but sometimes I wish these beautiful furnitures don’t end up in young people hands since the style nowadays is different from back then so the higher chances we will ruined antique and beautiful furniture 😩 like why not just buy cheap furniture from ikea that already looks like that! or do these DIY to ikea furniture instead 🤧. let’s respect antique furniture because we all know they don’t make furniture like that anymore, dang even clothes..our future generations are going to thrift low quality furniture and clothes made from shein 😭
She did this because this peace would have gone to landfill otherswise. Say what you will, she saved it. Also paint isn't permanent, the wood is still there
You will be fine to see every thing changes with time & seasons and new 🆕 generations who worked hard to restore a throw away to a beautiful piece most people would love to have now. She recycled & restored renewed a throw away & you must make her good work all about you & your age ,& your personal preference is selfish and unkind. Especially from a person your age who should have better manners & appreciate younger 🌱🌹💝😘 people doing good works to throw away furniture & make it into a new 🆕 very valuabke beauty now smile 😁❤️!!!! She should be applauded not beat up socially in line by folks like you who are stuck in their old ways that's not what every one else must follow Be nice or just keep your negative selfish agendas to your self would be more helpful to younger people today, not attacks for art 🎨🎭 work if their own restriction, ok !!!!!! 👁️ 👁️ 🙏.
It kills me when people ruin a piece by hiding the wood, rather than taking the little extra time it would take to bring out the grain and make it truly beautiful.
All ive been seeing is ppl renovating old furniture they have found.. Every single one stupidly paints it. Leave the wood alone. Clean it up, seal it with stuff to keep it from wearing down, but don't paint it.. Makes it look tacky tbh
im sorry but im so tired of these little influencers ruining antique or vintage wood pieces with some dixie belle color. it's always the same damn colors.
Personally I am tired of all wood. And I love wood. If The wood tones and colors are interesting-I prefer wood. But I am no purist about it. The color choices are often boring since so many use the muted greens but better than the all gray trend-blegh, Give me that dame piece in a pink maybe. I mean she did a great job on it-looks good even in the muted green ...
It's about a lack of respect for the past and the talent/skill that resided there. Anyone can strip and anyone can paint. But few people have enough sense to say, "Leave this piece alone." Or, "Let's bring it back to its former glory." Then you're looking at a true artist. For all we know, these little influencers are related to the guy who threw paint on the Mona Lisa.
All that new trendy painted-wood furniture in the stores is made of cheap trashy wood, not beautiful tiger-eye oak. Your piece ended up beautiful, but now it just looks like that cheap trashy wood.
Doesn’t anyone see the value in the original , pls don’t take offense but sometimes old pieces just need cleaned and restrained, You did a nice job but I prefer the orginal
Commode? Nice job but I'm a little confused. Not what I envisioned as a commode. Call me whatever but I thought a commode was a chair that Grandma and grandpa use. Guess I need to catch up on things a bit.
im just guessing here but since she sanded the top, she wouldnt had to sand the body too but that is impossible to do with the rivets and trims of the body. second option wouldve been to attempt to match the stain again, but shed risk ruining it again due to bad colour match. third option would then be what she is confident doing, painting it, and she did a great job painting it
I mean if you've been paying attention to her home, almost everything is painted. You can't expect her to just put a random hardwood piece amongst her more "modern" furniture.. And if you don't like what she does why do you keep watching lol?
As a historian and restorer, everyone chill the f out. Paint isn't permanent, and she is the one who bought it. The peace is still in tact, just under a layer of *NOT* *PERMANENT* paint.

I kbow right! I thought she was going to stain and keep the wood as it is because it looked so gorgeous with the handles, but.......
Yeah same! I thought with the seal type thing she put on, she was just gonna leave it :(
My thoughts exactly. The natural wood is beautiful. Or sand it down and seal it...or lightly bleach it but let the grain show. Why always paint it?
Yeah those years of grease and grime erm... Yeah years of patina 🤦🏻♀️
Prefer the original wood patina when it is so rich with grained wood
That hardware is stunning!
Paint on wood should be a crime. If you paint it, it might as well just be plastic. Wood is a superior beauty all on its own.
Yes, unless it's super damaged, I really agree especially with antiques when they used some cool solid wood and or nice veneers back in the day.

I can almost guarantee someone will post a video one day restoring it to its natural beauty. At least That’s what I tell myself when I see videos of “DIY Pros” destroying beautiful vintage pieces like this
I prefer the natural wood and aged hardware.
Commode?? This is not a toilet, correct? Am I missing something?
It is a commode cabinet.
Historically when indoor plumbing first became a thing the toilets didn’t come in a separate room so they were built into cabinets to be hidden. Eventually that evolved into having water closets and bathrooms with fixed toilets so they commode cabinet makers kept making cabinets, just without the toilet in them. It is still common in older generations to call those particular cabinets “commodes.” My grandparents had a very nice one in their entry way and always called it that.

Nice. But I would love to have seen the natural beauty bought back out.
That woodgrain WAS gorgeous.
WAS 😭
Was, but flippers like her just can't help themselves.
Um, you did a good job but if I see another piece of furniture painted sage green I’m going to scream.
nice, you managed to cove up the natural beauty of the wood in this piece with some douchey looking pain job...
Congratulations u totally f’d up a beautiful old chest of drawers . If u don’t like antiques please leave them for those of us that do !🤨🙁🙄😖😔
I don’t like painted wood furniture
Liked it before - just needed to be cleaned
Anyone else confused when she said commode? 💩
That dresser USED to have a bowl and pitcher on top and a John bucket in the cupboard below and was once called a commode...
To aCCOMODate ur needs.
🖐🏻☺️
OOO I do love this make over! No unessential changes to the shape/texture/patterns and keeping the original hardware was a Smart choice! I love how you left the top wood, fits perfectly!
That was some gorgeous wood you covered with paint. :(
Even tho I am young myself…but sometimes I wish these beautiful furnitures don’t end up in young people hands since the style nowadays is different from back then so the higher chances we will ruined antique and beautiful furniture 😩
like why not just buy cheap furniture from ikea that already looks like that! or do these DIY to ikea furniture instead 🤧.
let’s respect antique furniture because we all know they don’t make furniture like that anymore, dang even clothes..our future generations are going to thrift low quality furniture and clothes made from shein 😭
🙌🏻💯
She did this because this peace would have gone to landfill otherswise. Say what you will, she saved it. Also paint isn't permanent, the wood is still there
You will be fine to see every thing changes with time & seasons and new 🆕 generations who worked hard to restore a throw away to a beautiful piece most people would love to have now.
She recycled & restored renewed a throw away & you must make her good work all about you & your age ,& your personal preference is selfish and unkind. Especially from a person your age who should have better manners & appreciate younger 🌱🌹💝😘 people doing good works to throw away furniture & make it into a new 🆕 very valuabke beauty now smile 😁❤️!!!!
She should be applauded not beat up socially in line by folks like you who are stuck in their old ways that's not what every one else must follow
Be nice or just keep your negative selfish agendas to your self would be more helpful to younger people today, not attacks for art 🎨🎭 work if their own restriction, ok !!!!!! 👁️ 👁️ 🙏.
It kills me when people ruin a piece by hiding the wood, rather than taking the little extra time it would take to bring out the grain and make it truly beautiful.
💯
I was waiting for the paint hoping it wasn’t coming 😔
No one cares omfg you people are always bitching about wood 😭 not everyone likes or wants it
Wow, I'm gobsmacked that some people can't appreciate the talent this woman has for MAKING OVER a piece of furniture.
Obviously she's a furniture flipper so why were you watching ?
So sick of people ruining beautiful old things 😡
All ive been seeing is ppl renovating old furniture they have found.. Every single one stupidly paints it. Leave the wood alone. Clean it up, seal it with stuff to keep it from wearing down, but don't paint it.. Makes it look tacky tbh
It can always be sanded or scraped off, depending on the type of paint. Then it can be re-stained and sealed. Problem solved.
Tu trabajos me parecen increíbles..pena que solo hablo en castellano.. Saludos desde Argentina
im sorry but im so tired of these little influencers ruining antique or vintage wood pieces with some dixie belle color. it's always the same damn colors.
“Little” influencer 😂
Personally I am tired of all wood. And I love wood. If The wood tones and colors are interesting-I prefer wood. But I am no purist about it. The color choices are often boring since so many use the muted greens but better than the all gray trend-blegh, Give me that dame piece in a pink maybe. I mean she did a great job on it-looks good even in the muted green ...
AMEN!!!!!
It's about a lack of respect for the past and the talent/skill that resided there. Anyone can strip and anyone can paint. But few people have enough sense to say, "Leave this piece alone."
Or, "Let's bring it back to its former glory." Then you're looking at a true artist.
For all we know, these little influencers are related to the guy who threw paint on the Mona Lisa.
Ill be glad when painting beautiful wood goes out of style
I would have kept it natural but the hardware is beautiful and they came out great!
Thank you!!!
that marbled maple is no longer available - i hate to see something so rare be hidden.
She covers up so much beautiful wood on this channel.
Is it maple? I thought it was walnut.
All that new trendy painted-wood furniture in the stores is made of cheap trashy wood, not beautiful tiger-eye oak. Your piece ended up beautiful, but now it just looks like that cheap trashy wood.
Doesn’t anyone see the value in the original , pls don’t take offense but sometimes old pieces just need cleaned and restrained, You did a nice job but I prefer the orginal
How to ruin a vintage piece in one easy video, should have restored it not painted over that beautiful stained wood
Yuppers!! Looked like red oak in the Little I saw before it was delugedwith. Another drab coat of PAINT 🎨🎨
Is it yours no so stop it’s not gonna do anything
Commode? Nice job but I'm a little confused. Not what I envisioned as a commode. Call me whatever but I thought a commode was a chair that Grandma and grandpa use. Guess I need to catch up on things a bit.
Thought so too lol
Not a commode at all. .
I hate that you are always painting on hardwood! You made it cheap. You just ruined the natural beauty of the wood. urghhhhh
im just guessing here but since she sanded the top, she wouldnt had to sand the body too but that is impossible to do with the rivets and trims of the body. second option wouldve been to attempt to match the stain again, but shed risk ruining it again due to bad colour match. third option would then be what she is confident doing, painting it, and she did a great job painting it
I mean if you've been paying attention to her home, almost everything is painted. You can't expect her to just put a random hardwood piece amongst her more "modern" furniture.. And if you don't like what she does why do you keep watching lol?
That was oak. Ahhhhh
As a historian and restorer, everyone chill the f out. Paint isn't permanent, and she is the one who bought it. The peace is still in tact, just under a layer of *NOT* *PERMANENT* paint.
Great comment. To the people directed to chill out - if you don’t have anything nice to say…….
Hate it when someone paints stunning wood !!!
It's beautiful and hopefully you can just ignore the negative comments 🤗
Being from the UK you said commode and I went that's not a toilet!! French meaning...got it! Lol!!!
Actually the French meaning comes from aristocrats using a bed side commode for what a toilet is for 😅
Also from the UK & thought exactly the same! I was expecting that the lid might lift up & there would be a hole under!! 🤔
Its beautiful but I liked more the original.
A shame you painted over the beautyful wood...
But it's not a commode
Coulda done without that sunken in or depth aged look..
I swear this color is gonna be sooo dated in just a few years just like those beige 90's buildings
By then it will probably need to be repainted anyway and we’ll all be sick of it.
Oh great, Another green piece. Too bad you didn’t showcase the gorgeous wood it was made out of.
Lol it seems like dyiers only like green nowadays
