Came out really nice! That was a lot of work! But removing those chunky pieces really made it a one of a kind piece. And you did exactly what your client wanted. And if she’s happy then that’s all that matters.
I use a kitchen silicon spatula to get all the extra paint from those the containers, that way I use all and clean the container at the same time😊.The dresser came out gorgeous!,🎉❤❤❤
For all of you wood purists try not to stress too much. First of all paint is not permanent and secondly the piece got a more modern update. At least it is still someone’s home and not in a landfill and the new owners love it
Love your channel. Been watching since you were teaching and flipping. Was wondering if you'll do a vlog with updates on the shop, life, etc? I was really invested when you did the series on getting the shop ready but haven't heard much about it in a long time 😊
thanks for being such a long time supporter! There will be an update video soon-ish (: lots of changes happening that I'm not quite ready to share yet but I will when the time is right! As far as the store goes, it hasn't been open since May due to having someone crash into the front door/window area so its been a construction zone for quite awhile now. There's still a lot of clean up to be done! Thanks for your comment, hope this is a good update for now (:
I have never been able to argue with the results... It looks fantastic. But my innards tell me it was sad to remove half the character of the cabinet. I'd like to see what you could have done with it without removing the detailed doors D-:
I just started watching you and I really enjoy it. I watched your video on using Ovation Plus for painting wood furniture black - and now I can’t find it! Anyway, I’m going to try it on my spare bedroom set. It’s a 40’s maple wood set including men’s and ladies dressers, head and foot board and side rails, and a small night stand. Would 1 court of the Ovation Plus to do the whole set or should I get 2 (or more)?
Why do you use bondo? I’ve never heard of that with furniture and your the first person I’ve come across to use it. Also you break down part of the costs but it would be nice if you let people know how much your hourly wage is when working on these and how you figure out your final pricing? I’ve seen others do this and it’s very helpful when figuring out our own costs when doing this. Thanks
It’s beautiful Lauren! I was hoping you would make a MCM base and stain it to match the wood details. You’ve made some great bases in the past. This is a lovely piece.
Very nice, so much work but worth it. To be really honest, I really liked the original piece including the colour. I don't know why but it just spoke to me, and I think I might have changed the bottom front so I could add feet of some kind. That said, I'm not your client and I'm sure she is very delighted. 😅
Your transformation created a stunning piece. You did what the buyer wanted and that's what counts. In your final photo, you have 2 framed accessory pieces on the top of it. I can't tell much more as to what the materials are, etc. Are they for sale or ? It looks like they could be on a mirrored surface but that's just what my eyes see, and the vision isn't so great. What I really like are the drawings. Can you tell me more.. thanks!

Love this transformation from the old chunky look to the new streamline look! Fab job! ❤
Yes! Thank you!😊
I’m glad you took off some of the molding.
Loren-you are looking really blonde & cute! Love the yellow and blue tops. Your creations are always explained and crafted well!
Very cool 😎
You seem energised. It’s good to see you enjoying your work ❤
Always enjoy being in on your creative process. Your problem solving skills are remarkable. Great video as always.
I appreciate that
Haven't seen you in awhile. You've slimmed down...looking good!
thanks! I've been here! working hard to take better care of myself (:

That's a great idea! I may have to steal it! thanks!
Excellent job, but I really loved the original look on the doors.
Fantastic work Lauren! Well done!
I love this. I would have it in my home. It might be a tad expensive to send it to the U.K. HAHA.
lol maybe a tad!
Elegant. You made a good set of judgements together.
It turned out lovely. I'm impressed with your ability to reimagine furniture design.
Thank you! 😊
looks awesome! It would also look fabulous adding the 'DIY Wife' MCM bases to this piece. ! great work!
As long as the client is happy
You're VERY talented! This looks GREAT!!
It’s beautiful Lauren! What a great piece of furniture! 🥰🥰
thank you!
Such a creative style, you should be proud and your client should be pleased. Thinking of you.
Removing the trim on this piece was a smart move! It turned out SHARP!! Absolutely love it!!
Yes! Thank you!
Great job as always! I know your client will be very happy. 😊
she will! thanks!
It turned out stunningly beautiful! Well done🎉. 💞
I love the look of this piece - and it looks like it was made to hold LPs, if LPs had been invented this century. ❤
Hi from 🌞Florida! Love it 🫶🖤~ Michelle ❤ Lauren, you look beautiful & your braids are lovely!
Thank you so much!! appreciate the support!
Beautiful beautiful beautiful! I love it!
Great job, Lauren! ❤
That turned out gorgeous!

Great point.
Love it great that you left the wood accent just wonder why so many like the colour black when it shows dust so easily. Great job as usual kid! ❤️
That's what I like about black. I can see the dust, so I sweep it up. I don't want to not see dust because then I'm breathing it.
I love your work
Its really cool that this will hold record because the front looks like piano keys. Great job!
🎉one of my favorite pieces that you’ve done🎉
thanks! i love how it turned out too!
That turned out really really nice 😊
I think I would have liked it more with a deep dark black, maybe even a semi gloss to match the wood better. Fantastic job - so beautiful!
I really like it! Love your braids too, lol. You two have a blessed day.
Thank you so much 🤗
Looks fantastic 💕
Wow! The after is beautiful!!
thank you!
That’s awesome ❤
Love your French braids!❤awesome work!
Thank you! Cheers!
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher very welcome salute!
I really love the cabinet!!!!
thank you!

@@FurnitureFlippingTeacherof course!! Thank you for the response and sharing. Sending positive vibes from Cali 🤗
I loved the pieces you removed
Great work!
So gorgeous 😍
I love it ❤ !! Your client will enjoy this piece so much !! Great job 👍
I hope so!
It did turn beautifully. But I agree with some other follower that I think the rectangles on the doors should have been left.❤
😊 thanks couldve looked great with or without
Wow!❤❤❤❤
It came out great, awesome profit!
Thanks so much!

Do you do antique dressers?
Can you show how you do an oak antique dresser?
I think it looks beautiful but I do agree. That midcentury modern design had me falling in love. I wouldn't have removed half of it.
I agree. I'm sad.
But the customer wanted it removed so there’s that😊
Love it.
Ok thanks for that I was debating buying the home right. In your experience does either one do better for spraying water based polyurethane?
Absolutely Gorgeous!!❤❤❤
As a lover of Mid-Century Modern furniture, I’m a little sad that you removed all detail from the doors. But it still looks really nice.
Beautiful!
That's gorgeous!!
thanks so much!

Hello from Louisiana. Great job Lauren.
thank you!
Awesome 🎉
Heating the glue slightly usually makes it release much easier.
@@nancysalyer8174 great tip! You could use a hairdryer.
It’s beautiful Lauren! I was hoping you would make a MCM base and stain it to match the wood details. You’ve made some great bases in the past. This is a lovely piece.
thank you!! im planning a new base in an upcoming video! this client didnt want any base added 😊 thanks for watching!
Beautiful
Nice, how long do you let it cure before you pass it along to the client?
Gorgeous!
Thank you! 😊
Looks great 🎉
Very beautiful!🥰🇨🇦
Gorgeous!!! Love it.
Do you ever get paint or Bondo in your hair? 😄
yes, yes i do !
Love it !
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
First! Great job!
thank you!

AWESOME❣️
Thanks 🤗
For the future...Spray vinegar at the joins, works a treat
Do you do consulting? I have a piece I want to redo but I’m scared and would like ideas of what to do. This one is awesome.
Does that home right sprayer leave a better finish than a Wagner 3500?
I would say they’re pretty comparable!
Your transformation created a stunning piece. You did what the buyer wanted and that's what counts. In your final photo, you have 2 framed accessory pieces on the top of it.

thank you! I got those pieces at Hobby Lobby a year or 2 ago!
Thanks. Is there any other info on the backs, like a label or item #?
What a shame removing but thats what buyer wanted.☹️
Vinyl!
@FurnitureFlippingTeacher thanks for the lesson. Overall it's good but that mat black looks unfinished. You have to go with what the client wants.
When you took those outer pieces off , could you have tried to dissolve the glue with WD40 just a thought……..
I thought it was a *Hersheys chocolate Bar* 🍫
😊😊
Would have looked better if all the peices were left on it and everything sprayed the same colour. Still looks good though!
That looks very nice. Prayers 🙏 and Love 🤟 From Ginger
Thank you!
Did you say $40 in primer? That sounds way expensive.
I messed up and bought spray BIN shellac which cost $15 a can 🤪 regretted that haha
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! it turned out fine, but it would have looked better with ordinal detail, just my opinion.
i think it would've looked great either way! (:
Agreed
