I love how you showed your mistakes and then how to fix them. It's extremely helpful to know that not everyone is an expert at first. The dresser came out awesome! Thank you for the video. A definite inspiration
I have been restoring and painting furniture for over 40 years. I look at some of the pieces I did back then and cringe! I think you did really well for not having much experience. Everyone has to learn and the only way to do that is by practicing and gaining experience. I still learn new things by watching your videos.
Is always fun to look at past projects and see how much progress one has made. It turned out awesome!
This is the best idea for a video, Amy! Thanks for sharing some of your former mistakes. None of us start out knowing everything. This job comes with learning and, now as a pro, you brought this piece back to life! Love it! And congrats on 60k 🥳💃🥳💃
Amy this is a beautiful makeover. Thank you for making this video. It's so refreshing to see information shared like this. I appreciate you.
Thank you🥰
This is GORGEOUS!!!! I am so going to recreate this. Spraying changes everything. LOL
Amy this dresser is so sleek. I started watching before dinner and just finished. Loved all the tips. I’m keen to try that sprayer for top coats! You did a fantastic job
Thanks Sarah! I love the sprayer for topcoat!
Oh I love how this turned out! So chic and elegant. I think back to my early pieces and I’m kinda embarrassed that I sold them with many imperfections - just things I didn’t know at the time. I appreciate you showing these early mistakes. Other than the feet, I’ve done them all.
I find that Wise Owl furniture salve works great on drawer slides, especially wood on wood. Smells amazing too!!
Wow! What a transformation! It looks like a completely different piece of furniture!
It was nice to see you remake your own piece. One thing that caught my eye - you checked the drawer glides inside the dresser for issues, and shaved them down, but you didn't address the cause of the damage. You only gave us a quick peek of the one metal drawer slide, but it looked bent, which would cause that kind of damage. If you don't fix that, it's just going to keep damaging the wooden slide. In the battle of wood vs metal, the metal will win.
I definitely liked the look of the remake better than the original. The black feels much more timeless.
Hi Kira! I explained that the width on the wooden glide went from wide to narrow about 3/4 the way down and that’s why they were sticking. Since I shaved it down the rest of the way they should be fine.
I agree though metal and wood don’t mix in the first place.
The general rule for sanding is to only go up by no more than half the current number. So if you start at 100 grit, next one s/b no higher than 150, next one no higher than 220 etc.. of course can use lower grits, but no higher to optimise sanding with less swirls. You should not put pressure on any sander (which of course we all do) but it can cause a lot of problems such as dips and bad swirls. Great video for newbies.
That piece turned out so lovely. I love the black, it always looks very classy. I also loved what you did to the bottom. It’s more modern looking. Considering what new furniture costs today, you can get a new look for a fraction of the cost, it’s a win, win. I love how you show that making mistakes is part of life, fix it and move on. You seem like a very sweet person. Thanks for sharing.
Amy, you are so real!!! I just love you and your work!! Thank you doll!
Made all the mistakes you have , even now , this transformed lovely , all great products
That is so beautiful. Thank you for showing us the mistakes you made. I have been flipping for a year now and my first piece was kind of like this.
A little candlewax would do real good those slides
Thank you for showing how to fix common mistakes-its a great help when working on a tight budget & I can't afford to make costly mistakes! 👏👏
Use a piece of cardboard for your initial setup on your sprayer super quick and easy to adjust spray pattern without risking a mess up on the actual piece of furniture
Thank you for teaching as you go. I appreciate your calm, factual presentation. I think I have learned the most from your videos. Thank you!
Thank you!😊
trimming the bottom made such a huge difference
Amy I love the feel of this video!!!!
Thanks! I was trying not to do so much voice over. I think it’s easier for me to talk when I’m outside because it’s so noisy inside my house 😂
I have that same paint sprayer, and it says in the instructions to us a practice board for each piece, to find what works for you. I find it goes really fast, and easy, but it's a different experience for everyone. I haven't ever had my paint dry as I'm painting, though. Maybe it's the paint you used. I've only used Fusion Mineral Paint so far, but am wanting to try the Dixie Belle, as well as, Wise Owl. There's so many to choose from! The RUclips channel, Born in a Barn Boutique, uses the HomeRight paint sprayer in her videos, and she has some great tips!
Thank you so much For the tips! There really are so many options😊I tried Mint by Michelle mineral paint in the sprayer the other day and it worked like a dream! I will go and subscribe to the born in a barn boutique channel right now. Thanks again!
Absolutely gorgeous! You won’t have any problem selling it.
Beautiful!!!!! So beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing all the details!
Wow Amy! It’s a totally different piece now. Gorgeous work❤️

Wow I love it😊
I'm learning lots from you. Thank you.
That’s wonderful! Thank you so much for watching😊
Totally different but gorgeous!
I have that same paint sprayer and half the time I want to throw it against the wall. I spent a good amount of time on my last project on the phone with customer service, and to be fair they fixed the issue. It's just so frustrating!
I did the same! I reached out to the company and they gave me some good advice. Hopefully, my next project will go much smoother.
Amy I really enjoyed this video! It was really good information. I'm a little sprayer shy too. This turned out so sleek and beautiful❣️
Thanks LaVonne!
Fantastic! Great info!
Thanks Paula!
Very nice
Cool! I didn’t miss this. I’m about to start a dresser so this will be helpful. 💗
Thanks for being here!!
So beautifull ❤️
I love these long drawer handles. Does anyone know where I can purchase them?
beautful
Andersonville, Tennessee here!
Hi Tracey!!
Same here. I thought it would be pretty easy. Boy, was I wrong. I am having a hard time with the paint sprayer also! I have 2.
Yes!! Hopefully the more we do it. The easier it will get🤞
This is so moody and masculine! I love it!
Thanks Holly!!
Hi! Beautiful work 😍
I’m wondering if your paint sprayer works from house current or does it use compressed air?
Thank you, Judy! My paint sprayer is a plug in so no need for an air compressor.
Have you used the Silk paint with the Dixie Belle pearl glazes? I am about to use Silk nautical with sapphire blue pearl glaze for my daughter’s room and have no idea how to use the oil glaze on top of the Silk.
I haven’t but You should have no problems because the glazes are water based! I love the blue pearl😍
Love your work! Where did you find the taped plastic wrap in a roll?
Thank you! I found it at Home Depot. They had two sizes.
Mineral paint? Does she mean oil base? In the same sprayer as poly? Not clear...
Swirls are called pig tails !!! Lol I am guilty of the tails
You can reuse plastic, even the first time. Insides of cereal boxes liners, bread bags, whatever. Just make sure it's clean - a quick dunk in dishwater, then rinse, and let dry. There's no need to contribute to all the horrid plastic already in the world.
That stripper was tested on another website against other strippers, that one is the worst stripper to use. Just an FYI. That Shabby guy is the one that showed the results.
I love QCS, non-hazardous and eco-friendly. I don't even wear a mask and it doesn't bother my asthma!! Good stuff!! Works great!! 👍
