REMOVING LEAD PAINT || Desk Makeover- Furniture Flip Collab- UGLY DUCKLING CHALLENGE
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 авг 2021
- This video is my contribution to @DesertDIY 's collaboration, "The Ugly Duckling Challenge"! Our mission was to find the most hideous piece of furniture we could, and try to salvage it. I do that on a daily basis, so finding "the one" was difficult, (as I couldn't re-use footage from other flips) but I had this sad little desk in my storage room that I'd been avoiding, and decided it was finally time to tackle it.
PLAYLIST with all the other participants!
• Ugly Duckling Challeng...
This piece was a challenge, alright. I had issues with the humidity and my paint and topcoat drying, found lead paint on the drawer, which I opted to remove in case an owner down the road tried to sand it off not knowing it was lead (due diligence).
In the end.. I'm not sure if I ended up with a swan... more like a fancy chicken, but I'm happy that it's SAVED from a landfill and has a new life. I could totally see this in a teen's bedroom for some reason! I wasn't suuuuper happy with the two tone paint, but after all the headache of doing this flip, I was NOT repainting it. haha And it's one of those things where the more I look at it, the more I DO like it. :-)

I would NOT have believed that piece of garbage could turn into something so amazing. You are an artist, no question.
Thanks for watching!
I'm a retired Painter and Decorator from UK, and thanks to your video's I've found myself a new Hobby, THANKS, your work is brilliant..👍
I'm an armchair viewer who, except for cleaning a thrifted piece, does no furniture flipping sanding, staining and paint work, and have huge admiration for your work. You deserve even greater admiration for this piece. She looks fabulous!
I tried a tiny nightstand. It looks on RUclips easier as it is in real life. The more I admire the results shown here and in other channels.
I AGREE!!
Great job, you really had your work cut out for you!
Again, during this restoration, I thought the combination would never work. Yet to my surprise it does, and exceedingly well. Truly a beautiful swan. Thank you for sharing.
You're very welcome! 😊
Hi Angie, I'm shaking my head watching your reveal. I've been on this planet over 65 years now, most spent creating in multiple mediums, and you always surprise me. I know it's not just skill, there is a lot of love that I'm looking at here. You are some kind of special young lady!!! This might be my fave to date. Whenever I create something, I always take a few moments to state my intentions for the new owner. Your intentions are crystal clear at first glance! Well done...🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Glad you talked about lead paint. Always surprised it doesn’t come up in older furniture renovations. This is an amazing refinish. Wow.
I'm sure this piece didn't look this great when it was first made. I don't know what possessed you to paint it two-tone, but I'm glad you did! So glad this ended up in your hands.
That poor desk had one foot in the grave. Then you came along and brought it back to life and gave it a much needed face lift. I'd say it's a winner. Most of all it gets to live on!
Thank you very much!
This poor baby was made made from bits and bobs. What a transformation!💖 What you did to the top was amazing.
So essentially you found the Canadian Goose version of a piece of furniture, bad tempered and hard to deal with, and managed to change it into something fantastic!! Great job!!
"swan is a stretch"-made me laugh. This was quite the challenge. My grandfather made my sister and me desks kind of like this, but instead of drawers, there was a two-tiered cabinet with a door. Ours were made of solid wood, and each was mounted to the studs in our bedrooms. Love those custom paint colors!
Memories of Grandpa...my Mom's father was always building something out of nothing...recycling used plywood into a desk would be right up his alley. And muliple shades of paint inside a peice never bothered him. You transformation is stunning and thank you for educating your viewers about lead dangers.
Wow. You truly turned an ugly duckling into a, uh, an attractive duckling. I thought anything other than paint for the top was a waste of time and effort, but no--you elevated it and the whole piece to something worthy and useful. Goes to show that one can have a nice place on a very low budget through effort and skill.
Everyone's ducklings turned into swans but girl, this went eagle. I was happy to see you save some of the rich wood grain of the top!! Anyone who can take that thing and turn it into awesome wins in my book.
Haha , aww thank you so much!
That is 1000% better. It was REALLY ugly before, now it's a cute little contemporary desk. Great work. I also appreciated the lesson on dealing with lead. ❤
I'm glad I can help! 😀
Angie, you did it again!!! That desk should have been in a garbage pile and you saved it. AMAZING!!!
Thanks so much for watching Connie!
I think you did a completely amazing job! It’s really reassuring to see folx coming up against challenges like your weather situation, & explaining the troubleshooting instead of glossing over it. I LOVE the paint & the way it sets off the wood. You should be super proud!
Ok, I will agree with you that it’s not a swan. However, it is absolutely a gorgeous BLUEBIRD. 💙💙💙💙
The two toned painting saves this from average beautiful to excellent. Angie's Excellent Adventure, let it be known . Thank you
That is an impressive transformation!! AND - who doesn't like a bunny break??!!
I thought I would prefer it painted in one color, but after seeing it, it's clear to me that the two-toned look elevates the elegance of the piece. Painted one color would look nice but would be indistinguishable from a million other desks. Nice work, as usual. I love how the top turned out.
Thanks so much for watching!
As a auto body repair guy, I would recommend trying something called a finishing glaze to do large areas like that. There are several ones, metal glaze and blaze glaze are my favorite. They go on super smooth as they are very thin compared to filler and the sand ability is much better. Spreads much smoother as well.
Sweet- I’ll check it out!
Does it work on wood?
@@traceylawrance5346 it would. It will go on silky smooth. It is a little more costly than just body filler, but for large areas that don't have to be super thick it would be hard to beat.
I have no idea how you lug all these pieces. I have tried to go out with my son and pick up a few pieces. The pick up alone is exhausting me. Haha. Then the time to deliver. I commend you. I think I am going to unload what I have an stop. Haha
Another great job! Do you typically need a primer with fusion? I didn’t use a primer on my mid century mod credenza and there was a little piece that peeled.
What is so amazing about this, is that you took a POS that most would use as fire wood and made it amazing instead with time and patience.
What are you talking about? The desk (ugly duckling) is definitely a beautiful swan. Absolutely stunning!
Holy cow, I would have used that desk for firewood, no way could I have imagined how awesome it looks now. Really impressed how great that veneer top turned out, when I saw how many holes you were filling I figured you'd have to paint it.
Yeah, it’s not *perfect* but looks soooo much better than I initially thought it would with all that damage .
The part with lead paint wouldn't even have been good firewood!
The top of that desk is gorgeous! The filler doesn't show at all. You chose the perfect stain, and the multiple finishes gave it grain incredible depth. 👏 👏👏👏
That was originally the strangest combination of woods that the "builder"/"carpenter" turned into a desk. Then who painted part of a drawer with lead paint--a horrible green lead paint to boot? The top and legs saved the day. You have guts to take that on. And so much effort transformed it. I wonder who bought it.
Before the putty: 50 years ago we would first apply a very very thin seal coat of varnish to seal the wood project this would bring out the true color of the wood. then the wood filler wood be applied to match the true color of the grain of the wood; after that we would add additional seal coats of varnish to finish the project.
My first thought was that this desk was suitable for kindling, but once again, you've done your magic and transformed it into a beauty! Also, the little bunnies had me squealing :-) I'm a bunny mama as well, so they have a huge place in my heart. Thank you for fostering the little munchkins.
I'm a bunny mom
Never had so much fun in my life as I do with my bunnies
I also restore furniture and I love turning something in to a piece of beauty
Angie, when you voice your doubt about the outcome of a piece, I have total faith in you that it will be another remarkable surprise to us all!
Enjoying yet another amazing overhaul and then *SURPRISE BUNNIES* make their appearance! 10/10 would recommend. 😁😁😁
The two-tone paint is really hard to do well. Getting straight lines with your masking was really important. The top…if we hadn’t seen you do the repairs, I don’t think we would have seen them in the finished product. The glow on the top is sweet! You really picked a tough one this time, and you nailed it as usual!
WOOHOO!!! She turned into a Swan right before my eyes🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢 really truly turned out beautifully 😍😍😍😍😍
Wow, Frankin-desk! Yes, did look homemade. Good call on your part to test that paint, to save your lungs and environment. As usual, you did a great job, especially considering what you had to work with. Have a great week!🙂👍
Give credit where credit is due... From kindling to a beauty. We all know what you do is always amazing. You are also a great teacher.
Not only saved from landfill, but it's really beautiful now! The contrasting colours and wood look great.
Foster bunnies! Awwww! (Lovely result on the desk--almost a miracle!)
That turned out really nice. I think it looks like a swan.
I wouldn't call this an ugly duckling. It's closer to being something run over by a Mac truck that even a dog wouldn't roll in... except it's not flat! A beautiful Cinderella piece, I love it!! 💖🥰🙌
The ruler/tape method was a revelation! You saved yourself so much time. I’d have been there all day with a pencil and calculations and triple checking 😂 Beautiful transformation!
Thank you so much! 🙂
Are freaking kidding me!!!! That was Awesome
You really just amaze me Angie. You are an absolute gift to the refurbished furniture world! And it’s a blessing that I get to watch you work your magic. And I DO realize that it’s some HARD work! You are fantastic! And this piece turned out fantastic!!
You are a true artist! Your vision for your pieces is spot on. I am an interior designer and love what you do with these unloved pieces to bring them back to life. I appreciate being able to watch you work your magic!!!!
Thank you so much Linda! 😊
That desk is beneath an Ugly Duckling, but the completed project is definitely a swan!
Congrats! Another restored beauty. I like the two-tone paint scheme. Nice commentary, too. Glad you included the top sealer problem, as it shows other refinishers that everthying doesn't always work and you have to make a correction.
It was such a struggle- the humidity just ruined all my plans hahah :-) I was happier in the end with the new finish anyway though!
This is so refreshing to find a younger person who tries to save the quality wood finishes, instead of buying a decent piece of furniture and destroying it with a shabby chic paint treatement product that requires no skill. You have SKILLS, and I applaud your efforts.
I presume that folks in Nova Scotia are similar to those in my part of Texas, when assessing this piece of furniture. My grandfather was retired house builder, and he built furniture for his grand children, so no fancy finishes, or veneers; no high dollar hardwood. Your piece looks very similar to what my grandfather did for his grand children.... with the exception of repurposing that piece of plywood with the lead paint. That was from something else, but they needed the wood to finish the desk. The 'pretty' desk top, might have been repurposed from another piece of furniture. I think this was meant to be a utilitarian piece of furniture that 'company' or visitors would never see... like a basement or a child's room.
This was done by a treasured family member, but it was not their best work, which is why they chose to give the piece away, instead of burning it in the winter stove. Thank you, for making so much out of this little piece.
I mean really- that’s incredible from where it started. The top is absolutely stunning.
This piece is definitely an ugly duckling. Its definitely a combination of 2 projects. That top came off a different piece and the base is made of someone's scrap pile. That being said the joinery is pretty good. The person that made it knew how to make a good box. And join the wood together properly. You have done a wonderful job in giving this piece a new life.
Love your foster bunnies, Angie. They are so cute, and you are so wonderful for taking care of them. God Bless You!
Thank you so much!🐰🐰
Your little furry friends are so precious. Fantastic results. Well done!
Without a doubt, so far this has been one of the biggest challenges I've seen yet. Not only was it ugly, but it was obviously made of cheap material. I did not think you were going to be able to salvage the top. Kudos on an excellent job doing just that and it turned out beautifully. Also you kept the design simple, and since the lines were plain also, your choice worked out very well as a finished look. Now all you need is a cute "matching" chair to go with it.
Your finial product of the desk is very gorgeous. I enjoy watching your restorations a lot. Your pieces are so beautiful when you get done them. Thank you for your efforts of keeping large pieces of furniture out of the landfills. Have an awesome day.
I don't mean this comment in any way but, a positive way. Not taking away from any of your creativity but, the part if the videos I enjoy the most is your staging shots at the end. IMO it's done the best out of all the furniture flippers I watch. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
I don't usually comment on videos, but I just had to say something about this one. In the words of my sweet grandma, "I've never seen anything like this in all my born days!" 😂 You gave this desk the Cinderella treatment! Like others, I knew this desk was just fit for the trash, but here you are, proving us all wrong! I'm always amazed by your awesome work. Great job as always!
Not only you have the skills but an exquisite taste to design the colors and finish of the furniture.
WOW!! I agree with the firewood comment! Once again, you’ve taken a FUBAR piece, and made it beautiful!!
Looks wonderful! Just a suggestion: attach 4 chair mounting brackets to the top of a rectangular scrap board. Then you can screw the legs on so they are easy to paint or stain and you won’t need to handle them much and they can stick up in the air to dry. So helpful.
Excellent idea!
Never thought of that either. What a great idea. Thanks
I stick mine in sturdy cardboard boxes(check out industrial and restaurant food boxes especially fresh veg and meat boxes) upside down until dry!
That’s just insane. I can’t believe that’s the same desk!!! As usual, amazing work. And thank you for the bunnies 🥰
I was thinking no way can this have such a beautiful outcome, but you got me on this one! There is no ugly duckly that you can't swanify.
You do such a lovely job. Even 'ugly ducklings' get a 2nd chance at life!
The whole piece is gorgeous. The top is especially beautiful, the two-toned paint job is very artistic and the legs you chose are just right for the desk. Bravo!
I love the 2 different paint colors. It adds interest! Great job! That was a huge challenge!
It is adorable. The two tone was the perfect option! Looked very Nautica. Blues wood gold....⛵❤️👍🏾
You really worked your magic on the top to the desk. So, so much better!
Wow! What a change! Not an ugly ducking anymore, that's for sure.
Whatever the opposite of a trigger warning is, I needed it because I felt fully ambushed by the ADORABLE BABY BUNNIES. I screamed.
Hahahaha!! ❤️
I had to laugh when I saw how much Bondo you mixed up. I was saying to myself I hope she works fast to get that applied. Knowing how quickly that stuff will setup and not spread smoothly onto the project.
BUNNIES!!!!
Wow! I can’t believe what you did with that piece of junk! The top is beautiful and the two tone looks great for the little desk.
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Wow,that wasn't a ugly ducking,it was a wreck.You made it beautiful
You underestimate your abilities. This piece is nothing short of a miracle! 😍
🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 68 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 ❤️ ❤️
I learn something valuable from every video I watch.
You nailed it! From what I’ve watched….WINNER!
Foster 👏bunny 👏 intermission! 👏❤️❤️❤️
The plywood was definitely crap starting out, but you did a great job salvaging it. The top has a lot of character. Good job!
I found a 1950's sewing machine cabinet, very similar to this desk, in better conditions, and this video is a perfect inspiration for its remake. Thank you very much
Dear Angie, your talent is beyond amazing!
Wow! Great transformation! Great to see a desk saved from the trash.
It started as an Ugly Duckling but you totally turned it around. It is beautiful
I would say that is a swan. It isn't perfect but that is part of it's charm. It's reclaimed. It has history. Hell I would market the before pics to show how amazing the difference is.
Wow!!!! This is stunning, yet again you have smashed this one out the park. I can’t believe it’s the same desk. 😍
Oh I don't know if swan is as much of a stretch as you think. This piece isn't just transformed in the outside, you gave it structural integrity doing this makeover! Beautiful! And regardless, you had me at bunnies 🤗
Aww thank you :-)
I love a good mini-lop intermission!! So much cuteness in such little bunny bodies! 💜
Hi! Mrs Angie. You are now my brand new! Queen baddie! Your fan from Philly. Loves everything you do. Queen boss! Thank you. For sharing your videos. 😘🤩😍😇👍👑⭐🤗💖😁☕🍷👏👏👏
I like your choice of colors. It gives it a nautical feel, boating or naval branch of the military vibe. I could definitely see it in the captain's quarter of a sailing vessel.
Love the bold colour blocking, suits the masculine vibe I get from this desk!
Fantastic job. Thanks for sharing the bunnies 🐰🥰
You never cease to amaze me...u and "Lemons to Lemonade" the best thus far
It looks amazing and has a very masculine vibe. Would go great for a young man’s room.
Who are you kidding??
This is definately a swan!😊
I would say that was a swan after what you had to start. That’s a nice looking desk.
This is my third time watching this video. It is one of my favourites because the change is mind blowing. I wouldn’t mind seeing more of these ugly makeovers. You did wonders with it. That and I like watching desks in particular getting overhauled for some reason.
The two-tone looks really cool! I'd never get any work done if I had a fluffle of bunnies!
It's hard knowing they're close by!!
Wow. It doesn’t even look like the same piece of furniture. Bravo.
The wood is just beautiful. You really did a fine job transforming this desk. I think one color would have been better, but then I'm just one gal. Well done.
So glad you hung in there and finished the piece!It really did turn out beautifully!
This desk looks so cool! I love that you revealed your oops with the stain. Even people who know what they are doing sometimes have problems arise. Great job taking a dump desk and turning it into a trendy workstation!
WOW! What a transformation!!!!
Turned out great!!! Loved the bunnies!
Oh wow…you under estimate what you did for this piece and the earth…love it…your artistic skills always shine through your pieces…
