    New subscriber, LOVING your content so much. I have been collecting antiques, refinishing furniture, renovating, building homes for > 40 years… you remind me of myself in many ways. Love how this turned out… for me, I would have also painted the rear of it as well (always do this). This way, if someone wants to ‘Float’ the item in a room vs. having it against a wall sofa table / in a booth) it will look finished 360degrees

    Looks gorgeous, great job. Colour and the right gold pulls are perfect. Just a suggestion... i would sand the sides of the drawers to make it look more finished. Not sure if you mentioned that during the video since i sorta skipped through a bunch. In my defense, I'm on break. New subscriber here too. ❤

    Loved this video. I've been watching furniture makeover videos to help figure out how to refinish two large French provincial lamp tables I inherited from Mom. Not my style at all, but they're family pieces. They're very curvy all over and have the original wood stain finish. I'm nervous about painting them, but it's the only way I can actually like having them in my home. I can't afford all the great equipment you use, but at least I'm getting ideas of how to begin. And I am a complete beginner with this stuff. Gulp... 😬

  • @AngieWilliamsDesigns
    @AngieWilliamsDesigns 20 дней назад

    great color for this piece. Looks great.
    General Finishes is amazing. Sprays great and all their products are great. I use their Arm-R-Seal on wood. Especially hardwoods. It protects so well. I did finish work at a high end table shop. That's what they used. We sanded our table tops 120, then 180 and three coats of arm r seal. We also had a wine bar that we completely built out. That stuff held up against customer abuse and I was sold forever.

    • @flippedbyabby
      @flippedbyabby  18 дней назад +1

      I will definitely be using this product again! Especially for natural wood finishes

    P.S. I use Melange and General Finishes, also. I LOVE the GF topcoats! I usually mix a bit (up to 10% by the directions, but who knows how much that actually is 😂) into my dark paint when top coating.

    You did a great job, but it seems like you would have to live in a pretty high-end location to get $650 for a used dresser. Everywhere we have lived, I would have a hard time getting even $200 for it. That's the thing I never understand about furniture flippers, is how they find people to pay those high prices.
