I have a piece just like this. Vintage from family. I would not change it . Guest always remark about how beautiful it is. But that’s just my feelings. I hope you enjoy your new finished piece. TFS
I bought one just like this at our Habitat store over a year ago. I just started painting it, but then got a 12 drawer dresser, nightstand and mirror to finish for a customer. Thanks for sharing your client invoice example with me. It was a big help. I can't wait to get back to my secretary. I'm keeping it too! Happy Birthday.
Man, that is such a rad and unique peice of furniture. This is the sad part of "refinishing" when it changes something with so much character into just a random peice you would find in pier one.
i must confess that i love this piece in its original color and with all ornaments, but you did (as always) a great job. Now it could fits in everyone´s house
I really like what you did. It was a copy of an antique rather than a real antique so fair game in my book. Plus better to be improved and used than original and forgotten. Good job! 😊
I enjoyed hearing your thoughts about what you added and what you took away. This piece looks so fresh and will be used and loved because you made it suit your taste and needs. 😊
So happy to see the removal of the crown, This is what I'll be doing w. A hutch I recently obtained. You just gave me the nod I am in the right direction.
Personally, I think your redo is beautiful. The dark heavy wood before reminds me of the stuffy living rooms of some of my family members - you know, the living rooms that no one really “lives” in. I know some folks think painting wood is sacrilege, my late father felt that way - But, I say let a piece of furniture work for YOUR taste and don’t preserve it out of obligation to the past.
Stunning transformation! I wish I had known these techniques before practically giving away all my older red-stained (but beautiful) furniture a few years ago! Happy Birthday to YOU, too!
I love this! I have had the honor of carting my mother's hutch for years. I was glad to have the legacy left to me....but it was never my taste. I am about to paint it....generations to come may strip it and stain it back. But I won't be there to see. It is your home, you get to decorate it any way you want. I think you did a great job.❤
I know these were mass-produced. I just rescued one from the bulk trash area at an apartment. It even had the skeleton key with a pretty tassel to keep it from getting lost. The bones on these are great! Nice heavy piece. Ballard designs has a knockoff version closer to your makeover in robin egg blue for over 3k. Yours turned out lovely and way better than 3.5K.
I have the same secretary, inherited, but too formal for my taste. I was attempting to sell it, but now after watching what you did, I want to paint it too. Thank you for the inspiration.
Happy Birthday, Christina! Thank you for the content and entertainment you bring us all every week! I hope you get to take some time and enjoy your birthday 🥳🥳
I think it looks so much better without the pieces over the glass. That was a good call. It still looks vintage on the bottom and yet modernized on the top. Nice job.
🏖Hi from France! Happy birthday! 🎂🍾 My mother's one is on the 4th and mine on the 5th october like my best friend too... That is a lot of candles!...🙂Anyway... Patience and dexterity and the result is still stunning! Bravo.👍 Thanks for the sharing. Arnaud⛵
The top had so much character... It was a beautiful piece BEFORE... It simply needed to be restored.
It didn't even look like it need much repair. Heart breaking.
No No.....This One You Restore....Beautiful Secretary
It was.
@@maylast8352it was ruined.
You do amazing work! It's yours..you bought it! Do whatever you want to it!!

VERY elegant!
Excellent job on the foot
I like everything you did.
Beautiful so match👍👍👍
my heart sank in when you pulled off the wood from the glass T.T
Secretaries are making a comeback? I know I know o love them
Well, I loved the transformation. It looks great.
Stunning.
Beautiful, great job
This looks great.
Great work with the bondo on the foot
I love it. Taking the wood off of the windows made a beautiful difference
beautiful
I loved all the elements that you removed ... It looks like something you can buy at IKEA now
I love how you modernized this! I never would think to do that! I love this transformation!
You are amazing!!

It’s beautiful.
So beautiful ❤
You did an amazing job.
Cute, cute, cute!
Man, that is such a rad and unique peice of furniture. This is the sad part of "refinishing" when it changes something with so much character into just a random peice you would find in pier one.
This color is just beeeeeaautiful. Green speaks of "life!", But these more muted shades speak of peace and calm. A great mix.
i must confess that i love this piece in its original color and with all ornaments, but you did (as always) a great job. Now it could fits in everyone´s house
That’s cute, thanks for sharing.
It was much better before , now it's so normal !
Turned Amazing!!!! Even though it’s 4 to 5 months later happy birthday Cristina
Christina!!!
Happy Birthday! Mine is the 14th! Enjoy your day! Week! Month!
I really like what you did. It was a copy of an antique rather than a real antique so fair game in my book. Plus better to be improved and used than original and forgotten. Good job! 😊
Perfect, love your videos
Love the color
Stunning
That's beautiful . It looks a lot better without the top piece. Hope you had a great birthday.
Thank you! 🤗
It's so light and airy and modern! Gorgeous. Looks great!

Very nicely done
Happy Birthday!!! It’s beautiful !

Stupendo....Bravissima 🌹
I love how this turned out. It’s very pretty.
Very beautiful
Hyee, actually i like your style painting,and I like your video, because your video not boring..I like it.
Beautiful result! i like that you took off the inlay and the top. Looks so much better.....modern and classy.
So happy to see the removal of the crown, This is what I'll be doing w. A hutch I recently obtained. You just gave me the nod I am in the right direction.
I love that you took off the grid things on the glass. Looks so clean and fresh
There's no point in buying something like that. Should have been left to someone who would have appreciated the details.
That color is totally amazing.
Whew you did that. Yes ma'am. Happy Birthday and beautiful piece.
Very nice...beautifully done. Happy 40th Birthday!!! Enjoy celebrating. God bless and keep you. 🙏🏽✝️❤️
Don't sweat 40, I've been watching you for a few years and you look great better than ever, whatever your doing, stick with it.

I love that you removed the pediment and painted it. New life for an old beat up piece.😁

Absolutely 🤣

Happy birthday to you from CapeTown South Africa. Beautiful. Sometimes keeping it simple makes a bigger statement.
Happy 40th Birthday 🎂🥳!!!!
Gorgeous makeover, love the color 😍
It's so light now. I love it! It had such a heavy feel before.
I have always wanted a secretary. Love the color!
Happy Birthday! 40 looks beautiful on you!

That is awesome! I'm going to check it out!
Beautiful! Awesome job Christina!
Happy birthday! That is how I like spending mine, too. Doing things I enjoy.
I have the same secretary, inherited, but too formal for my taste. I was attempting to sell it, but now after watching what you did, I want to paint it too. Thank you for the inspiration.
It’s beautiful! Enjoy your break!!
