@@pancakexxpie - there are quite a few of us, actually who would conditioned the wood and left it be. Some pieces are history and deserve that respect.

@@justanotherenigma It’s WOOD not a fucking 100 year old painting by a famous artist. They’re right, if you don’t like it then re do it. But god you people have got to shut up complaining about a goddamn box 💀
@@pancakexxpie Wrong! I’d have snapped that up in a heartbeat - as would a lot of people!! These sell quickly in any antique store. How do I know? I have a couple of friends who are dealers. Of course it’s her right to do with as she wishes, but it would have been worth more before upcycling. 🤷🏼♀️
I get the idea you were going for .but I feel like this was already a beautiful piece that should’ve just been cleaned and admired in its original state
Whenever you get nice looking old boxes like this it’s always nice to get an appraiser or someone who can check the history of it! It seems old, but still in good condition, hinting at it’s true value (at least quality wise). Who knows, maybe next time you’ll find something cool about it (the value of things like this are often more when left in its original form rather than flipped, clean or not)
@@leolego2 Yes! Some antique boxes were made by famous artists. The box looked high quality and old so I thought it might be worth something, especially if it was made by a well-know artist
You’d be surprised how much an old trunk can be worth. I have a humpback trunk that’s in good condition and has all of the inserts. It’s worth much more as is!
Please stay away from antiques! 😱 I’m here for the ikea flips and the cd tower flips and such, but please please please stay away from antiques, there are so many people hunting these items down for restorations, and here you are removing the history out of them. Please use your wonderful talents towards pieces that benefit from them.
im sorry but this comment just made u look like an idiot. honestly if you have a problem with people upcycling old furniture then maybe you shouldn’t be on youtube shorts watching vids about it. besides the fact that a table like that could possibly be thrown out anyway, there’s so many reasons why someone might not have wanted it. long story short please do not make comments like that on someone else’s video. “please stay away from antiques” 😒😒😒😒😒💀
Just to let you know that what you have here is an early carpenter’s box . It was a piece that went with him on every job . It explaining the thick walls and the hand forged handle being do strong . It is sometimes the best thing to get the piece of furniture back into use . A porch table is good to contain things there . 🎄
@@theflippedpiece Don't pay any attention to the rude comments saying you "ruined" something. I've seen your work and how much care and love you put into furniture; you make it better and modernize it while still preserving the character of it, which is something that a lot of the internet furniture flippers couldn't say. But even so, in the end it's just a piece of furniture, and it's YOURS so you get to decide how to honor it and use it! Anyway, I thought this chest transformation was incredible and I loved the idea of sealing it before painting it so that the tannins don't seep through the primer. Keep doing what you're doing, you have an amazing talent for this!!💛
@@theflippedpiece exactly! It's your furniture do as you want with it. People talking about the restoring the history as if ghosts are gonna hunt you down for painting it. Glad you added your history to it
Just like we cry about 70s carpet or 90s popcorn ceiling, I’m confident people will be crying at these Pinterest peeps who thought it was a good idea to cake natural wood with paint (and to install temporally clashing hardware).
I am late to your channel, but enjoying your energy. I think that you have “modernized” this piece so that it will have youth appeal without destroying what the actual charm of the piece is. Good work! Keep going ❤
She sells it. It's an MLM. Like pampered chef or those nail things. It's a pyramid scheme. Which is why the jars of paint are itty-bitty tiny and they probably sell for $30 a piece. It would take you out least five of those to do the chest that she did. And it looks horrendous. You shouldn't need to seal paint on furniture if it's the right kind of paint. But it's not ever about the product it's just about getting people to sign up to sell it, so the products are usually very cheap and marked all the way up because they have to pay every one of the line in an MLM.
I'm a blacksmith a welder if you want to remove the rest off for me anything you some vinegar with high acid in it you can just remove the hardware let it soak in it or you can spray it on there and wipe it off it'll do the same thing just not as good now it won't shine the metal will give it kind of a doll appearance but it's well worth it
Everyone saying that she ruined it doesn't get the point. It's not a national treasure. She didn't turn it into wood chips, she turned it into something she would be able to enjoy and use! In my mind, that's 1000% better than leaving in the garage to rot.
People calling a shitty old box ”historic”, it would’ve been thrown in a land fill at least now its a nice looking piece of functional furnature even if im not a fan of the color
I don't understand why the comments are so harsh. I guess u should have checked if it had value before u painted it? It is a perfect rustic cool side table.
Your other videosI've seen normally represent quite a nice transformation. I think the original wood looks better on a few of your videos, but the outcome is still nice. This video mask has me think you ruined a decent original piece. The final product looks quite horrible to me.
@@theflippedpiece you should probably look at the overwhelming number of comments expressing the opinion that you ruined a nice box. Your response here seems very arrogant, suggesting that you can't accept criticism.

Nope, sorry this one isn't for me. Either the trunk could have been resorted to a beautiful vintage upgraded look. As a table needs thicker legs matching the thick trunk style and a totally different colour or professionally aged. The original colour was wonderful and could have just used an upgrade. You could carve into it or stencil it.... or add some molding to add more character
Definitely not my favorite, but I'm also just not a fan of how the trunk looked in the first place. Like it's shape. Cool idea though!! Just not my personal style ☺️
I would have chosen to do something more creative with the paint, starting with more exciting color. Perhaps a family crest, flag of your family ancestry.
Not a personal favorite.. I think I'm not a big fan of it looking like it has layers and layers of paint.. :/ but I love the color choice.. just not the texture
It's horrendous. I think it's horrendous. It's literally disgusting solid color. And this is what happens when people who aren't passionate about refurbishing join an MLM and then just do everything to sell that MLM. You're not a designer you're not a furniture refurbisher, I wouldn't use any of these products on actual furniture ever in life. You don't need to seal if you're using the right products n you prepped it correctly. 😅 Yikes

Don’t like the colour and the legs are too thin compare to the thick sturdy look of the chest.

The paint can be removed.
Old is always gold... You too proven this.... Congrats...
Let’s do something creative with it… paint it beige.
So much better in the original state 💔
Bad idea.
That "old trunk" was a Civil War era limber chest. Congratulations, you ruined a $3,000 antique!
If you’re right that is tragic.
Not tragic…you can gently remove the top color. Congratulations on up-cycling, & incorporating cool family pieces, and finds into your home decor!
That was about to get thrown in the landfill. Get over it
She didn't ruin it. Thats what the stain blocker is for
But what did you do with the inside!!!??

That so bad, sorry
I love what you did with this. If you already own something and want to give it a new life why not? It's yours to do as you wish.
Totally ruined.
Thank you so so much!
@@theflippedpiece that’s not a good thing
Loving it! It's very elegant 👌😊🥳🥰
That is HEINOUS. The legs, awful.
Jesus Christ nobody needs to know your opinion
Are you compensated by Dixie Belle? Be honest....
Check her About page, she says it there. ;)
I figured she had to be. Otherwise she’d be buying bigger things of paint! Using those little ones would cost a fortune for any of us!

Love it ,like always.
LOOKED BETTER BEFORE, YOU SHOULD HAVE CLEANED IT, THEN LEFT IT ALONE!
😂😂😂
@@theflippedpiece
I'd cry if I were you, too. With sadness. You successfully destroyed a piece of history that needed restoration, not your flipping.
Very cute!
It looks worse.

I think cleaning it a bit might have been enough. It was a grand old foot locker. If it could talk, the stories it could tell. All gone now... waaaa.
You did great! Please ignore the bullies! You take trash and make it into something.
Shuld left it lone dummy
Dummy?! 🤣🤣🤣
Nice way to devalue the trunk paint it with primer 😮
Most of the time, I like your outcomes but this one is kinda off with the color. Looks like a pale pink from afar.
What do I think? I think you've ruined quite a nice looking wooden box
I agree
Love the new fall color. Great rustic side table
Cute!
Very cool!

Looks beautiful, perfect fit for the porch. You must like Dixie Bell paint.
Darker color has more character.
I loved it before , you're very talented but for me I preferred it as it was. But it's totally up to you
Super creative 🤣
I love that gun trunk!
This Dixie Bell ad ruined a nice trunk

Love it...good job❤👍

So awesome 🎉❤
I think it's amazing
I love it i think id do something different for the legs but it came out really cool lookin.
Shoulda kept it black. It was perfect black!
Perfect 💕💖
Try soaking in vinegar to remove rust…
Supee cute!
Again and again great job so happy I came across your channel u really do beautiful work keep up the great work.

This looks like a carpenters chest from the late 1800s, or it did before the makeover.

You haters need to quit it. People like different things. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all
Definitely not my favorite, but I'm also just not a fan of how the trunk looked in the first place. Like it's shape. Cool idea though!! Just not my personal style ☺️
grand.
The color isnt my cup if tea but nice job resealing it and upcycling it
So beautiful!!!

Anything for the AD#
Looks less rustic than the original.

To get rust off soak in cola
Makes me gag
