The end of the drawer shot while the paint was going on was awesome.
Thanks! We're trying to get interesting viewpoints!
Looks much better! Awesome work. Just gotta keep Rollin Rollin Rollin 😉
I sang it. 😂🙈
I love that you dressed the top with a satin top coat. The colors are absolutely smashing!! Love it. A job well done.
Thank you so much!
When you said you were painting the hardware metallic silver I thought to myself that dark blue was the way to go. Very nice!
the paint color against that wood tone is spot on.
Pandy also approve
Thanks Melanie!!!😀
I would watch your channel if you two were upgrading a cardboard box! You are a delightful couple.😉
Thanks Elaine! That means a lot!💗
Hey Warriors . Jim is fantastic, and I love Cindy's voice in this vid. Would love to see more of Cindy in the finished videos. Please keep the content coming, the 2 of u are fantastic 👏.
I am working on the furniture full-time while Cindy still has a full-time job. She joins when she can and we're hoping we'll be able to have her in the videos more and more! Thanks!
turned out very pretty! i’m enjoying your playful banter, and I immediately said in my head, “that’s the bad screwdriver Cindy gets!” 🤣 when jim complained about it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...Thanks!
Outstanding. You 2 gave new life to this outdated piece.
Thanks so much!😀
I love it. Thanks too for the hints for a better project. Your color and clear coat is spot on🤗
Thanks Christine!
You turned that into a lovely piece. The blue color with natural wood was an excellent choice.
Thank you very much!
Leaving the two drawers natural wood was a great touch. Beautiful work you two.😊❤️
We love saving some of the wood when we can! Thanks!
Uncanny! From Bleak House to Blue Mansions! Thank you for taking your good judgement and aesthetics and making this program so uplifting to me. Who is about to do lots of blue shades on wood. ....
Thanks Nancy!
@@FurnitureWarriors it is 9/11 and 20 years later. It is so good to see normalcy with your videos. Be safe.
My MIL was a kid when her mom and dad bought her the same set in france. She is now about to to 78. And my granddaughter now has the set and still uses it. I might just need to redo the set for her birthday.
Go for it! It's quite fun for us to redo furniture! Thanks!
Another excellent conquest from the Furniture Warriors 👏
Thanks much!💗
That denim blue it looks really nice and the other color is great for something that's mid-century perhaps
Thanks Lorraine!
Handles turned out great and the natural wood looks amazing with the denim blue 💙
Thank you! 😊
You guys are not only talented, but so much fun to watch. Love you guys!!
Thanks Elizabeth!
You guys work so well together. Great flip! Darling dresser.
Thank you so much!
I am loving watching this. Although I may be older than both of you, reminds me of watching my parents do stuff together. Really appreciate that you don’t feel the need to talk constantly. You give the necessary info. Refreshing. Very elegant result. Love the colours and the handles are perfect
Thanks Roberta! That means a lot to us!😊
Very well said. Love this husband and wife team!
BEAUTIFUL!!!💖💖💖💖💖
Thank you!
It went from sad to classy!! Great job!
Thank you!!
Beautiful out come. Well done!
Very pretty! Y'all did a great job.
Thanks for the close up shots. They help so much! Beautiful piece!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!🙂
LOVELY!
Thank you!😀
Guys, you outdid yourselves. The contrast of the navy and natural drawers really looks great! By the way, the coral color may work in a boho style piece. Love the interaction and detailed step needs step process. Many thanks. Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks Genna! We'll have to see about a boho piece!😀
Beautiful--thanx for all the explaining--You're an excellent Teacher!
You are so welcome! Thanks Jeannie!😀
I literally love you both so much! Thank you for being such beautiful humans 💕💕💕 it brings me so much joy.
Thanks Bryanna!💗
I love blue and silver! Nice.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great idea about the mineral spirits! Thank you
You are so welcome!
It's absolutely beautiful. Gosh you ended up with a few issues to contend with but fair play you overcame them all. Well done. Love the blue and the natural wood.
Thank you! 😊
@@FurnitureWarriors You guys are a joy to watch so thank YOU.
The coral color would be perfect for a pair of nightstands for a girls bedroom or a desk. It would have fit perfectly into my room as a teenager. My colors were coral and yellow. I would use it now on a garden bench.
We just did a garden bench a few weeks ago, but didn't have the paint then. Good idea for the next one though! Thanks!
Hi Ya Jim & Cindy
You Both Did an Awesome job on those Ugly Draws 😜👍👏
❤️ the Colour and Just ❤️ the Hardware
Thanks Ondina!
You guys!!!!!!! I love how this piece turned out. The color is stunning! 😍 Hope y’all are doing well!
Thank you!! 😊 We're doing great! Was glad to see your check in on FB with that hurricane!💗
@@FurnitureWarriors Yes! It didn’t get near as bad as we expected. The storm that came through 2 days later was worse than the weather from the hurricane.
Looks great! Good job.
Oh my Lord!!!!! WOW 🤩
Thanks Cristina!
Thanks for the mini-tutorial on mixing Bondo. Almost everyone I've watched using it or similar products puts so much hardener in there that I wonder how they ever have the time to get it on the spots that need it. Have also seen undermixing to the point the product looks intentionally marbled. I think you've helped a lot of folks out here get better results. The before and after reveal on this piece is a definite WOW! The contrast between the top coated wood and the rich blue is beautiful. The florals on the drawers were an unexpected bonus. Nice work all around!
Thanks! We appreciate it!
Beautiful again guys! You really worked your magic. ❤️
Thank you so much! Amazing sometimes how you find repairs to make along the way!😀
Beautiful!!
Great job. I love the color and stenciling.
Thank you so much!
It's absolutely stunning piece
Thanks Kathleen!
I love the end result on this piece. Keep on doing such great work and your subscribers will grow
Thank you very much!
Big thumbs up. That is beautiful!!! ❤️
Thanks Julie!
Love the result - colourful but also would go with most decor :) I love the Coral Crush too - maybe a vanity or bedside drawers or even a single accent wooden chair would be lovely. Would pick out colours in curtains or a duvet without being "too much" Well done to you both!
Great ideas!! Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful! Good job!
Thank you so much!
Very nice! I like the color of the stencils!
Thanks so much! It was kind of an after thought, but worked out well!😀
Wow! It's gorgeous! Great job!
Thank you! 😊
Appreciate the extra effort you always go to do the drawer slides. Nice job, well done.
Thanks 👍
Wow, you both really amaze me.
Thanks Becky!
So pretty! Love the work, you guys are a fantastic team!
Thank you so much!
Hello dear! I love all your DIY, I always watch your videos. I found the cushion with the Christmas image beautiful, I would like to see vintage decorations for the Christmas tree
Thanks!
Turned out great!
Thanks Terri!😃
This turned out beautiful! Two-tone is my fave! I love how you two always move through challenges as they arise and make them a teaching moment. Awesome work as always!
Thanks Jenn!😀
That really looks pretty, great job
Thank you! 😊
Great work and love that colour 👍
Thank you so much 😀
Absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful work you two! New to your channel. Happy to have found you guys! 😊
Very nice! Great job!
Thank you very much!
Love this.
Thanks Connie!
Very nice i love that color
We really like it too! Thanks!
Great Job!
Thanks Helena!
Love it, Jim and Cindy! What a great transformation. That is a beautiful blue color. I am personally not a huge fan of coral so my vote would be to use it as an accent color. But I have seen similar colors on small girly pieces and it looked lovely. So, who knows? Take care, Sherry
Thanks so much Sherry!💗
Beautiful!,
Thank you!
Pretty!😁😘
Thank you! 😊
This piece is absolutely beautiful I love the two tone silver knobs look awesome both work so well together I enjoy all of your DIYs people have a true talent for this thank you so much for sharing have a great evening and God bless you both
Thank you so much!
That escalated into a train wreck! It ended up lovely! I love the hardware painted silver, and the color you painted on it! Denim blue? I think that was it. I love any blue.
Thanks Deana!
So beautiful 🤩 🤩 I 'm glad you didn't keep the coral color on the wood top drawers 👍👌. Keep it maybe for like school chairs were you can paint chairs different colors😉
Great idea!! Thanks!
Love your work! I think you should use the orange color on a makeup vanity piece and accent with gold!
Great idea!! Thanks!
Beautiful
Thank you Susan!
That turned out beautiful! Awesome job! As for the coral crush, I'd paint anything with that color it's very pretty. I'd show off as much wood tone with it and do the hardware either gold or rose gold. Thanks for another flippin awesome video!
Great ideas! Thanks!
Great job guys 👍🏼
Love the color and the hardware!
Thanks so much Sarah! Amazing how many times we can change our minds on design along the way!😂😂💗💗
Inspiring!
Thanks Kelly!
Lovely. X
Thank you!😀
The piece looks really great!! I grew up with blonde furniture and I really hated it. The "Coral Crush" could possibly used as an accent color (with "Charcoal" color) to go with a couch with that color in the fabric. I think that would be a nice look for a living room. Another great job Warriors.
Great idea!! Thanks for sharing!
Use the coral color with accents of black on an Art Deco piece or some piece of furniture that reminds one of Miami/Coral Gables, FL.
Great idea! Thanks Sandra!💗
Tracey Rice from Andersonville, Tennessee here. Great job! Another flipper just recently refurbished this exact chest. If you have time, check out how her chest turned out. Her RUclips name is "Reconstructing Emily." Love you two guys--my favorite couple to watch!
We talk with Emily quite a bit and enjoy her videos very much! Thanks!!!
Cindy and Jim are basically family 😀
A lot of work, but turned out fantastic. Thought I was the only one that tried to put drawer handles on the inside
I've done that a few times and once I actually screwed it in before realizing it!🤣🤣🤣 Thanks!
Clean it,,its nice.
The pink/coral paint will reduce the pool of buyers that would like to buy a piece of furniture, from a business perspective you need to plan for a wider audience. That color will be perfect for a child or maybe as an accent color. Love your work! Where do you sell your pieces?
We are in the process of opening our Etsy store. Should be done real soon and we'll start putting the link in our descriptions! Thanks!
You guys are awesome, I enjoy watching and the information you give. As for the pink ... accent as it seems bold. However what does it dry
Thanks for watching! It doesn't dry as bold as how it looks in the jar.😀
Why doesn't this screwdriver work? Lmao " that's the one you always give me!"😂
It is the one I gave her in the last video that she "complained" about.....🤣🤣🤣
I am going to start refinishing some blind wood nightstands very soon
When you left the two draws bare wood on your dresser, does that mean you went right through the veneer down to wood?
How do you know what kind of what is underneath ?
I found your video very informative, and I love that you guys work together
Accent color on a large piece. Or main color on small piece- stool , chair, table.
Thanks for the ideas!😀
About coral, use it on a whole very small accent piece, almost like a piece of art, jewelry armoire or accent table! That denim looks very teal, can you adjust color a little?
Thanks for the suggestion on the Coral. I'm not able to adjust the color with our current equipment without some really freaky stuff happening.😬 As we're able to improve our equipment, we'll see what we can do..... Thanks!
I love this piece! It would be nice if you listed all your products you use.
We'll see if we can improve on that for you! Thanks!
@@FurnitureWarriors ❤️
Do you like the foam roller for flat surfaces? So pretty
The high density foam rollers seem to work best for us. With a little practice, we get the paint to look like it was sprayed on. Thanks!
Love the peachy color! As an accent color?
We think it would make a great accent color too! Just need to find the right piece for it! Thanks!😀
Do you find your selling market shrinks when you use bolder colours?
It’s really pretty IMO. 😊
Black sells best in our area, but even the bolder colors seem to do ok. Thanks!
🥂🏆🎈
😀😀😀
Note: -no scratches or scrapes or flaws. please see previous
note Thanks, just a mess from previous attempts to strip
What do you recommend?
Have 1/2 stripped 1950's Blond Lane Cedar Chest that I want to have restored to a different finish. Over time the original finish
has turned into an ugly yellow. what a mess! I haven't selected
another color finish as yet. Would you recommend getting the
refinishing done by a pro? Thank you!
I think the pink would be best used as an accent unless you were specifically doing a piece for a girl.
OH NO! You ruined that 1950's limed blonde finish and painted it greenish grey. So now instead of looking like a hip mid-century modern piece it looks like a cheazy 80's outdated piece. You could have at least left that beautiful grain veneer show like on those upper drawers. Bummer, once all of the youtubers ruin these mid-century modern pieces with paint all we have left is grandma's blurry photos to remember what this type finish looked like.
Beautiful!!!
Thank you!!
Beautiful
Thank you!
