      Totally agree! This set is beautiful! I love the color & texture combo and the black hardware. Well done! And for those who don’t like it, they’ll find something else. That’s the beauty of choice :-) I’d love this set in my house.

      Exactly! You are incredibly talented and don’t have to apologize for your artistic choices, which I think is stunning! I LOVE the gray wash. Of course I love anything in the gray tones vs beige/browns when it comes to neutral colors. And the pop of black for the hardware is just chefs kiss perfection. Well done, Angie!!💜

    I bag on these laminate pieces all the time “ New from Montgomery Ward’s ( in 1974 ! ) the Crapola Collection from the Fauxwood line! “ or something like that. But you’re right, they have stood the test of time. And they have at least three things going for them. 1. They’re usually cheap, making for a better margin 2. No one is going to call them antiques and bag on you for painting them and 3. In keeping them out out of the landfill they won’t get ground up for compost and poison someone’s tomatoes. In addition they usually turn out well ( yours did ) so it’s a winning proposition all around.

You're the pro we all want to watch. You put in the effort and it shows. You don't just slap paint on the furniture. You lovingly restore it to its useful place on the planet. You have had my admiration for 1.5 years now and I'm hooked for life. I had a shop many years ago Pat's Refinishing Of Old Furniture "PROOF" is in the workmanship. I'm 78 now but you tease me into thinking about another round of hard work and JOY. I've got nothing to lose and the products today are a far cry forward of what I had available many years ago...not to mention Amazon for supplies. Thanks Angie, for inspiring so many of us who love wood.

    I appreciate your purpose of finding a second life for any type of furniture. Laminate is fine if its isn't horribly damaged. Fact is that not all of us can afford solid wood furniture, so laminate is a staple. Keeping the plastic/chemicals out of the environment is a noble task. Dont pay too much attention to those negative commenters. Let them find the solid wood pieces and refinish them to the quality that you do. Your work is beautiful and your videos educate us "poor" folk that can't afford new furniture but can afford refinishing pieces. Thank you for your work.

I just finished my very first dresser refinish yesterday, it was a laminate piece like these with solid wood drawers, pulls and legs and I'm SO happy with how it turned out. When it's a crummy laminate piece to begin with you really can't go wrong, especially as a beginner! Very low stakes. I was very much inspired by you (although I went dark for mine, black paint and mahogany stain, I know you like the light and airy!), and your videos helped me so much with the process!
