    “I’ll have to get creative”. 🤣 You’re already one of the most creative furniture upcyclers on RUclips! These turned out so beautifully - they would work together or separately.

    I just started following your channel a couple of months ago. You do a fantastic job turning "trash" into "treasure." What I appreciate most is the presentation: no music, just the natural sounds around you, like the kids playing on the playground, or the wind blowing, or the brush moving across the wood. I've been doing a little of restoration work myself but, based on what I've seen you do, I can clearly do better. Keep up the great work!

    I didn't realize how beautiful those drawers/door were. They were so dirty. I'm sure you saved the little drawers on the middle. You'll think of something.
    I'm also glad you reused the hardware. The design is fantastic.
    I agree with others, a shelf on the bottom one would have been nice. I would have "balanced" both pieces.
    Still, they turned out so fantastic, I would buy them in a heartbeat.
    Again, nicely done!!! You are a true artist!! 🤩🤩🤩

    I was not sure from the beginning how this would turn out. I kept thinking--has he made a mistake? No. The end was pure perfection. I would love to own those pieces and they would be treasured forever. Fantastic work. Those handles and the inlay were SO worth preserving. Bravo!

  • @debsmith2269
    @debsmith2269 Год назад +25

    I really like the interest of having slightly mismatched bedside tables and you've certainly made a fabulous job with these two. That was a very odd looking vanity but now it's regained its dignity again as two beautiful nightstands.

    BRAV-OOOOO!!! These pieces are chef's kiss, first place, gold star, gold medal! I cannot believe how gorgeous they turned out! But i shouldn't be surprised. You are a Master creator! What i also liked is the split screen of your sponsor nd you continuing ur exquisite work! Thank you for doing that. I actually found myself ping ponging between the two screens, lol.

  • @obbadda

    You are truly SO amazing and inspiring!
    I have always LOVED this period's lines and complicated inlaid patterns and designs. I abhored the "paint milk paint over the whole thing" DIYers reclamations. Its like painting over a mosaic 🫣
    10yrs ago, Waterfall was not in vogue, so furnishing my home on a very thin shoestring allowed these pieces to be collected bc no one else saw their beauty, either as-is or refurbished.
    So- almost all my BR furniture is Art Deco, most needing a bit of help to reclaim their stunning former glory. This was always intended, but I think the reason that this period's furnishings were left for dead is bc all that veneer is *intimidating* and there's almost always water damage.
    Watching these videos prepares me to be ready to reclaim my pieces' back to full glory with the tools and products now available. And it gets me very excited about it, instead of feeling total overwhelm.
    I'm currently in the process of painting my living/dining/kitchen rooms and recovering a LOT of furniture... so BRs are a bit away on the "going-to-get-to" list.
    I deeply appreciate your camera work, angles and pace of restoring pieces. There's such a calm gentleness to your videos as well.
    THANK YOU for your vision, skill, and earnest love of craft.
    🙏

    Love the way you use stain to bring out the woodgrain in the new elements. REally complements the original pattern on the drawers and the door. I know there has been a lot of discussion about keeping it as the original art deco vanity, vs upcycling. As far as I am concerned, if a makeover means one less piece of hardwood furniture going into the skip and landfill, go for it. Well done.
