You truly set yourself apart from most, covering details that others would overlook. You're an inspiration. So glad you chose to keep this and put it back to good use. Also, your reveal was spot on! I had goosebumps watching your creative final reveal. So amazing! Barry
I felt the same way Oh my word. The reveal was BEAUTIFUL. I mean when you know that someone put love in something. She did love this thing back to beautiful!
This isn’t just art or talent alone. This is a God given gift and a blessing. Love your passion and dedication and am very thankful that you are taking us along! ❤️
You were so meticulous and detailed. I love seeing the care that you put into your projects. Down to oiling the hardware so it doesn't rust and adding oak veneer around the base to help it blend in. You did an awesome job!
I'm in love! First of all, I love library/Apothecary cabinets... something about little drawers. I love the hairpin legs and being a sewer, I love the way you staged it. Every minute you spent on the project was well spent. Beautiful 😍
I just pulled a table from our parking garage when somebody moved and can say I have the knowledge to finish that and an oak chest of drawers with your video. Not that I haven't seen many other diy ers do this but it came out so well and you are a positive speaker. Thank you.
Such a wonderful job. But the thing I admired the most was the way you stated " they left behind some treasures" what a wonderful honor you bestowed upon the items left behind. This shows what kind of spirit lives inside you. May God richly blessed you.
You are not weird. You are one extremely talented and meticulous crafter. This is the first video of yours that i've watched and im keen to see more. Im not a restorer or woodworker at all but i ❤ watching talented people bring something old and worn or neglected and giving it a new life. I almost cried when i saw you put those paint brushes back in the drawer. Ive watched heaps of furniture restoration videos and you are right up there with the best.
Wonderful job! I have dreamed of finding a piece like this for years - for sewing and art supplies. Complete removal and prep of hardware must ALWAYS be done. If not, the job is always a nightmare piece/sloppy mess someone else must fix later. I've never seen a piece like this from Globe. Truly envious!
5’2” of nothing but determination to make it happen 👍. That cabinet will look back at you every day and just glow. She was the perfect discovery for organizing your creative space. 💖
Mel, you hit the jackpot with this piece. I'm so glad you didnt paint it. I love painted furniture but this is just one of those pieces that stays vintage. You
I totally agree. Just couldn’t bring myself to painting this one not that I have anything against painting obviously LOL. I even considered painting it green which is my favorite color but it just didn’t feel right.
@@coloredcaboosecreations yes way! But it was a lot taller and in great condition. Keep searching or better yet have it appraised. Might well be worth it. I know some antiques do go down in value if they’re refinished but it should still be a decent amount of value.
I don't think white would have been my choice but you did a beautiful job with the piece, and, after all, it's your piece for your home so it should be your taste. Love how you staged it. I have several mission style antiques inherited from my husband's grandmother. She was married in 1905 so she bought furniture in the predominant style of that time.Lucky for me I love it too.
I love your globe cabinet! I loved your video and you are so right about going the extra mile cleaning every piece up completely. You did a great job on this I didn't care for the white wash finish myself but it is your cabinet and if you like it that is wonderful!
This turned out amazing and I love the washed white 😊I love the white wax highlights too. I love that you where able to save all the hardware . I LOVE IT, ALL THAT HARD WORK PAYED OFF INCREDIBLY 😁
I’m so excited you are keeping your beautiful cabinet. You deserve to enjoy the fruit of your labor. All the work and care is so visible in its final beauty. Love how you staged it. I love waxing over milk and clay based paints..feels like butter . Love how the white wax gave dimension to the crevices. Well done.
I can't watch this right now as I have to feed all critters, and besides, I'm obsessed with this kind of furniture and will probably watch it 3 times. Have saved it to watch later.
BRAVO!! It's so gratifying to see someone go the extra mile when doing a restoration or makeover of a piece of furniture! I share your philosophy of taking the time to clean and give new life to every aspect of a piece I'm working on..... especially when you've got one as amazing as this Globe Cabinet! I cringe when I see flippers/upcyclers skip out on the details. I think when you give an antique piece or outdated furniture, extra love & attention, positive energy comes back to you tenfold. I love your work! ~~Christy~~
I AM STOKED ABOUT THIS PIECE!! It IS GORGEOUS! I mean from start to finish you went the extra mile for yourself as you would for a client. I mean even the reveal had my hairs standing!! I’m thrilled and I know you will cherish this piece. I was so excited it was as if it was going to be mine! You’ve done well! Kudos
Best husband ever! Can you have yours talk to mine and tell him to get me a surf prep 🤣. I adore this piece. I would have kept it as well- especially after you brought it back.
That was a really fine restoration piece that showed a great knowledge of methods and materials. I don’t usually save flipping videos but I learned a lot from this one !
Holy cow! Talk about a labor of love; all those screws! It came out beautiful, though. If you ever get tired of it and want to sell it, you should get a good bit for it.
Wow, you did a great, thorough and beautiful refinish of a lovely old cabinet. As a crafter and retired librarian I really appreciate such pieces, so very useful and well made originally, and you were meticulous, and did it justice. I hope you get a lot of use from it for many a year. Thumbs up, well done! 😊👍👍👩🦳
Would appreciate a review on the surf-prep from someone I'm convinced exists! I'm getting Shakespearean over whether to purchase or not to purchase. I love wax and think that furniture must prefer it as well. Waxed pieces just look happier somehow. The cream colored paint was a better white wash than plain white would have been. Loved its warm glow in the reveal. Thanks for bring this cabinet back to life. I love that you returned the paint brushes to the drawer when you were done as well :)
Hah! I know where that Singer Blvd sign came from! I have a couple oak pieces I need to restore and I have been trying to decide whether to go with a light or dark wash. I kind of want them in the same color family so watching this helped me decide (haven’t decided for sure yet) -your neighbor to the south (ABQ).
Oh shoot busted 😬! Just kidding I found the sign in the backyard at an estate sale half buried in the dirt I had to have it though 😆. Awesome If you want to darken check out the steel wool vinegar way of ebonizing wood. Oak has a lot of tannins so it works very well on that type of wood. Good luck and thanks for watching neighbor 💚
WOW what a treasure! This piece and the work you did on it was amazing. You had made comment that maybe you’re weird with some of the work you were doing but I have to ask how can pride in the work you’re doing make you weird!?! I like that you’re ok with the blemishes this piece still has because trust me with all things as well as with people as we age we at some point have marks and blemishes that come with that age usually earned like with this piece that obviously worked hard for it’s owner through the years and because of your work will continue to be useful and it’s always nice to be appreciated;)
So glad I found your Channel I love this piece it turned out awesome and I really like how you spend your time and all the little details prepworks I believe is you do it's a most important thing for the best outcome thank you so much for sharing looking forward to your next DIY have a great day and God bless you and your family
The color choice of doing the whitewash wouldn’t match my style… but I still absolutely love this. What an amazing job of bringing this piece back to life. I love that you have the restored sewing machines in there as well. You are very talented. Definitely motivates me to give more thought to restoring some pieces that I would maybe think needed to just be painted. I also thank you for the recommendations for products. I bought some of the rust rescue stuff and the oil. I am working on a hutch right now. I had cleaned up the hardware and screws and then the next day the screws were all rusty. Not the first time it’s happened. But great tip to use the oil.
You hit the jackpot with that piece. I suspect it’s missing a bottom section. But it’s an heirloom piece. I’m so glad you ended up with it. 👏👏❤️ My original post was deleted, probably because I posted a link.
Thank you Emma I was so excited when I found this having wanted one for a long time. ( don’t worry I figured something was fishy with FB sorry to hear about that)
You truly set yourself apart from most, covering details that others would overlook. You're an inspiration. So glad you chose to keep this and put it back to good use. Also, your reveal was spot on! I had goosebumps watching your creative final reveal. So amazing! Barry
Wow thank you for this generous compliment. I’m glad you liked the ending I had a bit of help from a group of amazing people when I was stuck 😉.
I felt the same way Oh my word. The reveal was BEAUTIFUL. I mean when you know that someone put love in something. She did love this thing back to beautiful!
You took an uncared for piece and made it into a much loved treasure!!! Great job and all the extra work pays off!! ❤❤❤
This isn’t just art or talent alone. This is a God given gift and a blessing. Love your passion and dedication and am very thankful that you are taking us along! ❤️
🤗
You were so meticulous and detailed. I love seeing the care that you put into your projects. Down to oiling the hardware so it doesn't rust and adding oak veneer around the base to help it blend in. You did an awesome job!
Also that staging at the end ... 😳 👌
Thank you so much you are so sweet. Like my dad always said if you take time to do something you better take enough time to do it right.
It was just an idea 😆
Don’t know how we missed this one. Casey and I are watching in our big screen 📺 now 🙋♀️🌴🌺
I'm in love! First of all, I love library/Apothecary cabinets... something about little drawers. I love the hairpin legs and being a sewer, I love the way you staged it. Every minute you spent on the project was well spent. Beautiful 😍
Awe thank you 😊 🌸.
Yay another sewer I can geek out with 🤗. A little known fact 🤫 I collect older 1/2 size sewing machines.
I just pulled a table from our parking garage when somebody moved and can say I have the knowledge to finish that and an oak chest of drawers with your video. Not that I haven't seen many other diy ers do this but it came out so well and you are a positive speaker. Thank you.
Aw wish there was a love button. Fabulous. What a transformation. Enjoy your beautiful new piece.
❤️
Such a wonderful job. But the thing I admired the most was the way you stated " they left behind some treasures" what a wonderful honor you bestowed upon the items left behind.
This shows what kind of spirit lives inside you. May God richly blessed you.
That’s so sweet thank you 😊
Impressed again with your patience and the pride you take with your work. You are a restorer. Very awesome!
Thank you so much ☺️!

Oh wow I am a quilter and I would give my eye teeth (LOL) for that cabinet. Love the finish like it better than the bleach. Perfect!
Wonderful job! I have dreamed of finding a piece like this for years - for sewing and art supplies. Complete removal and prep of hardware must ALWAYS be done. If not, the job is always a nightmare piece/sloppy mess someone else must fix later. I've never seen a piece like this from Globe. Truly envious!
You brought that piece back from the dead! What a beautiful cabinet! Whoever built that cabinet put a lot of love into it. Great job!
Thanks 😊

I totally agree. Just couldn’t bring myself to painting this one not that I have anything against painting obviously LOL. I even considered painting it green which is my favorite color but it just didn’t feel right.
Wholeheartedly Agree!
I saw an antique late 1800’s Globe cabinet (in very good condition) like this one except it was 72” tall. It was priced for $12,950!
No waaay???😳
@@coloredcaboosecreations yes way! But it was a lot taller and in great condition. Keep searching or better yet have it appraised. Might well be worth it. I know some antiques do go down in value if they’re refinished but it should still be a decent amount of value.
This piece looks like it was just delivered from a high buck furniture store. Stunning.

I'm real envious of that cabinet. Turned out awesome.
This is stunning! I love how the white wax helped to bring everything together. Thanks for all those tips on the hardware cleaning too. Amazing work!
Thank you I’m glad you were able to take something from it.
Beautiful work. Your extra effort shines through.
This piece is amazing!!! You are so talented. ♥️

This apothecary cabinet turned out beee-u-tiful!!!
An amazing makeover and attention to detail immaculate, I love the vintage latch, you are a joy to watch Mel. 😊
Wow thank you 😊
I can't watch this right now as I have to feed all critters, and besides, I'm obsessed with this kind of furniture and will probably watch it 3 times. Have saved it to watch later.
Just a wonderful piece and your attention to detail really shows. Down to cleaning & oiling the screws. Thanks for taking us along.❤️🌹

Wow Quality work! Gorgeous! What a labor of love!
How i really like this piece.👍🏼
You found wonderful pieces.
Thanks 😊
I love using wax too. It is tuff stuff and lasts a long time. My favorite is Annie Sloan wax and actually all her paints. Love this piece.
The color choice of doing the whitewash wouldn’t match my style… but I still absolutely love this. What an amazing job of bringing this piece back to life. I love that you have the restored sewing machines in there as well. You are very talented.

This is amazing, your attention to detail is commended. I would also keep such a piece, perfect!
You are so talented and do amazing work.
What a beautiful transformation! I am a sewer and would love to have a piece like this for my supplies. A job well done!
Amazing sis! You are good, so good. I just love your work and your work ethic 🙏❤🙏
