Another Marketplace find for $20. I actually didn't mind the color that it was painted in, but it definitely needed a refresh, so I had to strip it clean. I think the top originally had a shelving or display unit, which would explain why there was a big section of the top that wasn't painted.
Let me know what you thought about this one, and thanks for watching :)

Hiding the defects on the top by reproducing the groove pattern already present on the drawer faces and the legs was a strike of genius! Excellent video!
That's what Andy is, a Genius. 👍😃👍
That's restoring mate...😉
Nice 👍
Stroke of genius.
Could not agree more with Geolog66, what a brillant fix!
I know the stop motion, multiple angles (while making sure you’re not blocking what you want us to see) plus adding and incorporating the same in a way that matches the sped-up parts… I know it makes everything take SIGNIFICANTLY longer, but it’s so satisfying and enjoyable to watch/listen to, so thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you 🥲
Да,очень понравилось👍
The stop motion is my favorite 😊
Absolutely awesome
I love how you've started incorporating stop motion in your videos. It gives them such a quirky, chipper sort of vibe. ❤️
Yes!!
Yes! 😂 it also makes me think of Gumby!
Reminds me of that one guy who does woodworking videos in exclusively stop motion
@@codenamefirestarter7478 who is that?
@@justkiddin84 his name is omozoc. He be another youtuber
Absokutely delighted that you "simply" stripped it and enhanced its natural wood qualities. This grain is a beauty ❤
What a beautiful wood grain. Not a fan of the interior just taste wise but it’s good to explore a little :D
Yeah, I personally think maybe a darker stain would have tied it together better, but that's just my opinion.
Yea I thought the nautical theme was weird for the piece, maybe it's just the best they could fine but something black with darker jewel tones would fit a bit better. The dresser makes me think of mid-century cocktail parties somehow so I thought that would've worked.
I bet when the piece was painted red, someone was really excited about the color, but it was definitely time to let it go.
I agree - I’m not a fan of the red inside the drawers. I wish they had been stripped to match the exterior.
This is probably my favourite furniture restoration video. The wood is far prettier than any paint, that hardware came out gorgeous and the way you "hid" the defect on the top by matching the groove pattern is brilliant! There are many other RUclips furniture restorers that could learn a lot from you. Very well done!
You are creative, artistic and super talented! Love the stop motion
Not only are you an incredible woodworker, your videography is top notch as well!
The dresser is beautiful! Well done!
Your editing and the shots you get are just masterful. Really makes this a pleasure to watch.
Andy, the turtle fabric won me over keeping the paint on the inside of the drawers. Your creativity is impressive! Beautiful dresser. 👏👍❤😍
My favorite channel
My favorite too! Fantástico!
Agree!
Same!
No wonder you're so good at this! The furniture sees you coming and the screws twist themselves out, the fittings just fall off and you push the nail down with your hand. Why can't I ever get that lucky? You are a good teacher, even if you can't see your students.
Not sure what I admire more: this guy’s video editing skills or his wood working skills
the wood grain is absolutely beautiful! i'm a 5th generation woodworker, and it's all about the beauty of the natural wood. thank you very much for demonstrating how beautiful natural wood is.
I want to just point out his beautiful camera work and editing. Some of these shots are so artfully done with the shallow depth of field and layout, along with the transitions using audio or a continuous movement is just so GOOD. Creating two pieces of art here!
😍🥹
I couldn’t agree with you more!! There’s one video where he tests hot water with his finger and goes “ouch “ l couldn’t stop laughing 😂
I thought this too! Brings these videos to the next level 🥰
I love the stopmotion looking parts
Agreed. The beauty of the video kept me watching.
This is what results when you combine talent, skill, artistry and patience. You are on a whole different plane. Stunning! ♥️
Voted most original camera angles and best video editing of all restoration channels 👏👏👏
this dresser is like business on the outside, party on the inside... great idea putting the grooves in the top!
😍
Again a beautiful piece. I love your channel as much for the quality of your videos: no unnecesarry music ; as for the content very creative 👍😎🐕🦺🐈⬛
I have run out of adjectives for your videos, so I'll keep this simple. Your videos are the BEST on You Tube!! The end results are always stunning, and the nature scenes included are the icing on the cake. You are SO creative....in everything that you do. Amazing!!!!
Love this piece!! Love that you kept it natural to showcase the beautiful wood color and grain and it was very clever of you to cover up that spot on the top by matching the detail of the drawers and legs. 👍👍👏👏💖💖
It's gorgeous. Putting those grooves in the top was a genius move. Your perfectionism always pays off in the end. 💯🌹🌼
How fortunate the top was damaged so you could match the groove detailing. Just WOW. Bloody WOW. 😍
I agreed!
He is like the greatest surgeon in furniture world
Canada here. Why do I find sanding so relaxing? Thank you keep up your wonderful work.
As always…stunning!!! Both the woodworking as the editing!
This piece is incredibly beautiful! You bought it at an amazing price because it was not appreciated! GORGEOUS! The bronze handles, the carved details, the duck tails and the drawer fronts are precious. I love your creativity... you made the damaged area dissappear and the carving looks like it was originally there! Thanks so much for sharing
I'm always happy to see a new video from you. I love the natural finish of this piece!
Every time I watch one of your videos, I am absolutely astounded! You are truly the most talented refinisher, builder, craftsman and all else that goes along with what you do, that I have ever had the privilege of just seeing your work. Your talent is unending. I am always so grateful to view your videos. I am watching a master at work. This dresser is beautiful now. I also love the stop motion, it makes me smile. Thank you for sharing your time and talent with us. Take care,stay safe.
Thank you so much 😊
Excellent solution to diminish the damaged section on the top. Honestly, the addition of the lines improved the piece in its entirety. I hope you plan to work in design or art somehow. Such a gift!
I actually got teary eyed seeing the vast improvement from ugly to really beautiful. Adding the grooves was brilliant. I wish I lived near you so I could buy your pieces. Well done ❤️
This is such a cute dresser, and the camouflaging detail you added to the top is genius.
I love this piece. I'm not generally a fan of mid-century modern style, but this one pushes all my "yes" buttons. And your work brought out its natural beauty. It's perfect. Thank you.
very creative solution to the damage issue! i like this piece, but i also think maybe it could use a darker stain on top of the existing finish in order to blend in all those different colored wood panels. they would have used toned lacquer in the factory to blend it
The piece is strikingly beautiful
Love the router detail on the top - perfect solution!
I appreciate that a good video doesn't require a lot of talk, and do enjoy the variation in speed and action sounds. I also never tire of seeing old things get new life. This piece I particularly would love in my own home. I suspect it and I are the same vintage 😂. But as a Mom and a quilter that uses rotary cutters almost daily....it is a push tool, not a pull tool. Safety First.
That is beautiful! Love that you left the inside red!
Not only do you do an excellent job on the furniture you restore, excellent job on making the videos putting everything together😊 thanks for sharing your skills with us your yours.
Thanks for bringing us such good content! (Love the stop motion moments especially)
As always the final look is amazing!!! 🌟
This is how restoration should be! fantastic ! I’m Writing from Germany
Great work!!! Reviving beauty is happiness, isn't it?🌸
Andy, another stunning piece of work! Glad you are getting sponsors.
I can see where you got your "creativity" to fix the top. The legs and the drawers gave you the clue. I would have never figured that one out. You are simply brilliant.
You cut the fabric to the exact width, and allowed a little bit to the length. Just to avoid the problem of cutting the corners inside the drawer. Thumbs up on that one, I don't have that kind of patience.
The fabric store had a beautiful selection of prints. Any one you would had selected would have looked very nice.
I always look forward to watch your videos, they are a pleasure to watch. 🥰🥰🥰
your camera work is as much a joy to watch as the make over genius!
Adding the grooves across the top to disquise the damage was truly inspired. I would suggest adding a coat of Mod Podge over the fabric drawer liners to protect it from accidents and make it easier to clean, etc. Another beautiful restoration!
So excited!! I always look forward to another video by modern makeovers! You are incredibly talented and crafty, taking ruined furniture and creating masterpieces with them. I love watching you change boring furniture and making them beautiful!! You're a true craftsman at his best!!! Thank you for sharing these wonderful videos 😊
I needlepoint watching video's. BUT, when I see your make over's I put down the needlepoint and watch. You did a great job, as always. BRAVO!
This video is so masterfully filmed and edited 🥹😭💕💕
I love mid century modern! My cousin has a mid century modern home that she has beautifully restored. Who knew linoleum in the 2020' could be so expensive but so beautiful! I sent her a link to your site.
Another great makeover. You are my favorite! I absolutely love your creativity! I just wish you posted more frequently!
Oh my gosh - talk about turning a sow's ear into a silk purse. You did an incredible restoration. The inside drawer lining was a true "piece de la resistance." This is far better than new, ya done good!!
Well-made dresser of solid wood, well-finished/repaired and shiny solid brass pulls. Pshew...for $25 bucks you restored a gem! The material on drawer bottoms is genius! Good on you. 🎉🎉😊
Beautiful....the natural woodgrain is beautiful.
I get excited when you and Flipping Drawers post videos. Such quality content!
The marks on the top were hidden brilliantly, great idea for the drawer bottoms 😊I’d love that piece of furniture in my house
Another stunning job! I love that you left the inside red because when you pulled those drawers out and I saw every inch painted I thought oh my goodness the amount of work stripping and sanding is insane but you made it work and it looks fantastic😍
I honestly thought no matter what you did i would hate this dresser..... I LOVE the end result. I'm so glad you took the paint off and let the natural beauty of the wood shine. Beautiful.
You have an absolute gift for seeing the potential in your projects. And the gloss on the INSIDE of the drawers! Amazing!!
😮 wow what a beauty, thanks for giving her back her beauty, love the wood grain and the colour.
Hi Andy, you’re so clever introducing the grooves on the top to hide the defect, matching the legs and drawers. Fantastic piece ❤️👍🏼❤️
You are still amazing So much skill & talent! Love your precision and your sense of humor! Your yard is equally gorgeous! I am 77 yrs old, just started painting/ fixing "junk" furniture & have learned a lot from your videos! Congratulations on gour youtube success!
The stop motion effects are *chef’s kiss*
It's like Streamline Moderne transitioning into MCM. Beautiful makeover.
Every piece you work on becomes a work of art. I only wish I were as talented. Excellent editing to top it all off. Love love love this natural beauty.
Always enjoy that your videos are self explanatory without unnecessary chit chat. Always informative, well conceived, and clear when showing products and techniques. Very well done.
I’d love to have this in my home, it’s beautiful. You did an amazing job as always 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My girlfriend and I love your work! Sometimes we are speechless at the amount of work you put into your pieces. Without a doubt you are our favorite up cycler/restorer of furniture and cabinets and more. You remind of My Mechanics in your attention to detail and sheer brilliance. Keep up the great work because my girlfriend and I are always on the lookout for your next creation.
Cheers!
The little bits of stop motion you put in are always my favorite! But I know they’re probably the hardest part lol
Love everything about the final result, including the natural wood color on the outside and the fabric and red on the inside.
Beautiful finish! I love the fabric choice, too. I never thought to use fabric as a drawer liner. 💕
Amazing how you brought back the dresser and gave her life again,
Beautiful dresser you uncovered from underneath, great video
You have a great eye when looking for furniture to restore. Most of us would look at them and think 'garbage' but you take these beauties that are hidden under the disguise of ugly paint and finishes, and turn them into beautiful pieces. Nice job!
Excellent work again friend to say the least, have a nice day, Brian UK !!!😊😊😊
the air tastes fresher after watching this
I love how when you slide a drawer out you get the shock of red and seashell fabric!.
Other furniture flippers just basically sand the piece, fix little holes and repaint it, which many times might be enough but you are master carpenter and moreover a mega creative one! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Picking my jaw up off the floor! I love MCM furniture and that one I would have left on the side of the road! HOLY COW! You're Brilliant! Beautiful Job!
I love how you have amazing work and cinematography skills to complement one another
Another absolutely perfect, beautiful restoration!!
Dang you made it look better than when it was originally made. Beautiful
Very cool, another classic brought back to life. Loves the banding detail on the top that mimics the banding design on drawers and legs while hiding the damage to the surface
This is as much a restoration tutorial as it is a masterful work of film and photgraphy. Bravo!
Beautiful restoration!
My favorite piece yet. The drawer pulls...chef's kiss!
And again Andy, that was pure genius to add the three lines on the top. It looks like it was meant to be there. Beautiful work 👏🏼
Love how you hid the flaw on top with those groves! Very smart! Excellent job as always!
looking forward to watching the video 🙂
very nicely done! love the grooves on the top board
Brilliant repair. I would never have thought of mimicking the detail from the legs and drawers.
This piece is so beautiful. It's fascinating to watch where you'll go with the restorations
0:37 - 0:51 and 3:05 - 3:09 It's amazing how you managed to do stop-motion like - the Clokey family could be very proud!
I love your animation and the legs matching the top. Beautiful work.
Omg that’s beautiful. Such a unique well built dresser.
Love the fabric in the drawers. Stops stuff from sliding when the drawers are opened and shut! Nice piece, once again!
The only part of these amazing videos I don’t like is when they say “And we’re done.” Never want it to end!
You have a great 👁eye for furniture! You have really intuitive creativity for what each piece 🗄can be! So happy😄 you brought this back to LIFE! It is BEAUTIFUL. I Want It!!!!!💗
I love that you kept the pop of color in the drawers.
Amazing as always! What a treat after a long few weeks of non stop work. Thank you!
Beautiful restoration. I like how you left the pop of red with the black n white fabric inside. Nice surprise when you open the drawers.
I enjoy watching you put a special spin on each of your pieces. And your videos are always so entertaining!
