    While the first one was a really fun design idea, I can see how it was too busy with all the pulls. I love what you did to change the design - this one will surely sell!😍

    I like the new version much better. The old one was just too busy - too much going on with those bottom drawers. I'm not sure about the different colored drawer pulls on this one, but I enjoy seeing your creativity at work.

    The first version looked like the top part and bottom part of the dresser were from two different chest of drawers and were "frankensteined" together. The slats were beautiful in own right before the hardware was added.
    Now it is a much more cohesive look and it turned out great.
    It is true that we only learn through failures or mistakes. You turned your fail into a learning opportunity for your viewers. Also served as a dramatic before and after experience for those merely looking to be entertained.

    • @aliferefurbished
      @aliferefurbished  5 месяцев назад

      Awww thank you! And yes, I think the two tone with one single handle per drawer would have sold. Or even if I would’ve painted the whole dresser with one color and kept all the handles, but those two things together were too much. And yes, I definitely like sharing so others can learn, just like I have. 😊

    The second re-do is awesome. That’s not to discount the work that went into the first refurbish. But that faux wood look is such a favorite. The colors you chose were perfect. Thank you for being transparent in sharing some hope with us… it’s ok to go back to the drawing board and try again. I enjoyed this content.

    I love the 2nd make over. It’s clean lines shine through and are not lost in the business of the others drawer handles. I thought, at first that it had all these individual skinny drawers , which would have been impractical for a dresser. But realized it was an “ illusion “. I lived the colors of the first but the design of the 2nd.

    • @aliferefurbished
      @aliferefurbished  5 месяцев назад

      Thank you! I loved the finish (on the top) in the first makeover too. And yes, it was meant to give you the allusion that there were many small drawers. People that are into crafts reached put because they loved the small drawers for storing paper. They were disappointed to find out they weren’t what they seemed. ☺️

    I think the first design did not sell because it looks as if there where a lot of seperate narrow drawers, which is great for storing paper or to sort tiny stuff or something. So it only draws in peoplo who want that but then it did not have it. I hope the new design will sell fast and easy. Love your approach on this situation. Great work!

    Out of curiosity, why do you use a Wagner Flexio now instead of your Earlex? I struggled with paint spitting and not getting a wide enough paint spray on two different Wagner Flexios but have much better luck with my Earlex 5500.

    • @aliferefurbished
      @aliferefurbished  5 месяцев назад

      Honestly, I have no reason for using either one. I love them both. It just seems like I use brands in seasons but not for any particular reason. Regarding your issues with Wagner, just make sure to clean the sprayer throughly, and it should be fine. I use mine A LOT.
