I’m not sure why people complain about painted furniture. Painted furniture has been around for hundreds of years, to each his own. I personally love both painted and stained furniture. I’ve got both in my home. You have a good eye and your furniture always sells. You’re doing something right. Keep up with the amazing transformations. As always, God bless.

Nothing wrong with paint except on mid century. Paint away on whatever you like... But caution, it does often devalue a piece if it is antique. However, trash to treasure always impresses me. Especially painting items left in the street.

@jtrain5615 6 ай бұрын

I agree. They act like "wood" is sacred. A lot of times the wood in question is very cheap grade and looks way more elegant when panted.

Because some people like to respect the original, when it's considered a piece of art. It'd be like painting over a monet with a cheap DIY. Also, I suppose for the same reason that one doesn't drink wine traight out of the bottle. For the money that she pays for those pieces though, I doubt any of it is of real value or made out of rare wood. Personally, I really like what she did with that buffet.

I love it. I'm all about bringing solid wood pieces into the 21st century. It's what this generation likes and you just can't buy well crafted, solid wood pieces in your basic furniture stores anymore. We currently live in a throwaway society and the younger generation gravitate towards particle woods. I'll take quality and turn it into something beautiful for any generation. Great job!!

This is an amazing make over. I have this piece and the whole bedroom set. It was my parents’ and it is 63 years old. It was made in the US by the White Furniture Company and was very expensive. You really cannot duplicate the quality of their furniture and refinishing is a wonderful way to modernize quality pieces. My set is the original fruit wood finish and I had it refreshed to the same color about 23 years ago. The decorator who helped me said to never get rid of the set as it could never be duplicated because of the workmanship and quality.

LL, the hardware seemed to have a disconnect. You left off that top drawer back escutcheon. I would add it back personally, so those wouldn't look like bad replacements. VERY minor detail, and great job as usual. Props for thinning out your stain, you can always add, but hard to subtract. 150 is kind of a lot, but that is very good furniture. Emphasize that fact when selling; "very high quality". It kinda looked like Pecan wood, IDK. New, that was top shelf furniture.

Yep I was thinking pecan also. Very nice piece. Had a makers mark but not familiar with it. I have it listed for a high price..but it’s so pretty I think it’s worth holding out for!

Well, I loved the rich Carmely color of the piece, and the burled wood detail around the drawers before the flip, and it was sad for me to watch that disappear.. that being said, I really like your choice in colors, although I think I would have gone with a slightly warmer shade for the body. I love the light gel stain you used on the drawers, but I didn't like the painted doors with the drawers. I think I may have liked them a little better in the same stain as the drawers. I loved that you reused the original handles, and left the extra ornamentation off on the top drawers, just using the knobs, it looks more sleek, but, I think I would have liked that to be done on the doors as well, so that there was a little more continuity.... Overall, although I had a few disagreements with design choices, the piece turned out beautifully!

I guess I could be called a traditionalist. I'm not a fan of dual colored furniture. One for all or not at all. I'd like to see the drawers the same color as the buffet top and sides. Or maybe the buffet top and sides matching the drawers. You put a lot of hard work into this project and it's clear you are experienced. I applaud your vision. Someone will love this item in their dining room.

I liked what you did with the knobs. I like it when you work on the clunky 80's stuff. You always seem to do those justice. But I feel that anyone working on mid century pieces has to know what they are doing as most are now antiques. Good luck, have fun, and make lots of money.

I think it looks great. I’m 65 and a retired decorative painter. I started out doing hand painted furniture and it snowballed into doing faux finishes and murals in peoples homes. Certainly a fabulous antique shouldn’t be painted in my opinion- if it ain’t broke , don’t fix it. But by the same token, some pieces really lend themselves to painting especially if they’re too distressed, gouged or in need of repair. They are still salvageable. Some pieces are just “Meh” and a pop of color literally makes them pop into a show stopping piece. Paint is not your enemy. I put it on my face in the form of makeup and believe me- I look so much better!😂 Jeep up what your doing. Early Americans and many European cultures have been painting furniture for ages- and it’s beautiful.❤

Do you have to use a hazardous waste dump for the stripped varnish, paint brushes etc.? Just curious. Again, love the work you do.

I personally have no issue what so ever painting furniture. I restrict it to out dated or ugly damaged pieces myself. The finishes are to many to mention. Often its up cycling and saving furniture from land fill. This tired old thing you have just literally saved is another beautiful example.

I have a dining room table that needs the top to be refinished. I sanded the top to bare wood. Do I have to do the same with the legs? Or can I just touch up the scuffs with the stain? The plan is to stain the piece to original color a dark Jacobean.
