Looks like I’m in the minority here, as I thought that it was a relatively well-done Barbie-themed makeover. I’ve seen a lot worse! 😂 I am sure that whatever little girl had that dresser enjoyed it a great deal. Someone else might have enjoyed it in that condition for a while yet, given the Barbie-mania this summer! Still, as always you did a lovely job restoring it to its natural wood condition. Especially all those painted grooves! I would have given up in despair for sure. No need to apologize for the cricket sounds. It’s actually lovely to think you have that nature there while you work. It underscores how peaceful the work can be. Thanks for sharing, as always.

I think that the reason these older wood dressers and chests are not in demand is because they are usually in shabby, fixer upper, worn out condition. Most people do not want to do the work to bring them back and, unfortunately, the hours put into fixing them does not yield enough profit. So it has to be a labor of love for whomever decides to make them beautiful again.

Barry, words can’t express how much I enjoyed this restoration. Yes I found the Barbie👍 and I loved the cricket noise! I found it hilarious that just over a year ago I actually watched a man “restore” a dresser using nearly the exact same colours including the Barbie motif! (I wonder if it was the same piece)?🤔😂 Anyway, I am especially fond of your calm narration and exquisite editing. I live for the close ups and you never disappoint.

For me there can be a place for painting furniture. I know some that the materials its made from mean a restoration is not feasible but if a bit of paint means it lives on away from the dump (landfill) then that is a better option. For those like this that can be restored with a bit of imagination and skill then heck no leave the paint in the tin. Looked amazing once you had finished it. I would also say that for awhile that Barbie style made a little girl very happy I am sure so while not something I would do maybe the person that did that did not have the skill needed and this was something within their scope. Never judge someone's work without knowing the reason behind it.

Barry, as usual, a phenomenal job restoring this dresser! You changed a ruin into a masterpiece! I've no idea where, or to whom, you plan to donate it, but that piece would work fabulously in a foyer to store sweaters, coats, gloves, etc. and the mirror to "check yourself out" before leaving, in a dining room as a buffet, or, as it was originally meant, in a bedroom. Astounding transformation! You've given it back its pride!

I actually appreciate both the Barbie dresser and the restoration, the restoration is gorgeous look back to the original. However the Barbie dresser was clearly crafted with meticulousness and attention to detail, and was probably a piece that was actually commissioned rather than trying to just some amateur repaint a piece of furniture to fit a room.

It always amazes me how much personality you can see in some pieces just by removing the paint. I mean the paint job was actually pretty good, but the natural wood just makes this piece so much more special to me. I've been watching these restorations and woodworking videos for a while now, and it's always incredible to see the beautiful wood color coming out from underneath all that paint. I like painted pieces as well, it just depends on the piece and the condition. You sir did an amazing job here, I love the final product and I'm loving your channel. Keep up the great work, and best wishes from Brazil!

I love your attitude to painted furniture. If it meant someone kept a piece for longer and didn't send it to landfill, then it's worthwhile painting. It is lovely to see them restored though.

I like the different shades of brown and grey in this - lovely work. I agree with you about keeping the wood looking as natural as possible. I've seen people put a dark stain on beautiful walnut - should be illegal!

I love how y’all restore a beat up piece of furniture to its former glory and at the end are like: “it’s far from being perfect” meanwhile the piece looks like it came directly from the set of The Crown series 😅😅😅

Even though this was a learning project for you, you still saved it from the certain doom of a landfill with that color combination. Someone will be a very happy camper to have a restored dresser with mirror. Your choices of background music were quite nice - soothing with a zen feeling. Thank for another visit to your shop, and cheers from Oklahoma!!!

I like the colour you achieved; the dresser looks really good now, and it has regained some of its dignity. I hope that if the new owner repaints it, they use a more sympathetic colour scheme.

I saw detail sanding tools that I have not noticed in the past, as well as a lesson in persistence! Great final results. I enjoyed the cricket serenade, they sound autumnal and cozy at the same time. Bravo!

I love the beautiful 'old' real wood furniture. I have pieces from my grand parents that make my heart sing. I still take care of this furniture as my grandmother always did. Such memories!
