When my cousin was engaged, she bought old furniture to refinish. I helped her strip layers of old paint from a dresser that had a curved front similar to yours. When we got it stripped down, we found it was mahogany wood & had been stored in a warehouse in Savannah, GA in 1904.

I’m 75 and have painted lots of furniture when younger. When I saw that lavender shimmer with glass I was sure glad it wasn’t me redoing this piece of furniture. You did an awesome job. It is beautiful and classy. Soon as my new studio is completed I’m getting back to painting furniture after a long illness. I’m excited after watching you bring the dresser back to life. But I definitely won’t be tackling a piece like your ugly duckling. Thanks for your inspiration.!💕😃👍

Maybe the blocks to keep the drawers from closing all the way was to keep the little princess from smashing fingers?

@Aubergine1941 10 ай бұрын

I thought the same thing. They wanted to prevent a little one from hurting him/herself. The glass was covered with glue. Probably didn't cut.

Amy you are such a pro! Your ugly duckling was definitely the ugliest of all the ducklings to begin with and i was so worried that glass wouldnt come off. You are so talented and highly skilled. Look at how amazing it turned out. I love everything about it. Thank you so much for joining in on the challenge. Its a stunner!

@lindap9079 11 ай бұрын

This is probably the most transformed transformation ever. I applaud your perseverance. I don't know how anyone could sell (maybe give away, but not sell) a dresser in such awful condition. Again, good for you to see the vision through to its beautiful conclusion.

Shows what patience can do! It’s beautiful! It’s also interesting how paint can turn out looking different after it’s dried. The flowers are such a beautiful addition to the painted piece. The top does look like butter, so smooth!

@natalieelisabeth5767 11 ай бұрын

Never in my life- the glass. Omg, the glass. Girl, I don’t know how you didn’t Hulk out on this piece! Let me start off by saying, this piece is absolutely stunning now! But, your perseverance should win you this on it’s own. I kinda felt watching you do this, that it really got to the essence, imo, of what it often takes to really pull of these transformations. In my experience, there’s more times then not when a piece throws you a curve a ball (although this takes the cake😂) and trying different things without giving up is everything. How you brainstormed on getting that glass off was awesome. Great work!!

@coinkydink3984 11 ай бұрын

The only reasons I can think that the drawers don't close is either they made a plant stand out of the dresser, drawers and all... or they used it as a cattery, a place for cats to climb on and sleep in. 😸

The pulls are perfect and the green you chose is such a nice deep rich green. This piece could go with a few styles , dark academia, Victorian, eclectic and a few others. Just a beautiful piece ❤👏🏻👏🏻
