Awesome job, Emily. It looks gorgeous!

Nice job

I'm sorry I don't like the finish. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. I seem to be in the minority.

Beautiful

Oh this is so great. Wonderful work on this beauty.

Retired English teacher. The verb is to prime. The noun primer. (Sorry, I can’t help myself.) Any newbies out there who have found dictionary definitions of primering as an appropriate use of this word?

Agree with the others, thank you for not slapping paint on it. It takes talent and professionalism to restore and refinish. Paint is just a cover up.

It's a beautiful restoration.

Whenever I have seen anyone else popping on some veneer over laminate they have ALWAYS sanded the surface. I think not doing so was a mistake. It could pop up on your customer years down the road if it hasn't already before you sold it. You are right about the fumes of the contact cement -- wow! I never use a respirator for stain, paint or poly, but that stuff is bad. Definitely should be outside if at all possible. The fumes were even deadly the next day with the garage door open after the small boards I put together were supposedly dry. There was not laminate on the side? There was wood there? Did you peal it off? I got a laminate top and sides just below the top running all the way around. The laminate will have to be covered with the veneer in my case. I never considered removing it.

Your videos are great and would be so much better if there was not constant talking. Talking talking. Sorry if that sounds rude. Its so relaxing and enjoyable when its quiet.

This was an amazing make-over.

You made this look easy, great work.

Tried this restoration procees & it took about a MONTH. I'd do it again, but TONS of work!!

Great advice. Thanks

This is a great transformation.

Wow great work. Fantastic

Nicely done.

It’s a nightstand, not a “table.”

How fun starting the video backward took me a few times reviewing and relooking at the strips popping off the front to get that the film was in reverse😅

WOW Can’t believe that originally the manufacturer used tinted lacquer to finish the piece, hiding that beautiful wood grain and details! It doesn’t make sense to me but so happy you found this and restored it to better than new!

Beautiful! I like how u recondition the insides as well!

Emily, this is absolutely amazing. Truly. I love it. Especially the center drawer that you stripped of veneer. It is SO beautiful. I would love to have this beautiful piece. It's a gem.

My mom used a comb when she repaired a piece with putty and stain.

Angie sent me here : )

Found your channel following the MCM Challenge playlist. Beautiful work! 😊

Lovely.

❤❤❤❤

I love how used the screw driver with one hand and unscrewed the other side with your fingers at the same time!

In a lot of these vids I never see a pair of end tables refinished. Don't people want a pair? I would think one lonely end-table would be hard to unload no matter how well it was restored. It won't match the other one they already have or will have to obtain from somewhere else. I would like to see someone make a matching pair out of two similar but not exactly the same end-tables just by putting an identical finish and hardware on it. I would buy that pair! Same with his and her (or his and his in my case) dressers.

Beautiful restoration. When shortening a bolt, screw on a nut above the cut. After removing burrs from the cut, remove the nut to dress the threads.

Wow amazing. I like the new drawer pulls better than the originals. Well done!

I don't like those drawer handles, but I don't know the exact rules set down for the "challenge." I definitely would have switched them out for something different. This still turned out stunning! GREAT WORK!!

Ну очень классный результат вашей работы.Выглядет очень круто.Просто замечательно ❤❤❤❤

Beautiful work!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Oi André tudo bem então eu pobre antes vc vai estalar o acesso porque estou programando André a compra mais só quando eu tirar te passo o Pix ou no cartão ou no boleto ok me aguarde e vai funcionar se não quero ser mais pobre

Very pretty! I can't believe how you brought them into the 21st century. Those blond laminated pieces are the ones most in need, for sure.

So informative! Thanks 😉

New subscriber after watching only a few minutes of this video. The respect you gave the previous 'artist' was amazingly kind. Bless you! And then of course, I finished the video, watching your journey with this piece. WOW! BIG hugs from Texas! 🤠🤠

Looks lovely, great job

I love the new veneer! It completely transformed the look, and it matched the top so nicely. The refurbished dresser is just beautiful, and I love the rich tone of the wood. I wasn’t a fan of the old hardware, and I’m glad you decided to paint the piece you kept black to match the new pulls. The black plastic one was nice, but it looked a little shabby with the interesting hexagonal pulls that you chose for the small drawers.

Beautiful transformation Thank you for the steam/iron tip

What a remarkable job you did! WOW had no idea it would turn out so wonderful. I honestly thought those cups holding the drawer pulls were plastic so when you tried to save them it was a puzzle, I am so glad you saved them it makes the piece, and with you doing the restoring it turned out fabulous. You are so talented, thank you also for talking us through your thoughts, what and why you are doing a particular treatment. It truly helps us viewers understand the difficulties that can happen with pieces you are restoring.

ma è bellisimo, auguri, ben fatto

I'm half way through watching the MCM videos but are you the only female participating? If so that is shocking. You did a fantastic job. It was a lovely piece of furniture to begin with but your transformation has made it beautiful. I loved how you applied the filler - with your finger. I've noticed that the men use a tool. Like you I also use my fingers when applying filler (mainly on walls when I've removed a shelf and the rawl/wall plugs) as it applies better. A great project.

Beautiful work there, well done on resurrecting this piece! Have subscribed for more!

This is absolutely gorgeous!!!
