Dealing with a FLIPPING FAILURE. Redoing my own work, hoping to make it more sellable.

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I thought it was so cute! The 80's tv stand that I converted to a modern nursery nightstand just won't sell. I could let it ride awhile longer...but I think instead I'll redesign my own redesign, and see if I can come up with something a bit more sellable...

    I’m sorry you had to do so much work, but I think it’s a triumph! Im guessing many of us have pieces at home that are painted, and it’s hard to see that piece in a different way…but this really helps show how drastic just paint colour can change a piece. It doesn’t have to be in dire need of a new look, to give it a whole new look. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    I thought the 1st version was darling. Loved the light wood, and light blue combo. The second version turned out great too. Maybe more on par with the younger generations likes. I bet it sell quick. I would have chosen the 1st. It was fun to see it change so much. Just shows how much you can change a piece with paint!

    I really liked the nursery table.😢. But, you do what you have to do. I did like the bar chest also, but not quite as much. I have lived with dark walnut furniture for too many years, so any wood that is even close to that is too dark for me. But, that is just me. This piece is also very nice. I’m sure this will sell-bars are very much in style. I do like your color mixture. It is right in style for those MCMs. You have very good taste in wallpaper, I must say! I love both of your choices! All in all, I think you did a great job, as always.

    I do believe Drea has gotten more creative in her "encouragement." LOL That was hysterical. I loved the nursery side table, honestly. So sad that it didn't sell 😢 Gotta admit I was a little skeptical of the bronze color as well. But it did turn out, just as you said. Love the wallpaper and those retro-look casters! I wonder what the piece would have looked like if you had filled in those inset "pulls" and replace them with a metallic knob or something. But that would have been a lot of Bondo (and probably a lot of curing time). Well done, entertaining, and educational, as usual. Cheers! -S

    No failure in art! What have we learned from Bob Ross?? 😊 I have been incredibly stubborn; I REFUSE to redo a piece, unless of course I see a way to improve it (spots I may have missed, finishing details I didn't know before, etc) so sometimes it takes 3+ years to sell. But it always DOES! Just waiting for the right customer to find me. In the meantime I live with my "failures" as art in my own home! Luckily I'm not counting on this as my main income; otherwise I wouldn't have this luxury! Love what you did!

    I liked both color schemes and papers. Your custom color looked great. For me, the problem is the piece itself. You can't hide that clunky 80's style and weird doors no matter how hard you work (and you did work hard!) and I suspect that is what is making it a tough sell. Thanks for being honest and being willing to reimagine.

    The bronze tone paint has a nice shimmer to it that with the smoothing out of the seams in the top and sides makes the piece look almost like it's finished in some kind of leather or metal. I think the overall look hits more demographics/ is more marketable and the stain on the doors makes it pop and feel more modern. So I think it's a win. If the wallpaper application for the shelves is a current trend (and easily reversible) I see why you did tnat. Fingers crossed it moves quickly as I can sure see it i use as a nightstand or side table. (it would also make a great stand for a printer in a home office, by the way).

    I think filling the gaps with bondo elevated the quality of this piece. The nursery version was cute but, since my need for baby furniture ended decades ago, I like this grown up version better. I LOVE the color. I am not a fan of the wall paper, but that is not a criticism. Different people like different things. I truly do like the cart. Both versions were win-win.
