Welcome to A LIFE REFURBISHED! In this video, I take on the difficult task of updating this modern dresser with an outdated finish, not once, but twice!! I'll be explaining how and why it's important to remove wax or furniture salve from furniture that has previously been painted. Join me as I share a few tricks to bring this thrifted find back to life.

I can’t believe the original didn’t sell. That’s really really in style now. It looks a million times better than the black (no offense 😊)

That’s alright! I can’t believe it didn’t either. Many people inquired about it, but no takers. And the black one found a new home right away. 🤷🏻♀️
It will sell, people don’t seem to like color. I love color, it makes life happy. Love both ways.
I can’t choose one over the other; both are beautiful. But I’d probably pick the lighter one for my home.

You can’t go wrong with either one. But, like you said, it depends on the home.
I LOVE BOTH colors. Seriously, I can’t believe the light blue didn’t sell. It’s gorgeous. A bit Beachy, Nursery, minimalist, modern… all the things current and awesome. The Black is so striking and I can really see it in the modern day houses. For me, I would choose the 1st version! That pale Blue was so gorgeous and “clean” looking. I love the handles. I think you made them as good as they possibly could have ever looked.

I know! I couldn’t believe it either, honestly. I loved it! But, black always looks beautiful. 😊
I love both colors. The first is my favorite but I think the black will go with people’s decor.

I have to agree with you!!
I appreciate the safety info in the video, especially about acetone, gloves, masks, etc. I prefer the black, I feel your frustration on repainting a piece, it was beautiful before, but a little more specific to find a buyer. Great content!

Love the dresser both ways. I think the black is on point with current design style, and I would be surprised if the dresser doesn’t sell quickly.

I keep thinking that if I leave near the ocean or lake, the blue one would be PERFECT!! And for everywhere else, the black is perfect. 😁
Oh I love the dark color best. I think you will sell this quickly now. Beautiful work ❤

Lol love the caffeine joke. I loved the 1st color but can see how people would love it but hesitant to purchase. People are afraid of color. Neutrals I believe are here for most of this year black black black haha.

I love the light coloured. I'm shocked it didn't sell. I have two mcm tallboys thst haven't sold. One light coloured and one black and light wood. I'm going to redo them when it gets warmer here.

I was kind of surprised too! And perhaps if I waited a bit longer it would’ve. I’m surprised yours hasn’t sold either. Specially the black one!

Visually I love the light color. So soft and beautiful!!! I can see how the black will be a better seller as its the trend at this point and very versatile. Either way you always do such a lovely job 🤗

Thank you! And I agree with both of your statements. Lately, it seems like everyone wants to buy black! 😊
It's beautiful both ways, I'd be surprised if it doesn't sell. I think it depends on the market and the area. I live in South Florida and my preference is the light color. I think that would have sold quickly here.

That’s exactly what I think! The first color is so beautiful and soft. It would be perfect near an ocean, but honestly I think it could pass as a neutral. And I sure hope the black one sells! 😊

That’s another thing, I think if I had waited the right person would have come along and it would have sold. But, a part of me wanted to see it dressed in black.
I really liked the light version but hope the black sells! However, i would have made the whole base match the legs and pulls.
@aliferefurbished

So funny you say that! I thought about it just seconds after applying the black paint. I asked myself, "why didn't I just leave the entire base naked?" 🤷♀
The light color is beautiful, but it was narrowing down potential buyers due to the specific color. Had it been a sage green or one of the trendy one, it would have been easier. This black and light wood just pops, and is suitable for most interior spaces. I bet it will go soon.

It sold in less than 24 hours! I'm was ok keeping it a little longer knowing I had painted it with an unusual color. But, I think 6 months was long enough. ☺
Love the black. Thing that bothers me is the drawer handles don’t seem to line up straight. Paint looks great both ways tho!
Black is definitely better. Should sell quickly

I love the new color. The reason I didn't like the lighter color it would be hard to match to most furniture.

It’s definitely not as easy to match as black is! But once in a while I love trying different colors, even if pieces sit around a little longer.
