There's two types of people: the "paint everything" crowd and the "painting over wood is sacrilege" crowd. I'm just happy any time a piece is kept from a landfill for a while longer. If painting it keeps it in use another five years, and then someone buys it and restores it for another five years of use, that's ten years it wasn't in a landfill! This is a beautiful restoration and anyone who loves the natural wood look would be happy to have it in their home ❤

Exactly! Who cares so long as it keeps the piece in use. Plus, watching so many of these videos I’ve learned sometimes wood gets damaged to the point it’ll never be aesthetically pleasing even if it’s still very functional. I myself don’t have the skills to remake and replace those parts. I could manage painting them though. So there’s good reasons to enjoy both styles. I personally like a mix. Just brought my newly painted nightstand into my bedroom tonight! Mine was really beat up, damaged during a few moves. My husband’s was fine. I painted mine and left his. Everyone’s happy and it all still looks great together.

Some pieces it’s sad to see painted but all wood pieces aren’t created equal. Just because something is wood doesn’t mean it’s a quality piece. There are furniture pieces that aren’t well built and it’s not the end of the world if that pine 70’s piece is painted.

It's actually nice to see the reverse of these furniture flips. Everyone is painting furniture now. It's nice to see quality wood pieces Restored.

From what I can tell, even the repainters agree. It's just that a lot of salvaged furniture isn't real wood, or is just peeled veneer/ doesn't look good raw. When they get real wood, they don't seem to paint it, thankfully.

I think furniture looks better when painted. that way I don't think it's pretty and most people paint their furniture because they think like me

Love how practically everything used is salvaged from something, even down to sponges.

I love how you repeated the tapered rice grain shape of the new wooden handles that was found in the original handle. Speaking as a former art school student, It really ties everything together and makes the whole piece look more cohesive. I feel like the new piece would look really nice as a hutch for storing plates, cutlery, tablecloths, etc in a dining room

I have to say thank you for not putting a different coat of paint on this piece! Love natural wood and stains you can never go wrong with a nice dark stain!

There's so much to admire about this video, but what I appreciate especially is how resourceful you are! It's amazing to see how you repurpose scraps of wood from old pieces to sponges from chair cushions to even socks for polishing with beeswax! Thank you for sharing your creations in such detail!

Great job turning that mid century modern piece from the “Chateau Marmont Est 1927” to the country and time period where it came from.

Is there anyone else who finds them making a pointy little stick for the handles particularly satisfying

the fact that you used the belt sander with BARE hands but wore gloves for scraping the paint… but the anxiety watching that scene was worth the final result!! the woodworking is impressive once again🤩

Chalk paint is the bane of wooden furniture. You did a wonderful job!!

You can hear this piece sigh now that all that paint us gone!! Beautiful.

staining is my favorite part of any woodworking vid

It's funny how mid-century is back in fashion and suddenly everyone loves it again and hates the previous fashion of painted furniture. I think they both have their place.

I can watch this video all day lol

Beautiful! So glad to see you show the grain instead of painting it.

This worn out cabinet has been given new, beautiful life! Such a gorgeous result. I love that you incorporate salvaged pieces of other furniture for these projects, making good use of so many discarded pieces.

I love the two- toned stain you used. I think the color is amazing. Thank you for restoring this piece!

The handles. The wood grain and choice of stain is … oh my gosh..just beautiful. Man you’ve got some talent young man 👍🏼

I can physically hear this beautiful piece sighing with relief. What a top shelf job you did! Congratulations 🎊

And it's gorgeous!!! Absolutely love your work!!!

Wow that's astonishing. The stain you chose really makes the grain pop. That dresser is something anyone would be proud to have in their home now!

It can be good on really crappy furniture if done well, but anything that becomes a 'design trend' is likely to get overdone and ruined in a heartbeat. I mean hey, if I want old, worn-looking furniture, I'll just go to a yard sale or craigslist lol

Love the videography and staging with a natural setting, absolutely beautiful and highlights the piece and exquisite restoration. You brought it back to life.

I don't know how I got here but I'm not disappointed

One of the most beautiful tranformations I have seen. I hate it when people paint over a beautiful piece of wood furniture. Thank you for this.

That sponges from old cushions is clever idea! Well, don't let anyone tell you that you can't do magic. You turn garbage into treasures and art.

Excellent work, so enjoyable to see the beauty restored!

I love that you re-use so many materials for every step. This is how it should be done for everything!

You think you are a carpenter? You are nothing short of a wizard.

Absolutely gorgeous. The original craftsman would be proud of this restore. The handles are awesome. I would have bought a set but your solution made this a work of art! Preparation and skill are required for furniture restores. Painting chalk paint on a glossy surface, no matter what you’ve read, is always a bad idea. The finish will eventually lift. You probably saved this beautiful piece from a landfill. Thank you 🙏🏻 reuse/restore/repurpose! ♻️

That generous dose of paint stripper was Very Satisfying 👌

That's quite impressive. It didn't look like it was worth salvaging, but you've given it a new lease of life.

You are an artist AND a craftsman. Great work!

Pretty slick trick with the handles!!!! Great look!!!

I can't believe how gorgeous that wood was under all that crappy paint!

This is more like refurbishing then real restoration work. True restoration is all about keeping everything as original as possible.

Beautiful. You really picked the right stains to bring out the wood grain. It's so much classier than the chalk paint.

You really worked magic on this one, magnificent and skilful transformation. I love your use of redundant materials.

What a beautiful job.

That stain is so beautiful, it really made the wood grain pop!

This is lovely! I especially like how the wood grain comes out with that stain. 👍

Great attention to details and amazing restoration!!!!

That "Mr. Clean" wink was a nice touch.

You added a really lovely modern touch to a vintage piece and still retained its classic flavor. Thank you for the beautiful result and for helping a piece of history maintain its glory.

Thank goodness someone appreciates the value of great wood there are some things that should NEVER be painted and mid century modern walnut wood is one of those. Great refinish job.

It's elm, doll. But agreed. If restorable then it's best, but sometimes it is too technical to restore a damaged piece for most folks. In that case, paint is better than the landfill.

As you were making the handles I found myself saying, “well look at that!”.Your patients and creativity is beyond the pale!

As you were scraping that paint off the top surface, I could almost hear that beautiful wood take a big breath.

Your work and attention to detail is amazing! And your videos are fantastic! The editing is top-notch. I appreciate the fact that there are no voiceovers or music. It makes for a very calming, yet riveting experience. Excellent work!

When the shabby chic and farmhouse look was popular I knew it was only a matter of time before people started to undo the hideousness of that awful trend. Nice job, it looks so much better and classier!

I have so much furniture from grandparents that I'm wanting to restore. Not paint, restore. This has inspired me to do it even though it's a big job. I don't have all the fancy equipment but I have enough to do a good job. I didn't know a stain could be so beautiful, thank you.

Thank God the dreadful chalk-paint-everything phenomena is turning, I hope!! I've seen so many great pieces of furniture ruined. It's like the 60s when period features were ripped out of homes and now we're desperately trying to put them back!! Well done you!! I've subscribed!
