Who would have thought this beautiful wood was under that old finish! The gold edging is a very nice (and smart) design touch. ⭐️ I’m glad you honored the old knobs.

That’s the original factory finish.

It's hard to believe that this chest of drawers was hidden under that hideous lemon yellow paint. I love the stain you chose, so warm. I like that you saved the "fancy" knobs - they are so unique and really are like a statement piece of jewelry on a beautiful dress. As always, I just love your attention to detail. You are my favorite furniture saver. Have a wonderful week.

Simply STUNNING!! LOVE the gold accents! I had NO idea that drawer hardware would actually work. WELL DONE!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Somehow you manage to get the perfect balance in your editing... ! and the gold trim makes the 2 larger knobs look intentional rather than awkward. Excellent idea!

Wow the dresser looks amazing, you put so much work into every item you transform.

I can’t explain it, but your work inspires me so much! Obviously not just me, your channel has exploded, so talent isn’t outdated yet 🥰

Beautiful restoration. You are an artist.

I've been binge watching your channel for the past couple of days, and in all of them, there has only been one that I haven't thought, "That would look great in my bedroom/living room/ kitchen..." I'm just not into Moroccan brass tables, I guess. Your work is amazing, your voice is very soothing, and I love seeing all the kitties. Keep up the good work!

Finally!!! Someone who knows how to spray paint with a rattle can. Bravo!

This one is so special. It turned out stunning and has stories to tell. The knobs are placed on the small drawer at the perfect height for reaching while standing in front of a mirror. This is the place where a lady will place her makeup, jewelry, and lingerie. She'd remove her blush and lipstick as well as her celluloid comb and silk stockings from the drawer as she began to get ready. I wonder if a mom or grandmother embroidered the knobs for the piece and presented it to her as a wedding gift. I'm so glad you decided to preserve the knobs because they definitely belong to the history of the piece so others can imagine their own idea of its past 😊.

That little lady made you work! And those embroidered knobs are right up my design alley. Looks absolutely lovely, Jay. And the bonus of fur managers and warrior assistant made it that much more wonderful to watch! LOL

I absolutely love those ornate handles!!! I cannot wait to see them cleaned up!!!!!

That look's a whole lot better than it did before. So glad you saved the petit point knobs, those take a lot of work to make something small look beautiful. What a lovely piece of furniture now!

So far, this is the only restoration you’ve done that I don’t completely like. The knobs just killed it for me. The woodwork is wonderful.

Whoa that was a hard one. But your persistence and hard work always pays off. Loved at first site on those knobs! And of course the final project as well.

Gorgeous dresser. The repairs you did with veneer & the oak on the leg were excellent.

I truly appreciate your labor intensive work on this piece. I can't imagine the hours you put into it. It's no longer an ugly duckling

WOW!!! Absolutely STUNNING!!! I love the gold trim and the knobs that you put on the dresser. The color of the wood looks absolutely perfect!!! ❤❤❤

What a beautiful job you did! This is such a nostalgic piece with the 2 embroidered handles. The gold trim is lovely also.

Painting the strips of molding is a genius idea! It really sets off the hardware, and I’m so glad that you kept the embroidered knobs. I know this is a stretch, but perhaps the fancier knobs were used for a lady’s lingerie drawer? They look so feminine. I’m glad you didn’t over darken the wood.

Another amazing restoration!

The back board has a purpose, with skirting boards furniture does not always touch the wall at the top, the back board means it will always be flush with the wall, and with filling that gap, it prevents dirt and dust gathering down the back of the piece, now you know 🙂While you were sanding I already had that piece refinished in my head, with the pretty knobs I thought a really pale nude/pink, it would of been lovely in a little girls room. I repurposed furniture for decades, and pretty pink pieces for nursery's always a winner.

You realise that you cannot sell this dresser…….you’d never get your money back on it! I’ve never seen so many hours put into a single, inexpensive, plain piece! I wondered what type of wood it was.
