5 Simple Tips to Modernize Outdated Furniture and Get Shocking Results

Never trash good quality or in good condition hardware. Crafters love to buy those and you never know when you'll need it. store all handwear from the same piece in it's own bag, then store all the bags in 1 place to find easier later. Plus in decants those handwear handles may be in style once again.

I'm nearly 60 years old, woman who is learning how to do projects alone and relay heavily via YouTube for all the great step by step tutorials. I'm so glad I found yours.

Nothing is more Beautiful than natural Wood, every piece is unique, not another like it in the World

As a beginner, I love how you show all steps for transforming outdated furniture into beautiful pieces. I love how you show every step of the process in a easy to follow and to do. Thank you for teaching me and helping me with my new hobby 😊

The dresser/credenza is an often-utilized piece in video makeovers. It makes a versatile and functional piece to incorporate into a room's decor. Your choice of color here is quite contemporary and should sell quickly. (Trashing the removed hardware is a thing too frequently done in a disposable economy, but these could instead be bagged and donated to a Habit for Humanity Restore location. There is someone who is looking for such items for their own restoration project.)

What a terrific quality update! So nice to see someone who does something other than the normal total chalk paint coverup. I have just updated a couple of dresser and went with a gel stained top along with painted drawers. Love the fact you are homeschooling your children. Congrats!

I NEVER thought about removing the additional wood pieces! BRILLIANT! ❤️

This dresser is SO beautiful and is the style and colors that make me happy; I love the cool colors of the beach look. I’m just back from my hometown where I unexpectedly lost my mother.😢 I now have a house full of beautiful pieces of furniture that have been in the family and many are well over 150+ years and hold so many memories. I cannot fathom selling them all, especially the beautiful buffet. I can perfectly picture it done in a way similar to the one in this video. I just can’t bare the thought of selling it. Thank you for sharing your talents and visions for people like me. God bless 💕

Thanks for showing us 'newbies' how easy it can be to modernize an old outdated piece (which are a "dime-a- dozen" in my area!"). My favorite part is removing decorative pieces on each side. I would have never thought, or even known, you could do that. Thanks so much for all you do!

This dresser turned out absolutely beautiful! You saved a very ugly, old dresser that would have gone to the dump in alot of cases. You are creative and thoughtful. Thanks for this channel! You're doing a great thing!

I have the before version of this dresser in my bedroom, actually the entire set. We bought it new when we were first married in the 1980s. I’ve been wanting to replace it for a long while - so happy to watch this and see how it could look. Your instructions are clear and give me the confidence that I can do it myself, so thank you!

I use to have this exact same dresser. Given to myself and hubby for a wedding gift. The entire bedroom suite!! I loved watching the entire transformation!! New subscriber here!!!!!

You present these videos in such an easy way for even a beginner like me to follow! Thank you for being real with us!! Beautiful makeover!

I love the tip to use plastic wrap over the stripper to keep it from dying out. Love your channel and all the inspiration you give! Keep it up.

Just in time to refinish my disabled daughters bedroom set. It’s old and all wood and I originally purchased it for $375 at a resale shop. I could never have anything as nice as the one I’m going to refinish. Thank you so much for your encouragement. I’ve been procrastinating because I wasn’t sure where to start and thought it was going to be more messy. I’m so excited!!😊

That dresser came out really nice! It looks so light. The before piece made me feel as though you'd need 2 or 3 people to move it and the end result gives the impression that one could move it around. LOL, amazing what paint and a the removal of just one feature can do. Nice Job!

This was just an amazing transformation! I love the light wood finish juxtaposed with the neutral gray shade! Thanks for mentioning that mineral spirits were needed to de-activate the stripper...didn't know that. I'm a real fan of your channel!

What i like best is how your tips are so practical and do-able. Oftentimes other channels offer suggestions that are so complicated they don't make any sense or selling you expensive tools or products to adopt. I love how you have both feet in the real world of furniture flipping and are sharing your hard earned experience advice with us, for free!!!

You have inspired me. Your explanations are so helpful. This dresser is beautifully updated and transformed. Exactly what I have even searching for. My entire suite is so similar and I have been wanting to update it for ages. Now I feel I’m ready! Thank you!

The dresser turned out just beautifully! I currently own the "before" version of that dresser!
