Piece of JUNK left out in the rain but I sold it in 12 hours!!

Using the nails to give the bondo something to grip to is genius!!!! I will definitely be adding that step. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

The foot you fixed does look amazing. I’m happy this piece stayed out of the landfill and now will live on as a beloved piece in its new life. Great job! It was in horrible shape when you got it, you transformed it.

I don't know anyone who will work so hard on a project. I am amazed by your patience

I'm SOOOO encouraged because EVERY project I do I go though the SAME thing. My hubby always reminds me, "You do this EVERY time. Just let go and have FUN!". It looks GREAT.

Amazing video, five stars for ingenuity, perseverance & up-cycling. Great job I learned a lot!

So glad you were able to save this beauty, and bring her to life so magnificently! I love when you do the hot glue trick! So satisfying!

WHAT AN ANTIQUE!!!!!!!!!! WONDERFUL!!!!!!

thank you for showing all the steps and mishaps along the way. i love the final look!

This distressed look works for some people. Glad you were able to sell it.

You nailed this project!! What a gorgeous transformation for a trunk that was literally treated as "junk". It was amazing to see how light the wood is now and how the painting techniques you applied, changed the trunk's personality making it more versatile as décor. It is so rewarding to watch you save pieces from the landfill, not just for our earth, but for the sheer joy of revaluing something that was thought to be a lost cause. You have the awesome ability to assess the structural bones and massage the design until you bring the essence of the piece to the surface. It's so healing, to watch the repairs. I have a serious appreciation for the way you are willing to go beyond what's comfortable, and tackle processes, like wood bleach. You've made me feel brave to step outside my own comfort zone, because the results are truly worth it. This is one of my favorite pieces of all time! ❤

I love that crusty, old faded mottled look. It turned out so well. The stamps peek out perfectly and the colours are great. Your repair of the damaged foot is amazing too. The person who thought of that trick deserves a medal.

someone's going to be so happy to have a cedar chest

I enjoy all the useful information u give thru the whole process. Saves so much pain for the rest of us lol. Thank u.

This turned out so nicely. Imagine it was going to go into the dumpster and now it’s going into a home to be used and loved. Really like how you share your creative process, the ups and downs of it all. Very interesting ❤

Love how you explain everything to us the students. Thank you

very much appreciated that you are showing the difficulties you encountered and how to overcome;in reality, restoration is not without problems

This project was labor intensive. You totally were on your game. Loved the video, thanks for showing the steps. I enjoyed the way you explained everything ❤ Thanks for telling us the terrific news about the sale

And that is a Sarah piece! Textured, antiqued, artistically messy( a huge compliment because it is sooo very hard to get it right.). This piece is what sets you apart and makes you special in my furniture world. Only you can give pieces, textured “old world” charm. Bravo!!!

This is an amazing transformation and I especially love that you saved it from the landfill!

Simply amazing! That's what I call a total transformation. Good for you!
