FREE Vintage Dresser Headed for the DUMP 😭 | Amazing DIY Painted Furniture Makeover
This FREE Dresser was Headed for the DUMP! I Ran into SO MANY Issues | DIY Furniture Makeover
Hey guys! Follow along to see how I make over this old dresser that was actually a two-piece hutch that I found on Facebook Marketplace. We'll show you how we prep the piece, remove the existing finish using chemical stripper, sand down the wood, do repairs, prime and paint using a paint sprayer, and finally, finish the walnut to really make it shine. I've got some good DIY tips and tricks in the video so I hope you’ll find them helpful. This furniture makeover definitely came with its challenges, but it was sure rewarding.
Despite the challenges, we were able to sell this piece off of Instagram stories in 1 day!
Products and tools I use or talk about in this video will be listed below :)

    What paint did you use and that was 1 coat what did you put on next?

    • @hollysgarage
      @hollysgarage Před dnem

      It was sherwin Williams super paint I think! But I did end up doing 3 full coats of that even though the coverage was this pretty good. Then I did a couple coats of polyurethane to seal

  • @kimzimmerman2492
    @kimzimmerman2492 Před 9 dny

    This was an outstanding redesign of the very old and very tired dresser. BTW it is about 40-50 years old I remember when that style came out it was pretty hot back in the 70’s 😂 You two always do such a terrific job and figuring out just the right paint color and where to use it, but this time I think you really shined in your efforts and outcome. It is outstanding! I love this piece and who knew what that dingy finish was hiding, and who knew it need your eyes to bring it out. Outstanding job! Oh yes and thanks for using the dowels to fill the old drawer pull holes it helps us learn as we follow along so that is a great hack to know instead of always doing Bondo.

    @RvrCityRenno314 Před 9 dny

    Your work is friggin awesome you’re my favorite furniture flipper. Do you use oil or water based poly? And do you coat your paint with spray on polyurethane as well?

    • @hollysgarage
      @hollysgarage Před 6 dny

      Thank you so much! I usually use a water based poly on painted surfaces but I’ll use oil based sometimes on wood surfaces

      @@hollysgarage thanks for the feedback! I’m a house flipper with a busted shoulder, so I am seriously considering doing some furniture flips to help supplement my income and satiate my artistic needs. Having a real estate license might help to find buyers as well. Keep up the fantastic work! I will continue to watch and be inspired!
