  • In this video I’m going to show you how I took this antique dresser that I picked up at auction and gave it a much lighter, brighter tan or beige washed wood finish.

    Fun fact, Barkeeper's friend is NOT an abrasive, but a mild acid cleaner made from RHUBARB and other vegetable waste! It's the natural Oxalic acid from the plants that does most of the cleaning without abrading. Who knew? The acid is what cleans the metal so well as it gets rid of the oxidation.

  • @clairewright8153
    @clairewright8153 Před rokem +62

    The finish is so soft, you’d just want to brush your hand over this piece of furniture. The finish is night and day. It’s 3.20am in Australia and your restoration makes not sleeping a little easier to bare.

    She shook her head a little ...
    and bit her lip -- "there's work ahead "
    It took the days she thought and then some ...
    Warm tea in hand and a restful few minutes ... let her admire the sueded
    glow ... soft and rich and so quietly different
    You saw the age but it shone with a new freshness ...
    She shook her head a little ...and bit her lip ... " I may keep this "...

    Really like all the details you go through on the videos. They are so informative, but not boring with too much detail.

I do furniture restore as a hobby and always looking for different techniques. Thank you for taking the time and sharing. I’ll be looking for new videos often. This piece turned out beautiful also.

    Perfect timing.
    I clean my house to your videos. It is just the right mix if doing and inspiration and someone also working while you do, and not too distracting but occupying thoughts halfway is enough. Just perfect.
    I feel like I'm learning a language in the background or something. And I play them a couple times and peek when I get curious or replaying can catch something I need to learn/see.

    I think it's very interesting. I mean that in a good way. It almost looks like bare wood, almost - perhaps because it's so soft and neutral. It feels like the finish is very wood forward. Great catch and fix on the side panel/drawer slides. Yay to Mr. Salvage for the assistance. I'm really glad you did the drawers as well. I find it so nice when the insides are loved up too.

    As others have commented, the resulting finish appears so fresh, visually soft, as if it would feel like an old chamois. Took true vision, and lots of elbow grease, to achieve that result. You continue to elevate your skills. Always appreciate that your style leans toward clean, simple (but not boring), classic.

  • @nancyanneberg403
