Restoration is absolute amazing, but the type off furniture is not my cup of tea !!! Never the less it is showing so much craftmenship and that is the biggest compliment you can ever get !!!!
Not only a strong craftsman, also a true artist.
That’s one thing that stands out to me about this channel; the creativity & variety of pieces
Wow! That turned out fantastic! A lot of people would have just removed the veneer and painted it, but this is sooooo much better! This will stand the test of time. Great job.
Finally a furniture flipper with some skill and expertise!
Not just sanding and painting with expensive hobby paint.
Subscribed immediately.
While watching this video, I thought, "no way is this going to work". Blinds, veneer issues, stripper problems, damaged piece?? And then boom! Viola...simply incredible, stunning piece. This was so satisfying to watch. Thank you for putting this video together and posting it. You are a true artisan.
🙌🏼 thank you Julie!

It was art deco, but now it's ART DECO! The legs are a perfect touch. And the wooden blinds, I appreciate how far out of the box you're willing to go.
thank you Laura ;-)
Brilliant.
Can come to my house anytime.
Using blinds was genius.

Fantastic very Intuitive.
Love it. Beautiful!
You are ingenious! To repurpose those wood blinds was so impressive! I have tremendous respect for your artistic talent!!
You made the old girl proud to be of use again. Great job.
This has got to be the most imaginative, professional make over I've seen to date, this piece is amazing and I would definitely make room for it in my house. 👌
So kind 🙌🏻
@@Flippingdrawers Most channels tell you about and link products used in the description. Will you please do this? I’m really interested in how you mixed the color with the finish. I really love what you did here! Thanks for the video.
@@FlippingdrawersJust imagine all the stories this dresser could tell! Maybe it once spent 17 years in a warehouse, used by a clerk for papers and hiding liquor bottles for on the job sips or a housewife in a 9th floor apartment between 1926-1951...
What you’ve done here is stunning. The hardware really compliments the Art deco design of the original piece
Wow, just.... Wow!!! A master craftsman at the top of his game letting peek over his shoulder as he works. That was truly amazing. Your finished project is spectacular.
You truly have a love of restoring furniture and the patience that goes along with it. From the before pictures I would have probably just set fire to it.😞 Wonderful job and transformation.
Your knowledge of wood, tools, an stain is astounding.I'm sitting here just in awe of your work. Your an artist !
My exact thoughts! Such talent and knowledge of his craft.
You’re very kind
Yes! Exactly what I was thinking too 😵💫🥸🤩
@@Flippingdrawers If U have same issue again, try applying the stripper (generous layer over the surface) then cover tightly with cellophane/plastic kitchen wrap. Let sit one hour and test. Covering the stripper allows it to bake thru thick veneer and saves loads of sanding on old pieces. Hope this helps ;) cheers !
PS.. we use the same 🐝 wax. Love it also
Exquisite! You can make the most humble cast-off look like an exotic treasure from foreign travels. Love it. I enjoy your frugal use of resources; just shows that brains and design sense are more important than money. Keep up the good work!
This is a very kind comment! I appreciate it ;-)
Wow! I just found you channel, and watched because the title caught my attention. I was intrigued at the thought of using the wooden blinds. I have to say, I was blown away. I watch alot of people making older, beat up furniture pieces look good again. BUT YOU ARE IN A WHOLE DIFFERENT CATEGORY! I so admire and respect the way you lovingly touch every inch of the furniture you are restoring. Your attention to detail is like none of the other people I have been seeing on youtube. It's really nice to watch you give your pieces a new chance at being beautiful and loved once again. So glad I found your channel, I am a huge fan already.
Thank you so much Sharon! I’m very grateful for the time you took to express your appreciation . Glad you enjoyed it and welcome to my channel 🤗
I could have written this 😂👍🏼🌼
It has gone from war time budget range dresser to Art Deco. The new legs gives it a classic art deco vibe. Lovely.
Love the use of wooden blinds, very resourceful!
Glad you like it !
I watch a few furniture repair / flip channels. I came over from Mad City This Art Deco flip is maybe one of the best ones I have seen. Ingenius to up cycle the wooden blinds! This piece is just gorgeous!!!
wow ! thank you ;-) say hi to Barry from me 😉
So obvious you love what you do and do what you love. The more you do this the more creative and resourceful you become. Your pieces are beyond gorgeous. You make anything old, tired and just about ruined, come to life even better than the original. Missed your kitty friends this episode 😊😺
I Love your vision of what this poor piece of furniture could become. Love the transformation!
This is beyond incredible! This is next level insanely good. I’m pretty sure my jaw was dropped the entire video. Thank you. 😍
ha ha thank you Tanya! you are too kind mate
Very "Nautical Looking" . I can imagine 🤗 that piece of furniture in an fine Furniture Store here in Las Vegas Nevada.
You really out did yourself!!!!
Sincerely Yours 🤠 Mr Severance,
"The Cake 🎂🥳🎈🎉 Man",
"World 🌎 Cruiser"&"Succulent Collector".
Mine too😁
Y'all too?! ⁉That's my usual position the whole time I'm watching *aniything* Jay is lovingly giving a new life to!😃
The hardware and legs are stunning, and using the wooden blinds was brilliant!
Better than the original. The attention to detail is one of your many strengths. Again, an excellent outcome.
My grandmother had that exact dresser and I always loved it. It seemed so glamorous.
It is actually a vanity to sit at and do your makeup and fix your hair. I had almost the exact one as a girl
When you said that you were attaching blinds to the drawers, I thought ...no way is that going to look good. Boy was I wrong. Somehow it all works so well together. Great imagination and job well done!
ha ha thank you ;-)
Your creative problem solving is second to none!!! And your patience and attention to detail is amazing. Very inspiring!!
Thank you so much 😀
My goodness! WOW WOW WOW what a beauty you've done to this old dresser lady. The handles and legs of the dresser are a decoration that highlights the beauty hidden beneath all these years of neglect. Magnifico!!
Your skills, experience, professional level tools compliment your vision of what these old found pieces of furniture can be. Thank you for sharing your creativity. Inspiring really!
You took a neglected piece and made it to a one of a kind piece,while thinking out of the box and make it even better. Gorgeous piece of Art!! Deco
That’s amazing. I’m impressed in the amount of work that you put into the details. The creativity with the inlay, the legs, and especially the blinds is inspirational. I’m also quite impressed that you did the inside. Of all the furniture artists that I’ve watch - you are the ONLY one that refinished the inside. And I’m always talking to the video asking the artists if they really expect me to put my belongings into the drawers or doors? Thank you.
Those stained blinds capture the essence of that piece's place in history; it all looks so well put together. Just beautiful! (I think, from having watched several of your videos, that you love the furniture from the Deco decades and era as much as I do!)
Thank you so much! And yes I do 😊
Wow! The amount of work it took to save this beautiful piece! I would never thought about using the blinds. Genius!
You are such a talented artist. I love Art Deco and so many times I see pieces that need loving restoration like yours. Thank you for preserving this beauty. Your attention to detail and creative use of materials is sunshine to my heart! 💜
I totally agree!! What a beauty you turned this sweet little piece into. Thank you for saving these.
That is gorgeous! So clever to use the slats from the blinds
thank you Karen !
I'm REALLY glad that was water haha! Brilliant initiative using the blinds, bravo.
Thank you 😊
I would buy that piece in a minute! It's gorgeous. I loved watching you use all your tools. So good to see a REAL Craftsman!
Thank you Cheryl🥰 glad you enjoyed it
Hey friend. Tip for you I learned from an old-time furniture restorer: When stripping furniture, after you apply stripped, put wax paper over the stripper. This forces the stripper into the wood, and fumes will be less evaporated. You will save time, effort, and product. This tip is worth GOLD. Good luck. Nice Video. Great outcome.
You are a master of woodworking and thinking out of the box using the blinds! Just stunning piece!
Wow, thank you!
I love that you re-used the blinds. We all need to learn to repurpose things.
Wow!!! Your creative imagination is mind-blowing! U gave this dresser a whole new beautiful life ❤
So unique now. Love the way it's been sort of modernised but still has that whole deco vibe. The new handles are fab. I didn't really like the feet until you put those handles on, then they all gelled together perfectly.
Thank you ☺️
Those handles are beautiful
@@mmmsunshine5367 thanks
This was one of the most fascinating makeovers I have ever seen! Beautiful result! Bravo!
thank you ;-)
Beautiful, just beautiful. I love seeing old furniture brought back to life. It’s like an old black and white film with a honky tonk piano sound track suddenly in blazing technicolour with a full multi sensory soundtrack. Thank you. Maybe one day I can do the same…
Loved that you found the wooden blinds and used them.
Oh my! Found you Sunday and binged watch you. You really are amazing, calming and thoroughly care about your projects. Thank you!
Such creativity and attention to detail! Great job re-imagining that poor old dresser into a brand new life!
Unbelievable work Sir!!
Sone ppl take such great pride in their work!! U r a rare bird! Fantastic job!! 👍🙏🌝
HOLY SMOKE!! YOU CREATED AN ENTIRELY NEW TYPE OF FURNITURE DESIGN/RESTOMOD!! THIS HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE AND INGENIOUS IDEAS EVER!!
Thanks 😊 that’s very kind 🥰
I love seeing things reclaimed and made beautiful again. Absolutely wonderful job!
It does look very pretty. The extra detail provided by the wooden strips is most attractive. Like the hardware too. Excellent job!
Wow wow wow!!!!! You took this old broken down piece of furniture and transformed it into a gorgeous piece of artwork. Beautiful job
Thank you ☺️
Such a unique piece indicative of the Art Deco period. Beautiful workmanship and I love how you repurposed the wooden blinds. Better than them ending up in the landfill.
I love how you recycle. I make art using everything. It’s a lot of fun turning junk into art or something useful.
I love the recycling of the window blinds! What a brilliant idea 🐝❤️🤗
So often I see "makeovers" that destroy the original style of the furniture, so I was very happy to see that the makeover kept the deco style so well without using new veneer.
Great job!
Thank you ☺️ glad you enjoyed it
I would have never thought of putting a blind on a furniture! 😉 How original! 😊
The fact that those drawer pulls were all there is amazing! They are gorgeous.
Wow, I am blown away at how gorgeous and unique this piece turned out to be! Who would of thought wood blinds could look spectacular on furniture. You really have a great imagination and vision when transforming these sad pieces of furniture. They look very high end when done.
Thank you Cheryl 🙏 you’re very kind
It's looks great and the wooden blind makes the piece looks modern with an Art Deco twist.
Beautiful transformation! I never would have thought to reuse wood blinds and will now keep my eyes out for them. They remind me of wine barrel staves.
You do amazing work.This was my first time ever watching your work and nothing seems to slow you up or stump you.You certainly know your stuff.I love old vanities in that era as well.
Thank you 🙏
When I saw those wooden blinds I knew you were going to do something special. But this was phenomenal. I love recycling and Up cycling furniture in particular but you take it to the next level. Waste not, want not. You “really” get it! Just awesome!
Awesome 🤩 thank you Judy! That’s very kind of you. Glad you enjoyed it.
A+ for workmanship
A+ for creativity
Thank You
Reusing the wooden blinds was ingenious! So much fine wood goes to waste and you used your ingenuity to reclaim it. Kudos! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks 😊 glad you enjoyed it
Stunning 🤩 no other words required. You are truly gifted Jay, been subscribed for along time and follow you weekly, but this is beyond words. Keep up the good work 😃

You're the best! Thank you Mike for sticking around. I really appreciate it !
@@Flippingdrawers Yo Yo Yo Yo Jay!!! Complete transparency. Just finished watching the video now. I was cocked, locked, ready to rock & a work call came in!! I'm super excited & saddened at the same time. Super excited as I saw all the love being shared in the chat & saddened that I missed an opportunity to say hello to so many of you guys at once!! But... with that being said this piece was Stupid Dope Fresh Son!!! The legs, the handles & even the staging at the end. You're a freakin Mad Scientist Bud. Hoping all is well my friend, Dirty Jersey out!!
I am amazed by the transformation of this dresser bureau. This fella knows his craft. I also enjoyed his humor. Thank you for posting it . 🇱🇷🦊🐾
Thanks Karla !
I was transfixed. Couldn't look away. Masterful. Including the voice, video and editing. Thank you so much for sharing what you obviously love to do. Lucky world!
Thank you ☺️ that’s very kind
I am in awe, the time and patience you put into restoring this vintage dresser. I have done my fair share of salvaging furniture, I was amazed at the creativity and time you put into this piece.
Totally speechless on this one Jay! Simply Beautiful!
Wow, thank you guys. As always so supportive ;-)
Yea but seriously, I am in literally awwwwe. On this one like wow. Totally wow-ed!🤩👍💖
🙏🏼
It has a certain oriental vibe! I absolutely love it. Thanks so much for sharing this! 🌹
Absolutely beautiful. What a fabulous refurb of something that others would scrap for firewood. Great use of the timber blinds!!!!
Absolutely beautiful, you are a master restorer!
Wow, thank you Sonny!
It's absolutely beautiful! The choice of hardware is superb! Brand new life for this one! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Beautiful transformation. Unique idea about using the old blinds.
Wow, absolutely amazing !, what imagination and artistry !!!!!! I thought I was the only one who saved wood blinds for projects - usually find them trash hunting !lol
So beautiful-and perfect choice of hardware! Smart idea using wood blinds. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It blows me away that you looked at that falling apart, throw away piece of furniture, and saw this potential. What incredible work you do 🙂
Смотрю на вашу работу уже второй раз.От ваше работы аж дух захватывает.Настолько вы профи и так красиво ,с любовью вы выполняете свою задумку.Вы великолепный мастер реставрации .Каждая ваша работа ,это очередной шедевр.Спасибо за доставленное удовольствие от вашего ролика и от вашей прекрасной работы.
That’s crazy amazing! The use of the blinds was genius, and really brought the piece together better and more inexpensively than purchasing veneer would have!
Thanks Bob 🥰
🤩 Wow that is a seriously major transformation…so unique, a really bespoke piece of furniture. Well done 🙌
Thanks so much! 😊
You do amazingly meticulous work! Your vision for this piece is truly unique and beautiful! Truly, one of a kind! Superb job!
Thank you 🙏
😱, what a gorgeous transformation 😍
Love the legs, brass accents, and use of wooden blinds 👍
Absolutely stunning! Your attention to detail and your depth of knowledge created a gorgeous piece. So glad I stumbled upon your channel.
Again, I am in awe. You and Barry are my favorite furniture refinishes. Whenever I see your names I immediately turn to your channels. This piece is so stunning and of course, the wooden blinds are ingenious!!!
May I ask who Barry is, I love furniture flipping videos
Wow, thank you! and I love Barry's work as well ;-)
of course you may @madcitymodern he is an amazing furniture restorer/refinisher and a friend ;-)
I love having a vanity like this. Had one as a young girl. Got left behind when we moved. But it was never this stunning I am sure. You could turn a broken down piece of garbage into a beautiful work of art. Magic fingers.
Another masterpiece!! You have inspired me to try and refinish an old wood door that I saved from my childhood friends home. I will be referring back to your videos at every step.
Love your creative art work and your sense humour 😂
Great wood 🪵 work!
I am just speechless Jay and as my husband says, that’s rare! 😂 You always produce amazing pieces. This was a sad looking piece of furniture turned beautiful. (By the way, thanks for letting us know that was “water” and not something else.” ) 🙈 I love your sense of humor! 👏🌹 P.S. Where do you sell your pieces?
ha ha you are so welcome . I sell them locally on FB but will start posting on ETSY in April when I move to a bigger place .
@@Flippingdrawers yay! I’m excited they will be on Etsy! 👏
Lol that part made me laugh out loud for real! His voice and tone so calm, his patience remarkable his talent is truly excellence 👏 his humor is the cherry on top. Marvelous
What a transformation!! The new legs are perfect!!
So nice to see you pay attention to all part of the piece....the inside as well as the outside surfaces.
I love how the wood slats set the drawers and sides in a slightly different shade. It makes it pop. Very nice
I love watching the transformations you create! Wow, this is so cool! You’ve got a gift, that’s for sure. Keep up the great work‼️👍🥰
Will do Nancy😉 thank you!
My mother had one like this in early 1970s. I love the restyling and updating without compromising all it's curves. It is my new favourite 😍
Thank you ☺️
Oh my Jay, you’re so clever! Who would have thought to use Venetian blinds like that? You truly are a craftsman. I love the art decor style of this dresser so much ❤
thanks ! Glad you like it
This looks magnificent ❤️ all your work really paid off !!!!
Great job!!
Isn’t it amazing what some people can see in their minds eye of an old dresser.
The old saying of someone’s trash is someone else’s treasure, really rings true here.
It was inspiring to watch you work, your attention to detail 👍 Finished article a unique piece. Thank you for posting, greetings from 🇦🇺
From Art Deco to Steampunk! What a trip!
Great job, excellently done, loved the use of the old Venetian blinds! Genius 👍👍👍👍
