I spotted this chest next to a dumpster while I was driving around one day. Follow along with me as I give this furniture a makeover that will make it look like high end centerpiece rather than being destined for the dump. I also timed myself to show how long it takes to paint furniture. This is just scratching the surface of furniture painting profits but I may do more in the future if you all like it. This furniture can be purchased from my website: thatshabbyguy.com/

THANK YOU to all of my channel members. I know I'm supposed to add this at the end of the video but I forgot and the video took like 10 hours to upload and I just now remembered and like, even though you all mean a lot to me and even though I rarely post videos y'all still seem to waste your money for those silly paint brush chat/comment badges and toasty emojis (k not gonna lie those are kinda cool)... but I'm not going to sit here another 10 hours just to see your names scroll across the screen for like 5 seconds. For real, it takes me like 30 minutes to make it do that. I'm slow. I know most of you skip through the video to the end just to see that part anyhow so I think this long run-on sentence will suffice, even though you probably skimmed through this too. Love y'all. ❤️

    Can you believe people throw stuff out like this? This happens all the time around me. Do you find stuff like this where you live? EDIT: This piece is now available for purchase on my website: thatshabbyguy.com/
  • I’m so impressed, I couldn’t imagine a red dresser, but it’s a piece of ART now, and an heirloom for time.
  • A throw away dresser that looks like it could fit right in a castle. Beautiful!!
  • First Off, that Piece turned out INCREDIBLE!!!! CANNOT IMAGINE THROWING THAT OUT!!!! I mean, it was in GREAT SHAPE to begin with!!!! Oh well, their wastefulness certainly helped you out!!!! KUDOS!!!!
  • @Dakiniwoman
    If only, the people who discarded that cabinet could see it now... I love the gold over the red... It's a gorgeous piece... you did a great job.
  • @NitrosMom074
    Dang, when I saw you paint it red I thought “he’s ruining it”. I was sooooooo wrong! This is stunning! The rub and buff totally elevates this piece. Gorgeous.
  • What a great find. You rescued that piece from the landfill and gave it a new life. Someone will love that piece for years to come. Very nice job!
  • I like that you did not shy away from the use color. I watch several restoration videos like this, and while the creators are able turn a distressed piece of furniture into a work of art, so many of them seem to be afraid to use vibrant colors. I love your choice of colors here. The way you blended the red with the black and gold allows the red to stand out without it being overpowering. I love ❤️ it!!
  • @Sandra-qs1mi
    I freaked out when I saw the red paint, but when you finally finished it was gorgeous! Great work!
  • @ngerick
    The glazing and gilding accomplishes the core of artistry: accentuating the piece with shadows and highlights. Love it!
  • I’m constantly amazed at the things people throw out. I love when people like yourself take the time to redo items that not only make them useful again but beautiful. The gold you added at the end is what pulled the whole project together. Awesome ❤
  • @lindacopland8676
    I love it. I usually think I would not like red furniture,but pieces like this just proves me wrong.
  • @dsa2591
    I wasn't too enamored with it until you put the gold on. It's gorgeous! Very classy looking.
  • @pattym4543
    I admit I was a little worried about your red color choice. Then you added that dark glaze which made a big difference. The final decision to highlight the details of the dresser with gold guilding wax was perfection! It is truly unbelievable that someone threw that piece away. Fantastic job!! 👏🎉👏
  • @Linda-ii8hc
    I absolutely love this piece, the red and gold are just gorgeous! It could be a dresser, entry way piece or a dining room buffet with all that storage….a beautiful piece of free furniture🥰
  • Great transformation. You are an artist , with great vision .
  • I loved the piece as it was, so I was skeptical, however you surprised me, the end result is gorgeous! Well done!
  • A beautiful piece when you’re done. Good work. Nice to see how you sprayed paint. 👍
