Stunning Transformation: BURLWOOD Glow-Up Furniture Flip! #furniturerestoration

Published 2024-05-04
I love interesting wood grains and burlwood is one of my favorites! This Hickory flip had gorgeous burl wood and campaign brass accents. It was missing three hardware pulls and had some veneer damage, but I decided to do a full restoration. What do you think?

    This turned out beautiful! One thing I learned when refinishing old furniture is if you have to repair the veneer, or add new wood..make those repairs before you strip the old finish off. Then when you use the stripper…smear that old finish on the new wood or veneer and you can’t even tell its new because the old finish has settled down in the grain of the new wood 😊
  • @feelthepeace
    I'm with you - love burlwood, love, love, love it! You really did 'treat her well'! I don’t think I could let go of this either.
  • Another absolute stunner! Your work is so good, Lisa! I can tell why you held on to this one. I wouldn’t have been able to let it go either. That wood grain is glorious! Just, perfection 😍 👏
  • @justjulee9135
    I almost didn't watch this video because I thought it was the same dresser you had already done. I'm so glad I clicked on it! It is a truly beautiful piece! Wonderful restoration!
  • @kaycox19
    SWEET! The burl wood is gorgeous. Well done.
  • @reneebibbs185
    I really love that dresser and the stain is perfect!!!!
  • @carybrown3192
    Your local sporting goods stores should carry wire brushes for gun cleaning that might help you get into tight spots or small grooves!
  • @lexi19969
    It’s breath-taking 😮 good job!!!
  • OMG, scrumptious!! Light, bright, and very current. I've been paying much more attention to burled wood furniture since you light- washed those night stands a few weeks back, and I've noticed a lot of 1970s burled sets (often with Asian detailing) in the better thrift stores locally. I suppose that the folks dealing with their parents' estates don't have the time or imagination to look beyond darkened finishes and chipped veneer. Maybe they hate the "old stuff" they grew up with (that's how my mom felt about Victorian and Empire furniture). But, I've also noticed that the DIYers snatch up those pieces quickly. Does my heart good to know that there are more good people like yourself who can see the potential and are willing to spend some time and create a masterpiece!
  • @user-vv6zl1fl9p
    Gorgeous! ❤So much work goes into your beautiful pieces! Love the birds singing when you’re in the garage. That’s what I like about working out there myself. Though my dog gets confused hearing it on my phone 😂
  • @kimzimmerman2492
    What an outstanding job you did! Love that you kept everything essentially original and the tone of wood stain you did was just perfect! Love the narrative so helpful to understand what you did and why. I love burl wood as well but a little goes a long way meaning for the piece you restored it should be the star of the room and not competing with other burl wood pieces. Love it!
  • @teresacathey8189
    Hello. I think this piece turned out fabulous. I can tell the difference….you go Guurrlll!!🥰🥰🥰
  • @lisarobinson5550
    Love, love, love the color and the Danish oil made the drawers look great! Great job! ❤❤❤
  • @kimberlygray2352
    This piece is fabulous…and your veneer fixes are spot on! Great job lady!!! IMO…I would have added a base or legs to pull it up off the floor- but otherwise I like this furniture and could see this in my home. Thanks for sharing your process. Love the way you explain what you are doing and I like that you skip thru the repetitive stuff (like doing the same thing on all the drawers). Keep up the nice work….and I’ll keep on watching!!!
  • @cleo1034
    I’m glad you kept it! It’s stunning. (I agree, I also love Burl wood.)
  • WOW! I love burl wood too. Beautiful job . I enjoy your channel. So glad I found you. I learn a lot .❤️
