Once many years ago I bought a pink dresser and chest of drawers and painted them to use in my youngest son’s bedroom. I spent weeks sanding and prepping it before painting. After months I had completed it and put them in his bedroom. It wasn’t long before the pain started chipping off. I got rid of the whole thing. It was a disaster. You make it look incredibly easy but I didn’t find it to be that way. Before I was through with it, I spent way more on supplies than I should have including an electric sander. To make a long story shorter, that was my first and last attempt at redoing furniture. However, I have a desk and TV stand I would love to have done over but almost no way I will attempt it. Prepping is the worst part. If I could just buy something and paint it I think I could manage that. I am in awe of you though and love watching your shows and love going thrifting.

Number 6 the bureau is a love-hate for me lol .... Is it antique? It's so originally gorgeous and looks like good old timey handiwork. You really found a good piece there. I especially love the intricate leaf ornaments on the front, so im very happy you kept those intact and didn't paint over them. I loved it when u cleaned it so well, scrubbed it thoroughly and sprayed the protective layer, You really refreshed it and made the natural wood grain pop! Great job on that. But then you chose to paint with the thick acrylic navy blue paint on the inside.... not my fav color, and not my favorite paint, esp together with the natural shades of the wood. But I liked that you chose a lighter blue fabric as inside padding of the desk. I think that the little cabinet doors on the lower part could also use that lighter blue fabric padding. Overall its a very pretty piece of furniture and you did a great job Corey! Im just not into this shade of navy blue lol I would have used a blue stain instead of the thick opaque paint, Using a stain would have shown off more of the wood grain and still give a pop of color. I also really liked the 2 dark purple nightstands with the golden handles (number 5 i think). Looking whimsical and classy, perfect for a teenager who's into witchy or fairy kind of decor. Well done!
