  1. I think it looked better in the pepto pink than the hideous result

  2. This looks Just like the dresser we had as children.

  3. ugly then sanded and beautiful, then painted ugly, with ugly mirrors.

  4. Linda Stone says:

    Where do I find the new look.

  5. scroll down and it will say next page

  6. I wasn’t crazy about the Pepto Pink but I prefer it over your transformation, there’s nothing attractive about black and mirror, I think it is awful, somebody’s taste is all in their mouth.

  7. Grand daughter and I redid her dressers this past summer black and added brushed stainless hardware to it, looks fantastic and she learned alot by helping and appreciates it even more because she helped and understands how much work there is to do it right.

  8. would have looked better with a pretty stain…

  9. Sally Lacy says:

    I liked the bare wood. Before and after pictures are awful.

  10. Ashley Nicole Saunders Lina wants one of these….

  11. Lucille, Remember Different Strokes for different different folks!

  12. She wants the pink one

  13. ewww i think i like the pepto pink better

  14. Janie Katkus says:

    No. The re-do was a lose. Going with the original pink could have been so much better. Thumbs down to the black and mirror.

  15. Janie Katkus says:

    I’d have to say their taste is all in their feet on that one!

  16. Candus Ochs says:

    the red child s kitchen is so sweet

  17. Yikes the makeover is hideous! A real makeover would be to take it to the dumb.

  18. I love it! You do have a good eye!

  19. All in the personal taste…I prefer natural wood finished.

  20. I love pink but I really like the way your black dresser turned out with the mirror. If you dont have anything nice to say dont say anything at all. I think it was pretty tacky what you said.

  21. I have never seen such nasty comments, this is ridiculous.

  22. That is a great transformation.

  23. I personal love the new look. Great Job!!!!

  24. Gail Weaver says:

    Yeah, because everyone has pink as their primary color in their living room. With the dresser being black in can be used in almost any room in the house instead of exclusively in a “princess” room.

  25. Gail Weaver says:

    Must be a full moon. All the negative people are out commenting.

  26. I love it….pink was butt ugly! Time for it to go.

  27. Interesting and different

  28. Janie Katkus says:

    I wasn’t stating it should have been left pink……just that even the pink was better…….and it just wasn’t my favorite being done in black and mirror……you might want to check other comments as well……I’m not the only one not caring for the black re-do.

  29. This is a nice dresser. Some little girl would love to have this in her room. Bring color to the room.

  30. The black paint wasn’t applied as smoothly as shiny black should be applied. It should have been taken to a shop with a paint booth so that the paint would have gone on like glass. No, not a good job at all.

  31. So glad you told your methods and you did it without being mean!

  32. And you could be a little nicer in the way you state it!

  33. Sally Lacy says:

    I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be rude.

  34. Sally Lacy says:

    Is that better Leonna? I hope so.

  35. Try harder to be nice. Nothing gained by hurtful words.

  36. Remember this comment you made next time someone rakes your creation over the coals.

  37. Leonna Pierce Havens I am not a vicous person but I am entitled to my opinion……..this is an open forum

  38. Leonna Pierce Havens sorry, I would have stopped with the beautiful wood but everyone likes different things and that’s a good thing. no offense intended

  39. I really liked the finished dresser! I think it’s so neat that the person who spotted the Pepto-pink dresser could envision such a beautiful do-over.

  40. Shame on all of you with the nasty personal comments.. it’s one thing to dislike a piece.. it’s another to attack the person who did the refinishing. If you can’t say anything nice.. don’t say anything at all!!

  41. WAs not my taste did not like the mirror.
