Ep. 79 Amazing RESTORATION of 100 Year Old HOOSIER Cabinet

I've just watched my first video on your channel. I'm hooked.
The piece here reminds me of one in our kichen when I was 4 or 5. It did double duty for hide-and -seek and playing grocery store. Thanks from a Hoosier-by-birth for the memories.👍

What a fantastic job! I love it! I think it's so kind that you took the time to keep & paint the doors, just in case... What a heart you have...😊🙏💕💐

Wow Barry!! I know it was a lot of work, but it turned out beautifully. Thank you😊

What à job! Amasing !❤

I hade one of those a couple of decades ago. It was found in a barn and been used as a chicken roost. It turned out to be a beautiful oak piece of furniture. Brings back memories.

Brought tears to my eyes seeing how lovingly you were restoring this piece for her even though she is no longer here on earth. Her Mother, I'm sure, will always cherish this piece. You have a good heart Barry💞

Great job on this lovely piece of furniture.(I hope she will change her mind and use the doors!)

Incredible diligence! Nerves of steel! Amazing work ~ I always love the SW EMERALD line of paint…so sad about the accident…very provident that she requested you at the right time. Many things are meant to be…amazing work, you are a Saint to have completed this one. God Bless.

so much love when into restoring this piece , beautiful work

❤I love the new look

Gorgeous! Just amazing work into this piece to make it beautiful once again.

So very nice.

👍 What would you do if it IS lead paint?

You should have restored all the pieces for the cabinet

This was a tough one for sure, it looked as if it were ready to fall apart. You can tell that you put your heart into these pieces, and this one especially needed it. I also loved that you finished the doors and all of the hardware for its new keeper, jic. 😊👌

An owl decal inside the cabinet door would be sweet. 🦉

Absolutely beautiful transformation - I think the original creator would be proud to know that this piece is still so beautiful! Sending you a big hug straight from Minas Gerais -Brazil.

So sad but memories remain with this beautiful Hoosier! Beautiful job!

Where did you get the Lane box? I have one too. When i graduated from grade school, a local furniture store gave every graduate one. Great marketing if you ask me. Many people in the area shopped there.
Gorgeous piece. I'd give my eye teeth to own it.

I watched this one before Barry, your care and kind heart speaks to me. ❤❤❤

Wow! I totally felt your dread in the beginning, sir, but what an outstanding job that turned out to
be! Bravo! 👏👏

Off topic, but that purple clematis is beautiful

You are a good man… I want to be like you!!!😊

Beautiful work. I'm glad it's being repurposed

Your videos are helpful and give the push I need to get to work on my own "rescues"! Do you buy and restore furniture for resale or "on assignment" for people who own the pieces but may not have the time or skill to do the work themselves?

Beautiful work! Bravo!!

I shook my head through all of this video. Such a tough project but you prevailed ! ✨🌟✨

I agree with elaine holthaus, but would go even further. You are an Old Soul who divulges your life philosophy while you repair/restore items of furniture. It is truly a joy to learn from you. Some of us are able to reflect on our life experiences as well as observations of others (hopefully without harsh judgement or arrogant superiority). We can admit our own foibles and outright shortcomings and learn and grow from them. That gives us both empathy and wisdom. I feel so much compassion for those who, for whatever reason, are unable to do this. Life must be so painful for such people. Truly a life without honest self-reflection, is a life not worth living. I salute you for your wisdom; it's so refreshing in someone so relatively young (to me). I'm learning about furniture restoration, as well as self-growth and personal-inner-self-restoration in the process. Bless you!

Beautify done ❤

It is always a Joy o watch you achieve your Goal...this piece is perfect example...thank you...dgp/uk

😢 This was just touching. That looked like it was beyond repair. Your talent comes from the heart. Total respect to you ❤

amazing

Paint over wood makes me sad 😢

Que paciência você tem!

@madcitymodern what are the products you used in this? The finish and the stuff for the metal racks

I have a very similar piece that I am working on now!

This is a stunning makeover. The patience you have is astounding. Beautiful makeover!

I have recently purchased a Hoosier that is exactly like the one mom hD when I was a child. It has two or three layers of very thick paint and is in pretty rough shape. I do not have the tools or skills to really fix it right like you did. However, I am gonna do my best. I dread the long messy stripping process.

Beautifully restored! So much work! I’m pretty sure I have the exact same Hoosier cabinet. Restored it myself around 15 years ago!💕😊

This was a enjoyable video to watch! "Very good Restoration" Looks Great ..!!

Woow woow woow.

Thanks for this. I'm trying to surprise my mother by restoring her old Hoosier cabinet, but I was unsure of how to do some of it. This is very helpful!!

Bela restauração 👏👏👏

Paint scrapping took most of ur time , so many layered paint coat.

Thank You for sharing the Love.

Beautiful restoration.

The owner wanted the doors off. That killed this piece. Your work was nice but the owner took all of its character away. Sad

That was a thing of beauty restoration. Ty!

Amazing it looks brand new! Great work.❤
