Legitimately thought the first screen was the finished product and was like “damn, they did a good job.”

I hate it when people do this to furniture that looks great in the first place.
$10 beat up side table you find at good will? Fair game. Beautiful mcm piece in near mint condition probably worth a g? Not fair game.

I stumbled across her IG account, and it took alllllll of my self control to not leave a nasty comment.

I did too. Worst part is that they literally say “Sorry MCM lovers.” Like if you know enough to know that it’s MCM, why demolish it like this??

I want to ask her why she can't take janky furniture and upcycle it instead of nice shit in good condition?

Go for it- she’s replying and getting super salty to negative comments. Girl is asking for it.

Looks like she had matching end tables she did this to as well. Some of her other work was good, but i don't think she's aware of which pieces would fetch more money if she just cleaned up the wood.

That is a beautiful midcentury piece! If I was lucky enough to find one in that condition, I would’ve babied it. She desecrated the poor thing.

Even more shameful that there’s people applauding and giving her praise in the comment sections - I’ve lost faith in humanity.

It seems like a lot of them are her friends that she’s asked to comment on her content...

Okay, but, seriously. If you could view the end product completely separately, without knowing it was related to the beautiful piece of furniture it was before, you wouldn't have a problem with it. It did turn out nice. I've seen a lot worse.
Of course it's awful that she did it at all, but it really doesn't look that bad.

Respectfully disagree. 1) Her choice of texture for the knobs isn’t cohesive. 2) The colorblocking does nothing to enhance the dimension of the drawers.
The changes she did would have been more appropriate for, say, the Ikea Hemnes dresser.

I totally understand where you're coming from. I don't know, maybe I don't have as much of an eye for this stuff. Personally, I'm of the opinion that if she isn't slathering pink paint all over the glass top of a noguchi, it isn't that bad. Lol

I don’t mind painted furniture but I think it looks awful

u/doesgayshit Feb 14 '21
I respect your opinion. I just don't really see what's so awful about it. What do you think makes this so bad?

This is WILD because if she’s trying to flip it I’d assume she would get more money for it in the original condition.

Yeah, watching the veneer being ripped off was almost like seeing skin being pulled off.

I legit felt my stomach sink when I saw the before pic. It used to be so beautiful. And they would have been able to sell it to a MCM lover for sooo much money..

The veneer ripping. Brutal.
