Ugly Nightstand Cabinet Transformed into a...Wine Minibar!? - Custom Restoration
In this video, I transformed a damaged vintage 1969 nightstand cabinet into a beautiful minibar.
More about the restoration/transformation process:
This piece was on the patio of the house I recently moved into. The owner told me I could do whatever I wanted, so I got creative and turned it into something useful, specifically a vintage wine minibar. This video is not a regular restoration project, by the book, like I usually do on this channel; I usually restore items keeping in mind how they looked in the past and preserving their purpose, but not this time! I took the liberty of transforming it precisely as I envisioned it and made decisions on this project while working on it, for example, recycling the damaged top part and turning it into a bottle holder. It looks rustic and exciting to me. I hope you treat this video as something other than a furniture restoration tutorial because it's not. It is a custom project where I allowed myself not to follow specific rules and let my creativity run wild.
I hope you like my idea and that it inspires you! You may have a similar nightstand cabinet sitting abandoned somewhere and need help figuring out what to do with it.
This piece of furniture was made in a small town in Poland in September 1969.
The restoration/transformation process was uneventful but painstaking. Many parts were damaged due to water and time, especially the top and door. I had to replace them entirely. I also replaced many pieces of the cracked and worn veneer with new, similar colors, but not 100%, for a meaningful and unique effect.
I cleaned the wood and then dressed it with the new veneer. Then I made the pieces that needed to be replaced, and on the door and drawer fronts, I etched wine culture motifs. For this process, I used a CNC from TwoTrees; here's a link if you want to learn more: www.twotrees3d.online/product...
I cleaned up the rusted parts with a 2000-watt laser. It was satisfactory, and everything went faster than with the traditional sandblaster. If you want to learn more about this machine: www.sfxlyxc.com/?aff=2198
I also wanted to keep a vintage vibe, and I succeeded.
This piece of furniture was made in a small town in Poland in September 1969.
I hope you enjoy this custom restoration project! I enjoyed working on it and am thrilled with how it turned out; it will be a permanent fixture in my living room!
PS: I don't expect the result to be to everyone's taste as long as we all have different tastes. I like how it turned out and am very proud of the work that went into it. Believe it or not, I have worked on this piece for almost two weeks, every day!
Please ask me if you have any questions about what I used and why! I answer them all!
Cheers! Johnny.

Hi, folks! This time you'll see me doing something a little different! This is a custom project. An idea popped into my head one evening, and I decided to implement it. I got exactly what I envisioned and am thrilled with the result. I hope you like my idea and the repurpose of this damaged nightstand! I hope it will inspire you! Especially if you are a wine lover like me! PS: Please read the description; you will understand more about this project! Feel free to ask anything; I'm always responding to your comments! Cheers! 🍷🍷🍷

I'm trying to imagine what it was like to work in a Polish furniture factory in 1969. Apparently, they nailed things together instead of using joinery, or glue, or screws. If they're alive, I bet those workers are deaf from all of the hammering. You put a lot of effort into making this nightstand a better, stronger, and more beautiful object than the original. Good work.
I entered your story so smoothly. Yes, it could be fascinating to see that somehow. Thank you for your compliments!
Good job Johnny! You took a night stand that nobody wanted, restored it, and gave it a new use, and a new life.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Ozwald! 🙂
Не восстановили,а практически сделали новую,что и надо было сделать сразу
Watching you bring these lovely old pieces back to life makes me so happy!!❤
I'm happy to know that! Cheers!
Супер! Получила истинное удовольствие от просмотра. Спасибо 👍👏
Thank you 😊
Очень понравился результат. Сколько труда и терпения надо. От мебели из натурального дерева исходит особый магнетизм. Браво. Подписалась. Жду новых видео.
Thank you very much!
Испортил винтажную тумбу
Мне очень нравится ваша аккуратная работа. Это как поэму написать. Вы просто молодец. 🎉🎉🎉
Wow! Another great piece of art ! Amazing work once again. And yes, God bless us all 🙏
Thank you for watching! 🙂
*_There's just something magical about watching something that was so old and broken being restored back to looking so new. Its such a thing to watch. ❤_*
Вы такой молодец, настоящий мастер супер- класс!!! Удовольствие смотреть как Вы работаете!!! Успехов!!!
Зачаровывает просмотр " возрождения "! Настоящий мастер, да и инструменты шикарные!
Ну, мы, девочки, сразу интструмент просекли...👍😁😁😁💐💐💐🧡🧡🧡
🤩Дяденька, Вы просто супер, моё восхищение, Вашим золотым ручкам.👏 Это шедевр!
Thank you 😊
We had one like that when I was a child
с таким успехом можно было бы просто размеры снять, и новое сделать, не мучаясь с разборкой
Может быть человеку доставляет удовольствие переделка и чтобы у нас было что посмотреть)
Personally, I'd much rather have a salvaged/repurposed piece like this than anything new. It has a history and now has a new life.
Me too! 🙌
Fascinant de voir ce que le talent et la patience peuvent produire. 👍👏 pour cette belle transformation ✨
Merci!! 🙂
You did a wonderful job giving that nightstand a new life ^^
Thank you, Claire! 🙂
You're welcome ^^@@rustyshadesrestoration

Gracias!
I'll drink to an excellent restoration.

Мини-бар получился в стиле гранж. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Молодец ! Я посмотрела с удовольствием, Но что бы переделать " старье " это сколько надо терпения и всякого приспособления !
drewno jest wspaniałym materiałem zwłaszcza w twoich rękach jesteś artystą pozdro Ania Niemcy
I like Upcycling. Sometimes it is much better, to give an old object a new function. So you can create a new unique thing with an own history. The result is excelent, like ever.👍👍👍
That's right. In my case, I couldn't use it as a bedside cabinet because I already have one, but like this, I can keep it in the living. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the idea! Cheers 🙂
Nice very nice!
Прекрасная работа! Браво! 👏👏👏
Nice work. You saved it from the trash heap and gave it new life. 👍
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the transformation! 🙂
Bravo!
Thank you 😊
I wish I could do this.. how rewarding it has to be.. great craftsmanship. Thank you
Thank you very much! 🙂
Thats great 👏
I 'd want one in the same style, but beer - themed :D
That's a cool idea!
i like how you put the original tag back on 💜
🙂
good job! fantastic
Сколько же у Вас инструментов! Мне захотелось стать этой тумбочкой в Ваших руках)))
I have all I need to perform my job 😀
@@rustyshadesrestoration Yes, it should be nice to work with good and convenient tools. How long have you been acquiring your arsenal?
2+ years and some tools I've got from my father.

У моих дедушки с бабушкой почти такой же. Спасибо за то, что сохраняете Память. Ведь многие выбрасывают старые вещи и даже не задумываются, что кому то они были очень дороги.
That's right ✅️

I'm glad you liked the idea, Nora! 🙂

It looks fabulous! That little shelf underneath the top of the table could be used for coasters or other wine gadgets.
Thank you! That's a great idea! 👍
pozdrawiam wszystkich Polaków
Esta quedando muy bien este mini bar pero si me permite darle un consejo, la copa que ha dibujado yo creo quel perfil de la copa por la parte alta también tendría que ser perfilada.Solo es un consejo

Es un placer compartir un tiempo del día porque merece la pena es un lujazo este canal., y mira de vez en cuando es verdad que hay que liberarse y también hacer cosas para sí mismo y disfrutar de la propia imaginación,y eso está muy bien porque fortalece el equilibrio y de vez en cuando hay que salirse de la rutina👋
Good job!!! buen trabajo!
Thank you! 🙂
Beautiful work, Thank you.
Thank you for watching Paul! 🙂
