I like!

Beautiful job. Goodness, I'm so envious of those who can pull off such renovations themselves.

Looks great. I think it suits the style of the piece really well.

Interesting. My personal opinion though would have been to use it as an accent, maybe on the front face of the drawers, inside the molding. I'd worry about how it wears.

Looks gorgeous. Turned into a very fun piece.

Surely refinishing the original wood would not have been a more difficult project than covering the entire thing with tin foil? I think refinishing it would have shown off the interesting shape and craftsmanship of this piece much better. IMO

Judging from the original website's photos, it seems completely misleading to say "she decided to refinish this piece with a common kitchen staple — regular aluminum foil." The product she is shown applying comes in a little tub, not a two-foot-wide roll, and it appears to be far closer to gold leaf than to Reynolds wrap.

Too much. Don't think it looks good. Maybe in a room setting it blends in better.

I'm really struggling to imagine what room this would work in. So far I've only come up with a room with totally black walls and nothing else in it.

The tub she is using is the wallpaper paste. On the website, she has a link to the first project she did with this method, and she says she cut the foil into squares with scissors. It shows Reynolds wrap as what she used.

I think it could go beautifully in any room that had metallic accents, either silver or mixed; it has a wonderful "Hollywood Regency" look that could go in any room decorated in that style; the traditional lines would help it fit in a more sedate room while the shiny would help provide a note of unexpected whimsy and character, etc. Honestly, it would go great in my bedroom, but don't worry, Korrie, I won't steal it!

It would be easier to judge if it weren't photographed sitting on grass.

I would add a little more than a thin acrylic layer over it, i'd imagine the foil to be hella easy to damage and peel off...

I would LOOOOOVE to find a piece like this!!! I love, love, love this shape. I would add some furniture legs to lift it up a little bit more. I think a piece like this would fit into a lot of different spaces. I'm SO jealous! I would paint it black with a matte finish and a nice off center stencil in a gloss finish (also black), then I would put a mirror above it and use it as a side table with a plant on it and maybe some tall candle sticks... I think using matte and gloss in the same color would add interesting detail and really play up the shape.

Thanks for the comment clarifying about the tub of paste. I had done some metal-leaf work where I used very thin copper squares about the size of that tub. (And the kit came with primer and coating that ensured bonding and nick resistance.) It's hard to see how regular aluminum foil would be able to settle satisfactorily into the crannies of the woodwork here. Still seems like a less than ideal choice.

I think it would've looked better with different knobs.

Nope. Not a fan. So many other options that would look better I think.

Oh no

It still looks like a before ......It's horrible.

I like it!
