My husband asked me to give a little restoration to an antique elm washstand that’s a bit of a family heirloom. I stripped the old finish, re-stained the beautiful wood and got it ready for the NEXT generation.

So happy you did not paint it like so many other “repurposers” online. It is truly beautiful.

@frelnc Год назад

I'm so glad you chose to follow your husband's wishes and leave the "kid stuff" in the drawer. This is an adorable little piece. The doors have absolutely stunning grain which adds a whole other dimension to this little beauty. As usual, Katie, a great remake. Love it.

@theendofmuffins Год назад

Seriously, what an incredibly sweet request. Makes my heart melt.

@letegabriel2721 Год назад

@marthaolmsted4029 Месяц назад

Thank you for preserving and restoring this washstand by refinishing the wood instead of painting it over like so many others. Beautiful result!

@dshey6802 Год назад

That was sweetly sentimental of your husband to want all the childhood marks inside the drawer left alone. In spite of elm being a greenish wood it DOES have beautiful grain. The two stain colors you combined hid the green very well. I liked the rustic authentic hardware. You now have a little beauty for your home.

@gbrickcommercialre Год назад

Would've loved to have seen your husband's reaction. He must be very pleased; the piece was beautifully and sympathetically restored. Love your work!

@kathyl5610 Год назад

Katie, this turned out absolutely beautiful! What a joy to be able to restore something to its original beauty, and still keep the character of the old piece. I love it and I’m sure your husband is very pleased. 😊

@mushyfrogs9 Год назад

This is such a simple restore but it's absolutely one of my favorites that you've done. The wood grain is beautiful and I looove the way the mix of the stains turned out. ❤️

What a lovely family story this piece has. I am glad you and Doug saved it. :) Beautiful work.

@debbiestott3651 Год назад

Something special about old family prices and the memories they bring back. As always a great job done Katie.

@adamfitch965 Год назад

Damn, what an amazing transformation! You really brought out the character in this piece, especially in that elm wood grain. It’s such an underrated wood, and that awful 80s finish was hiding it. I also love that you kept a lot of its history, both visually and sentimentallly. A million times better!

@ssaah59ify 15 дней назад

Beautiful restoration...one that your kids and future generations can appreciate as well!

@joanklaczek4009 Год назад

Very nicely done, especially respecting the history of the piece.

@stephanie1860 Год назад

I’ve been watching restoration DIY for years and you’ve made it so approachable. The sanding alone can be intimidating. Thanks for the contribution. 👍

@blueberryblues3365 Год назад

When we were first married 50 plus years ago I bought a piece just like that with the harp on the back for $69 at an antique store. 😊It was not in bad shape and we owned until a few years ago when we downsized. I miss that sweet little piece in the guest bedroom. You did a beautiful job of redoing it and I am always impressed by your patience. Great job! Xo

@lorimrasek7611 Год назад

What a beautiful piece, the grain in the wood gorgeous. I love how you're husband didn't want the inside of the drawer done, memories 😊

@pattym4543 Год назад

What a beautiful restoration! You did a great job, giving this piece a ‘face lift’ while preserving its past. I’m sure your husband was very happy with the result! 👍👏😊

@jessicamichalski6253 Год назад

I have a similar family piece (except it’s currently painted) and this beautiful restoration inspires me to FINALLY tackle this project. Thank you!

@HAGGISWOOMAN Год назад

FYI I purchased a Ryobi spiral screw extractor kit from Home Depot for $11.57 , I find this very handy to have in my tool box! Keep in mind the screw won’t be any good and must be replaced but if you do a lot of this kind of makeover/diy it’s a game changer when your working on your own.

@Njeanous 5 месяцев назад

Katie is Priceless. She spoke so clearly and relevantly. I will definitely consider REFINISHING. Her explanations were enlightening.

@hlynn2008 Год назад

Another winner! These restorations you have been doing that honor the original finish of the piece have been my favorite! I know it's not always a luxury you can do...if the original piece is too flawed, damaged, etc. But when you can, my oh my do you do such an amazing job! 😍

@petersdotter1 Год назад

I really like that you accented the grain and different colors of the natural elm wood with your finishes. It makes the piece so much more interesting, and a conversation-starter, prompting family memories that will continue through another generation or two.

@janetmcmillan4215 Год назад

Love how you refinished this Katie. Our whole family will be impressed. We thought all the kids were just playing for hours in the bunk bed room. Those little kids must have been smoking🤣🤣🤣

@cmitchell7347 Год назад

Such a nice blend of stains to achieve the rich, dark honey color. Great choice for the new 'old' hardware. The handles look like smiling eyes. :) The piece can now weather many more chapters.

@joannye2871 Год назад

Wonderful job…it is always refreshing to see what can be done with old treasures rather than merely trashing them!

@1953lili Год назад

How sad that elm isn’t found anymore because the grain is stunning! Thank you for restoring this sweet little piece of family history!

@donna6516 8 месяцев назад

What a striking--and special--piece. And a thousand thank yous for a true restoration that honors the wood. So many "restorations" that I see are clean up, sanding and then spray painting! While there may be a place for that and some pieces look better in disguise, this is so lovely.

@sherryjackman9680 Год назад

Fun childhood memories from art supplies in the drawer insider that your husband asked you to save. What treasure as some of us don't have that many good ones from our youth. I have really enjoyed learning a lot from your videos. I now have better idea of what to watch for when choosing used furniture. I don't have space or equipment to do much refinishing in my current apartment. Over 40 years ago in Fairbanks, AK I refinished a dresser and my hubby took lots of photos to prove I did it. Glad I found your channel.

Katie, you did an amazing job. I love the different types of wood it’s made of. I have a washstand commode just like yours. It even has the serpentine front. I love mine. It’s made out of Elm n Hickory trees. Your right their hard to come by. I refinished mine over 20ty years ago. I think it’s do to do it over again. It’s a beauty n with many memories to go with it. 😊♥️👍👍👍👍👍🌟

@charlenegoskowicz8220 Год назад

Whoa, the difference between night and day! I really like the finish, too. It sort of reminds me of a "fumed" finish, especially the way it has a grayish tint hanging on the grain. What a loving restoration, what an amazing job!

@kimeverhart6253 Год назад

Oh my goodness!! This is so beautiful!! I’m so happy that you use oil based stains in your work. I think it makes the wood look so rich and brings out the natural beauty just so wonderfully!!
