That was an amazing transformation. Love the dremel saw trick. I’m so happy to see you cover the drawer glides to protect from paint. It came out great for a cheap piece of furniture.
Thank you for your videos and instruction. Based on your inspiration, I’ve been renewing a few family hand-me-downs ❤ haha and with my new knowledge of how that goes, I have more appreciation for your patience and expertise. You’re so good you make it look easy! Thank you!!!
Adding the wood strips on the drawers gives character and dimension to the piece. The color contract between the barewood and the drawers below you've picked up is perfect. Brilliant as usual!
I always appreciate you do all the mechanical repairs before prepping and painting. Having been inpatient, I have moved to refinishing before all repairs are completed. It ALWAYS bites me in the butt when I mar my new finish. You are a pro!
I used to do that. I learned my lesson....my German Dad used to say to take time to do it right in the first place, or I'd have to make time to do it over....
Excellent job, turned out so well! Like the combination of light and dark colors. The way you laid down the vertical spars across the three drawers was so ingenious and ensured perfect alignment. Thanks for sharing your skills.
Katie that turned out so cute! Navy is my favorite furniture color right now> I really appreciate your classy, chic touch on all your pieces and your straightforward, no-nonsense way of teaching what you have learned over the years. Thank you.
Beautiful! Katie I subscribed to your channel in order to learn techniques, but now I realize you not only teach technique, you are truly an artist. Thank you for all you share!
Hi Katie, I’m late watching this but better late than never, right? Ohhh I absolutely love it, it turned out beautiful! As always you never disappoint! Job well done. ❤
Great job, as usual! I love the contrast between dark paint and the warm wood finish. Altogether a much more interesting and better looking piece than its original condition.
Great outcome from a sad-looking starting point! The new color/contrast look and added texture to the drawers is on-point for today's marketplace. Congrats! FYI one can successfully mix oil based stains and water base top coats - I use General Finishes gel stains and Varathane water based polycrylic top coat all the time - perhaps you don't have the time to wait 72 hrs to ensure the stain is absolutely dry, a must. (Note even General Finishes website says it is okay). But whatever works for you, it came out gorgeous!
I love this piece. Great refurbish job and the best trash to bespoke treasure I think you’ve ever done. You just keep getting better! Love your channel! ❤
Wow! Great idea for using the Dremel tool. Cutting and piecing each piece would have been an absolute nightmare. Stellar work that we have come to expect from you! Hope the new owner appreciates your hardwork. A piece I would be proud to have in my home!
Love your transformation! I have a few pieces that would look great if I just knew what to do to give them new life. You've given me the ideas and inspiration to take on my first project.
I love this update on this piece!! Ash is one of my favorite colors and the stained top drawer, hardware and textured surface you added are such a fantastic add to this! As always I learned something new so thank you!!
The added wood strips are great and gives such dimension and interest. I don't mind the top drawer done the way you did but I think I would have preferred it to be the same as the dresser only because the wood strips were the star. Beautiful job as always Katie. Love your videos.
Katie; I love it when you use your sprayer! Never any overspray and smooth finish. I am a total spaz with a sprayer, so I really appreciate your level of expertise with spraying. Thanks for sharing your artistry with us and please keep saving these pieces of history. ♥♥♥!
Kate, you always do a terrific job on your furniture. I LOVE painted furniture and you always do such a beautiful job. Thank you for your teaching and inspiration!!❤️
Creative solution to this boring little chest. You, always, come up with great, workable ideas. I am limited in my woodworking skills, so I try to do easy, manageable improvements. My idea boosters are, usually, Pinterest or RU-vid creators....like YOU!!!! Thanks for posting and sharing! 👏👍✨😍❤
Wow! I’ve got to admit, when you started adding the lattice on the bottom three drawers, I was like 😱, then when you painted the dark blue, I liked the color, but plot twist, that top drawer wasn’t working in that paint wash, and so I was not down for the lattice and unsure of the natural finish. Then I saw the knobs and thought, hmm, not what I would have picked, and then you put it all together and it was GORGEOUS!! I love it! And just confirms for me why I’m not a conceptual person and have to see something all finished. I love this one! 🤩 Brava!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
I LOVE all of your furniture finds, but more importantly, your vision and skill to transform each piece you find/buy into incredible works of art! Where did you learn how to use these power tools and how to approach the repairs--amazing to me! Thanks for sharing your inspiration with us---and keep on transforming!!
A Beauty !!! Making a dull piece off furniture in to something really special !!! Love the color in combination with the wood and it is matching amazing !
Katie, you said it perfectly. This is furniture with a soul. It is a piece that could land anywhere in a home and provide function with style (with a capitol S). For some reason.... it just grabs me.
Beautiful. I have a similar but lightly larger dresser, in need of TLC. This is very close to my vision of my dresser, but I never thought of wood strips.....gonna give that a go for sure!
That was a lot of hard work you put in to making this work and it’s beautiful. I’m hoping once I do a couple of smaller pieces that I’ll be able to refurbish my own bedroom set. Thanks for the channel.
I've already watched this video twice! 😂 I have a similar-ish piece sitting in my garage... and now I know what I'm going to do with it! Keep up your amazing videos and inspiration. ❤
Great job! You took a cheap piece of furniture and upscaled it to something wonderful. Even better you give back to the earth by saving it from the landfill and then donating it to someone who really needs it. More flippers should do the same.
