    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.

  • @mvtonnemacher

    The dremel idea was so good! Love that you acknowledged it wouldn't work in every situation but used your instincts to make a smart judgement call!

    “Furniture with a soul.” Never heard a more apt description of what you do! Beautiful work!

    When you cut the strips and separated the drawers I was like Katie is such a gangster! I love it 💪🏽❤️

  • @anaisabelperez7356
    @anaisabelperez7356 Před rokem +16

    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!

    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. ♥♥♥!

    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!

      @johannaholmgren8088 Před rokem +1

      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....

    Katie it’s beautiful and so deserving of your transformation. The old dressers are treasures to be saved.

  • @michaelcristofano5863

    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.

    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.

  • @Alexandra-jj2qh
    @Alexandra-jj2qh Před rokem +2

    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.

    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.

  • @barbmccarthy6811

  • @olderwiser64
    @olderwiser64 Před rokem

    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!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️

  • @nancym3659
