I'm nearly 60 years old, woman who is learning how to do projects alone and relay heavily via RUclips for all the great step by step tutorials. I'm so glad I found yours.
I'm also female. 76, partially disabled and attempting to RE-restore earlier projects that didn't turn out the way I'd hoped. These videos are wonderful -- they explain what I wish I'd known without the condescension many of us (with female DNA) have come to (if not expect then) justifiably loathe. Rosie the Riveter has returned, armed with tools, knowledge and an attitude! We are saviors of the landfills, goddesses of retail renovation, and... *SISTERS, WE ARE DOING THIS!*
The dresser/credenza is an often-utilized piece in video makeovers. It makes a versatile and functional piece to incorporate into a room's decor. Your choice of color here is quite contemporary and should sell quickly. (Trashing the removed hardware is a thing too frequently done in a disposable economy, but these could instead be bagged and donated to a Habit for Humanity Restore location. There is someone who is looking for such items for their own restoration project.)
It’s sad to think that all the makeovers today take a classic, vintage, quality piece and turn it into a piece that looks like today’s cheap pressed wood pieces.
@@pamelagipson8488 she did a beautiful job transforming an outdated piece that everyone has. There are pieces exactly like this in every Goodwill and resale shop. People are just giving them away, or throwing them out.
Never trash good quality or in good condition hardware. Crafters love to buy those and you never know when you'll need it. store all handwear from the same piece in it's own bag, then store all the bags in 1 place to find easier later. Plus in decants those handwear handles may be in style once again.
This dresser turned out absolutely beautiful! You saved a very ugly, old dresser that would have gone to the dump in alot of cases. You are creative and thoughtful. Thanks for this channel! You're doing a great thing!
It’s so funny - I keep adding more trim to my furniture to make it look older! I find more distinction in pieces with more details. They are more interesting and beautiful. That being said - gorgeous job!
I have the before version of this dresser in my bedroom, actually the entire set. We bought it new when we were first married in the 1980s. I’ve been wanting to replace it for a long while - so happy to watch this and see how it could look. Your instructions are clear and give me the confidence that I can do it myself, so thank you!
I have this original with large detachable mirror. Bought it at the Goodwill for $80 in 1986. Too much work FOR ME to re-do it. I actually like both looks. But when I down-size...maybe Someone will want to buy it. It has served me well & still does!! Interesting NEW look. Now...if I could only restore MYSELF as well-😂👍🏻
This dresser is SO beautiful and is the style and colors that make me happy; I love the cool colors of the beach look. I’m just back from my hometown where I unexpectedly lost my mother.😢 I now have a house full of beautiful pieces of furniture that have been in the family and many are well over 150+ years and hold so many memories. I cannot fathom selling them all, especially the beautiful buffet. I can perfectly picture it done in a way similar to the one in this video. I just can’t bare the thought of selling it. Thank you for sharing your talents and visions for people like me. God bless 💕
Thanks for showing us 'newbies' how easy it can be to modernize an old outdated piece (which are a "dime-a- dozen" in my area!"). My favorite part is removing decorative pieces on each side. I would have never thought, or even known, you could do that. Thanks so much for all you do!
As a beginner, I love how you show all steps for transforming outdated furniture into beautiful pieces. I love how you show every step of the process in a easy to follow and to do. Thank you for teaching me and helping me with my new hobby 😊
What a terrific quality update! So nice to see someone who does something other than the normal total chalk paint coverup. I have just updated a couple of dresser and went with a gel stained top along with painted drawers. Love the fact you are homeschooling your children. Congrats!
That dresser came out really nice! It looks so light. The before piece made me feel as though you'd need 2 or 3 people to move it and the end result gives the impression that one could move it around. LOL, amazing what paint and a the removal of just one feature can do. Nice Job!
I use to have this exact same dresser. Given to myself and hubby for a wedding gift. The entire bedroom suite!! I loved watching the entire transformation!! New subscriber here!!!!!
This was just an amazing transformation! I love the light wood finish juxtaposed with the neutral gray shade! Thanks for mentioning that mineral spirits were needed to de-activate the stripper...didn't know that. I'm a real fan of your channel!
Just in time to refinish my disabled daughters bedroom set. It’s old and all wood and I originally purchased it for $375 at a resale shop. I could never have anything as nice as the one I’m going to refinish. Thank you so much for your encouragement. I’ve been procrastinating because I wasn’t sure where to start and thought it was going to be more messy. I’m so excited!!😊
This is absolutely beautiful! My fav tip is #2, taking off dated details. I’m always so intimidated by that part. I’m always worried I will mess it up and it can’t be repaired. You always inspire me! This is a great flip. I love this video!
What i like best is how your tips are so practical and do-able. Oftentimes other channels offer suggestions that are so complicated they don't make any sense or selling you expensive tools or products to adopt. I love how you have both feet in the real world of furniture flipping and are sharing your hard earned experience advice with us, for free!!!
Thank you for sharing that she did a great job also thank you for not wearing a cut off crop top for make up high heels and spandex while you’re doing this you keep it real thank you
I love your tutorials, and how you walk us through the entire process, even mentioning names of equipment, what grit sandpaper you use and everything else! Your dog making an appearance was fun! This dresser turned out beautifully.
You have inspired me. Your explanations are so helpful. This dresser is beautifully updated and transformed. Exactly what I have even searching for. My entire suite is so similar and I have been wanting to update it for ages. Now I feel I’m ready! Thank you!
Kara, I admire how intentional you are with your pieces, products, techniques and tips. The Lilymoon color is 😍. The quick sale is a huge win! Good luck with the house sale!
Really enjoyed this and love how it turned out. May I ever so respectfully suggest you wear protective eye wear - it is amazing how one little oopsie can get in your eye and cause a world of problems.🤗
I like your positive energy and commitment to your family goals. As far as this particular furniture piece, I enjoyed your tips on how to modernize it! Taking off the chunky details definitely made a difference!
How many times I see this type of furniture and always say this could be redone BUT how or what CAN it look look like? This is beautiful ❤️ I just can’t say enough about it. I wish there were classes on how to do these flips. I would love to do my “blonde 50’s bedroom set”
Pretty sure I own one of that dresser’s matching nightstands. I just painted it gloss white and changed the hardware, but I LOVE what you did with yours.
Hi Kara. I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and have found them to be extremely helpful. Currently I’m trying to start a small flipping business on the side - I work full time and have a daughter so it is hard to find the time but I really enjoy making a well loved piece into an updated functional piece of furniture. You always pay attention to detail in all your furniture refurbishing but I especially loved how the stain and color worked so well together in this dresser. It’s really a beautiful flip! ❤
I love that you take something old and bring it back to life!! Thank you for always having inspiration for us followers. Great job as usual! Kudos to you for being debt-free!!!
You. Might want to use a spatula to apply wood filler to minimize chemical exposure . Also I always wore long pants and SHOES when using chemicals ( WORKED FOR AN ANTIQUE DEALER )
I have that exact same dresser with the matching chest of drawers and nightstand in a lighter oak color. I can't stand them and planned on putting them on the curb when I move but now I'm thinking about borrowing your idea. The dresser turned out beautiful! Mine also has the outdated hutch on top. The ones with open cubbies on both sides and a mirror in the middle. I can't believe I used to love this bedroom suit. 😂😂 Hopefully I will love it once again. Thank you!!
I was searching for a proper mask to wear with my glasses. I inherited a house from 1898 and loads of furniture to flip. Am learning from your channel at 65 years old! Thank you! The piece you modernized is silar to one piece I have to do! Inspiring. LOVE the color choice!! Thank you😍🎉
I love the new look and hardware--I need to update an oak bathroom vanity in a similar way, so the ideas and product recs are so helpful. Thanks for all the inspiration and congrats on the many subscribers.
Lovely job! If you have a computerized robot vacuum, you KNOW floors must be accessible, thus new furnishings are elevated on some sort of legs! Couches or weight-bearing furnishings might need extra framing support and legs. Make sure your floor clearance, including rugs, will fit your robot vacuum.
Omg I'm obsessed with the paint color and the gel stain together! It looks so good, modern with beach house vibes, which is my FAVORITE! I love how u took the trim off too. Can't wait to keep watching your channel ❤.
This piece transformed beautifully. I enjoyed watching the spray paint application, though I am a brush girl. I love seeing other people's work, creativity, and style. I read comments about the hardware, and it is your upcycling to do as you wish. I am a bit old fashioned and personally like the old hardware, yet we all have different styles. Your followers will either stay or pass through. Keep doing you. Your work is lovely 😍
It’s been a while since I refinished wood. The materials have come a long way. Just decided to refinish 2 very similar pieces. Had trouble with the stripper drying too fast so thanks for the tip! Love the refinish and I will be using those gel stains for future projects. Beautiful job.
This dresser turned out beautifully. The colors contrast well making it a stand out piece of furniture that looks amazing. I can see this in a foyer, behind a sofa, or even as a buffet. Wonderful!
wow....glasses not fogging up is such a plus.....I like the hint to use Saran Wrap to cover then use to scrape off the stripper......and Wow....the final product is beautiful.......
You popped up in my feed, so this is my first time watching. I think the dresser came out beautiful. I have to say though some of the comments below are so rude, I was a little shocked. Why do they watch or subscribe if they're going to hate. Anyways I just subscribed!! I like what I saw! 😄👍
This transformation is incredible! Not sure I would have chosen the natural top, but it really does look very good. Thank you for posting these so people like me can be inspired.
Beautiful update on this dresser. I have a number of items I am donating, so I would just include the hardware with that donation. I appreciate all the time you take to go step by step and explain your process. I am disabled and in my mid-60s, and have a number of pieces from the 50s that I want to update. I love tools, and am always looking for ways to make my life and projects easier, so thanks your for listings. Love the shots of your dog! I had a Shar-Pei mix years ago, and they hold a special place in my heart.❤️
Good to see creative, enterprising people. This is the first time I've seen ur channel. Congratulations on ur step up toward 1 million viewers. Love, as obviously many do, ur extra comments and tips for success on using products. And that u explain what u use and have a discount link. Good for u, for us, & for the mfr. Very inspiring. I do agree, I cringed when u said u were throwing the dresser hard ware away. Liked that u had a container to put everything together, no fuss, no muss.
You are a talented lady. Personally, love natural wood with earthy stain rather than paint and a more traditional look. But I know some one will love this piece. We hate debt too. Great way to address it! All the best to you.
At 2 am here in NY, and couldn’t sleep. So here I am learning something new. This is awesome because I was going to curbside two pieces of furniture. Thank you
Glad I came across your video. I've been wanting to redo my old dresser & 2 night stands. U were great in explaining what I would need to accomplish this.
This video was great and helped to inspire me to redo some furniture from my grandmother's house! On a side note, we're Shar-Pei people too! Your pup is GEORGEOUS!!
I like todays flip because I have that same dresser. I comes from the town Hall collection sold at Value City Furniture about 20 years ago. It is still holding up. I had no idea how outdated it was. Thanks for the update.
Love how your videos are not “glammed up” but shows us that anyone can fix up furniture and even flip for profit. I’m a CC mom too! My son is Ch3 this year and college is calling. Flipping furniture is one way we hope to help pay for him to go. Thanks for all the great diy’s!
I never redone my dresser but I'm glad I found your video. I'm going to redo my old dresser. It looked so easy 4 me. Thanks for showing the products you use. Most go to fast and I can't see their products. Keep trucking ms. Lady.
I have this dresser set. My parents “invested” in this set. And my mom cherished it. She would always say that it was all heavy real wood. I’ve never liked it but I sure miss my Mom and Dad and it sure tugs on my emotions.
What I liked most about today's flip is that it couldn’t have come at a more perfect time for me. My family is renovating our very old outdated house and we need to strip the paint from our doors and now I know how to start with that. Thank you, and I have subscribed.
Loved it all. Can I suggest that you list the price you purchased your item, or even if it was Free. Then list the cost of supplies, hours you worked on your item, then list the price you sold it for. That will give your viewers a realistic overall view of what it takes to do a project like this, and then the profits one would gain on their hard work. Thank you for sharing. I learned a lot today. Have a blessed day. 😀
You helped me out: I love coastal, so the colors and design of this is perfect! I'm going to refinish an old sewing machine table (with the flip top). Your colors are perfect! Thank you for sharing!!!
Just found your channel today. I almost didn’t even watch because I usually do not like the final result when people redo old furniture, but this is beautiful! I’m looking forward to watching more of your work!
I'm nearly 60 years old, woman who is learning how to do projects alone and relay heavily via RUclips for all the great step by step tutorials.
I'm so glad I found yours.
I’m so glad you are here!
Me too! I’ll be 60 in January! We are remodeling our kitchen! So I’m in it, full throttle! Enjoying the ride so far! Ahhh!
I'm 62 and in the same place. You can do it.
I'm also female. 76, partially disabled and attempting to RE-restore earlier projects that didn't turn out the way I'd hoped. These videos are wonderful -- they explain what I wish I'd known without the condescension many of us (with female DNA) have come to (if not expect then) justifiably loathe.

Nothing is more Beautiful than natural Wood, every piece is unique,
not another like it in the World

Yeah, I liked the drawer handles. I think they could have looked really cool on a different item.
Was going to suggest donating the hardware, too. One person's trash ... :)
Brilliant idea. thank you for sharing

Right? She is amazing. Her voice is not annoying. It’s very matter-of-fact and very teachable. That’s probably why she’s an amazing homeschooler.

Thank you that means a lot! That’s what I do it for
The dresser turned out just beautifully! I currently own the "before" version of that dresser!
I have the whole bedroom set. I'm eyeballing it hard.

I probably would have removed the decor that runs under the top along the front as well to give it even a cleaner look.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!

I love that you take something old and bring it back to life!! Thank you for always having inspiration for us followers. Great job as usual! Kudos to you for being debt-free!!!
You created a beauty! Enjoyed watching how you transformed this piece.
👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed day for you Patricia?
You. Might want to use a spatula to apply wood filler to minimize chemical exposure . Also I always wore long pants and SHOES when using chemicals ( WORKED FOR AN ANTIQUE DEALER )
I like the stained base. It adds a bit of interest.
👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed day for you Tammy?
Love your ideas for updating common dated furniture. It gives me the courage to try it on some of my furniture!
Love the Saran Wrap hack
I NEVER thought about removing the additional wood pieces! BRILLIANT! ❤️
Amazing video … you make it look so simple. Appreciated your tip about using saran wrap.
Glad it was helpful!
The transformation on this dresser is really amazing! Nice work 👍🏻

Amazing transformation. Taking off those little trim pieces was a great choice! The color choice was a win as well. 🎉

Welcome!! ☺️
Love the practicality of your changes to this outdated piece. With just a few changes you’ve brought a diamond in the rough back to life. Love it!!
This old hardware is timeless!!!
Lovely complementary colour on top. Nice to see something different from dark jel..
I have a cabinet similar to this one and it sure let's me see how to flip it. The masks are incredible.
This dresser turned out beautifully. The colors contrast well making it a stand out piece of furniture that looks amazing. I can see this in a foyer, behind a sofa, or even as a buffet. Wonderful!
Well said. I'm Jordan nice words and I like the well your comments were so great so far Laurie!
Awesome job on refinishing! I’ve been doing this for 50 plus years and you taught me something! Saran Wrap, great idea!
Just came across your channel and excited to see your ideas! I don't want to just strip and paint. I like to add my own touches as well!

great job on the dresser
Wow! That dresser was like a time warp back to the 80’s and my childhood. It was nice to see this redone and not sent to the landfill!
Great find with the solid wood top.

I used chalk paint to refinish a couple of these dressers. I actually kept the old hardware and on the blue paint they really pop and look gorgeous.

Love, as obviously many do, ur extra comments and tips for success on using products. And that u explain what u use and have a discount link. Good for u, for us, & for the mfr.
Very inspiring.
I do agree, I cringed when u said u were throwing the dresser hard ware away.
Liked that u had a container to put everything together, no fuss, no muss.
You are inspiring me as a recent stay at home mum to diy! What basics tools do I need for painting furniture?
Thank you! I have a great starter list on amazon. You can check it out here: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2QZFTTHQCURYL?ref_=wl_share
You are a talented lady. Personally, love natural wood with earthy stain rather than paint and a more traditional look. But I know some one will love this piece. We hate debt too. Great way to address it! All the best to you.
Seeing your channel for the first time. I am so grateful. My heart is being pulled toward "wood crafting". You are inspiring me.
I’m so happy to have you!
At 2 am here in NY, and couldn’t sleep. So here I am learning something new. This is awesome because I was going to curbside two pieces of furniture. Thank you
Awww thank you Cristy! I’m happy you’re here! Hopefully you got some sleep!
I love how you change the style with the removal of the extra wood and also the drawer pulls
Thank you!
Glad I came across your video. I've been wanting to redo my old dresser & 2 night stands. U were great in explaining what I would need to accomplish this.
I have that dresser and I needed ideas! Thanks. I understand heat, I’m in Austin.😅
This video was great and helped to inspire me to redo some furniture from my grandmother's house! On a side note, we're Shar-Pei people too! Your pup is GEORGEOUS!!
That is awesome! Thanks for watching! I sure do love my pei-pei’s
I like todays flip because I have that same dresser. I comes from the town Hall collection sold at Value City Furniture about 20 years ago. It is still holding up. I had no idea how outdated it was. Thanks for the update.
That is awesome! Thanks for watching!
I love the color choices for this piece. I will use your gel stain tips to refinish a headboard in my newly painted guest bedroom. Thanks!!
👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed day for you Linda?
Love how your videos are not “glammed up” but shows us that anyone can fix up furniture and even flip for profit. I’m a CC mom too! My son is Ch3 this year and college is calling. Flipping furniture is one way we hope to help pay for him to go. Thanks for all the great diy’s!
Yes!! I love this comment!! We are ChB and F/E (5th)! BEST wishes to you!
I never redone my dresser but I'm glad I found your video. I'm going to redo my old dresser. It looked so easy 4 me.
Thanks for showing the products you use. Most go to fast and I can't see their products. Keep trucking ms. Lady.
I have this dresser set. My parents “invested” in this set. And my mom cherished it. She would always say that it was all heavy real wood. I’ve never liked it but I sure miss my Mom and Dad and it sure tugs on my emotions.
What I liked most about today's flip is that it couldn’t have come at a more perfect time for me. My family is renovating our very old outdated house and we need to strip the paint from our doors and now I know how to start with that. Thank you, and I have subscribed.
Loved it all. Can I suggest that you list the price you purchased your item, or even if it was Free. Then list the cost of supplies, hours you worked on your item, then list the price you sold it for. That will give your viewers a realistic overall view of what it takes to do a project like this, and then the profits one would gain on their hard work. Thank you for sharing. I learned a lot today. Have a blessed day. 😀
I did a bit on my video that comes out today. Thx!
I like how you explain the products. My favorite is your staining method.... Now I know to dampen the wood. Thanks.
I'm amazed at the differences in all you do with the different pieces.
So excited to try this!! Furniture bought in the 70s for me by my parent! You were thorough in each step! Can't wait!
You helped me out: I love coastal, so the colors and design of this is perfect! I'm going to refinish an old sewing machine table (with the flip top). Your colors are perfect! Thank you for sharing!!!
Just found your channel today. I almost didn’t even watch because I usually do not like the final result when people redo old furniture, but this is beautiful! I’m looking forward to watching more of your work!
Thank you Carol! I’m happy to have you!
I’ve been thinking about getting rid of the pieces I’d planned to redo but you’ve made me enthusiastic again. Thanks for the great information.
I am old school! And I do love my words! Appreciate the top and the base of this piece! Congratulations on your milestone!
Thank you so much!
I just found your channel. I love what you did with that dresser! I have one that is very similar and I would love to see it restored!
