    "It's not perfect. It's never going to be perfect." I love this - this is why I rehab furniture. Thank you for the reminder - and I SO appreciate you showing when the project doesn't quite work out. That was strangely affirming since none of my projects ever goes according to plan.

    The best part is seeing you push through. So many times I want to give up when my projects don’t go right and it is great to see you take a few days and a deep breath and get back in there. Beautiful desk.

    That Desk is Adorable. What little girl wouldn't love to have it as her very own. Even a teenager's Makeup Table with a girly mirror. Perfect color as well. Excellent Job! Cathleen

    I really appreciate you sharing the trials and errors! Sometimes I watch DIY stuff and the only show a perfect finish it can be discouraging for newbies like me who encounter hiccups and wonder why I can’t execute perfectly like them! It’s bc nobody does anything perfectly! So thanks for keeping thst in it turned out beautifully

    Thanks for showing some real challenges. You are amazing and inspire others to do things right with hiccups along the way. I was a single mother for many years and my daughter’s friends would come to our house and say “you live here”? They were impressed, and many of the items in my house were picked up at the curb and refurbished. Now I instilled that recycle mentality in my grown daughter, and she has turned out some beautiful pieces and added fabulous upholstery skills too.

    Hi Katie,
    I’m watching this from Down Under as we call it....ln New Zealand.
    Loving everything you do and I have a couple of tips for you. My dad was a cabinet maker. Get a candle...(big is good as it covers the distance quicker) and rub the wax thoroughly all along the outsides of the draws and also the runners. This will truly make them slide in and out like butter.
    Works like a charm.
    The other is to help you with spray drift...
    Make a largish oblong that you can hang from the ceiling. Perhaps from pipe, copper pipe, or an old long curtain track and have it on a pulley system. On this oblong hang a couple of large bath tub size shower curtains so that you can pull them around to enclose where you need them. Put some weights in the hems if not already there so they don’t blow about if you should catch a breeze..
    For ease... make yourself a dolly....which is either circular,square or oblong. This is just a flat board which has casters underneath so that you can turn it around as you need to spray. It works wonders in a small space. Remember to sand the edges so you don’t catch your legs or clothing on them.
    No more spray....and you will love it for ever.
    All the best for the future. Your’e doing a fabulous job.
    Julie

    • @salvagedbykscott
      @salvagedbykscott  4 года назад

      Thanks Julie. If you watch back a bit, you’ll see that I often wax sticky drawers. In this case, that would not have solved the issue.
      Since I’ve been doing this full time for the past 3 years, we have our garage set up in a manor that works for both my husband and I. No small spaces to deal with 😉 (also, when spraying paint, you don’t catch a breeze, you create a little tornado of air with every pull of the trigger so loose plastic would be disastrous)

  • @neicylove820

    Thank you for showing a piece that needed a lot of loving and had challenges. Your trouble shooting has helped walk me through some of my own furniture challenges. LOVE the color (and the colors name!!). Beautiful transformation. Never thought of changing the drawer bottoms out. I have a desk that an ink pen exploded in, now I have inspiration as to what to do with it.

    I saw the bubbles on the top when you were applying that last coat of primer. Thanks for showing this mishap, the rest of us wouldn't know it was from humidity, valuable lesson. On the "Up" side, that stain went away. This little desk is adorable & the music too: ) Love your work Katie! ps Antique is 100+ yo - Vintage is 0-99 yo

    I'd say a BUNCH more years! You do such quality work, besides how lovely your designs are. I'm really loving your channel & ALMOST believing that maybe I can follow in your foot steps. Thank you so much for posting. And, btw, I saw some criticisms in another of your flips where people mourned your filling in some grooves on some drawers of a 1950's dresser. They're nuts, IMHO. Lol. I love the way you repurpose, update, & redesign to bring older pieces into this new century. Your sleek, clean lines and sensibility for what's current is spot on. Oh, and the paintable, textured wallpaper you used on those drawers also was very cool! OK, one more thing. I did NOT understand why people use chalk paint instead of latex until I started watching your channel. They probably both have their place, but I can't wait to try some chalk paint. I love the look of it.

    I totally felt you when you were surveying the effects of the high humidity..... this may have to go away for awhile. So me in my life when a sucker punch comes out of no where and seems to thwart my plan. My most common one is....kids, take this phone away from me before I spike it on the ground like I just caught a touch down pass. Technology and I don’t play together well all the time. Lol Really love your tutorials and how you get through the issues. I’m shopping for a paint sprayer now after seeing your pieces. Thank you for sharing your journey!
