I loved both of your versions! I honestly don't know which I liked better. I have called it quits on paint stripper projects before too. You feel as if you could be there for all eternity.
I've spent the last 50 years stripping and refinishing furniture both for myself and as a business. I'm now 74 yrs old and retired. I am so enjoying your work and have even picked up a few tips. I still can't resist a good project when it comes up. Thanks for sharing.
I was going to strip yesterday for the first time.....I was so done with my piece. I was a bit nervous. And stopped the job for the day- here I am today and found this.
I can't believe how thorough you were about sanding even the most discreet crevices. And then the choice to repaint? I consider myself a furniture flipping perfectionist, but I could never. But that's why your flips are also some of the most beautiful and success flips on youtube. I'm obsessed with your style!
Mud Puddle turned out to be THE absolute best choice with the lovely light wood! Aside from being my favorite color for business clothing it turned the dresser into a sophisticated piece of high-end furniture. Good call, Katie!
You're so inspiring Katy....I Watch you and Christina and Kasha All the time......I Am a beginner Furniture painter /stainer /Do whatever I can to SAVE a piece of furniture from the dump...as I have been doing this for upwards of 2years as well as I got started with all this thru watching the 3 of you while I live with chronic pain and disabilities......So therapeutic and I Just Love being inspired by the 3 of you and love ur work so much ...keep fighting katy...in My eyes You won the fight with this Dresser haha🤗👍
Let's be honest...when people paint GOOD wood furniture, it's usually because painting is less time consuming than refinishing. Unfortunately, there have been many pieces of GOOD wood furniture that have been ruined by not taking the extra time to do it right. Yes, there is a market out there for painted furniture...and there are tons of pieces that have been saved from the landfills due to paint. Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder when it comes to painted furniture. Thankful to people like you who can see the beauty, even in a piece like this that was definitely not painted properly, and bring it new life!
Seriously Sis, you mean business. Just before you ‘quit’ when I saw you start sanding the inside drawer cavity, I exclaimed, Do it Girl! THEN you took off the legs!?! I especially appreciate your strict attention to detail. You respect furniture and I salute you! So happy you appeared in my RUclips feed. I subscribed and now about to binge watch. Keep on keeping on, Katie. You rock like Mt. Rainer!!!
Katie, plus the Mud Puddle really made this piece. It hails back to the 50’s easily now, without screaming it. I was born 1954. Though I don’t really love that era’s furniture, your treatment made it beautiful.
I really loved the first color choice you painted the drawers. I did see how the yellow undertones of the wood made the drawers more orangey pink. I might have chosen to paint wash the carcass of the dresser with the same color you did in the drawers. But, the second color you did the drawers in truly warmed up the carcass and a beautiful outcome. Thank you for sharing this with us😊😊😊
I have to say not only do I like the new color choice better than the light pink, but I like that there is more contrast between wood and paint colors.
Absolutely GORGEOUS ‼️ I loved it before you repainted the drawer fronts and after as well. I SO APPRECIATE the natural wood with painted drawer fronts. Simply beautiful with another job done with EXCELLENCE 👏🏻‼️👏🏻
Katie...I am thrilled that this 2 y.o. video is still available!! I have an almost exact item. It is an amazing Maple Sewing Machine Cabinet; an MCM, 4 drawers, w/large locking cabinet door covering the shelving. The leg system is the same as the dresser here. I haven't had any idea how to makeover mine until this video!! Thank you, God bless you, I absolutely love you for this!!! 🎉❤ Not to mention, YOU are the cutest!!! 😂😅
I questioned the first paint color, but I trust your judgment and you came through. Contrast is the key. Great 👁 you have. Also the dresser is incredible. I had to start disciplining myself to keep driving when I saw furniture on the curb. Once I quit my daughter started. She’s found some magnificent mid century wood pieces. I love ❤️ your channel Katie
I love this one! I'm SO SO glad you changed the pink. I agreed with you, I like the wood and I liked the pink but it wasn't good together. The final color is perfection! 😍
As a huge fanatic of mid century modern design, I am glad you changed the drawer color. The color you used is totally mcm color. I would love such a beautiful recycled piece. Well done you! ❤️
I saw the Vilas trade mark and that made me more pleased that you brought the piece back to life. Sadly they went out of business a long time ago now, but I have a living and dining room of Vilas maple and still love it, fifty years after we bought it. It's great to see well made furniture saved and renewed. Good job! 😊 🍁
You are so GOOD at this. I honestly liked the peach/pink and natural wood, but yes, the brown is better. Also, "I took a few minutes to stare deeply into the soul of my paint collection..." This is all artists everywhere. Love it!
It's not like miss Katie to give up but I can see you put in a lot of effort. The hard work paid off in the end, looks amazing😊you just keep on keeping on miss.
I'm glad you changed the pink drawers. I'm a pink lover but the new drawer fronts really pick up the natural variations in the woodgrain. GOOD Choice. You always style your finished pieces so nicely.
Literally just sanded probably 4-5 coats of paint off of a 4 drawer tallboy the other day and trust me, I feel you. I have no idea how you lasted as long as you did. I spent around 3 hrs just standing the paint off. Winging it midway and changing your plans can alot of time make pieces that you couldn't even imagine look so good! Love this project
So much love and care went into saving this piece of furniture - you really paid tribute to the tree who gave it's life for making this sideboard. Thank you, it's beautiful Katie xx
So glad you actually didn't give up because the finish product is stunning! Btw good call on the colour change because the pink just wasn't working but the brown.... DAMN!
Hi Katie! Wow....I had to do that once 2 stripping down the paint on a 8ft dresser...dark wood, and the client wanted pure painted white... GF., I thought I was gonna sweat to death....lol I just love the way the wood came out, (natural looking) and yes, changing the color was a excellent idea on your park. I give you a 12+! Thank you for sharing Dee Green
I had high hopes for you when the top bubbled up so quickly, but... Ugh! Exactly why I try to stay away from previously painted furniture. IT'S SO MUCH WORK! And you'll rarely ever recoup all that time and effort when you sell. Kudos to you for sticking with it!
I'm in Loooove with the choice of color you ended up with in the end. Great combo and amazing craftsmanship on your part. You have magic hands and hope you know this.
Such a lovely transformation! Every time it amazes me how some prep work and a can of paint can breathe a new life into a piece of furniture. Your hard work has paid off, Katie. With the final colour, you totally nailed this piece! ❤️
I understand your struggle with sanding those drawers but it ultimately left you with a very unique and beautiful piece Katie... your sooo good ,xoxo. Love how you can be real with us and say IM DONE WITH THIS DARN THING lol..
Thanks for being transparent in your struggles. I consider these videos to be informational and enjoy that you are so very professional in how you carefully apply the paint to only that areas that needs it and it's absolutely stunning as always!
You do such a beautiful job! You are so meticulous and careful with your stripping, repairing, sanding, painting, sealing, etc. I love watching you work and always love your finished products!
I love seeing old furniture beautified, I've done quite a few pieces myself, not for a while since contracting Lyme Disease, so I'm enjoying watching others for a while, til I heal. I love what you did with this beaute, at first I was like "noooo, not brown! 😊 But actually, it looks fab, good choice over the pink, even though I love pink 😍 great find. I'm now subscribed 👍
Paint stripper always makes me nervous even if I wear all my protective stuff! Lol Deff looks like you worked sooooo hard on this piece...lol I do not blame you for not sanding those!! OMG the finish! BEAUTIFUL!!!

The most satisfying paint stripper reaction I’ve seen in a while. So worth your hard work!! Another beautiful piece!
Right?!? I wish they were all that easy 🤪

LMAO the I QUIT part had me dying laughing because right at that moment I was thinking "I would have given up by now". Love your videos!
That dresser is stunning! I know you are mostly a furniture painter, but the bare wood looks so beautiful. You restored it to its former glory!

It’s nice to see real life~ frustration and a miss with color... But, you came out with the win!! No fancy television tricks!💜💜💜
Thank you for the “I give up” moment!!!! It is heart warming to see I’m not the only one 😬
Your patience paid off, also thank you for disposing your products properly
Katie, plus the Mud Puddle really made this piece. It hails back to the 50’s easily now, without screaming it. I was born 1954. Though I don’t really love that era’s furniture, your treatment made it beautiful.
Beautiful Katie! I really appreciate your frankness!
Hello how are you doing today 💗
I am so impressed by your professionalism, patience and artistic sense. Amazing ❤❤❤
I love how you are throughly explaining your safety procedures and proper disposal! 👏🏼👏🏼

Wow. What a great job! Glad you didn't quit.
Villas was top of the line furniture in the 60’ and 70’s. I had lots of pieces.
Wow, I don't think I ever got so excited seeing paint come off so easy!! Love this video, you have taught me a few things and I love it.
What a score!! This ugly duckling just needed you to save it so badly and you gave it it’s soul back!❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely GORGEOUS ‼️ I loved it before you repainted the drawer fronts and after as well. I SO APPRECIATE the natural wood with painted drawer fronts. Simply beautiful with another job done with EXCELLENCE 👏🏻‼️👏🏻
Amazing job. You were right . The Mud color paint was perfect. Warm and warmed up the wood even more. You gave this dresser alot of love.

I’ve been watching your videos for months now and you’ve never failed to impress. Your work is thorough and fabulous. Bravo Katie!
Wow, thank you!
Tough but good decision to change the color, no comparison, beautiful. An inspiration. So thankful it wasn't put in a the landfill. Rescued!
OH YES!! The mud puddle is EXACTLY the right color!! AWESOME!!
I really felt for you on this one - so much work!! But it turned out so beautiful!!!!!
I love this one! I'm SO SO glad you changed the pink. I agreed with you, I like the wood and I liked the pink but it wasn't good together. The final color is perfection! 😍
Omg i loved it with the pink. But the final product is amazing.
A true artist. So dedicated in pursuing perfection. No wonder it sold quickly.
Thank you for being real and sharing the good, the bad and the beautiful! That's what I absolutely love about you!!
I am watching you remove that paint and take this apart with great awe! It is like watching an artist paint or a musician play.
As a huge fanatic of mid century modern design, I am glad you changed the drawer color. The color you used is totally mcm color. I would love such a beautiful recycled piece. Well done you! ❤️
OMG the body of the dresser after you sanded it is stunning.
It’s a beauty!
Wow! That final product is eye candy! Just so pleasing.
You’re a genius with furniture.
Such subtle colour combination! I love it!
Good second color choice. The beige-y brown drawers draw out all the natural maple colors.
I saw the Vilas trade mark and that made me more pleased that you brought the piece back to life. Sadly they went out of business a long time ago now, but I have a living and dining room of Vilas maple and still love it, fifty years after we bought it. It's great to see well made furniture saved and renewed. Good job! 😊 🍁
I love that dresser!! Fantastic work!! You brought out the beauty.
Hello how are you doing today 💗
Nice surprise with the color.
You worked really hard on the drawers , You have done a beautiful job with a PROFESSIONAL FINISH ! Well done !
I like the mud puddle. It looks so rich and warm. As for your reaction to the stripper, it's the little things we appreciate the most. 😍
I loved your breakdown in the middle...so real. And I love the finished product. You are so good at what you do!
You have such a vision, I love the end result EVERY TIME
Hello how are you doing today 💗
Omg I love both of them.. they both look so calm like it gave me peace just looking at them. I love them.
It is such a lovely piece - especially the grey tone on the drawers made it more appealing then the pinky look. 💖
You are so GOOD at this. I honestly liked the peach/pink and natural wood, but yes, the brown is better. Also, "I took a few minutes to stare deeply into the soul of my paint collection..." This is all artists everywhere. Love it!
It's not like miss Katie to give up but I can see you put in a lot of effort. The hard work paid off in the end, looks amazing😊you just keep on keeping on miss.
What a change! Nice recovery! 🙌🏻
The bare wood is beautiful! !!
I really liked both colour versions. Love how you kept the unit natural wood. It worked so nicely with this piece.
Thank you for persevering on this one. It turned out beautifully!
Beautiful final color. Just gorgeous!
Omg the sanding was so worthy
I'm glad you changed the pink drawers. I'm a pink lover but the new drawer fronts really pick up the natural variations in the woodgrain. GOOD Choice. You always style your finished pieces so nicely.
Live the blush and wood!!!!
Literally just sanded probably 4-5 coats of paint off of a 4 drawer tallboy the other day and trust me, I feel you. I have no idea how you lasted as long as you did. I spent around 3 hrs just standing the paint off. Winging it midway and changing your plans can alot of time make pieces that you couldn't even imagine look so good! Love this project
Great work as always Katie! Love that you shared the behind the scenes of a vision not always turning out as planned! 👍🏼
Agreed with re-painting the drawers. Such a difference from the pink.
This is a stunning piece! I loved it both ways.
Love the MC dresser and your bare wood vibe. . Great gut feeling. The paint change was spot on! Always a pleasure learning from you 🤗
Mud Puddle is one of my favorites from DB. Mud Puddle white washed looks amazing also. Good work sister painter.
So much love and care went into saving this piece of furniture - you really paid tribute to the tree who gave it's life for making this sideboard. Thank you, it's beautiful Katie xx
Amazing transformation. Wish, truly wish, it was mine!
“I QUIT”. Love it! We’ve all been at that point in our projects. I would have surrendered long before you did! The dresser is Beautiful!
So glad you actually didn't give up because the finish product is stunning! Btw good call on the colour change because the pink just wasn't working but the brown.... DAMN!
Hi Katie!
Wow....I had to do that once 2 stripping down the paint on a 8ft dresser...dark wood, and the client wanted pure painted white...

Love the final product! The mix of natural wood and paint looks awesome
I love the finished product! Your second choice of paint is spot on! Also, I so appreciate how real you are!
The 2nd paint color was perfect for it. Lovely
I had high hopes for you when the top bubbled up so quickly, but... Ugh! Exactly why I try to stay away from previously painted furniture. IT'S SO MUCH WORK! And you'll rarely ever recoup all that time and effort when you sell. Kudos to you for sticking with it!
So true! I completely avoid painted pieces at the thrift store and on marketplace, but if it’s FREE I just can’t help myself 😜
I agree with your decision. Liked the two colors. But not together. I’m glad you changed them. It’s a beautiful piece. Great job. ❤
Yes!!!!! The change of paint made the piece. You are AWESOME!
Thank you ❤️
I love everything you do. I did love the first colour you painted the drawer fronts but then I loved the new colour even more. 💗💗💗
That paint stripping was most excellent!
I love the finished product.
I love the fact that you pay close attention to detail. Great job‼️❤️
I'm in Loooove with the choice of color you ended up with in the end. Great combo and amazing craftsmanship on your part. You have magic hands and hope you know this.

Every time it amazes me how some prep work and a can of paint can breathe a new life into a piece of furniture. Your hard work has paid off, Katie. With the final colour, you totally nailed this piece! ❤️
Awe, thank you!
I have to say I love this dresser, I love mid century and the second paint was soooo much better. Good job. 🤗
Love this! I thought it looked gorgeous with the pink but I so appreciate you being real and saying it wasn’t what you expected. Turned out amazing ⭐️
I understand your struggle with sanding those drawers but it ultimately left you with a very unique and beautiful piece Katie... your sooo good ,xoxo. Love how you can be real with us and say IM DONE WITH THIS DARN THING lol..
Thank you! Cheers!
So happy your break is over. You inspire me - not to do anything mind you, but I'm inspired to sit back, relax and watch your amazing transformations.
I love the final product. Beautiful!
My favorite piece you’ve done. Beautiful. The final paint color really made the wood tones stand out too. Gorgeous
It turned out beautifully. Love it
