Thank you, but tried to sign in using facebook and it won't let me says no acct but I clearly have one. Disappointed
I did edit to not share my email cause I don't want to get emails all the time.
For years I have used the sanding blocks in my pedicures. As far as the dressers go, one of my cousins had one in a large bathroom as the vanity and the sink was just dropped into it and the top of it was tiled. All of the drawers were storage.. Another cousin of mine had a dresser her in her living room as her TV console. The drawers just held blankets, movies, extra remotes, things like that
Where are the $5 stores? I am in the Chicago land area

I ran over here so fast I tripped over my hubby's oxygen hose. Just kidding. Asking y'all to please continue to pray for my hubby and I. He goes tomorrow to a Pulmonary specialist to see if he can have surgery to remove a large hernia removed that's pushing against his right lung. He's on oxygen 24-7 due to Covid damaging his lungs. Thank you in advance. God Bless.
Prayers for both of you offered up this morning, Alma. ❤️🙏🙏✝️✝️
@@debbiefriedt7264 thank you so much, friend.
🙏🏿
I pray for his healing and peace that surpasses all understanding for the family. May God our Father heal him, God the Son heal him, God the Holy Spirit comfort him. In Jesus' name Amen 🙏🏽
Prayers are powerful medicine and I use it daily. I pray his surgery goes well. Pray more, worry less.
Here’s a tip: those metal hooks that Kathryn painted black for a coat hanger, I installed them inside my shed to hold shovels, rakes, and other yard tools. I wasn’t sure if they would be strong enough to hold the weight but they’ve held up for a few years now! Stronger and cheaper than the racks designed for that purpose.
My husband still has his dresser from childhood. I’ve used it for clothing but now it’s in our shed. My hubby puts hand tools, screws, power tool attachments, etc.😊 Tfs. You totally rock!🎉🎉🎉
I have had dressers in the kitchen/dining area that I kept stuff like potatoes, canned goods, boxed dinners, pasta, etc. It's a portable pantry. It can be a toy box sorted by type and even holds racetracks and awkward items. In the bathroom it's a linen closet, in the garage it's for gardening supplies, seed storage, small tools, extra hoses, boots, etc. It could be a tv stand if you want to get crazy. :)
I plan on selling my current house and buying another, smaller house, when I retire and if that house doesn't have a pantry, I plan on using an armoire as a pantry.
Hi Kathryn! I would love to see a video about all the throwback DIY projects you've created before that you still use to this day. That would be really interesting to see how each has held up or how you may have improved them!
I second your idea. 🙂 I often wonder where/how Kathryn stores her seasonal creations once the season changes.
Great idea.

I use a 9-drawer triple dresser that I found abandoned when I was 19 (a million years ago) for all kinds of extra storage! It started as my clothes dresser before I inherited my grandmother's antiques. It is solid wood with dovetail joints and is heavy - they just don't make them like it anymore, at least not at an affordable price point! It desperately needs a makeover but it works great for extra kitchen storage of my dish towels, light bulbs, extra meds, craft supplies, and even household hand tools! Right now it's living under the bar end of the island in my small apartment, but it works beautifully in a dining area - and, there, it doubles as a buffet!
I use one in my foyer for a command center. The drawers hold anything you would take with you out the door. Lotion scarves, my favorite purses to switch out, bags for Aldi. It has helped through all the stages of my children. And no one’s asks for anything anymore
I do a lot of pyrography (wood burning) artwork and that wood burning pen really does come in handy. Keep practicing with it! One tip is you can use the flat sides of the tip for shading. And because you can't change the temp of that pen, in order to make different shades to get different "color" you would have to find ways to cool down the pen before applying it to the wood and adjust how fast you drag the pen to make the shade. I probably didn't explain it that well but hopefully you get the point lol.
Thanks fore the tips! I've been eyeing the wood burner tool at Dollar Tree for a bit and will go buy one and get started!!
@IrishRnr56 please do! Wood burning is seriously becoming a lost art so the more people we get into it the better 🙏👍
I just recently bought a wood burning kit, haven't tried it yet but I like the idea of personalizing the bamboo cutting boards. Can you recommend a book or website to get info for a beginner?
@crickett4877 I personally cannot recommend any because I pretty much learned as I went a long. So I was pretty much doing it everyday just experimenting with different tips, fast and slow movements and adjusting the temperature of the pen to get a desired affect. As I became more familiar with techniques, I eventually upgraded to more higher end woodburning machines. The books that I did get were for designs. But I know that there are books available on Amazon for beginners and there's also youtube channels as well.
I love the thrift store dresser makeover, you did an amazing job on it! Lots of great ideas in this video. TFS and don't forget, "You break it, you buy it!" Lol!
I covered a tall, white IKEA cabinet with wood-grain Contact paper. So far, a year later, it has held up perfectly and looks so much better with my wood bathroom cabinets than the white I covered. (I downsized into less that 1/2, so I am grateful there was room in the bathroom for this extra storage.)
And so easy to wipe down😉
Did you cover the outside of the bookcase or just the inside? 🤔 I've only ever covered the back...Thank you for sharing!
@@juliabrown5948 I covered both sides and front edges of all the boards before assembly.
There is an older YTber who shows how to do acrylic coat image transfers. Thanks for showing this. It's a nice craft to make a personalized Room Decor or gift to someone special. It'd be nice to memorialize those special pets who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge and to show how much you love the ones still blessing your home.
It has a timeless look to it that almost everyone loves.
I just love how your craft room dresser turned out, Kathryn! I also love the resin vase bouquet. It's so pretty. Great video! ❤
Another “fabuloso” video! Thank you so much for all you do for us.
Love the bloopers at the end. They always make me smile. Glad it’s not just me having the occasional thrift store “adventure”. 😆haha!
I have two antique dressers from my grandmothers attic that I use unconventionally in my home. One is being used as a coffee station and another in our large master bathroom for toiletries. Love your energy and ideas!
This is a great video, jam-packed with so many ideas and tips, that I'm going to have to watch it again and again! Love the dresser! I have a small dresser that my late Dad refinished many years ago. I think it would look as beautiful as yours turned out!
I agree!! So much goodness!
Hey Kathryn! I use a dresses drawer in my dining room to store board games 😊
Love that!
I absolutely LOVE the minwax polycrylic! I've used it on stained cabinets and to varnish my acrylic paintings.
I absolutely LOVE your energy! I look forward to your videos not only for the tips and inspiration, but your positivity is infectious and makes my day. Thank you, thank you, thank you and keep up the good work ❤️
I have a beautiful dresser from the 60's that was gifted to me and I use it as a TV stand. Its stunning and practical :) I used the drawers for my kiddos PlayStation games and extra cords etc...I absolutely love the piece and enjoy the versatility of it.
Mind blown here! 🤯. I had no idea that curved part of the scraper was to help clean the paint roller. Thanks again for great ideas!
Great video! I just wanted to say that epoxy resin is a great crafting tool, BUT, it requires extensive PPE including a full respirator, safety goggles, nitrile gloves, and either industrial ventilation or doing it outside. It's highly toxic!
Brings tears to my eyes when you say you are Enough. You’re so talented
Thank you so much for the skill share opportunity. I was in the car with my husband driving and the notification came up and I was one of the 1st 1000 viewers and got a free month. I plan on keeping the subscription. I always wanted to have my own channel and skillshare can help you to get started. Now that I’m retired I can finally get started. Love your videos and your channel, thanks again
Although I am very young. I still love your videos and very pleasing to watch u and your calm voice. ❤
We used to have a dresser in our kitchen. Used it for placemats and basically as a cabinet!
Our DTs are NOTHING like that, but I adore your energy and videos.
I watch her all time in awe of her skills and creativity. I go to DT to get the stuff and they sit in the corner of my room never done. Lol. I know I’m not alone.
Back in 2005, we bought a dresser for our family room. We have our TV on it and use the drawers for storage. Works great!
I have an entire dresser allocated for craft supplies! Love that use of the wallpaper! U are amazing!!
Me too!
I've seen those wallpapers and thought they would look amazing on the inside back wall of a bookcase. My favorite paper is the one you picked to do your dresser. It is modern and looks to be the easiest to match up the sheets.
Happy Tuesday beautiful lady! You are a genius at hacks! I don’t have a dresser not too many space in this old house. Love the cutting board with the pup! You are definitely enough for us. Have a blessed week.
You, my dear one, are precious and so very inspiring! 💙💙💙
Yes! I have made a traditional dresser into something else. I found by a dumpster a nice light weight up right dresser. I couldn’t believe it was real wood and so light to pick up. I needed extra shelves in my bathroom.
What I did was of course clean and paint the dresser turned the dresser upside down and attach it to the wall then hang it over my toilet. It was the perfect size, from ceiling to over the tank. I had my husband add shelves and made light weight doors. I had the paint and wood for the shelves, so no cost there. The only thing was the hinges, wood for doors and two magnets to close the doors. Now I keep extra T paper and sundries in it and honest it looks great!😊
Sounds like something I would do. I couldn't part with my 80's waterbed bookcase headboard...the big heavy wood kind...so had it mounted high on the wall and displayed moms blue & white china on it in my quirky eclectic style.
I bought an antique 8 drawer dresser when I moved into a smaller house. It’s in my living room. I use it for a tv stand, and every drawer is full with office supplies, tools, dvds, and table linens. Dressers are my favourite storage and organization piece.
Thank you Katherine for all the wonderful hacks & great ideas!!! I love you & your channel so much!!! Keep these great videos coming!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh Kathryn! I have to let you know. There were a couple of jaw dropping moments in this video. 1st the Resin! Wow! 2nd was the clean off your paint roller tool! I always wondered what that was for! By the way, if no one has told you today… you are a blessing❤
Awesome video Kathryn!! So many great ideas!! The dresser looked fantastic!! Love the roses in the bowl 💖 I have seen the wood burning tool & thought about it but my hubby would have a heart attack (I'm a little clumsy 🤷) lol I have a dresser that was my parent's & it's over fifty years old. I store games in it. I have my odds & ends like wax melts, leftover hardware from projects, etc. I also store pictures in it. ❤️😊
I don’t use dressers anymore for clothes. I use one for all of my cookie cutter collection!
Thank you for all your videos ❤
I don't have the patience to put clothes in drawers, so I'm curious what you do with your clothes? Thanks for helping, and your cookie cutter collection sounds cool!
The dresser looks so nice after designing it w dollar tree items.
.loving this !!!
Kathryn you always have the best videos filled with amazing tips, tricks, and hacks🤗 NOTICED: you using the DT glue gun...please make sure it's not the older recalled model😉You are always more than enough to put a smile on my face...thank you❤🙏🏾
How do we know if we have the old recalled model or the new one?
@@cindymeS2My Dollar Tree has a 8.5 x 11” sheet posted on the door showing the recalled glue gun. You might ask someone in the store, or even just do a google search for recalled DT glue gun. If any doubts remain, cut off the cord and throw in the trash!! It’s not worth the risk of a fire.
@@cindymeS2 They have XY-15302 on them! If you bought it after May-ish, it should be good because the recalled ones won't even ring up anymore but if you bought it before April, check it because it's probably a recalled one. You can throw it out or just take it to the store next time you go and exchange it for a new one or another product! Hope this helps❤🙏🏾
@@Cheray_ thank you for your super helpful reply! I just checked mine and it has XY-15302 on it!! Phew! Will have to get another!
@@cindymeS2 😉So happy my comment helped❤🙏🏾
“You are so fun and fresh to watch…Thank You🙏🏽”
Greatest help videos on RUclips! I always smile when I’m watching you with all your energy and passion for what you do. Thanks!
I use dressers in many rooms. In my dining room for towels, placemats and napkins for many different holidays, and I put my address book there and batteries. 😁 I love your videos! 🩵
I'm so glad you popped up on my feed! I hope you're having a wonderful day! You're worth it 😊
Kathryn, I have been a fan of yours for years. Your enthusiasm, creativity, and perseverance inspire me. Thank you. I hope you know you are enough as well.
I use dressers everywhere. Love them. They offer great storage and are easy to paint. Things I keep in dresser drawers include candles, seasonal tiered tray decor, linens, assorted teas, essential oils, electronic pieces/parts, games, office supplies, craft supplies….. you name it.
It's quarter till 2 in the morning and the snow has just started falling.
There doesn't seem to be a good guess as to how many inches we're going to get. Schools, municipal offices and some businesses have already posted closings. I was feeling pretty bummed. I'm 73 and snow doesn't have the appeal as it did when I was younger.
I was dreading being stuck indoors.
I tuned in to your channel and was quickly laughing, getting inspired and feeling loved. Tomorrow I'll find a fun project to do and I'll think of you.
Thank you for being you.
0:14 “they’re so simple…even my dog could do it…”
*Stares heavily at the two rent-skipping furblankets next to me…*
Kathryn you are the greatest! You have so much to teach, you’re very good at that. I really enjoy the great ideas.
Great new things! I doubt if the Dollar Tree stores in my area have all of these, but will be watching for them. You are great demonstrating these items, thank you!
There you go again, taking one man's trash & turning it into treasure. This would make a great gift box for anyone, man or woman decorated for any occasion. 💕
I always have several packs of the furniture markers in my craft collection. My favorite hack is to use them on Jenga blocks for a dark wood project!!💞
You are such an inspiration to my soul I love your channel. Thank you and as you tell us remember you are enough and more.
I never miss one of your posts, they're so informative. There's only one drawback...sometimes I like to take notes, but you are such a fast talker that it's almost impossible without constantly going back. Any chance of slowing down? Your posts are always so jam packed, I'll bet you could almost get two out of the one. You're doing a great job, just take a breath, Sweetie. Love you.
You can slow down RUclips videos in the settings. Just change the playback speed.
Best part when you said you are enough. I needed that.
Omg! Resin? Love that idea and I had know idea that Dollar Store carried wood burner tool, and I’m so happy the puppy turned out adorable. I do have an upright dresser that I got almost 30 years ago. Almost the same look as yours, but I used it for all my gift boxes, tissue paper, ribbon, bows, cards. “One Stop” locator no matter the holidays, birthday, shower, wedding…it’s in there. Except for wrapping paper that a whole different story…Vintage 😁 you know what I mean. Thank you so much for the pick me up. Your so Awesome!!
❤ Catherine you make my day! God bless everything that you do! Thank you, thank you thank you, lots of love
I love all the new ideas you give us! Thanks so much!
Love all the tips and tricks.. you always amaze me with ur videos. Ur so awesome.. and such a ray of sunshine. Your so enough &amazing Kathryn
I use my childhood French Provencal dresser as a sideboard in my kitchen. I store baking pans, aprons and cake decorating supplies in the drawers. I use small chest of drawers in place of end tables and store games and blankets in the drawers.
I love everything, Kathryn! I love the picture idea! As always, Kathryn, thank you for sharing all of your hard work, creativity, talent, and inspiration! Stay safe, healthy, and positive! God bless you and your family!🙏❤️🇺🇸😊
LOVE your tips and tricks. OMGggg! I’ve flipped 6 houses and didn’t even know that PAINT SCRAPER TOOL EXISTED!! I’m new here and I have to say it is your happy upbeat and positivity that drew me in. The hacks are just icing on the cake. ❤❤❤
I can’t wait to try the resin flower bowl 👍🏽
Thank you for all you do! I love how cheerful all your videos. Thx for the great ideas always. I look forward to your videos🥰
Thanks for sharing all the tips from Dollar Tree. I find so many craft ideas at my Dollar Tree. So much fun!!
I love that picture transfer process.
Prayers and Comfort!
So crafty and you get so much in a video. Love you being upbeat. You make everything look easy. Thanks for your amazing ideas.
I love your content and your message. ❤
Love this idea for spring!
Thank You ❤ I needed to see you and your video today❣️ I especially liked the hacks in this one! I want to do the coat rack/hooks. I’ve been debating on doing my desk top with the wallpaper as I work from home and want to make my space a little more enjoyable so to speak. I have a lot of other ideas too and I’m so grateful for you and your videos! Both very inspiring and uplifting ☮️💟
Inherited tall dresser right when you walk into our home: top two smaller drawers-quick catch all, then my oils, then band-aid, medicines, baby wipes, travel size tissue, lint roller, etc. divided among the last 3. We have kids, so it's much easier to pull out a band-aids etc. downstairs than to run upstairs.
Dressers: I have one in my dining room as a sideboard, and one in my kitchen, because I don't have a lot of cupboard space. I also have a large tool organizer ( wooden top, from Sam's Club) as a kitchen island. Works fantastic!
I use a dresser in our loving room as a TV stand! It holds our DVDs, video games and lots of blankets.
Kathryn you have the best crafts, hacks & ideas!❤
Oh my gosh! So many good ideas. As someone said already... I'll have to watch it again.
Purchase the dresser from someone's driveway for $15. Cleaned itop put lining in each drawer 5 of them. Filled it with yarn! Happy dance
These were so great! I love your energy! Blessings and Peace ✝️❤️
Love love looove this video! So many great items!💜💗
This is my favorite channel. I can't help but just love you! Thanks for sharing, and caring!
I have a dresser in my kitchen that I store a variety of things in, including tools and hardware. I also have a long dresser in my dining room that fits under my window, and it stores craft supplies. My grandparents used a wash stand/small dresser in their kitchen and set their microwave on top.
Yes!!! I just painted my dresser with milk paint and took off the hardware and painted those a contrasting color and now it is in my entryway instead of my bedroom. Makes it easier to put things down when entering the house and to tidy up quickly by putting random items in the drawers.
I like your encouraging words. Thank you! 💕🌻☀️🦋
The dresser and table came out nice Kathryn!!!
"You break it, you buy it." That was funny! 😆
The “you are enough” chokes me up so many times lately. I love it. 😅
“You break it you buy it” 😂
Poor lady!
The end of the video is priceless. 😅🥰
You're a Blessing!!
Thank you, you're such an inspiration 🥰
OMG OMG that last picture hack. What?! It blew my mind
Love the video! I am adding more things to my Dollar Tree list. Blessings
The draw cabinet looks beautiful. Love the flowers in the vase. 👍🥰
Can't get enough of your video's. There are such great ideas for all of us. Thank you
Yessss the sponge brush packs from the auto section!! I love dollar store hauls & finding the most for my $ it’s so much fun to hunt for everything!
"You break it, you buy" 😆
😂 Love the PSA on if you break it, you buy it police! Lol!!
Genius idea with the picture transfer to board !!!! Nice!!!!
You r just so lovely to watch. Thanks for those tips. The dresser looks amazing!!
