Though I am one of those people who prefers natural wood, I knew as soon as I saw the damage to the top that would be too labor intensive and expensive to repair. Then I saw the gorgeous gold handles against the emerald green and I literally sat here with my mouth open. If you didn't live in Canada, I'd ask how much you wanted and when I can pick it up. As someone said below, I'm sick of the "white distressed" look. Its incredibly refreshing to see someone who isn't afraid of color, and can envision and create such a gorgeous masterpiece. You truly are an "artist". Thank you for the inspiration!
Katie, I’m in Florida so I can’t buy your revamped furniture but I would love to own some of your creations. They are truly beautiful. You have amazing vision. As to the nay sayers. I love to watch RUclips videos. It’s my form of entertainment. I have learned that there are people out there that love to criticize, ridicule, and attack people’s confidence. They are going to always be out there. My advice to you is to ignore them and enjoy what you do. Don’t let anyone take that from you. Most of us enjoy watching you create. Do it for us. I’ve seen RUclips creators who are amazing give up because of the nay sayers. When you deal with the public you need to have thick skin. Thank you for sharing your creativity.
I loved the end result, and never understand why people get upset when you can transform something that has seen better days into a beautiful new piece of furniture. Well done and subscribed to live vicariously through your makeovers.
It absolutely blows my mind that people would even put negative comments about the great work you're doing...... You are a fabulous artist a wonderful Creator there's nothing that you have done that even deserves negative feedback..... This is art at the end of the day and you are sharing your creativity with us..... Keep up the good work and I just want to let you know that your videos in my eyes are appreciated 100%..... And your furniture is amazing. And the people who leave negative comments about your work.... Maybe we should be asking to see theirs. I'm just getting started in this and your videos inspire me every time Thank you so much for sharing
Sorry someone criticized your work. You have a good eye for color, and I love the way you repurpose items that would hit the junk heap otherwise. Good job!
I am very proud of you for making a living from what clearly appears to be a passion for restoring old teasers ... Well done and I love your work :) From Melbourne, Australia xo
Taking a vintage piece of furniture which was obviously not functional and turning it into a beautiful updated piece is awesome! Keep on doing what you do best!
One of the best diy channels by far. Definitely has me re-imagining the items (i never really paid attention to) during my thrift store/habitat ventures 👍🏽👍🏽🙄
100% agree. Katie and her fabulous channel has inspired me to revamp some of my old furniture and I have gone a little crazy, but am loving it. Every time I look at a piece of furniture somewhere now I re-imagine what it could look like.
Given the damage on the top and the pb and veneer combo, this piece wouldn't have much of a profit margin left if repaired to a natural wood look. Totally the right choice to paint it!
I love your straight forward ness... my kind of person... thank you for saying it the way it is... if they don't like your stuff, then they need to move along... period. Absolutely beautiful stunning piece... thank you for sharing your experience and inspiration with me... Johannesburg South Africa
Beautiful piece. Love the green. I just can not believe some people rather see a piece thrown to the landfills instead of upcycled into a fabulous new one... my motto is: “go recycle it the way you want it”...
How anyone can criticize taking a piece of furniture that frankly looks like poop and give it a new face is beyond me. Do they not realize you are saving it from the dump pile. I'm all about repurposing furniture to every decade. Keep being you. It's a breath of fresh air.
😂😂 I’m just picturing you racing out to pick up the furniture. It would be something I’d do. I love the finished colour and those drawer pulls are wonderful. They make the piece.
I love this and SOOOOO agree with what you put above about the nasty comments. I get so annoyed when people think it's terrible to paint anything. Who cares? It's made beautiful and at the end of the day, IT IS JUST furniture, not a human life.
Love the amulet color!....so fresh and calm and soothing to look at!...am really enjoying your work....I am not into the distressed look for myself!....thank you for sharing!...God bless y’all stay healthy and safe!
Ha ha I just found you thru my feed RUclips. Love the intro... some furniture are best left alone others u just have to paint. It’s alll on the furniture it talks to you. If that’s what “ it “ wants paint it 😄❤️💕😄. New subscriber here. I love how it turned out.
I liked how she explained every step instead of assuming folks know what tools are or how to use them. I was worried about the streaks too. 👍Thanks from a newbie
I’m usually not a fan of changing mid century pieces from wood to paint but this was actually a beautiful improvement. It had seen better days and the laminate top was damaged anyhow. I have a similar piece in dark walnut. Looks like an end table. Same legs and laminate top. Been thinking of painting it as well if the damage on the sides doesn’t sand out. Thanks for the inspiration!
Why would anyone be offended by you making over anything. You give discarded pieces a second chance. All of your pieces are gorgeous. Love your vision for every piece you makeover.
I was a bit shocked at first. Lucky I kept an open mind. It's stunning. My ex is an antique dealer and I live wood but this is beautiful because it modernise the piece. Thank you!
Katie .. I always recommend your unique , classic, timeless style to fellow furniture lovers .. I love how humble & knowledgeable you are as time goes on ( I’ve followed you for ages !) I’m new to Instagram’ cupboard love Northampton’ .. I’m 50 & re discovering my love of furniture since my babies left home .. your colour palette is just beautiful- a true artist ! Love from England .. Sarah xx
Katie, your designs are just beautiful. You have the unique ability to envision such great color for each piece. I wish I had such skill and talent. You really make me want to achieve more. Thanks so much.
Disclaimer: I AM EXTREMELY Offended that you took that vintage MCM veneered mass produced chiped plastic guide particle board dresser and made it into a quality masterpiece. The most offensive part of this entire ordeal... you didn't even mask the back panel particle board. I should point out you didn't get even a teeny bit of either shade of green on it. HOW? What wizardry is this? Offended, indeed. XO
LMAO! I've been getting SO many comments about me ruining furniture. I'm so glad that you see what I see. and yes, it magic! (or perhaps just that spraying paint isn't as messy as you'd imagine.) Thanks for watching.
Some things I’m like don’t paint but others I’m ok with. It depends on the item for me but I’ll still watch your videos. I love watching what the end look; looks like❤️
Hi Katie! This is AMAZING!!! I love it!!! Keep up the creative and beautiful work. Thank you for sharing... very inspiring. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
To respond to your comment about your jump in subscribers- I think I subscribed a few days ago. I have a couple of pieces I plan to paint and I want them to look beautiful, rather than just ‘redone’. I appreciate your knowledge and expertise in terms of what sand paper to use, how to perform a test section, what to coat it with once it’s painted, going BACK over with 320 grit sandpaper, etc. Those are all noteworthy tips and I will definitely use them on the two pieces I have. Thank you so very much!!
Love the hardware...I have the same shaped ones in stainless steel in my kitchen! Lovely shape, they fit the hand perfectly. Reminds me of waves and suited our new sea change home. I would buy that piece in a heartbeat. From South Australia. 🇦🇺
Hi there Katie! I’ve just found you today!! ... I’m Debby from Melbourne, Australia! Love your work!! I love you doing a modern do-over!! I’m not really a super cottage look style person, your cleaner simpler approach I’m loving. I have some vintage (grandparents) furniture that I want to try to put in my new home ( as yet unfinished !!!). Again its going to need to have a modern feel. You are inspiring me!! Hey ... if they don’t work out ..... ehh!! So I’m going to binge watch all your work, and get inspired! Thanks Katie 💜 from Deb PS. Being in Melbourne we are in lockdown too!! SIGH!!! Hope the world gets better soon xx
Hi Katie! You did a beautiful job. Really made the best out of a piece that had seen better days. Love the color. Love that you use power tools and a sprayer. And your eye for decorating is spot on! Less is more. Show off the beauty of the PIECE, not the stuff, right? Also, you got it right again by hanging the little pic low over the cabinet. Most people hang art too high and it becomes "disconnected" from the setting. You did that just right too! NICE!!!
This piece is absolutely beautiful. The shape, the color choice and hardward blend to a modern MCM esthetic but current for now. And frankly for a long long time if cared for. Great choice. Wonderful job.
I came over to check out your RUclips channel as soon as Crys'Dawna mentioned it. I absolutely love the color of this piece and the way you updated this Mid-Modern dresser. Glad to find another person that loves color like I do. You have helped me make up my mind to once again step outside of my comfort zone painting. Thanks for a great video !!

Katie, of all the many RUclips furniture painters and redesigners you have something special to offer !! Your love of the pieces alone stands out and your color selections and hardware choices are just so new and refreshing. Thanks from a total fan 🙏
So happy for your boost in subscribers! I love natural wood too but I want to be a better painter when I decide something is too damaged & needs to be painted. Or would just look really cool painted. I love how much I learn from your videos!!
To be honest, I prefer to restore over redo on period furniture, but there are times where - especially if the choices are redo or landfill - the redo is the better option. So I was really apprehensive until I saw what it was you were working with, and it's condition. I also thought it was a good choice to darken the colour. Really lovely outcome for that piece. Nice work, Katie.

The perfect green and those drawer pulls are everything!!! ❤️
Subscribed as soon as I saw you're not afraid of color. Can only watch so many videos of 'paint white + distress'. Keep up the beautiful work!
So true
Love your work, please keep sharing it with us.
I loved the end result, and never understand why people get upset when you can transform something that has seen better days into a beautiful new piece of furniture. Well done and subscribed to live vicariously through your makeovers.
Lol. Thank you for subscribing!
I love this disclaimer. It's your property you can do what you want with it and what you do is gorgeous work 😍
I love the green color combined with the golden hardware! So beautiful!

Beautiful piece. Love the green. I just can not believe some people rather see a piece thrown to the landfills instead of upcycled into a fabulous new one... my motto is: “go recycle it the way you want it”...
What a beautiful transformation. Those pulls were gorgeous and still made it look vintage. Loved it.
How anyone can criticize taking a piece of furniture that frankly looks like poop and give it a new face is beyond me. Do they not realize you are saving it from the dump pile. I'm all about repurposing furniture to every decade. Keep being you. It's a breath of fresh air.
Love the green -- hardware is very chic ! Looks great-- anyone would be proud to have that in their home !
my wife and I love your work, we are impressed by how you transform garbage into jewelry. a hug from Venezuela.
Thank you so much 😊

Beautiful work and beautiful end result! This channel is one of my favorites 😊
This is beautiful, love the color. The darker color is more beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Such a beautiful color & love the hardware.
K Brooks I was almost sad to see the hardware go, but I love what she chose instead!
This looks fantastic. The shade of green is just beautiful.
I just found your channel! You are so talented!!
Love the amulet color!....so fresh and calm and soothing to look at!...am really enjoying your work....I am not into the distressed look for myself!....thank you for sharing!...God bless y’all stay healthy and safe!
You have a beautiful eye for color, the green is so saturated and classy!
Dresser turned out absolutely stunning!!!!!

GORGEOUS! Love that colour with the gold hardware.
I wish I was near or you were near me! I’d buy all of your pieces!
Gorgeous!!!! I just love seeing your process…..so inspiring! You’re just so talented. ❤😊
I love this and how you just used very little accessories on top. I subbed.
Why would anyone be offended by you making over anything. You give discarded pieces a second chance. All of your pieces are gorgeous. Love your vision for every piece you makeover.
It looks good, but I would add metal caps on the leg's the same color as hardware.
That's what I thought too
I like that idea too
Those metal caps (or exact/close to it spray paint) would be the ultimate cherries on top.
OMG, where has this channel been. It has never come up before when I searched furniture rehab or painting. I am glad it came up now.
Just beautiful Katie. I’m in love lately with mid century modern pieces. Really enjoy your work!
I think furniture is meant to be enjoyed and loved! I hate when someone says "don't paint it"! If that makes you love it more than do it!
I was a bit shocked at first. Lucky I kept an open mind. It's stunning.
My ex is an antique dealer and I live wood but this is beautiful because it modernise the piece.
Thank you!
You get a like just being from Ontario. We need more Canadian RUclipsrs
I'll take it!

This is a nice refurb. I've watched this a couple of times. Might be my fav.
THIS CHANNEL WAS FOR ME FROM THE FIRST TIME I SAW YOUR VIDEOS - WAY TO GO AND GREAT BRAVO !!!
Love your work. You see something and always do the right design by it.
Some things I’m like don’t paint but others I’m ok with. It depends on the item for me but I’ll still watch your videos. I love watching what the end look; looks like❤️
Wow! I didn't used even like green bit you've rapidly changed my mind. You always pick just the right handles too truly amazing! my job don't stop xx
So sleek! And yep, the darker color was better💥💥💥💥 Brilliant choice on the pulls.
Enjoy watching your videos! So clear and easy to follow! Thank you!
Love the colour of the paint. Hardware was great as well. You do nice work lady. I enjoy watching you perform your magic.
Thanks for watching
Awesome video, LOVE the color and the drawer pulls you chose. AMAZING !
Such a great take on mid-century lines. Great color
Love the deeper shade. Beautiful job!
What lovely work!!! The green with gold handles...i love it
Hi Katie! This is AMAZING!!! I love it!!! Keep up the creative and beautiful work. Thank you for sharing... very inspiring. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Oh and that hardware is to die for!!!!!!
How could anyone be offended by such beautiful transformations?

Thank you so much for your kind words and support 🥰

I loved!!! All your projects are very nice, thank you for sharing, for teaching us your knowledge, thank you. Blessings!!!
And you have a lovely touch with staging/ decor. Really love your tasteful & restrained finish photos, oh yes, I subscribed!
Your furniture flips are amazing. You have a great style ! I'm very inspired by you.
That golden pop over the green. Great Job
I like that smooth look Katie. Really nice piece. Thank you!
Hi there Katie! I’ve just found you today!! ... I’m Debby from Melbourne, Australia! Love your work!! I love you doing a modern do-over!!

Wonderful colour and I like the subtle decoration you chose.

Love all your videos, you surely are gifted with talent to see potential beauty in every piece of furniture.
This piece is absolutely beautiful. The shape, the color choice and hardward blend to a modern MCM esthetic but current for now. And frankly for a long long time if cared for. Great choice. Wonderful job.
Great job! First I’ve seen refinishing veneers!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Your videos are restful, informative and you don’t talk too much. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
It’s lovely, what a difference, good job!!

Oh you helped that dresser look so much better! Beautiful job.
I’m glad you think so 😉

Such a simple desihn executed with elegance! Love it🥰
Nice disclaimer! 😆 And beautiful color and drawer pulls!!! 😮 I love the outcome!
I don't usually pick up that style of dresser, even for free, because I never have that kind of vision, but, WOW! You made it come back gorgeous!!
I avoided them for a long time too. Thank you for watching!
Katie, of all the many RUclips furniture painters and redesigners you have something special to offer !! Your love of the pieces alone stands out and your color selections and hardware choices are just so new and refreshing. Thanks from a total fan 🙏
Wow, thank you!
I love the green you use .thank you very much for making me happy!❤
Wow wow wow... it came out fantastic. Love the drawer pulls you put on it❣
Thanks so much 😊
Night and day! Loved it
So happy for your boost in subscribers! I love natural wood too but I want to be a better painter when I decide something is too damaged & needs to be painted. Or would just look really cool painted. I love how much I learn from your videos!!
Hi, Katie. I LIKE all the beautiful pieces you had painted! Thanks for sharing all your project. (I'm learning of course!). Regards. ❤️
To be honest, I prefer to restore over redo on period furniture, but there are times where - especially if the choices are redo or landfill - the redo is the better option. So I was really apprehensive until I saw what it was you were working with, and it's condition. I also thought it was a good choice to darken the colour. Really lovely outcome for that piece. Nice work, Katie.
Just found your channel yesterday. Binging. Beautiful makeovers. Love, love, love this dresser transformation.
Welcome!!
What a beautiful transformation!! you are talented!
I'm going through all your videos now and it is SO satisfying to watch the paint gun do its thing 😂.
I love your work! The green is beautiful.
