    When you cut the strips and separated the drawers I was like Katie is such a gangster! I love it 💪🏽❤️

    That was an amazing transformation. Love the dremel saw trick. I’m so happy to see you cover the drawer glides to protect from paint. It came out great for a cheap piece of furniture.

    Adding the wood strips elevated the “cool” factor! As always, an enjoyable video. Love to watch your creative process!

    Love the contrast from the wood to the blue! You really have a eye for design! 😊

    Great job! You took a cheap piece of furniture and upscaled it to something wonderful. Even better you give back to the earth by saving it from the landfill and then donating it to someone who really needs it. More flippers should do the same.

    Katie, you said it perfectly. This is furniture with a soul. It is a piece that could land anywhere in a home and provide function with style (with a capitol S). For some reason.... it just grabs me.

    Wow! Great idea for using the Dremel tool. Cutting and piecing each piece would have been an absolute nightmare. Stellar work that we have come to expect from you! Hope the new owner appreciates your hardwork. A piece I would be proud to have in my home!

  • @krickette5569
    @krickette5569 Год назад +1

    Katie! The piece you used as a work top at 12:34 is GORGEOUS! I would put that into my home exactly the way it is! I love the dresser remake too!

    Wow what an amazing transformation. If I had not saw the video I would never believe it is the same piece of furniture. I guess it just needed a little love from a artist's hand and you are an artist.

  • @anaisabelperez7356
    @anaisabelperez7356 Год назад +16

    Adding the wood strips on the drawers gives character and dimension to the piece. The color contract between the barewood and the drawers below you've picked up is perfect. Brilliant as usual!

    Creative solution to this boring little chest. You, always, come up with great, workable ideas. I am limited in my woodworking skills, so I try to do easy, manageable improvements. My idea boosters are, usually, Pinterest or RUclips creators....like YOU!!!! Thanks for posting and sharing! 👏👍✨😍❤

  • @olderwiser64
    @olderwiser64 Год назад

    Wow! I’ve got to admit, when you started adding the lattice on the bottom three drawers, I was like 😱, then when you painted the dark blue, I liked the color, but plot twist, that top drawer wasn’t working in that paint wash, and so I was not down for the lattice and unsure of the natural finish. Then I saw the knobs and thought, hmm, not what I would have picked, and then you put it all together and it was GORGEOUS!! I love it! And just confirms for me why I’m not a conceptual person and have to see something all finished. I love this one! 🤩 Brava!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
