I love my Lumē! Their new sweat line is great, their cleansing bar is fab, and I can't live without their wipes when my pain and mobility make bathing impossible. I need to try their new spray and restock so thanks for the discount!

[@toniwilsey2763]

Idk know if anyone has said this, but you do an excellent job of narrating your videos. This nightstand turned out beautiful as usual.

[@salvagedbykscott]

Glad you liked it! 😄

[@trudyeby464]

@toniwilsey2763 Yes, she does! Calm voice and explains things well. She is a great teacher

[@jenniferhooks2454]

Your makeover of that nightstand was spectacular! I think the rwo feet you created out of one looked perfectly in scale for that piece of furniture. All around excellent job!

[@AliceBrady-fx3ux]

Yes, I have watched many refinishers / flippers, and she has the best commentary/ narration!

[@colleenkidwell5820]

Glad you saved the drawer and door veneer. Brilliant idea and execution on the feet!

[@Viatrix1854]

Wow, Katie. What a transformation. This went from no kerb appeal, to a piece anyone would be happy to own. Kudos to the person who suggested cutting the remaining foot in half and to you for making look like it was always intended to be that. Superb! 👍😊

[@salvagedbykscott]

I totally agree!

[@jill552]

“Skills practice” is how to make the journey for many things in life. I love that you took this on.

[@lindaposta939]

A lot of “furniture artists” would say that it wasn’t worth the time or expense to save this. I get it it is a business. But you are truly committed to saving these old girls from the landfill even if it isn’t the most profitable. Looks great, it is perfectly imperfect and has a tale to tell!

[@brianandtamiolson2330]

I’m such a beginner but you simplify the process so nicely. I have two old outdated nightstands.they are so durable and useful that I want to try staining and painting but didn’t know where to start. You have given me with this video, and all your videos, the courage to try my hand at a new look. Thank you for the inspiration and step by step easy to follow instructions. Love from California ❤️

[@salvagedbykscott]

I’m so glad I could help inspire you! I always try to break things down step by step so anyone can follow along. ❤️

[@susangladstone357]

I knew you’d bring it back to life Kate but I couldn’t imagine how. Watching your vlog is like watching an Agatha Christy mystery - and you always solve it in the end! Beautiful work - thanks for sharing;) -

[@salvagedbykscott]

So glad you enjoyed the process! I always love a good mystery 😉

[@dshey6802]

Those feet are so darn cute. What an adorable bed side table you recreated, Katie!

[@aok2727]

So sweet. The front foot detail is absolutely perfect.

[@mary-garner67merz]

I am in awe at your vision and skill set... watching you bring these pieces back to life is a joy. Thank you!

[@norawotton5440]

I’m so impressed that you restored this - you’re an environmental hero!

[@lindabunce5133]

You did fantastic! What a great idea with the legs. What a difference!

[@maliabryngelson5581]

That you were able to save this piece is truly amazing! It looks so beautiful!

[@kayhenry6293]

Something that old isn’t supposed to be perfect. It looks amazing now.

[@trudyeby464]

Thank you for rescuing this. I love waterfall furniture!

[@cookiepfeffer8196]

I like the back to basics restoration videos from time to time. It reminds me that almost anything can be restored.💖💖💖

[@melodiehight3424]

The two feet from the one big foot turned out GREAT! 👍🏻

[@cindyredditt5094]

Beautiful job Katie! It truly did get saved from the trash.

[@leavesongrass]

Seeing how you dealt with the separating layer of veneer and underlayment is so helpful!!

[@joansmall9019]

I love art deco style, and you did justice for this piece. It was in really bad shape, and you made it new again. You have patience with these pieces, and it shows.

[@coleenburgess6689]

I love pieces like this that push your skillset to the limit with no risk. Whats learned in the process is worth the time spent even if it never sells. It also widens future project choices instead of limiting yourself to only taking on the pieces that are in near perfect condition to begin with. What I learned today with that foot fix changes everything for me!!

[@salvagedbykscott]

Totally agree, the learning experience is the best part! 👍

[@danielleweston1492]

Oh KS, you made this great again! I am also working on a VERY vintage nightstand right now. Thanks again for all of the inspiration you bring to all of us!

[@cristiwinstead5558]

Beautiful, your dedication to finish a project is wonderful.

[@teresacathey8189]

Hello Katie. Yes, it is a million times better. You always do a beautiful 0:15 job on your furniture pieces. Thank you for sharing❤❤❤ 0:15

[@user-uj8dh7gf4g]

Being a “life long learner” and taking on a challenging project is not only great for your mind but is an excellent model for your kids to learn from. It is also wonderful for us to watch! Thank you. (It’s beautiful btw.)

[@conchitalopez9269]

Love your detailed explanation of the strategy behind each step . The final result is stunning!

[@brd2122]

Perhaps your most impressive restoration (and I have watched all of your videos)

[@katjones1225]

Talk about trash to treasure! Blown away by this transformation!

[@shellydehart8217]

I think you did awesome job on it. Really liked the idea of cutting the one foot of it to make two. Thanks to the person who gave you that idea. Katy, you do amazing work in restoring or refinishing a piece of furniture. Once again, way to go Katy! ♥️🥰👍🌟🌟

[@LikeUwhereThere]

Katie! U are my favorite all around furniture flipper to watch, for many reasons, not just the flip. U did wonders on this lil piece of history. She's a beauty once again. Great job! Keep up the good work. Well wishes to u & ur fam 🫶

[@vm5610]

Kudos to you! You brought that disaster back to life! Your vision to see through the "junk" is amazing!

[@nanny8675309]

I love when people take things that look hopeless because the transformation is so great. You did an amazing job, way better than anybody could’ve imagined. Thank you for saving another piece headed for the landfill.

[@mousiebrown943]

That Art Deco handle is Everything ! Love the "waterfall" edge.❤

[@nancystowell4877]

Katie; Thank you for saving that "old Lady" - I've a very weak spot in my heart for Art Deco and sometimes I see pieces that just make me so sad, this one however, as soon as I saw this one & knew that you would give it the love it needed, I smiled and thought; Yes! And I was right, You not only saved her, you made her beautiful again. And saving the Bakelite!♥♥♥! Again; Thank you, and please, keep sharing your skills/Art with us. ♥♥♥!

[@theresazimmerman4010]

So fun to watch. Love your creativity with the front feet! Unbelievable save.

[@schammond8993]

I love to see old things brought back to life. Great job.

[@lorimrasek7611]

I love watching how you bring furniture back to life, this piece is outstanding.

[@judywilliamson2068]

Oh my goodness! You are my Furniture hero! I hate to see the thing is go to the landfill. This morning I was feeling a little bit like I needed to go to the landfill myself. I have to have my right hip and knee operated on this next year and today is my “daughter’s 54th birthday” needless to say, I’m feeling a little ancient myself! But hopefully once a good doctor gets a hold of one hip and knee, and with some great moisturizers and a little paint on my face😜 I’ll start looking (close) to as good as one of your projects! L O L

[@mousiebrown943]

Never give up; never give in!

[@jennlizzy2019]

Wow, this one was a PROJECT!! You showcased how very talented you are. Great job.

[@bobromero2485]

Beautiful! Great save on the foot.

[@debramirez2110]

It's mesmerizing watching you work, Katie. You hit this one out of the ballpark. Beautiful save. Thank you for all your tips and tricks!

[@scottieehopkins9857]

The before and after of this piece is just amazing! Thank you for sharing!

[@christhompson3655]

Great job on bringing this back to life!

[@pennyhexter3475]

I watched it twice. So many great skills.

[@lilbfly02]

Amazing! Bravo for saving it from the landfill!

[@fleurjardin1012]

You did a great job with this piece! The foot fix turned out so well. I'm glad that you were able to give it a new lease on life.

[@barbaralamoreaux328]

Excellent result from this tired piece. Glad you took in the challenge!

[@nancyanneberg403]

So thoughtful that you showed the process, our fine neighbor to the North. What I often substitute is the redoing of my own broken finds but even more,my self which I am reminded takes thot and time. Thank you for this saving. Took guts.

[@teddic6214]

I’m so glad you picked it up, Katie. It’s beautiful! Well done ❤️

[@cmitchell7347]

You definitely worked your magic on this one. Many would have passed it over as hopeless. Really nice fix on creating the feet.

[@maryruther1842]

Enjoyable to watch all the hope you felt for this piece. It’s encouraging to see something so over used become something beautiful and useable. Great work!

[@kimberlyciani570]

Katie, you have a lot of spunk! I applaud your efforts and results.

[@miriamepsteinstiles9623]

That looks amazing and beautiful and worth the effort!

[@salvagedbykscott]

It’s definitely a labour of love but I think it was worth it! 😉

[@phyllishume5854]

It is a beautiful little piece now.

[@kimberlygeorge6782]

Hi Katie! I look forward to your videos. I really enjoy watching you repair damaged pieces and bringing them back to life.

[@TheMalchikjae]

This is definitely the best restoration you’ve ever done. Good job.

[@katherineharper-sj4ys]

10:05 I’ve often heard it said that you can never have too many clamps. 😊

[@emmavik-fredriksson640]

Fantastic! The feet looks like they always been like that, what a neat solution! Great video🙌

[@annisenhour4732]

This was unbelievable

[@dorothypuntarich784]

Wow!!! What a transformation ❤

[@jeannehelmick5682]

You did a great job fixing and recreating that night stand. ❤️

[@anngibson16]

Amazing transformation!

[@marywiklander-williams6493]

Definitely 1 million times better. Looks so sweet

[@kimberlyvillanueva5817]

So pretty!

[@lindamattioli7943]

Really nice wood! You are the best !

[@jenkaa55]

Great save, Katie!

[@brendaalbaugh8927]

Great job Katie! Happy holidays!

[@marchelleasp4280]

Wow! Great work!! I have a solid elm 3 drawer dresser that needs a total rebuild…thought I’d get it for skills practice. Saving it for when I have “more time”😂

[@karenkouns577]

Impressive. Thanks for sharing!

[@galebecker3487]

Hi Katie, the wagerfall cabinet looks so lovely. ❤

[@sarahweaver2593]

Wow! Great job!

[@vandthebees9249]

Another save! Great job!

[@wilz651]

Bravo Katie

[@debr4613]

Absolutely fabulous 😍 another work of art and your skills are amazing

[@1982MsCara]

Well done! And I really enjoyed this type of video! ❤

[@nevisscot7697]

Its gorgeous

[@sherryjones255]

Amazing! Thank you.

[@kimhough7753]

It’s gorgeous Katie! Can’t believe you took on this piece of furniture…it looked like it belonged in the trash! 🥰🥰🥰

[@salvagedbykscott]

Right? It was such a mess, but I knew I could bring it back to life! ❤️

[@susanprice3377]

And you did! ❤🎉

[@evelyndole4618]

Awesome job!!!!

[@olgahernandez312]

I love it, amazing job!

[@alexandraholguin3761]

I love that it is beautiful and perfect ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Sue-j5t]

Gorgeous makeover ❤

[@akmb8211]

Très beau le petit chevet!

[@catykearney1887]

Looks wonderful! Great job!

[@pattitarniuk799]

Gorgeous Katie!!!❤

[@sarcasticinfj5310]

Your skills are amazing! Also, you are inspiring me on my own weight loss journey. ❤ from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@mousiebrown943]

Katie does look GREAT! (I'm trying...)

[@conniecline201]

Girl this is gorgeous. Your 👍

[@mousiebrown943]

This is a WONDERFUL pseudo-restoration! It was incapable of a pure restoration project, as you noted. You worked wonders! I'm asking you to possibly rethink the paint color. It's nice. It kinda works. But look at it, live with it for a few months - and see if something of a "heavier" or darker tone is more advantageous. Like tape a piece of colored paper or poster board on side & see if anything comes to mind. Just a suggestion. You've lived with it, and I believe you've picked up its "vibe." If it's not sold, revisit in January or February, maybe. It's absolutely GREAT, but I think you may find a way to make it GREATER. Thanks for the video. You leap mountaintop to mountaintop. Onward!

[@SusieMonk-jh8tj]

What a difference! Silk purse from a sows ear or what. I thought you really had lost it when you picked it up.😳🤣 I should have had more faith. Thank you Katy🫶👌

[@jenniferbuzel1622]

Fantastic rescue! Good idea on cutting the remaining foot to use on both sides. Now you’re going to need to get a small carving kit so you can make more saves like this one. 😊

[@BenjesBride]

Amazing

[@dannakinnaman7115]

I wish this little nightstand could talk. It would be thanking you for saving its life. This was very satisfying to watch. I'd always rather take something old and broken down and make it pretty again, than to buy something new.

[@BeccaAl]

It looks like a cute smiling little face by the time you beautified it! Good job.

[@hbrealhousewife2270]

It’s gorgeous. Cutting the foot in half was genius. They look perfect. 😊

[@Becky-nn3pu]

You turned an item that was absolutely heading to the landfill into a gorgeous piece of furniture! I love it!

[@gf8958-p7p]

When you opened the door to no back, I just shook my head - it was a great symbol of the problems ahead. 😊 I love the idea of sitting the broken door - that made a big difference! I wish the original knobs had been salvageable, but the hardware you selected looked great! Thank you, Katie!

[@Jesterjones9073]

Wow, what a facelift! You did a fantastic job giving it a second life. That piece was very banged up. I like the way the feet turned out. Grea job Katy.

[@kmatt132]

Beautiful

[@redesignedbynina]

This looks really nice. I have to admit that at the beginning I was sceptical about your choice of the paint colour, but everything turned out really cohesive. Well done!
