Contemporary Furniture Makeover | Building A New Wood Base

[@arlenelamont5610]

Women teaching women! Such a wonderful act of caring. My dad, brothers nor husband had the patience to teach me. But I have watched DIY videos and learned to overcome my fears and accomplish my goals. Fearless ladies -- my heroes!

[@gabrielmaroto18]

😻❤️

[@jorgealeman4985]

Also teaching man jajaja, i do furniture and i always see her vudeos to know stuff i dont know and ofcourse to se all the beauty things she does.

[@smallone9825]

Same here darling....power too the women 😘

[@Luckypanther]

Man here, I refurnish furniture.

[@Drmarston]

Good job! A couple tips from a woodworker.. use a heat gun to take the stickers off, and when using pocket screws, clamp the pieces together to stop them from moving when you drive the screws in.

[@aalovelace2776]

Love your videos - no self promoting bs, pleasant music not overdone, good quality camera work, specific instructions - just a pleasure to watch. Thank you!

[@pattimercer9357]

So proud of you Katie!!!! Job well done! That chest totally looked taupe in your garage, but inside the house, it is definitely green!!

[@AngelaWhistler]

Can I just say I LOVE when you say you’re not sure how to do something but you’re willing to try and figure it out anyway! I love that you’re willing to work with “less desirable” pieces which would take up just as much room at the landfill and in a shorter amount of time. They can still be gorgeous useful profitable pieces. I just snagged my first curb alert 3 drawer bureau so here goes nothin! I want to turn it into an “anything you want it to be” modern cabinet with a new base & legs. Excited!

[@brendatomlinson]

You’re hands-down the best at re-styling and transforming pieces. Amazing transformation!

[@paradisoperduto6301]

You can really see the sage green undertone of the paint in the bright, natural light. Great job! I love this piece!

[@susanmorris-smith5509]

Well done Katie!!! I love Andrea at DIY Wife as well… she is absolutely delightful! Sincerely, Susan

[@diannamacdonald3716]

NataLee from Designed to the Nines always encourages women to use power tools. She would be so proud of you! I think you did a fantastic job and was really surprised that this was your first time adding wood work to a piece. 💕

[@marilynrobinson6910]

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! And I’m super proud of you as well for trying something new!!!

[@elizabethevanskiikka2184]

I love Saturdays with k.scott! Always so fun to watch you flip furniture and see your designs come to life!

[@TheJestersYarn]

Thank you so much for this. The fact that you AREN'T talking about how 'easy' the base is to build, is boosting my confidence. I might actually get brave enough to try it now!! 💛

[@diywife]

Way to go, you built that base like a pro! And of course the transformation is beautiful as always!

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

I have a similar piece. It has the same base. Different top. It was the first ever piece of furniture I bought. It was the summer after I graduated. 1993. Lol. I’m handing it down to my daughter. I’ve planned on painting it. But a new base is a great idea! I’m a woodworker and I already have a Kroger jig. So I’m set. I’m super proud of you making your base. Awesome! I love this piece.

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Oh yeah.... I see green.

[@elizabethmendoza4413]

Honestly kudos to use for trying something new it’s really scary going outside of your comfort zone It looks absolutely beautiful

[@anniejones2640]

Listen Katie Scott, I know doing something new on camera was nerve racking but I had no doubt you would slay! You are so smart and so pretty and I believe in you. You are the first person to show me how to paint furniture and you give this girl faith that I can do it too.

[@giftofgab131]

The amount of detail in this video is amazing....

[@SomeBuddy777]

Back in the day, chests like this cedar one, but usually with a solid lid and not glued on tapestry, were called "hope chests". A young lady would crochet or embroider linens for the home she hoped to someday have. If she was fortunate enough, she would inherit nice linen table cloths or napkins. The bed linens were always new, and she would embroider the trimming on them. 💘

[@ava_f]

Claims not to be good at something and then knocks it out of the park! Another beauty.

[@leighterry943]

U’re. Awesome! I started doing this 20 yrs ago, but I can’t do it anymore due to chronic illness that limits my mobility! I so enjoy watching u! This piece is stunning! 💜🥰😻2U!

[@me68206]

I really like and appreciate that you went outside of your comfort zone and made that base and took us along for the ride. The base looks very professional and the finished piece looks very smart. Well done you!

[@barbmccarthy6811]

Thank you for sharing your very first experience in building the base. You did a wonderful job Katie. And that colour is a beautiful green. Well done again.

[@31kittykatty]

Amazing transformation, you are amongst the best of the furniture flippers and I am learning so much from you. Thank you from the UK.

[@md61211]

She truly is, isn't she!!

[@KathleenMansfield-f7r]

Ok… I’d say it’s creamy gray green! It’s lovely and that color would be a lovely wall color!

[@sarahhansen762]

I love Andrea too. She has made me want to try this. I’m so glad you tried first. 😂

[@junesolomonson5643]

On the contrary, I think this means you really are a woodworker. Beautiful work!

[@bettinabarry8423]

Congratulations on the DIY Wife inspired new base legs --- it looks superb --- the whole piece does!! The dried sage color is perfect for the chest!!

[@g.d.anonymous8235]

You were as clear as day in explaining your processes. No worries.

[@aot9644]

Loved the satisfied nod you gave when you knocked off the piece of trim on the bottom! Kudos to you for trying something new. You breathed new life into this piece. It looks tons better.

[@pamelairvin3164]

Wonderful results! You are blessed to have the garage space and compressor for spraying your finishes, but exploring outside your comfort zone is the real victory!

[@tiannadenunzio985]

This is absolutely STUNNING! I don’t normally comment on videos but this blew me away. Your channel is so inspiring!

[@hamsonthehill]

Katie, although I am a huge fan of Andrea of DIY Wife, you are second to none. If you lived in my area of the USA, I would be a frequent customer. I love your transformations. And ofcourse your spirit.

[@Stephrob0523]

So proud of you. You pushed yourself to do something you’ve never done. Once again you got me inspired ❤️

[@joycohen938]

I looove that colour! To me it looks more green but a neutral one…if that makes sense. It’s really calming and soft. Congratulations on your first wood working venture. You did great! Those saws scare the jeepers out of me! Beautiful result❤

[@melodypanek448]

Congrats for building the new base all by yourself! You have a lot to be proud of!

[@alentrevor]

and Mrs T well done brave lady great job looks lovely

[@calico_mojo]

Great job, it turned out beautiful! I have no doubt that you can continue learning the carpentry skills to enhance your flips. ⭐

[@pamelaallen6543]

WOW!!! This went from a frumpy old bench, to a very classy bench. I have a dresser that could use the beautiful modern legs, so thank you, mucho!

[@roshawndalight7470]

You did a great job in this one! I think you have opened a whole new world for yourself with the wood build. Looking forward to more masterpieces from you! 💖💖💖

[@TheresaHoughten-tb7oe]

That is absolutely beautiful and I love to see how your mind works. You run into a problem you don’t just throw your hands up and walk away you figure it out. You did a really good job on that base. The color is lovely and I don’t usually go for modern furniture, but I love the lines of this, great job!

[@christinaamezquita991]

This piece turned out beautiful! I’m totally inspired to fix a few pieces in my home with that beautiful base! Great job!

[@juliewohlfarth9627]

Love it! Funny how beige while painting but definite date when done and inside! Love the natural base!!

[@clc1302]

I’m so proud of you! Your vision is unbelievable! I love what you did!

[@sueharki8280]

love you I've refinished furniture for over 50 years and you're the best I've seen on you tube

[@Julie-rc7wl]

Admire your making that base! Love that feeling of doing something you've never done before and loving the final outcome! Whoot!

[@markarnold159]

Bravo on the remake. The base looks great also! Thanks for showing how to do it!!! Keep em comin'!!!!!!

[@mybabyischubby]

YESSSS !! Ever since I've subscribed to your channel, I've been hoping you'd start using power tools.. You've totally got this !! Legs look great !!

[@Alicia-ig7cv]

You did so good,as always! Love your honesty and humble character. The big momma's butta really transforms wood.

[@sandraussery3326]

Katie you are a miracle worker! That outdated chest looked like "crap" (excuse the language), but the truth is welcome in Heaven...you completely updated it and even though it was beige in the workshop, it was definitely a dry sage in the house and beautiful, It was!! Girl you are amazing!

[@rondagold2004]

Terrific Job! I love that you overcame your woodworking fear and went for the base yourself. Well done! I just started working with wood at the end of last year. I'm in my sixties but decided I'm never too old to learn something new. First project was a large walk-in master closet/dressing room. I understand that speechlessness associated with pulling off a new skill. Woop!

[@salvagedbykscott]

Yay! It’s pretty empowering when you complete a job that you never thought you’d be capable of ❤️

[@jackieclark817]

Yippee Katie!!! Must feel so good to get that base built all by yourself! Another awesome job!

[@ladonnawashington1643]

Like Christina said, You killed it! WhooooHooooo!!!

[@ReconstructingEmily]

I was so happy when you just hammer off the top trim. That along with taking the handles off made a world of difference. I feel like you described it best, remove all the things you don't like to start. Even if you don't know what you want to do, sometimes the vision comes after that.

[@roswithakeil7619]

Usually I don't love furniture with green color but this piece looks extraordinary and it is real precious after the refurbish! 👍👍👍

[@gwynpavon5988]

We love DIY Mom. We have built her base too at least 3 times!

I find her husband really off putting. Makes it hard for me to get through the video.

I have a cedar chest from the 70’s and all I’d have to do would put a base on it and I’ve been wanting to try …. You have given me the inspiration to try. Thank you. Love all your videos.

[@dot2dal]

I love that you made your own base. So beautiful. I have also wanted to use the diy wife tutorial to try my own base in the future. Great job learning how to use the kraig jig! They are kind of complicated at first! But a very useful tool!

[@juliaforbes-nish9027]

Sage as in the plant is a pale dusky green so I think the colour is spot on Well done Katie with your new skills

[@md61211]

I recognized that base the minute I saw it in the thumbnail. Was sooo glad you gave credit to DIY Wife, whose videos I also watch (but not as much as I watch yours) & whose signature base was the one you used. Was really pleased you gave her that shout out. Love your channel even more now (is that actually possible?).

Always gotta give credit where credit is due! It’s super important to me to build up and shout out all the genius ideas that come out of our furniture community.

Brilliant transformation and well done you on building the new base. Hats off.

[@virginiafreeman5160]

I wish I would of followed my heart and took wood working instead of home economics in high school. But I was a girl growing up in the 70's and when I mentioned to my friends I wanted to take wood working all of them laughed at me. So I learned how to cook, which I hate to do! But now I pass time by watching youtube videos and learning from people like you. Your piece came out beautiful and am inspired to do what I always knew was in my heart to do. Thanks for sharing.
