HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE! Can you believe I thrifted this dresser for only $20!!! What a steal! This was such an easy, quick and affordable transformation! I hope this encourages you to thrift some amazing pieces for your home as well!

[@mariamangion21]

Happy Sunday 🥰

[@HomeFrugalicious]

Turned out great and for a great price 👍

[@djkreigline2760]

Djk34💖💝💘😍 are you single how old you are

[@sherryhudson9075]

Kristen, you can get the back board to go on the dresser at Lowe’s and they will cut it to size for you. It helps stabilize the dresser and also helps to keep out dust and insects

[@marysmith9824]

Such a good suggestion!!

[@katbar6066]

Totally agree. It should be done.

[@Lloydetc]

This is a helpful suggestion! I didn’t know that, and my inner ‘OC’ self is uneasy knowing it doesn’t have a backing even if it’s against the wall 😅

[@marietamura4534]

I was just going to suggest the same thing and it's economical.

[@HomeFrugalicious]

Great advice 👍

[@victoriaburns2451]

It looks beautiful!! We should all make an effort to give a new life to old furniture. They have so much character and quite often are such better quality than a lot of shop bought things nowadays 😊

[@erinspriggel]

Please do more furniture flips! I’m dying for more videos like this to learn how to upscale old pieces! You’re amazing!

[@saintperthnorthcloud3850]

Absolutely vintage level at it's peak. Amazing!!!!

[@denisemastrostefano277]

Thank You Kristen for letting us know about A Style is Born. The dresser came out beautiful.

[@tonivanterpool6417]

I love the transformation on this piece! That color is FABULOUS!!! I wasn't too sure about the new pulls, but once they were on.... they're PERFECTION! I once found a sad little dresser at a yard sale for $2!!! The back was almost completely disintegrated and it was listing to one side badly. It had mismatched and missing pulls, and a tired and scratched stain finish. I cut a new back from very thin wood, attached that, removed old pulls, sanded, and painted a color called Angel Pink! I added faux vintage "glass" drawer pulls... and now I LOVE my little $2 dresser!!!

[@PB-fs3bh]

Changing the middle drawers to single knobs was an excellent choice!

[@KristenMcGowan]

Yes it had to happen!💁🏼‍♀️👏🏼

[@mariarobes4187]

I thrifted pieces for a bedroom, and loved transforming it to what I wanted.

[@chattykathie7129]

I think that dresser would looked great as raw wood, just a full sand. I use to paint everything, but now I’m loving the character that raw wood gives.

[@nathaliamccullagh1927]

Beautiful. I'm all about blue, but you have shown so much sage on your channel, that I'm starting to like it and noticing it when I'm shopping

[@gloriastage1635]

Can’t say enough about how beautiful the dresser looks. I absolutely love it!

[@patriciareeps3389]

Great job Kristen. Twenty years ago my husband and I downsized. Our master bedroom suite was way too big to use in our much smaller bedroom. We scouted thrift stores and estate sales and found a dresser headboard night stands and small armoire. They were all the same style but different finishes. We did what you did. Primed and painted all pieces and put brushed brass hardware on them. We still have them and they still look great. Total cost was $250 including paint and hardware

[@pamb2868]

That looks much better. I can never find any nice furniture at thrift stores. I love the shape of the dresser. And the paint did make it more noticeable.

[@mukthatumkur3324]

This is an incredible thrifted transformation! You've inspired me to look out for night tables and dressers too to fill in my home by shopping at thrift stores. I'd love to see more videos like this on your channel!

[@Salsabela1]

Hey Kirsten! Can you do a video on how to organize and design your house plants around the house? Especially for small spaces? and what types of planters would look good in a modern- mid century look room?

[@richarddonahue3565]

Love the hardware you used as well as the combination of knobs and handles.

[@j-ru5527]

I love learning from you. Getting to hear you explain and watch you do things is so helpful. I want to learn to be a little female carpenter so I love what explain.

[@jos-1994]

Great job. A little tlc and you grabbed a steal turning it to a masterpiece. Love the color and the knobs in that metal color work perfectly.

[@marymendez4178]

Elegance; is the word for this dresser, good job!

[@deniseraley4204]

This video has definetly made me rethink how to redo a furniture piece. Thank you so much.

[@becciba5515]

Yay!! Been watching loads of your Videos today so this is the perfect end to my day!! 😍

[@KristenMcGowan]

Aw thank you for watching!!

[@gmercymw]

I feel like you're my long lost sister from another continent. Your work is super nice & I can't get enough of your videos. Keep it up Kristen 😊

[@denisseseguinot8173]

Beautiful, excellent job!

[@mariamangion21]

I really love the way you edit your videos & thumbnails 🤍 Thank you for sharing your adventures, blissful moments and your kind heart and happiness to the world. We all deserve a friend like Kristen! Literally sunshine on a cloudy day 🥺💕

[@KristenMcGowan]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching every week Maria!!💗

[@helenaandrews2567]

I agree 👍 she's awesome in every way! God blessed her with many talents 🙏

[@stephanyochoa1721]

Um… yes, you have completely inspired me to flip an old piece of furniture that was given to me. I was even considering donating it because it didn’t fit my style BUT NOW… I think I have found myself a new weekend project 😁 thank you so much for all the tips and tricks!!! Love your content!!

[@anitabarker3125]

What a great deal on the dresser. You did a wonderful paint job.

[@DKGNY_]

I love flipped furniture! I hope to paint my china cabinet soon!

[@KristenMcGowan]

That sounds lovely!

[@akeishaharris]

Now that's beautiful. Time to do some thrift shopping..

[@kirky9347]

Definitely good decision about those middle knobs!

[@lilymorales5922]

Love it! Looks gorgeous; can’t believe you got it for $19.99😱wow!!

[@nevitawilder6184]

I love your work I’m impressed

[@dianejohnson7235]

I just loves the lines on your new thrifted dresser and that beautiful color! Love it!!!!!

[@kseniagoksel]

Amazing color. Love it ❤❤❤

[@doddnejadfard3251]

Beautiful dresser,,,,love to color,,,,the style is so lovely

[@jovlahovich965]

Such a beautiful dresser. I feel like restoring it to it's original self would have done it justice

[@GamerGal30]

The dresser turned out great!

[@noracardona2527]

Beautiful transformation! I have two dressers that I already own that I want to paint. Thank you for the color and knob ideas!

[@wendyhammond2957]

Oh wow so pretty!! Love the color choice and the choice in the knobs ..very pretty!!!😊🤗💕💗💖💗💕💖💕

[@terrioakley2250]

The dresser looks fantastic Kristen👏🏻👏🏻

[@eileenmoss798]

It’s beautiful! I love Sage Green!

[@spoilboinico]

I do Furniture repairs for a living, and I can highly appreciate the transformation you made, with the easy steps you took with this cabinet. Awesome job.

[@helenaandrews2567]

Should I use a glaze after I paint my kitchen cabinets so it doesn't chip if I need to clean it

[@spoilboinico]

@@helenaandrews2567 once it is not a glaze that is going to change the color of the paint, so please read up on what ever glaze you are going to use, because sometimes the glaze do not compliment or work with the paint, but if you know you're going to be careful, I don't see the need to use a glaze.

[@hayleygreaves3638]

Wow!!! And thank you for such a simple step by step video!

[@13SM]

dresser looks go good with the sage paint

[@grammybear4226]

I LOVE how you transformed that dresser! 😍 It’s inspiring me to do the same to a second hand dresser I just bought for my nursery.

[@ilensantamarina9715]

Great transformation !♡🤍♡

[@chrislaing6530]

Wow. What a great find. And you were right about the knobs. It looks perfect! You make everything look so easy. Well done Kristen!

[@Rcq89]

Love how this turned out!!! 💕

[@claudiamagic5067]

Loved it, loved it, loved it!!! I can't wait to try to do it mayself.

[@kelleybishop6275]

A natural wood top would look amazing with the sage color and your floor color!

[@barbaracallwood9220]

[@KristenMcGowan]

I was thinking the same thing!!! It would be perfect!

[@GlynisMarthinussen.]

Kristen you are such a genius 👏 what a steal for that dresser. So freaken talented. Absolutely love ❤️ that colour and end product

[@aztina25]

Love it 😍 I recently bought a new house and my extra room only has a bed, no frame lol. I'm going to check out my thrift store to make a project like this. I don't feel like spending a lot of money for a room that will only be used every other month. Thank you, Kristen!

[@elizab5001]

It turned out beautiful!

[@isabelmagdaleno5226]

LOOOOVE IT!! Thank you for posting!

[@cecilianagy3562]

Such wholesome content.

[@user-h3s7v]

This was a fantastic find! And how funny is it that they marked it down after you came and looked at it! lol It turned out gorgeous. I have a dresser, that I was given, that's solid wood and has that old topper with the mirror and shelves that sits on top. It's a huge piece but I can't wait to tackle it! It's going to be a pretty big project, which can be intimidating, but you have inspired me to get going on it! Hope you are well! ~Kelly

[@joannekettle1526]
