How to Repurpose a Vintage Vanity into Nightstands Dark & Moody Decor

[@aliceedinburgh9203]

One of the reasons I love your channel is your respect for older pieces. This was wrecked and it was clearly mass produced but you still restored the parts of the veneer that were in good shape instead of just slapping paint all over the whole thing. Love your color choices. If these had been available in my area I would have bought them on the spot--great job.

[@salvagedbykscott]

I appreciate that!

[@kathyl5610]

Me too!

[@shellydehart8217]

You said my thoughts exactly. Well said. ♥️😊👍🌟

[@PaintingandExercise]

What a fantastic transformation. You took a piece of furniture that was in horrid condition and turned it into 2 beautiful nightstands!

[@ccainion100]

Wow so beautiful!

[@rose5566]

You are so clever! Love it. I wish I could do that.

[@nancyanneberg403]

You know what I constantly come away with from my travels and the diy- ers ,especially yourself? The total niceness and decency of the Canadian. And on top of it you did a fabulous redo of this piece. Thank you for being you. And being good and good at what you do.

[@pamelagriffitt2514]

I've watched a LOT of furniture makeovers, but this, THIS, is the best ever! I would love to have these in my bedroom. Wow! Just WOW!

[@rose5566]

This is one of the nicest transformations that. Have seen. Great work and nice taste. So inspiring and skilful!

[@deborahmatatall]

These are exquisite, Katey! You’ve retained their beautiful 1930s design and made them modern at the same time. I love that dark chocolate color with the wood tone. I think these are in my Top 5 of Salvaged by K Scott rehabilitations.🌸

[@salvagedbykscott]

Oh wow! Thank you so much my friend 🥰

[@carolwilliams5390]

I love that when you find a problem, you don't pretend you don't see it. You fix it no matter how much effort it takes. Love to watch your videos.

[@kaihandren9309]

Dear K ... Your beauty shots @ the end are great ! Man , that was a lot of work & I'm sure half of the grunt work wasn't shown ... Lucky person who buys this set ... Slide a piece of paper into the drawer w/ the KZbin link up & they'll be astounded @their famous purchase !

[@lionheart830]

I usually don't like taking vanities apart but this was an exception! This one was on it's way to the bin and I can't believe the price. $50 was high in my neighborhood. The finished nightstands were amazing! I imagine they will bring in a good price.

[@rhiannonsheart7632]

I would love to surprise my 25yr old son and completely redecorate his bed room and those would fit right in with what I have stuck in my head. The night stands give off the busy gentleman, but not too busy to have good taste in furniture lol

[@edithrohrer7329]

I have my Grandmother’s vanity. I love it but know the only way it will ever be used is to turn it into night stands. I’m hoping one day, after watching more videos, I’ll get brave enough to do it.

[@lisajackson4784]

I love when you do antiques! It gives them such a new life and they live on! Love these!

[@salvagedbykscott]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@angelanieuwenhuis6344]

They are beautiful. I had a vanity like this, I worked on it off and on for 2 years. I finally just gave up. Wish I saw this video back then.

[@leighallen1018]

Fabulous transformation Katie. It always surprises me how many of these vanity dressers show up in the Restores. Your project turned out beautifully.

[@hlynn2008]

Oh. My. Gosh! What a transformation! They are gorgeous! Well done! One of the most satisfying parts was watching that tarnish just wipe away and reveal the pretty metallic underneath ☺️

[@daphneho115]

Those handles are to die for ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@michellesutton202]

This turned out stunning. With the color and wood, it really makes the drawers the star. Gorgeous color choice!!!!❤❤

[@SandiMacDougall]

I found nightstands that used to be a vanity at Goodwill for $7.50 each. They were already painted and need to be redone due to scuff marks. And the people before me never filled in the edges where the center was so now I have confidence to do Bondo after watching you and several other flippers create nightstands out of old vanities. Thank you for so much. And I just wanted to say these are a beautiful color that you created.

[@Princessmom9]

I love the nightstands. The chocolate brown is gorgeous.

[@valr852]

Beautiful,I think I would take them and make a top for it , out of glass and make it into a desk.if I lived near buy I would be buying them,real quick haha. Again beautiful job,always,always love seeing your work

[@itsyagirlvicku]

These look absolutely stunning 😍 Also, I've been watching your videos for over two years now, and I'm pretty sure I've commented more than once saying I've wanted to try my hand at refinishing furniture. Well, I finally did! Today I finished my second piece, a three-door, mcm-style cabinet someone had painted a hideous shade of grey. It took FOREVER but I stripped, scraped, and sanded it back to bare wood. It's very far from perfect (burnt through the veneer twice, oops) but it's DONE and I'm so happy 😊So thanks Katie, for the inspiration and the education! I couldn't have done it without your videos.

[@brendabasso6699]

These are absolutely stunning, you are a master Katie! I showed my husband he was beyond impressed, thank you for sharing your gift and your wealth of knowledge!

[@mousiebrown1747]

God bless you! You donated back to the Habitat for Humanity Restore! Altho I’m old & crotchety, you & others inspire me to refinish the items I’ve bought over the years from Habitat and have in my home and repurpose some long top kitchen cabinets into a window bench on fancy metal legs. Love me those Habitat folks!

[@russbear31]

Wow! When I was a kid in the '70s my parents had this same exact vanity table + the whole bedroom set that went with it. They were hand-me-downs from grandma, who probably bought the set in the 1930s. The tall headboard for the bed was gorgeous. I wish I had that stuff today but mom redecorated and threw it all out.

[@teresacathey8189]

Hello Katie. Gurl….these turned out to be beautiful nightstands. Way to go!!👍🌺🥰🤗

[@nancystowell4877]

Katie; I love how these turned out!♥ I am an avid lover of Vanities and wasn't sure about this Repurposing at first. The love that you showed for these was amazing, anyone that knows furniture would appreciate that although you painted part of them, your treatment of the wood fronts and trim is in honor of the beauty of the wood and craftmanship that went into creating them. I've an old Waterfall vanity that You've inspired me to treat the same way. Thank you for sharing and inspiring me to finally tackle that old piece! Please keep sharing your creations with us and stay safe & well!♥

[@maryhenrie1062]

You never disappoint me! I would love to see you turn an old buffet or dresser into an island for the kitchen

[@wrrn411]

Katie.... This project is Gorgeous!!❤️❤️❤️

[@CrownsAndThings]

These night stands turned out beautiful! I was hesitant when I saw the brown paint but it all came together at the end and I love them 😊

[@kathykirkland2691]

This is the best tutorial I have seen for repurposing an Art Deco vanity bedside tables. You did an excellent job of demonstrating it. They are beautiful. I have two Art Deco vanities that I bought two years and was going to restore, but I had some bad health problems, but I think I can do them now. You have really inspired me. Thank you so much for doing this video and demonstrating step by step that was so easy to follow and understand.

[@marilynrobinson6910]

Hi 👋🏾 Katie! I’ve been a subscriber to your channel for several months now and generally just ‘like’ your videos and don’t comment. And I DO LOVE YOUR WORK! However this time I HAD to comment! THIS piece, WOW, what a transformation! I’m always amazed at how people can see a pretty grungy beat up piece of furniture and turn it into a gem….in this case 2 gems!!!!😂 kuddos to you Katie! This is simply amazing! 👏🏾👏🏾

[@tandy1766]

Simply gorgeous 😍 anyone would be proud to have them in their home. Another excellent flip Katie.

[@caroledwards1182]

I love waterfall furniture and natural wood finishes so I was hoping you were going to restore it, not paint it. Given the condition of the piece it I think your choice was the right one. I love that you kept the front of the furniture the beautiful wood look and the chocolate brown for the more damaged sides and back was a great choice. Beautifully done!

[@keepbeesalive7174]

I love these!! What a great change.

[@douglasradowick508]

Miss Scott, Norm Abrams would be delighted to see and inspect your craftsmanship-absolutely stunning!👍😁😇 Doug

[@charlenegoskowicz8220]

Absolutely gorgeous! I love how you brought out the masculine vibe! So hard to believe this project started with a shabby old vanity. I do love an oil finish, and combined with the paint, I can totally see these night stands in a Ralph Lauren Home advert, with old maps hanging above them and a chesterfield-style headboard between them. You knocked it out of the park this time.

[@cravinsomeraven]

Wow!!! This is one of my favorites you’ve done! Fabulous work, and I love the color choices.

[@TriciaBooth]

They look wonderful. You did a superb job of restoring them, while respecting their age and original design.

[@elizabethevanskiikka2184]

Saturdays with Katie are my favvvv❤

[@kebergify]

Katie, you are an artist. What a save! I love how they turned out and to then turn and donate it back to the ReStore is just lovely.

[@jjennings6161]

Those are just stunning! Beautiful job!❤️

[@shannonwall5639]

Wow! You are so talented and patient. Beautiful transformation.

[@zahrabintal-qalam1658]

These two would make a really nice dresser, just sitting next to each other. I want to see the mirror re-done to match!

[@stephanieb2557]

Wow, I can't believe how beautiful those are now!! I love reconstructing/repurposing furniture, and you are great at it! I can't wait to see what you do with the mirror!

[@mariofernandez9026]

One of the nicest furniture restomods I’ve seen. Very classy.

[@janetmoore1124]

The thought that kept returning to my mind was 'if this piece could talk, the stories it would tell'. A beautiful transformation, Katie. Well Done!

[@janettavculek9308]

Well you know what? I really liked what you did with that. My parents had a dresser exactly like this and it brought back such memories. You really gave it a new life.

[@LV12800]

Wow...fantastic restoration...was in total agreement when you decided to do the last walnut stain on the wood. Whoever gets these nightstands will have gotten 2 beautiful pieces and probably at a great price. Love all your videos, they are utterly satisfying. ❤️

[@maggiem4734]

I absolutely love what you did. The two tone was perfect. You have such a great eye for end results. Thank you for sharing. 😊

[@louiseyvette2261]

Phenomenal! I would love those in my bedroom!

[@shellydehart8217]

You did a beautiful job on the vanity. There definitely perfect for bed side tables. Really like the two tone. ♥️😊👍🌟

[@kathykirkland2691]

Thank you for the best tutorial I have watched to repurpose an Art Deco vanity for bedside tables. I plan to repurpose two vanities for my grandson to have for bedside tables soon, and I will definitely refer to this video. Many thanks for your time in doing this video.

[@ilensantamarina9715]

Katie the nightstands look amazing! What transformation.♡✔♡

[@laurasc5367]

That is absolutely beautiful!! My husband inherited his grandfather's dresser of the same design. It's pretty beaten up but now I know what to do with it. Thank you!!! ❤❤❤

[@Vanquish12V]

Beautiful! I can't wait to see the mirror refinish! 🖤

[@katherinesheridan5836]

WOW Katie!! They are just stunning. Looks like that mirror is a find too.

[@paulahaddad5114]

These turned out to be beautiful - suspect better than originally looked. You do such exacting work and make sure you keep the original feeling in mind. Love all your projects! Thanks for sharing your projects with us. Paula

[@anniejones2640]

I see these remade into night stands fairly often but I think the colors you used are by far my favorite so far. Well do e Katie!❤

[@margaretroberts6258]

Wow! What an incredible transformation! You’re a freakin’ Genius!!🌷❤️🇨🇦

[@nancyanneberg403]

Lotta work. Worth it. Glad ReStore is getting the fruits of your labor.wgat happens to the mirror? Success. Good lesson for us watchers who will try bringing back an almost gone piece. Thank you, Canada.

[@salvagedbykscott]

I think I’m going to add a wire to the back of the wire and hang it up in my living room.

[@maryannbower9706]

I'm impressed. You kept the beautiful style of the art deco piece. It's now suitable for a modern home. Good job.

[@janicemcb2325]

A stunning restoration. These should fit in with so many design schemes, be it traditional or modern.

[@kathyl5610]

Wow, Katie, they are beautiful! What a difference, you worked some magic on one piece of furniture that became two. Thanks for sharing.

[@MrHuismeester]

Absolute a Topper !!!! Such a nice make over off what seems to be a piece off almost junk furniture to this really beauty !!!! Love the colors very much and it makes it even more modern then what i was expecting ! A very nice surprise , video was great with nice background music . See you next time !

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Those are so gorgeous! Loved seeing these Fusion products at work and your thought process staining the wood. Really one of a kind. Someone at ReStore is going to get super lucky!

[@salvagedbykscott]

Thank you so much my friend ❤️

[@lyndapalecek8952]

Beautiful transformation! They will not last long on the ReStore floor. The height, finish and shape of these tables will add to several different decors. Great job.

[@gailpark5143]

This is my favorite transformation I've seen you do! I would snatch those up in a heartbeat

[@DumpsterHoppers]

That was amazing!! The stain was perfect! Nice!

[@susanellis8089]

Beautiful refurb! 🤩Does this mean that all my inherited antique wood furniture is back in style?🤔

[@TheDivasoprano]

What a lot of tedious work, but very much worth it in the end product. I am loving your videos and also love that you are Canadian and I can relate to you. Look forward to more miraculous transformations. Pam

[@nlozoya85nl]

Love love love the chocolate brown. They are just perfect!

[@kaitlyno.8908]

These are stunning! I was excited to see what you would do with this piece after you thrifted it, and you did not disappoint! I love seeing this kind of "trash to treasure" makeover. I also love paint/wood combos. You have an impeccable sense of style and I love your work!

[@kimchamberlain1108]

Absolutely stunning transformation 🤎🤎

[@reneepesckovszky5391]

[@galebecker3487]

Hi Katie, beautiful finish. So pleased you kept the round mirror. Im sure it will look fantastic on the wall🙏

[@salvagedbykscott]

I think so too!

[@kathleenbrown6734]

I have or owned this dresser and it is in perfect shape but before I could refinish it as I had it since I was 16, my teenage granddaughter and her dad just showed up and took it home!!! I am sure there is damage now but she is away at college and plans on taking it with her when she graduates. I was hoping you were going to refinish so I could see my dream come true. This is sad for me to see it pieced out. It was so cool in my young years to sit at and make magic!!!! tx for you videos maybe another time.

[@carolharris9609]

Absolutely beautiful transformation, well done 🎉❤❤

[@TheresaHoughten-tb7oe]

Stunning to see all the hard work you put into each piece. Absolutely stunning work.

[@Laura_Brock]

These turned out beautifully! Thanks for using the chocolate brown paint , it’s a nice change from the black furniture trend.
