Hello, Furniture Friends! Katie here from SALVAGED by k. scott. Summer has finally arrived on the East Coast of Canada, and I’m taking a break from new projects to revisit some of my most colourful furniture makeovers. Join me as I flip a furniture rainbow, showcasing vibrant transformations in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and pink.

Omg!! The dark stain and mustard paint is stunning! I did not think I was going to like that piece and I ended up absolutely loving it!

[@barbaralamoreaux328]

I could totally see the flower table in a playroom or better yet, in a solarium, surrounded by plants and soft white furniture, with a tea set on top.❤

[@salvagedbykscott]

That would be cool!

[@emilyc9500]

THE THINGS YOU MAKE ARE INCREDIBLE. Such immaculate taste. I'm Nova Scotian but this makes me East Coast proud. :)

[@rapunzeleh546]

the red one with the sliding doors is a perfect spot for Mint decoupage

[@reneedoddrell2158]

Love green at the moment so the green one is my favourite. I'm looking forward to flipping furniture again once im out of the newborn stage.

[@jessicamichalski6253]

They were all beautiful, but my favorite is the yellow dresser!

[@user-wd6wg1vx6c]

I'm usually not into green but that one is lovely! All are beautiful but that one is stunning!

[@malousfarhadi2430]

My favourite restoration is the dining table, I love it ❤

[@ShelleyScales]

They are all stunning - the orange piece really caught my eye. ❤

[@catherinethorington3452]

Katy, I am always delighted by your style, creativity, and skill♡

[@lgrondin5890]

I loved the rainbow video because I picked up something from each piece, but if I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be the red!

[@KSprague2024]

Those are amazing flips!!! All but the yellow were my favorites!! I don't think i could pull off the yellow in my home, but it's perfect for the piece. Truly gorgeous, Katie ❤

[@teresacathey8189]

Hello Katie. I love them all, but maybe the red and orange. Overall, they are all fabulous!!🥰🥰🥰

[@kimberlyciani570]

That was fun!!! I loved the purple and I loved the green. All of them were amazing transformations.

[@JeannetteGiles]

I absolutely love the Pressed Fern!! Stunning!!

[@catherinecarreiro3955]

Loved the colorful walk through memory lane ❤

[@susan3037]

I have to say this was an enjoyable video to watch. I loved every piece, but my favorite was the cottage type pink table that looked like a cloud. That color pink was the perfect vibe! My second fave was the green chest. Oh my, that shade of green is spectacular with the details in that piece!

[@reneejones2183]

I really like the mustard yellow, red, orange, green and blue.

[@brendaprice4664]

LOVE all of these pieces! I love how intuitive you are with each piece, you know what each piece should really look like! The Pink and Purple were my faves! THANK YOU for rescuing these pieces from the landfill! B~}

[@brigit64]

These are all wonderful Katie! So inspiring to watch you too

[@diannnoeora]

My favorite was the last table! I love it!

[@user-oz9oy1vb8k]

Just Beautiful! All of them are gorgeous!

[@deborahmulliss6554]

Thank Katie, loved the purple dresser ❤

[@user-qr2rk4jx7b]

The flower table is my favourite, all are beautiful as usual!

[@salvagedbykscott]

Mine too!

[@amothinisengard6505]

Colorful pieces are so beautiful! Love this compilation ❤

[@tinarider9963]

These are ABSOLUTELY amazing!!! So enjoy watching😊

[@Laurel-h6c]

These are so adorable. I love all the colors. I think my favorite one was the deep green.

[@salvagedbykscott]

Good choice!

[@jodirauth8847]

I l8ve the pastel pink table. So so cute.

[@karlasommer5341]

I think you are a visual genius. I love every single one of these and I’m not easy to please. Masterful! 🤩

[@helenk5579]

Hi Katie! I loved the Red and Pink the best!!! Great work!!

[@user-wh5co5go9j]

My favourite ones were the green blue purple great job

[@darlenelech]

LOVE the yellow dresser, wasn’t sure when you decided to change the top drawers….but remembered Katie knows her stuff! Chef kiss! 💋

[@salvagedbykscott]

Oh thank you!

[@terrytt2932]

what a FUN video. A great way to re-visit some fabulous makeovers!

[@marilynmccormick3731]

Wonderful.

[@lindamattioli7943]

Love the purple and stain piece

[@valeriehowden471]

I have to go with the red one. It's my favorite colour on my favorite style of furniture. I know pick up laminate furniture to remake because of you. Finishing up a red dresser with white drawers this weekend.

[@g.m.c4370]

Vous me surprenez toujours avec vos videos, tous aussi beaux les uns que les autres. Beau travail. Bon été.

[@sueayers7065]

These are all great, but my favorite color is green, so the cabinet you painted that color is my fav!!

[@salvagedbykscott]

Good choice!

[@cherylwine6003]

That was a fun video to watch. You really did amazing things with the formica-covered furniture pieces! I think the green with the gold handles may be my favorite, but it was also cool to see how you transformed the little shelf into an orange bar!

[@maureenlarkin3495]

They are all beautiful! I have a hard time picking a favorite! You've done justice to each one. You really have some furniture reparing skills. I'm so jealous, however, I'm learning so much from you.

[@daddraws4714]

Katie your still my favourite!

[@leahdavis6913]

Delightful! Have a good summer!

[@jillb7234]

You do the most amazing work! They are all stunning!❤❤

[@susankilby5040]

All are amazing! I’m not a huge fan of orange but I loved that piece !

[@atown40]

The whole video was awesome. I’m inspired.

[@atomicwendy]

the eggplant dresser!!!!!!! I want it!

[@elainel4348]

Lovely colors. I like all the projects.

[@LilyBecca]

I love the red!! I have an antique mahogany loveseat in my study. It was reapholstered before I bought it with a wine colored fabric. I would love to re-do it in a floral with some red and then I could add some accent furniture like that red shelf. It would look so good.

[@leighlaird6539]

I loved them ALL!

[@FridayFrida]

Loved the rainbow!

[@guineapigladyofcanada8598]

even though i don't like pink the pink table is my favorite purely because of how satisfying that paint stripping was

[@raquelcardenas2809]

The yellow piece is, BY FAR, my favorite!

[@veronicacanadas5537]

Although my favorite color is purple, my favorite piece of furniture is the green one, it is so beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing your talent with us💜

[@shirleysollenberger9268]

Love love the color items. You did a fantastic job

[@rebeccacrone8864]

Loved the green.

[@amyg.8592]

Your work is always beautiful. I loved the green one--so stunning.

[@salvagedbykscott]

Thank you so much!

[@kristinal-ghoul2680]

The pale pink you used in that last flip is about the same as the shade I used to paint my bedroom--called barely pink. It's very subtle and pleasing to match to other pastels which makes for a restful bedroom ambiance.

[@sweetmimisestscha]

Beautiful job!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@cynthiathurston7656]

What an interesting video! I thoroughly enjoyed your rehashing the projects. Thanks for sharing your talents.

[@salvagedbykscott]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kimowen339]

You are very talented! I have just come across your videos and am learning so much. Really want to try this. I like how you go into detail for us beginners.

[@irenekoumides9038]

Really enjoyed this video! All the pieces are stunning - Katie, you are very talented and have such a good eye for detail! ❤

[@salvagedbykscott]

Thank you so much!

[@irenemuus9716]

Katie, I love your videos because you do the job right. You are very thorough and have all the right equipment. I was in my 20s in the 1970s going through my "contemporary" phase until I went to Princeton New Jersey and saw REAL colonial. I loved the quality and elegant designs. After that, I grew disgusted with how cheap 1970s furniture was. You do a fantastic job making this old 70s junk look GREAT. I never have liked contemporary since my 20s and love English furnishings. The older I get, the more I appreciate the British. The world owes them huge thanks for the enormous contributions they made to the world, especially with beautiful homes and furnishings, AND good manners.

[@judykane7682]

Beautiful work!

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Yooooooooo Katie!!! Gun, to my head & 3 secs. to pick a favorite I'd be one dead MoFo!!! I literally wouldn't be able to decide on a favorite. They're all so cool. Hoping all is well my friend, Dirty Jersey out!!

[@aliferefurbished]

Love them all Katie! I’m definitely inspired to try a colorful makeover.

[@salvagedbykscott]

Please do! I love watching you work on furniture🌈

[@theresaburg5881]

Love the recap. I swore I saw this last week, but didn't see it in the video list and thought I was going nuts until I read the description..

[@salvagedbykscott]

it’s been a week 😅 thanks for coming back to watch ❤️❤️❤️

[@nikki41308]

I love how brave you are with color. You have taught me that, not only can covering up wood grain with paint be a wise and necessary decision sometimes, it can be beautiful. And I love how you leave bits of wood grain still exposed when you can, like in drawer fronts. I used to be one of those people that got mad anytime I saw painted wood but u and Angie at Transcend have made me a convert! 😂 And you have inspired me to try some of this stuff on my own antiques (a pie safe and vanity) that I dearly love the shapes of but hate the yellowish orange finish on. I just bought an old beat up nightstand in marketplace to practice. I am so excited. Thank you!

[@wendybond2848]

I love the depth you got in the green one by using a few thin coats. All of these are amazing.

[@TheBlondeSunset]

Bravo!

[@glendalab7567]

I almost skipped this one because I thought I have watched all of your videos. Turns out I was wrong! I hadn't seen the green dresser. Now I need to go back and find any others that may have passed me by.

[@rasheedawilliams4395]

I think this one was posted before recently.

[@denisepadgett8430]

The green dresser with those gorgeous gold legs!!!

[@cynthiashaw45]

I love Painted furniture is properly done and appears to be solid and smooth and protective of the surface. It shouldn’t be porous and rough like unfinished chalk paint. I am not impressed with poorly painted and protected and classified as “ distressed”.

[@jenniferschweikert7464]

Don’t know how I missed that “yellow” dresser but love that renovation (as well as the others). Give me color! 😊

[@kathrynkneeland7179]

Im not much of a pink fan, but that pink and natural table was so lovely. It was hard to pick really!! You are brilliant and inspiring.

[@SusieMonk-jh8tj]

They all look gorgeous. Yellow one was my favourite colour but If they were all in a shop forme to choose….Icouldn’t

[@deannaaustin5362]

Love your work. Great job.

[@salvagedbykscott]

Thank you so much 😀

[@LosAngelesLaura]

The pink table 😊 🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀

[@phyllisgiaconia5852]

The b lue was my favorite

[@desireec.1395]

Im new to furniture refinishing and happen to stumble across your videos! You put a lot of care and thought into each piece the quality shows. I have several antique pieces in my house that I know what to do with thanks to you Katie!

[@salvagedbykscott]

Thanks and welcome

[@ashleyswan3871]

LOVE the red, orange and blue ones!!

[@my88sweetdreams]

Totally agree you are a 🎉Beautiful Colorful blessings to the Painted Furniture Family…

[@salvagedbykscott]

Thank you! 🤗

[@stephenbriskin9]

This was a fantastic video. Ps I also hate speed bumps 😂

[@salvagedbykscott]

Such a weird design choice 🤪😂

[@annouellette2438]

That was fun. ❤ them all.

[@kathyandthedogs626]

Fun video. The pinkish table is my favorite I love it!

[@salvagedbykscott]

Mine too!

[@auntiedough2488]

I swear my parents had that bookcase in the bedroom hall.

[@lauram3247]

This was sooo fun! I love your work.

[@EvaSoroka]

Мне все понравились 💗

[@juliewhittington1991]

Purple (eggplant) piece was my favorite!

[@andreazaujecova2129]

I lige them all, but the table turned out stunning.

[@catherinemelnyk]

Katie, do you have a book on this stuff you could recommend? I can't keep track of ALL the different types of woods (and non-woods) used in and on furniture, and all the various treatments and products used on them. I'm overwhelmed even before I've begun! How do you even identify what material has been used on an older piece of furniture? A book with close-up photos of various woods, laminates, plastics and corresponding info about chemical treatments would be an IMMENSE HELP. Thanks...❤❤❤

[@salvagedbykscott]

You can’t learn it in a book. It’s the sort of thing where are there are an unlimited amount of variables so you just have to make your best guess through each step. As far as products or procedures, I use the same things over and over again. Clean, make repairs, sand, prime, paint, seal. My best advise is to stop overthinking things and start painting ❤️

[@catherinemelnyk]

@salvagedbykscott thanks. I'm a perfectionist, and I'm easily overwhelmed by all of this. Yeah, just do it! I can always sand it down or strip it again if it looks awful!

[@salvagedbykscott]

I definitely understand the desire to get it perfect in the first try but it just doesn’t work like that with this stuff. I often have to remind myself “it’s just paint!” 🤪

[@sqveezie]

I loved this video!! I want to start getting into furniture flipping, but I had a couple questions. How do you know whether to use bondo or wood filler for a project? Like, what's the difference? Also, when should you use a paint stripper vs just sanding paint off of something? I must know!!

[@birgittejohannesen8452]

Love it 🥰 Can you put the paint back in the can if you loaded too much in the airsprayer or is it wasted? 🙄🤗

[@salvagedbykscott]

Absolutely! Never waste paint!!!

[@wendybond2848]

Katie, I notice sometimes you use Bondo. Can the epoxy wood filler you used here be used instead of Bondo? I don’t think we can get Bondo in Australia.

[@salvagedbykscott]

Yes, it’s the same thing. 2 part epoxy filler 😉

[@user-vt7tn3ww2r]

Hi Katie, I just bought the Harbor Freight HVLP sprayer and it says that you can’t leave it longer than 5 mins before it starts to clog (between coats), I would love to know what you have found because I cannot imagine you having to put on a cup of water and spraying that through to clean it between coats but is that what you do?? You use the spray gun a lot, so I figure you know all the tricks. Could you do a vid about this?

[@salvagedbykscott]

I think if you’re using it with automotive enamels or lacquers then you’d need to be cautious about cleaning it in between coats but with the water based products that I use, I’ve left it loaded for DAYS and it still sprays fine.

[@user-vt7tn3ww2r]

@@salvagedbykscottthank you!

[@fs7694]

New to all this. I keep hearing bondo. Is that the exact same thing that they use on cars, or is there a special one for wood?

[@salvagedbykscott]

It is the same stuff used on cars or it also comes in an “all purpose” or “wood filler” version.

[@user-qe9eu4eh7e]

How long did it take for these to sell?

[@cathyluff4129]

Am I psychic or is something else going on? I swear I started watching this video a week ago but when I went back to finish it I couldn’t find it and it wasn’t in my history. If it’s me, let me know and I’ll tell you what next week’s video will be. LOL.

[@melymantsenda9470]

Thought it was going to be a bright red :(

[@melymantsenda9470]

All of them are not bright and not really the true Colors

[@hanaaa6394]

Katie I like to watch you but your music is terrible. You do a lot of voiceover so I can not turn the sound off.

[@salvagedbykscott]

I like the music I use in my videos. That’s why I use it 😉❤️
