Making Over A FREE Dresser & How to Fix Lifting Veneer

This huge mid century modern dresser popped up in my Facebook Marketplace feed as FREE a few streets over, so you know how fast I hopped into the van! It’s got a thick coat of chalk paint on it already and it’s missing the original hardware but I love the curvy drawers and I think I can give it a high end makeover in a trending colour way. I'll also show you a neat little trick to fix lifting veneer!

[@chandarussell]

I’m not a burnt sienna fan normally but the matte finish makes a difference. I I really love the hardware. It suits this piece perfectly. Well done.

You are an excellent designer

[@honeykat1]

It's another beautiful one! It's not what I thought would be my favourite colour, but once the piece is finished, I realize that I would LOVE to have it for myself! As usual.... Thank you for sharing!

[@annlatham]

Gorgeous piece! I love free furniture! It is you who helps me bring them back to life ! Thank you 😘

[@melania.f.m]

It looks fantastic, the color is chosen perfectly, you have elevated this to perfection

[@lesleywatkins1172]

[@pamboone6921]

Wow, I was really surprised that I loved this paint color!! So not me, but shew I love it! Like always Katie, JOB WELL DONE ❤️

[@pumibel1720]

LOVE that color. I have a wall and a bookshelf in terracotta. It goes in more color schemes than you would think! Beautiful piece- I would buy it if I lived nearby.

[@itsemilyschwan]

This honestly might be my fave piece you have EVER DONE!!!!😍😍😍

Beautiful colour. The hardware is giving to the piece a very special look. Great result. So warm. Love it. Congratulations.

[@jaydenmarkel]

I literally was just like “ I want to watch another K. Scott video”... and then you literally posted a video! 😂😂😂

[@louanneross6410]

Gorgeous Katie. The color just sings on this piece and the pulls are perfect. Subscribed to your channel a few months ago and I just love what you do.

[@sarahpreston3047]

It is gorgeous, another piece saved, someone is going to be very lucky owning this piece, take care 👍xx

[@dorothyyoung8231]

It’s a statement piece now. The hardware is like jewelry for the piece! Question - would you ever put a little wax on drawer runners to help them glide smoothly on older pieces?

[@salvagedbykscott]

Yes, I do that on most pieces that have wood on wood drawers 😉

[@onnaharrison9882]

Gorgeous!! Keep listening when color and furniture pieces speak to you. I love this. Another K.Scott inspiration😊💕.

[@rebeccachristie6872]

Gorgeous!!! I love the colour and the hardware choice elevates the piece beautifully. Another great video…thanks as always from British Columbia. 🌼

[@JamiRayVintage]

Perfect as per usual. Love you Katie girl.

[@salvagedbykscott]

Thank you boo 😘

[@MileHighBeauty]

My thoughts EXACTLY! Katie is one of the few YT creators that I click to watch immediately. Every single time! And never disappoints. Absolutely stunning work... as usual 😍

[@catcar8212]

I'm still not sure I'm a wax girl, but this color just cooled down with that wax finish. The chunky legs & hardware give it that something something! I really like it Katie.🌷

[@lollylolly8186]

@@catcar8212 OMG! Have you tried Debi’s Design Diary DIY wax? It’s scrumptious and you can add a little bit of her paint to mix to get your own coloured wax. It’s also so tactile, soft and smooth. I always top coat high traffic surfaces then add a couple of wax layers for the look and feel. Plus all natural and makes your hands so soft.😁 And it cures to an almost immovable finish.

[@JuliP566]

Exactly what I was going to say!!

[@dominiquedangelo3287]

Living for this color! I think the hardware you picked was perfection for this piece

[@PankDotOwner]

I would never have picked that color but it turned out gorgeous ! I need that color in my house now! Great job

[@anniejones2640]

Oooohhhh... I'm so glad you picked that color!!! I ordered and just received that exact color for myself. I can't wait to use it.

[@GODSPEAKS898]

Katie, I am absolutely loving the color choice as well as the the drawer pulls. This is a beautiful piece. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️!!!

[@pamelaallen6543]

It turned out so beautiful Ms.Katie. I'm thinking of doing this for my china cabinet to pair with my teal/green wall.

[@Beruthiel45]

Great choices, well matched colour and metal, very successful makeover! 😊 I'm not into autumn colours, lived through the 70s and had all the rusts, oranges, browns and beiges, plus olive green, and shag carpet, but you made this modern and attractive. 👍 Thumbs up! 😊

[@sandragraham4825]

It doesn’t matter to me what’s trendy “this year”. I absolutely love the colour. The pairing of any neutral colours is endless.

[@susanpfaffl162]

I love the hardware!!!! The color and the lines are perfect with the lines of the piece!!! Great job as airways

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

I love ow this turned out. And the hardware is perfect!

[@smariacmartins]

Really amazing! Loved the colour and the hardware! Kiss from a Portuguese follower😘

[@morandamiller5444]

Love the hardware! I think the hardware would have overwhelmed a smaller piece, but perfect on this dresser.

[@MBGRAYDESIGNS]

Absolutely gorgeous and perfect hardware choice!!!

[@Indigobasil]

I love the color and the hardware is perfect and original. It’s so nice to see such saturated color. It’s definitely worth the price you set. Thank you for your hard work and inspiring creations.

[@pamalapeterson5352]

Love love 💕 the hardware…perfect finishing touch!…..May God bless y’all abundantly

[@selenap7339]

This turned out absolutely beautiful. Brava 👏👏. Great color choice.

[@angelanieuwenhuis6344]

That really is a comforting colour. I love the hardware as well ❤🇨🇦

[@iceangel1701d]

Lovely! Really think the hardware is perfect but I would have painted the wooden part of the legs...but that's just me.

[@staceymiles2501]

Absolutely beautiful I love the colors and I love the knobs you did amazing job

[@jcarnahan4189]

Thank you for explaining the products and why you use them on different pieces. I loved the outside-the-box design of the MCM small album cabinet too.

[@lisaarcemont]

You're extremely creative and daring...Love, LoVe, LOVE this color! Thanks for showing us how to think out of the box and it can be done.

[@laurieromani4178]

Thank goodness you posted today! I was going through Katie withdrawal. Lol. I’ve been researching processes and you are, by far, the best. I love all of your pieces. Thank you for sharing your talent!

[@salvagedbykscott]

Well thank you 😘

[@susancbaxter8575]

Fabulous job. Only comment would be that I would have centered the hardware vertically.

[@julimccsbe-hastings8646]

I have admired every piece of furniture you have repurposed. But this...I am IN LOVE with this piece. You are an artist, no doubt. Beautiful. I need this in my life.

[@willsoe1]

It's gorgeous! I love the color! I think the color of the hardware is a great match, but I don't think I would have gone with the “dangliness” (is that even a word?) of them with this particular design. But... I'm Danish - we like it a little more plain. Love the curves on the dresser, though ❤️

[@peaceanhairgrease]

I always feel so inspired! Like I can really do this when in actuality the finished product would look like a two year old painted it 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@FrancesBedoya89]

Absolutely love that!! Love the hardware, love the color, love that you kept the legs and that they match the hardware!! So nice.

[@mirnavaldes1]

Another fabulous makeover Katie. I didn’t think I’d like that color on such a big piece but boy was I wrong. You teach me something new every time. 🙌

[@marcellamance1812]

Wow! Beautiful piece with a dramatic before and after. Lovely job!

[@rosemariepereira6527]

I absolutely love your videos Katie - I'm a wannabe 😊 furniture finisher flipper in the Maritimes - I find you very inspiring and your videos are encouraging to me - please keep up the great job.

[@annasimonson8363]

That is beyond beautiful. Great choice on the pulls. I hope you got top dollar for that. Thank you for being you.
