Reviving Vintage | Restoring a Walnut Dresser to Its Former Glory!

[@tammydugas9527]

Gorgeous! I prefer a wood grain to paint, honestly. This is stunning.

[@lisafrancis7534]

Katie you just leveled up girl ! Impressive restoration..i love it turned out beautiful

[@salvagedbykscott]

Thank so much! I’m really excited to learn and keep adding skills to my tool box.

[@melisablack7920]

❤❤❤❤ Love it! Amazing work!

[@michellecabasal2963]

Stunning 🤩

[@miriamepsteinstiles9623]

You are without a doubt the best teacher and I look forward to watching, learning and being inspired by your work! Last summer I scored an alley find. A Biedermeier style walnut veneer dresser that had many of the same problems so it was reassuring to see that I managed well. It turned out beautifully with a hemp oil finish that enhanced the grain.

[@colleenbushman5092]

I so very much agree!!! She is the best teacher!!!

Can a old 100 plus cedar chest be restored,

[@jacquelinevelez1683]

You did such a great job it looks like a brand new dresser your soooooo talented bless those hands 😍🙏🏽

[@l4real808]

So glad to see restoration vs trendy painting over beautiful wood! ❤❤

[@salvagedbykscott]

Painting is not trendy. It’s a fantastic option to extend the life of pieces that have passed their prime.

[@l4real808]

@salvagedbykscott I realize that. I'm commenting on how most folks just paint a piece vs. taking time to restore to original. It all comes down to personal decor preferences, of course. You do Excellent work!

[@katherineharper-sj4ys]

Katie, I am so glad you didn’t paint any of that gorgeous walnut and that you added back veneer. This piece is a beauty. You go girl!!

[@whynotbekind1957]

thanks for restoring it and not just slathering paint on it…nice pieces deserve to be preserved when possible. its beautiful

[@lauris5708]

Gorgeous! I love that you let the natural grain shine through and went with a very natural finish. Anyone would be lucky to have this refurbished piece in their home.

[@michelelee5339]

A very meticulous restoration of a lovely, gentle years piece of furniture. The restoration kit is a smart score for your workshop. 🌟 thank you for sharing 🌟💓

[@SimonLovesWood]

Great work

[@janedrolet2807]

You can be very proud of this one ! What a fabulous repair and refinish, it is absolutely beautiful. If the original designers could see the life you breathe back into some of those old pieces, they would be thrilled.

[@johannechampagne7332]

I have my parents’ old bedroom set purchased in 1950 and the man’s dresser has that coin holder in the top drawer. It’s a lovely period detail.

[@bfranklin1052]

Love the 'old gentleman' persona. This one is a great save. Love your channel, Katie!

[@jointhecorner]

Hi Katie, I've been watching your videos for a couple of years now. I don't do any furniture projects but your videos are lovely to watch, you've got it so right and the furniture transformations are wonderful. Great job!

[@serasmiles2]

I am so impressed with how you made this little guy come together. I remember a long time ago you prefaced your Post by saying you are a furniture 'painter', not the furniture restorer. But you are clearly the furniture restorer... AND DONT LET ANYONE TELL YOU NO. Good job!!

[@toniwilsey2763]

The beautiful wood grain really pops. You did a wonderful job, Katie!

[@Thatsinteresting363]

This is a $2500 piece! Simply gorgeous!

[@L.Spencer]

I would have thought that these veneer pieces wouldn't be worth restoring, but you're showing me they are worth it. Beautiful!

[@MelDidItHerself]

Nothing like a new Katie Scott video to get me motivated to get off my butt and into the workshop! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@Schmoityface]

Beautiful wood grain! The combination of the original hardware and the woodgrain, I just love it. This is probably my favourite restoration.

[@briemills9209]

Awesome job, Katie! I'm glad you didn't paint this one. The sheer amount of detail you put into this is mind blowing.

[@kitfranzman4860]

This was a tricky piece, yet you brought it back to brand new. Impressive!

[@mararundell2500]

One of your finest restorations. I've never been a much of a MCM fan but after watching some of your videos I'm appreciating the style more and more.

[@dianaarney6667]

Wow! I love how patient you are with each piece. That turned out beautiful.

[@judyshallstrom415]

Amazing. Your attention to every tiny detail is impressuve and certainly pays off!

[@amyhyams5846]

One word, gorgeous. Well done, Katie! Really interesting how it all came together. Thank you.

[@bettenotap4791]

Wow! ❤ You should have a running clock to see how many hours you spend to get this result. I love the clean deco lines of this one, it’s lovely. Well done!

[@dshey6802]

That was some beautiful veneer. You did it justice for sure. All your instincts were correct.

[@barbaralamoreaux328]

Great work, Katie! So glad to see that you rejuvenated this piece. One less walnut tree wasted!

[@suecox2308]

I agree this seems like a mid-40s piece and you've done it proud--absolutely gorgeous now!

[@careerdeva]

Katie, what beautiful work. You put your heart and soul into each re-do that I watch!

[@susanrichardson4025]

Looks fantastic! Those products are a bit intimidating, but the veneer repairs look much simpler than I would have imagined. Once again, an amazing, informative video. I love watching your videos!!!

[@wilmaburns5280]

Always so interesting to see and hear you working on these pieces. Great background music - very calming. Funky knobs - too bad the original finish was poor but they look terrific now. A good save.
