Not only are you an artist, but also outstanding teacher. I always learn something new when watching your videos.

[@natalieelisabeth5767]

I second that!

[@jennifermc1221]

I'm not normally a fan of black furniture. But this piece is absolutely beautiful!

[@vladeckk21]

Ditto (in my case) gold handles. But it turned out stunning.

[@sunshinesuzi5324]

Same here, restorers always want to paint everything Black, 🙄😬

[@elenabaer7712]

Now I’m ready to tackle the doggie damage on my kitchen cabinets!!

[@lscalmanini]

Our pup ate off the corners of our dressers. This tip will definitely come in handy.

[@carolsopinski4549]

Me to!!!!!😊

[@barbaracorbell4232]

MY GOSH, YOUR REPAIRS ARE AWESOME!!!

[@ArtfulLivingNHVT]

I’m a furniture artist and personally spend my time putting about four colours on a piece - but I am always absolutely gripped by your videos and you make black look SO GOOD!!! I love what you do and the way you do it. I wish we could claim you as a UnitedStatesian, but of course you’re a Canadian level of kind, decent, and wonderful. Thanks so much for all the inspiration!

[@linjaysha]

Fantastic outcome, Katie!❤ You'd never know there had been any damage to that dog-chewed corner of the dresser. It looks brand new! 👍🏾

[@iammarysue]

Beautiful! I have a houseful of puppy damaged furniture. Wish I lived by you so I could leave it on the curb and pray that the furniture fairy (you) would work your magic and return it on my doorstep!! Seriously Katie, your talent leaves me in awe!

[@DigsRetro]

What an amazingly smooth and beautiful finish! It looks like the dresser is smiling and happy to have a brand new life and to get to live inside again. I'm always impressed by how you can transform the most hopeless looking pieces into showroom stunners.

[@honeykat1]

You really do have vision: i would have passed right by that piece, thinking it was too ugly and broken, but you brought it back to life. And it was a very informative video too! Thank you! kindest regards, k

[@emilyjones912]

Thank you! This was helpful with my furniture makeovers. Showing how to fill in dog damage was especially helpful. Your patience and dedication is so evident in all the beautiful work you do!

[@kathrynkneeland7179]

I love that trashed dresser that came out looking elegantly new. I also love your simple designs that show off the design of the furniture. Beautiful!!

[@CarolinaSattler]

This paint indeed has incredible self-leveling properties! The finish on this dresser looks so smooth, almost like a matte finish as well, which got me wondering how this dresser would look all in black, just the hardware in a more shinny finish. Great job as always and thanks for keeping this beatiful piece out of the landfill! You give furniture a second life that I'm sure brings happiness to the family who happens to own it! 🧡

[@hannahf.3636]

The finish on this is just incredible. I can only imagine how good it looks in person!!

[@nidaldajani728]

Surprisingly it turned out really nice! I thought perhaps leaving the top in wood grain would be nicer, but seeing the finished product proved your choice for total painting was better.

[@rnithuigim5768]

I really enjoyed your bulk pick up day video. We don't have that where I live. Seeing what you do to each of those pieces is inspiring. You make each project seem so doable.

[@DiamondDustAndVerdigris]

😲 Wow! Gorgeous! Well done, Katie! And the Bondo "tricks" are just brilliant. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

[@hlynn2008]

So stunning! I like the satiny sheen on that paint and that texture is factory finish perfect! Love watching you work your magic on these pieces and you problem solve - I think we all learn so much from you by watching the whole process 💖

[@margiewhatley5788]

Just beautiful! Hard to believe the dog ever got to this piece.

[@lisasmith9123]

Beautiful job rescuing this grand old lady. It is stunning and it would have been criminal to condemn this sideboard to landfill. Great job.

[@irenearbuckle4744]

LOVE this one too Katie! Your choice of hardware is always spot-on!! Looks brand new! Another fabulous transformation!! Thanks for all you do!

[@lyndagreenwald3909]

Katie! You are truly an inspiration to fixing furniture! A beautiful job on the trash dresser!

[@sibylleherbe8260]

Wow! I’m really impressed with the job you did on that puppy corner. The whole thing looks amazing.

[@kaycox19]

I ALWAYS learn so much from you young lady!! Thank you for posting. MAGNIFICENT outcome.

[@kendrad4491]

The dresser turned out beautifully! Absolutely stunning.

[@lovidas6297]

WOW, WOW, WOW, Katie!!! Love it!! So much info, especially the doggie chew repair. I also love your choice of music. As usual, great job!

[@strobela1]

It is a stunning piece! You are very inspiring 😊

[@rhondawillhite9418]

Wow, that corner repair!! You would never know how chewed up it was. The whole dresser turned out beautiful.

[@annmurphy883]

It's glamorous Katie! Beautiful job!

[@lionheart830]

Wow! It looks brand new! What a beautiful transformation!

[@garneti]

Always a pleasure to watch you work, Katie. The piece is beautiful.

[@TeresaBranham]

This piece looks amazing!! You’d never know how bad that bottom corner was if you didn’t see the before. You did an amazing job with the repairs on this piece!!!

[@karenwright9926]

What an elegant piece of furniture now!

[@cantocant2346]

Love seeing your curb finds redone while they are fresh in my mind!

[@caroledwards1182]

Love it! Love the paint color and the new knobs. I usually prefer natural wood to painted but that piece would have been difficult to restore. You always do a great job and I love that you donate the pieces instead of selling them.

[@sburwell75]

I would never know it was ever damaged. It turned out beautiful

[@pou618]

Truly a silk purse out of a sow's ear. What used to be low end furniture in it's day, is better now you've remade it than the junk that's out there today. Very nice 👍

[@jenniferlashley2081]

I love the luster on that finish! Not usually a fan of black furniture, but the finish combined with the gold trim elevated the look of this piece to "high end."

[@conniesisco6468]

That repair was perfection! 😊

[@serasmiles2]

What an awesome repair!

[@mariedrotar3215]

Katie, you are truly a professional. This dresser is so beautifully finished in the end. It is actually breath-taking !

[@jenwylie4093]

Thanks for rescuing this piece from the trash! You fixed it up so it can be loved again. Fantastic job!

[@LizTaylor-nb5uq]

Perfection! So beautiful. These videos are like therapy for me. The best part is knowing that these pieces now have a place in someone's home instead of a landfill.

[@wendysmith1166]

Tip: if you take one of those little tools that you use after you pound a nail in and you want to sync it in... Go around your paint cans in that top little ridge where the lid goes and punch in four holes at 12 -3- 6 9. Your paint will drift back into the can and not run down the sides

[@ellenswartz7203]

Stunning. It’s like magic - if magic was a gifted, talented and meticulous artist and craftswoman. Just amazing to watch the transformation. 💜

[@madamm2026]

It is a real pleasure watching you work. In the ocean of -wood stainers restorators- you end up being the cool one, practicing flexibility and going with your creativity, and not with modern trends. Everyone should strive at -being true to yourself. Thank you for inspiring, God bless you and your family.

[@lisabailes1065]

Absolutely beautiful! This may be my favorite of all your many lovely updates. ❤️

[@helenwilkerson8592]

Amazing repair and save.I love it ❤ I really admire your attention to details.❤

[@Lulu5771]

Wow. I can’t get over how great that looks. The part where the dog chewed up is Perfect ! Beautiful ❤

[@louanneross6410]

OMG if I walked into a store and saw this I would be running to get it and dare say people in my way could be injured. Kidding of course but this is just stunning Katie. The curved drawer fronts in that sleek black with gold accents. Brilliant. I'm obsessed.

[@jeanniesmith6766]

Black Paint Gold knobs Absolutely Stunning! Super Instructor!

[@wolfewerks]

You are a perfectionist and it shows in the final result. Just gorgeous! ♥️♥️♥️

[@pamyacuzzo6614]

Oh my goodness, what a beautiful SAVE!

[@corinne_vintage]

She's so DRAMATIC!! She's a STUNNER!! 🤩😍

[@dburton554]

That was amazing! Instead of throwing out my dinning room table and spending close to 2k for another one I am going to try to restore it. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@barbarapark2267]

Brilliant repair! So happy to see the new life you’ve given this piece. And, your staging skills are second to none. Truly!

[@antiquesrestoration3874]

I'm relieved to know it wasn't actually your dog that at the dresser. Fantastic project!

[@whateverrrrrr123]

You are the definition of the word INSPIRATION.

[@GabrielleTurco]

After watching your videos, I decided this would be my new hobby! Got my first stand done!

[@jill552]

Beautiful. Another landfill save!

[@2Cambell]

This dresser turned out really fabulous! I will confess to getting a bit excited when you pulled out the paint and I saw Emerald on it. But then I remembered that it wasn't the color, just a type. 😅 Black was a better choice, but maybe one day, you'll paint something Emerald City green. 😂

[@LoudNProud-cn7tf]

This looks magnificent! You would never know that it was once an oversized dog chew toy. Great job Katie! 👏👏

[@rcd5k7]

That repair is pure perfection! Amazing.

[@kimberlynolan2573]

Amazing repairs, just perfect 😃 I hope the last owner catches this video, they wouldn't recognize it! Thank you for this, gives us, puppy owners some hope, lol. Have a blessed day 🙏🌼🙏

[@teresacathey8189]

Hello Katie. You transformed this piece into something sleek and elegant looking.❤👍👍😮😮

[@JackieBluXO]

This piece turned out great! The repair work is seamless and that paint coverage is beautiful. Nice to know that the black paint can be rolled on.

[@shellyannray3601]

This dresser is absolutely beautiful!!! No one can even tell that it ever had a chewed up area at the bottom of the dresser. Phenomenal job on this restoration!!! ❤❤❤

[@boonhaven]

So beautiful. I can't wait to tackle my furniture finds my neighbor was throwing out.

[@jenkaa55]

Katie, another beautiful save! Some lucky person is going to love having this in their home!

[@BigMamaCat]

What an amazing transformation. That repair was so very well done, and I love the colour. 🙂

[@doreenwalker2539]

Thank you, i so enjoy watching you.

[@shellydehart8217]

Katie, I’m so impressed how you take your time on each project you work on. Your never in a rush to get it done. This dresser looks sooo nice painting it black with the gold accents. Another piece of furniture starting a new life. Your awesome girl! ♥️♥️😊👍👍🌟🌟

[@dallasforrest647]

I really appreciate how thoroughly you explain your thought process at each step as you go. It is super helpful! And this dresser turned out beautifully. Thank you!

[@sandrawinchester1138]

Awesome outcome on this trash to treasure. I absolutely love the solid black paint. Beautiful

[@kjohnson120]

OMG! My parents had that very dresser - I'm guessing 1960s. You made it look better than it did as new! Very cool.

[@faysaunders2582]

I think I've watched just about all the videos. I'm hooked. Your a great teacher. This is so relaxing and at the same time motivating to watch. Thankyou!!!❤

[@sandraholeman1708]

I was totally amazed with this video…….your knowledge and artistic expression is fascinating! Another beautiful piece ❣️❣️❣️

[@cindylake7193]

I love how this dresser turned out. You always do such a great job (in my opinion). Sometimes I am not a fan of the colors you choose only because they are not my taste however you ALWAYS do a great job!!! ❤

[@maureenlarkin3495]

Wow! That was an epic fix to the doggie damage! Thank you for showing how you did it! It gives me some confidence to try a challenging repair too! The final finish is gorgeous! Thank you for your inspirations!

[@susanreed5490]

Beautiful transformation! Great save! ♥ That corner came out perfect! You'd never know there was damage there!

[@NursingNursing-bs7hb]

I love your flips. Not only do I enjoy watching them, I learn so much. I want to start painting and restoring furniture as well. You are one of the first artists I started watching years ago. I only hope to be able to do it as well as you.

[@lindaposta939]

Wow you would never know that this was some dog’s breakfast! Very elegant

[@Betharoot]

Wow! This blew me away. So beautiful!!

[@pattitarniuk799]

You rock 🎸 Katie!! ❤

[@deborahmatatall]

This is a wonderful turn-around. Tricorn Black is my favorite shade of black. I love the way the legs look now, with their fancy gold shoes and their little black dress. The refresh on the hardware is perfect. I have a chewed-off corner on a night stand. I am going to repair it the way you did. That turned out great!🌸

[@rochellebush162]

I love your “molds” and I am happy to hear that the automotive Bondo can be used in place of the all purpose Bondo that is harder to find. You are amazing teacher ❤❤❤

[@joanklaczek4009]

Very well done.

[@trudyeby464]

Nice save! Beautiful as always.

[@shanic2018]

Your flips are always a treat to watch. I’m amazed at how beautiful each piece is transformed from trash to something so beautiful! You certainly inspired me to tackle my first flip and I am so happy with the results!

[@lyndapalecek8952]

What an informative and creative video. I always learn something new from your incredible work. The repair on the chewed corner was so well done. It looks beautiful. Keep up the good work!

[@dabogdan8487]

Great color choice. It is beautiful.

[@Dana-g7h2h]

I absolutely love that dresser the color is beautiful

[@cherylwine6003]

It looks amazing! Great job hiding the damaged corner too! I love black and gold together.

[@andrewhill6383]

Stunning job on this dresser Katie and has given me inspiration on how to repair a dog chewed find I got on marketplace. Thank you 🙏

[@lynnedagg8376]

I have been enjoying your videos for many months now. You are incredibly talented, with a fabulous eye for design, and a great attention to detail. You also have a voice that is very easy on the ears. I have redone a number of pieces of furniture for myself and for my daughter's family. Unfortunately, I didn't know about you, and all your wonderful advice, at that time! Thanks so very much for all the wonderful entertainment and information.

[@annaselvi8915]

From an ugly to a beautiful and stunning piece !

[@tracyschubert3972]

Absolutely stunning! Well done. I’ve watched hundreds of videos like this …but I learned so much from you watching this!! Thank you! ❤

[@natalieelisabeth5767]

I learn something every time!The bondo in the ziplock bag…whaaaat! So using that hack. And the drywall putty on the small details- I’ve been so tempted to to use it in a pinch but had no idea if it would hold up, great to know it’s an option 👏

[@paulapark9418]

That is fantastic Katie. Wow 🤩

[@astrudlang7557]

Absolutely beautiful!!! Love the clean chic look ❤️

[@kimberleeduncan6143]

Wow! I love the transformation! Thank you for all of the tips and tricks! That corner repair is epic! You’re a true artist and inspiration. Thank you!!! 😊
