TRASH TO TREASURE | Upcycled IKEA Dresser

[@ananyamore8746]

Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included kzbin.infoUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.

The best teachers acknowledge their mistakes and demonstrate how they fix them. Nice job.

[@baidykle1]

I appreciate that this video does not have all that typical youtube over excited talking and is peaceful and just goes straight to the point. Thank you for that. Also, your skills and how you did everything so professionally is very inspiring. I'm happily becoming a new subscriber! :)

[@libbyholt3863]

Ditto about the peaceful, to-the-point approach!! But, going forward, could you also slightly turn down the volume on the accompanying music? Your work is AWEsome & very inspiring!!! Your presentation and the work, itself, very professional. Thank you for sharing what you do.

[@sophiecolunga8743]

For your cane, try soaking it in water first, then staple to piece. Once it dries, it will tighten up to give you a nice taunt look.

[@salvagedbykscott]

I’ve seen that a few times. I was leery of the moisture ruining the freshly painted finish so I decided to skip that step. It ended up laying very flat on it own and I was able to get some good tension with my staples. If I ever do a larger panel I’ll definitely try the soaking method out. ❤️❤️

[@melissasubatch1324]

I work with cane all the time, I agree you have soak it first to get the tight finish.

[@salvagedbykscott]

@@melissasubatch1324 for this purpose it doesn’t require a super taught finish and the wet cane would have damaged my paint finish.

[@silvergray2345]

@@salvagedbykscott I wondered about the moisture factor on the newly painted piece 👍

Even this is an earlier vid, but you have vision, follow through, a calm explanation, and you showed us your errors and what to do. I really appreciate your transparency. All of us go through this sometimes, but not all of us are willing to show it. Keep up the good work! HUGS!

[@soofihasan]

Thank you for sharing, a superb idea and turned out v nice. It is greta that we have people like you who are using elbow grease and not letting things go to junk

[@michellesutton202]

Love the color, and the webbing. Adding those half holes in the drawers, just really elevates this piece. Gives it a more simplistic and elegant design. Beautiful job, as always. Great video too😊😊❤

[@user-qz5gi4uh6x]

Your determination is a wonderful trait of a strong character, Katie. Thank you for sharing and ensuring that others will know how to correct a similar issue.

[@MelissaG84]

The clip of you peeling the paint off was sooooo satisfying. I was like whoa I would peel that whole dresser for fun

[@salvagedbykscott]

Lol, trust me, I tried!

[@GoogleUser-wx8mw]

I'm not a hard-core DIYer like a lot of your followers. I just love watching makeovers. Thank you for not making it all look more simple than it is, and telling us which step could probably be skipped. Glad you showed up in my feed.

[@wildspirit922]

It is such a relief to find things go awry for someone else and its not just me! I've refinished and sold many pieces and some times get a piece that has me frustrated to the point of wanting to throw in the towel! But I take a break from those pieces and go back later, telling them that "I always win" 😆 Thanks for being real.

[@speaklife6790]

This is the business I've been after my daughter to begin! Creative people are Awesome! Great work girl! Love it

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

So many little tricks n skills are learned with each accomplished piece. For a tatty throw out....it looks good for many more years to come. Well done.

[@BellaRenovare]

I cannot even tell you how much I love this!!!!!!! That Cane!!!

[@salvagedbykscott]

Thanks C!

[@65farah]

Wow!!! I definitely like the way you tame the stubborn furniture! Bravooo ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Katie.

[@alexandrevenne7]

I felt your deception and I loved your attitude towards the problem solving. I feel it's not always easy to live with our art not being perfectly perfect and fighting this sometimes doesn't help. I love how you said : This is not perfect, BUT I have tried new things and learnt something in the process. In the end, I feel that this is what makes us evolve as artists (and humans). Focusing on the positive rather than see what is not perfect. Your channel is inspiring in many ways ! Thanks for making such great content :)

[@mooreandless]

I love the black with the rattan. The smooth finish is lovely. Well done Katie.

[@starladixon9656]

I agree lol..

[@jeanbond3102]

Turned out well. Cutting the pulls out was a stroke of genius 👍

[@Phalaenopsisify]

I like the result and I admire you for doing this work, saving furniture from the landfill. You have inspired me to change hardware on a pair of old night stands, a big step for me!

[@lindseyhenry4059]

I sure admire you for showing us the problems you encountered with this project and the paint color specifically. Your realistic vlog is one of the best in furniture recycle. Great job and beautiful piece!

[@quinnpommerton2322]

Thank you for showing what went wrong. It really helps us furniture artists learn what to do should we experience the same thing. Beautiful dresser! You are amazing!!!!!!

[@salvagedbykscott]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sveapollock2537]

The finger pull holes. Absolutely brilliant!

[@giagordon7872]

Katie, I SO appreciate your honesty in showing both the easy, successful part of furniture re-making, and also the challenges. I usually have at least one major snafu in every project, but sometimes the pivot is better than the original plan, and it always teaches me something new about doing this. Good on you!

[@4everyoung24]

Nice!!! The finger holes were a great idea. Keeps it simple. LOVE the black with the natural cane.

[@jaynedeneen6899]

Always excited when you use dark colors, especially black and deep greens. (Guess I'm just tired of white-everything right now.) Nice piece and, as a small-apartment dweller, I really appreciate the scale. Thanks, Katie!

[@frekita30]

It came out BEAUTIFULLY!!!

[@sheilamashburn1795]

Your ideas and inspiring visions are so yummy! Thanks for sharing!

I live in a huge apt in the city, people always leave furniture. I have gotten so many beautiful pieces that I flipped THANK YOU for this video def going to try the cane! BEAUTIFUL def subbing🥰 My son is usually mortified when I get him to help me pick up pieces on the side of the curb but I have a vision 😍

[@thriftedbycamille5539]

The finished product was absolutely beautiful 🤩

[@ndacosta11]

I'm actually doing a similar reno on a dresser. I'm turning a traditional into mid-century...As I told a friend "don't be afraid 😨 of mistakes because they, as you said, improve our skills. You recovered from your missteps and that's what important.

[@desireemarana4997]

Just WOW!! I never would have thought to cut out pulls they way you did! West elm worthy!!

[@salvagedbykscott]

Awe, thanks 😊

[@marjan3010]

Again, I am so impressed by your patience and bravery. The finish is great. I appreciate your detailed explanation of mistakes and things to avoid. Well done!

Loved this. I just repainted my daughter's childhood dresser with black chalkboard paint to use in my bedroom.

Oh, Katie, I love this! (*really* glad you didn't just give up and put it back out on the street) The finger-pulls-rather-than-handles idea was genius, and the black with rattan is beautiful. Very nice work!

Thank you! 😊

[@melaniegonzalezart8506]

So cool!!! I appreciate the extra effort. I am not a #woodworker either though I enjoy flipping items for my art studio and recently a dingy vintage Vermont dresser for my wardrobe. It took over a month to complete the refurbishing and a month for the top coat to off gas but I'm using the dresser and I'm in awe that I didn't trash the project along the way! I read on a woodworking forum, on one of the many times I was researching for the dresser project, something along the lines of "The difference between woodworking and firewood is patience" that stuck with me!!!

[@CrypticConversions]

You are a painful perfectionist, but that causes you to do high quality work. Beautiful job. Love your videos.

[@tcappog8586]

Great video Katie! Appreciate the walkthrough on the prepping and painting process. Will definitely use your guidance when I refinish my bathroom vanities. Cheers, T

It looks great, Katie. I like your honest integrity as well as your design skills.
