What to do with your outdated furniture! | MAJOR FURNITURE UPGRADE

[@lauriepowell3959]

The wood filler in a baggie idea was great! Then snip and squeeze filler into crack just like a baker would apply frosting. You win the prize 🏆 for thinking outside the box and adapting for a simple, easy and elegant solution. ❤🛠️

Donating to your food bank is an awesome thing to do. I read an article that made me think about what to donate. Items I never thought about. Canned food is a given but I know meal kits are donated. What is not donated is what goes into the kits. It also lists personal items for women and babies. I'm not sure if my food pantry is equipped to store cold food and essentials. I intend to call.

[@salvagedbykscott]

So true! We donate regularly but with this project we’re specifically planning to purchase a bunch of perishable dairy items (milk, butter, yogurt, cheese) to help out for the holiday weeks when the kids are home from school and may not have access to their regular breakfast/lunch programs at school.

[@aliferefurbished]

Love the makeover and your generous heart my friend!!

[@susanprice3377]

The new bottom trim is a HUGE improvement. Lovely finished piece.

[@salvagedbykscott]

I think so too!

[@jarcha4200]

I personally don’t like the new bottom. I think it’s a poor design choice to not leave adequate space between the bottom of the dresser and the floor. It is not durable, it’s going to get banged into by shoes/ boots, vacuum, cleaners, toy cars cars, and anything else within an inch of the floor. Furthermore, it doesn’t allow for easily cleaning underneath the dresser (without moving the entire dresser on those tiny little felt pegs). I need furniture that I can clean around and use without damaging it. That’s why wood furniture is supposed to actually have legs on it.

[@dianahampton8768]

I think that is one of the prettiest pieces you have ever made over, it is just stunning. I don’t know how you manage to part with them!

[@suecox2308]

"Mr. Salvaged." . That dark green is a beautiful choice for this little chest; it looks like a million bucks.

[@kathyl5610]

I know, that “Mr. Salvaged”, cracked me up.

[@michelelee5339]

I think this makeover is top notch! This is the type of piece you'd see at West Elm, Article, Urban Outfitters and other high-end furniture boutiques. You have an excellent eye for marketable pieces. Thank you so much for supporting the food banks. The need is great and their donations are down. Bravo Katie 👏 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@ellem8997]

Besides being incredibly talented I love that you are going to donate the profits. You are a kind soul. 😊

[@kathyl5610]

Another beautiful job, Katie, Scott! You never cease to amaze me and I love the color. Shout out to your husband, “Mr. salvaged” for all his help. Take care, stay safe.

[@salvagedbykscott]

Thank you so much!

[@roseanndivincenzo]

You have such a good vision of how your redesigned pieces will finish! Fabulous job!

[@nicolastavrinou3163]

Fab

[@charlenegoskowicz8220]

Whoa! Sleek, classic, and timeless! Girl, you are the BOSS!

[@marilynyarbrough7951]

Nope, we thank YOU! There is nothing more gratifying than giving back…. Oh, and the piece is awesome! Love, love, love the color.

[@mkemp5983]

Having your hubby help is awesome, the dresser is awesome. Thanks for keeping it real, I too would spill the paint😂

[@phnxlin]

This is why I love watching your videos. You are so informative and you show the mess ups. I learn so much from your videos. Dresser turned out so pretty

[@CamilleCuisine]

The colour is perfect, the knobs really compliment the dresser and the base is so inspiring! Love it!

[@dshey6802]

You have such a great design sense, Katie. You come up with some transformations that I would never ever think to do.

[@wendysmith1166]

That turned out super nice! Another good job!

[@debbyalder4089]

Just sitting up in bed, with the beginnings of a cold and feeling a bit blah 😨. When along came the lovely Katie with a wonderful new transformation to cheer me right up!! Thank you for showing us your snow … it’s spring here in Oz and the birds are singing and the sun shining! I feel better already 🫠

[@Nit2003Nat]

The updated bottom skirt on that dresser is perfection. Love it

[@lyndagreenwald3909]

How lovely the chest looks! Katie you are a real transformer from sad to gorgeous! And what a great idea to give to the food bank. I’m sure it’s well appreciated 🎉

[@MARYBOORMAN]

THANK YOU Katie! For your pride and care crafting these beautiful make-overs and especially thank you for providing help to the local food bank. Very kind of you and the chest of drawers looks fabulous! Love this green for sure! :-)

[@giulianacarnevale6062]

Thank you for the snowfall shot… I live in Florida and we don’t get that here..😂 Love, love, love this piece!!

[@salvagedbykscott]

❄️ ❄️ ❄️

[@MrHuismeester]

And again Magic has landed on this Piece !!!Amazing what a color and new hardware can do on a older and dull chest of drawers , and so you did it again and it is looking absolute great !!! My Compliments !!

[@kimhough7753]

It is gorgeous Katie! Bless you for donating all of your flips! You have a good heart! ❤️❤️❤️

[@jonilarsen2642]

What a clever way to fill the hardware holes!! Love your channel!

[@melanieeaton3344]

I am so glad you showed the paint cleanup and good save on the remainder of the paint! Love what you did with that piece!

[@NoDecaf7]

Well, that is what a drop cloth is for! 😅 Love the outcome of this piece. The hardware is fantastic.

[@monicahernandez7431]

Such a beautiful dresser! Wonderful that you’re donating the proceeds to your local food bank. ❤ What a great way to use your talents! There’s so much need out there.

[@CreativeIdeasMaker]

By renovating an old piece of furniture, you were able to create a beautiful product, and this is a sign of your skill and creativity.

[@RadBadJodster]

Love that you changed out the trim on the bottom. Another stunner. TY for doing the donation. That is awesome. ❤❤❤

[@lorrem2539]

Oh, Katie! Your face after you dropped that can of paint was priceless! Love the green clor.

[@kathymeyer6086]

Wow, what a great transformation! So glad to hear that you're donating the profits from this project to your local food shelf. I volunteer for a food shelf & it's these types of donations that keep us afloat. The need is so great right now. Thanks for sharing your time & talents in such a wonderful way.

[@denisehopkins6096]

Wow Katie... You turned a "Discard" into a showpiece! It's really lovely.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Love this color! 😊

[@salvagedbykscott]

Me too!!

[@katherineharper-sj4ys]

I really like the new trim on the bottom of this dresser. Big improvement. Bless you for donating the money to the food bank. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

[@vickyreynolds1109]

It really blesses me to see you try to save as much as you could of the spilled paint. ❤️

[@miriamjames4140]

Love how this piece turned out! I also wanted to mention that often food banks have deals with food suppliers to buy food at a discounted cost, so donating the equivalent money to a food bank rather than actual food can go further, and they can get exactly what they need. That being said, obviously anything helps and I think it's really admirable that you donate the profits from the sale of this piece!

[@MsPackman4]

Gorgeous piece. I love that you tell us about the donation recipients. It feels different when you say proceeds go to milk eggs and butter vs proceeds go to charity. ❤️❤️ Thank you for another awesome video.

[@eileenpotts5787]

Of all the colors you’ve chosen, I think this is my favorite. Now I know what color I want to use for dresser! Love it!

[@nub-cake]

The tips you give are so useful and detailed. You are amazing!

[@debrabutler7452]

Stunning. Bravo.

[@lynnez7389]

Wow!! Amazing! I'm also glad to see I'm not the only one that drops things! LOL So nice you are donating the profits too! Thank you for all your instructions!

[@honeykat1]

I remember having a chest of drawers like that about 50 years ago! It's lovely in the new colour and less fussy styling! kindest regards, k

[@glttrgrl]

Bravo for donating your profit to help those in need of food. I love your videos!

[@smilingvick]

Katie, you do such a great job taking care of all the little details. I am learning so much by watching you do your makeovers! This piece turned out so beautiful.

[@carolinepayne1058]

Brilliant ❤

[@deborahmatatall]

Fabulous update and makeover! I love that you use different paints for different pieces. I’m absolutely in love with Sherwin Williams’ Emerald paint and that color is gorgeous. Everything about this dresser is A++++++!🌸

[@salvagedbykscott]

Me too!!

[@trixie9777]

Oh Katie! I had to laugh when the paint can spilled … not AT you, but with you. I do stuff like that, too! You always do beautiful work on these pieces that are so outdated & rough looking. Your videos are very comforting.

[@salvagedbykscott]

$h!t happens 😂😅

[@rebekahschroeder7949]

Green and brass! My favorite color combo! 😍

[@lizlittle7064]

Completely different from the beginning. Your projects are so inspiring.

[@valeriehowden471]

Perfect. Really like the elevation to reduce skirting damage.

[@louanneross6410]

Great job Katie. Love the color and hardware together. Bless you for donating to your local food bank.

[@akelley.73]

Love how the hardware and new color go together.

[@sassyt789]

You have inspired me. I love the honest open commentary. Love the techniques you use and sharing to help others be able to repeat the process. Keep up the great work!

[@lesleywatkins1172]

New trim just makes it! I absolutely love this colour! 😊

[@patriciacrozier7624]

You are such a generous person thinking of others! Bless you.❤️

[@pattym4543]

Beautiful transformation! Your food bank will appreciate your donation. ❤

[@latinlovervanvoorst]

I found your channel randomly. I’ve been watching because I got a couple pieces I wanna makeover and turn them into great pieces

[@divineohnine]

It looks absolutely beautiful! And how wonderful that you donate the proceeds to your food bank!

[@MelDidItHerself]

Turned out absolutely glorious, and I'm totally stealing that ziploc hack...genius!!

[@deefaye7336]

That turned out beautifully! Way better than my limited imagination pictured. Green is not one of my favorite colors but I absolutely love this color on this piece!

[@janecheetham1826]

Beautiful Katie. As always. And the generous gift to your local food bank..... 😊

[@bobromero2485]

The restyle is great and the green color is beautiful.

[@sandyleet1]

So happy to see how to replace the horrible decorative scroll on the bottom

[@debr4613]

Really appreciate Mr. Salvaged too!

[@angelaehr4963]

Thank you for this video! I picked up the desk bureau version of this exact piece for $10 at a consignment shop and wondered how in the world I would make it over. It's in pretty good condition but the front piece screams 'take it off!'. Thanks, Katie, for another amazing flip.

[@runvidr]

OMG! That is SUCH a great improvement! I love that style, too!

[@singlespeedeats745]

The dropping of the paint can was hilarious😂 Glad you could salvage some off the drop cloth!

[@monicahernandez2876]

You & the hubby did an awesome job! I love the color choice.

[@ellenwitko3734]

Love the color! Great work once again. So glad you donated to your local food pantry.

[@zonyasvintage7859]

Gorgeous color and such an amazing update for that little cheapy dresser. I really like what you did with the bottom.

[@bethanywarr2720]

That's for sure my fave!!! The color....!

[@Nevernotlate]

You are one of my favorite furniture flippers. Love your work.

[@Rocketjay12]

That is beautiful! Your craftsmanship is matched by your artistry. Nice job! 👍

[@JoLanda-q2f]

I like the added piece to the bottom. Made it look modern. Came out so nice. Love the green color! Just FYI: you are a lovely person with such a big heart. (Always making donations) Stay beautiful!

[@judymcinnis]

Katie, what an amazing job.🌺 I love the new hardware. I always pre- drill my new holes for my hardware before I paint, just in case I make a mistake and I have.😀

[@karenlathrop534]

I love this color and the gorgeous transformation you did. I will have to watch more of your videos to see what is trending and also check out the high-end furniture boutiques to see how to get inspiration for my projects! I love the fact that you kept in the paint spill! That is so me! And more importantly, that you are contributing your profits to those in need! Way to go!

[@bback4078]

You always have inspiring visions for pieces and this one is even better than I had imagined you'd do! I also love your generous heart donating the proceeds of this dresser to the food bank.

[@melodymulhall7860]

I love it especially the color. Great job. The bottom made a huge difference!

[@emmavik-fredriksson640]

So cute! Love the dark green.

[@JudiChristopher]

That Bottom Trim ... makes a totally difference... and you put rollers on it too... Right? I put Rollers on everything that is that big...

[@lindatyner3349]

I love the transformation. Beautiful color. And, the hardware is very classic!

[@elizabethlacky6068]

I love the color coupled with the pulls . It's a winner! 👍

[@patriciadesserud9402]

Great improvement indeed, nice clean lines and I love, love, love the colour. Thanks for saving this piece of furniture.

[@Annmarie-gd3fv]

You did a beautiful makeover on the dresser! Love, love, love the color you chose!

[@patriciacrozier7624]

That is a remarkable upgrade! Congrats!

[@donnashelley3939]

Love it, the color, and the modifications. Terrific!

[@milliehouston1089]

Just amazing. The color, hardware, new trim….perfect

[@johansomer1477]

Hi Katie, I love your channel so much! Missed the “Hello my furniture friends” at the beginning of the episode. It’s totally iconic ❤

[@helenk5579]

Great transformation, love the green color!!

[@joycohen938]

Fantastic re-style ❤ thank you for blessing others with the proceeds you’ll get from this chest.

[@christinefeucht8668]

The color is spot on. Great job

[@patriciacrozier7624]

Love your choice of colour! AND love the changes you made. Sweet…keep up your awesome work.❤

[@Triplehgirl17]

This is beautiful! I love that you are so generous with your time and talent!

[@kathrynkneeland7179]

Wow!! You never disappoint. Beautiful!

[@patriciamay638]

I love what you did with the skirt

[@jeanettepaynter1183]

Love the way this turned out especially the color. ❤

[@michelez715]

Thank you, Katie, for making a complete novice like me, feel I might be able to do something like this one day. I'd have to borrow Mr. Salvaged, though, to do the measuring and mitreing!

[@twilde3754]

Another beauty, Katie! So fun and informative to watch.

[@aplewis59]

I have a secretary style desk that has a very similar look, and this gives me an idea of how to make it over (that is, it's on my to do list, lol). I'm glad you decided to donate to your local food bank, I know it's more needed than ever right now.

[@longbranch11207]

Love it
