Can I make this cute?? | Extreme DIY Oak Cabinet Makeover
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ส.ค. 2021
- In today's video I take an old, outdated rolling cabinet made of oak veneer and try to make it cute. Can I make this cute? In this diy oak cabinet makeover, I certainly try! Oak is not very trendy right now, and although it's okay to have furniture that is not "on-trend" I really wanted to give this cabinet/TV stand some new life and make it over in a more modern style! I love the mid-century inspired legs, and the faux cane (also faux burlap) backing I added on.
And there were many frustrations along the way. I'm still working on patience :)
Thanks for watching!

Do you enjoy these videos?! Consider gifting something from my Amazon Wishlist! I'll give you a shoutout in the video when I use the product!! Thanks so much for your support :) - Clara amzn.to/3xslNWx
How nice to see someone who ends up splattered with paint. I've been starting to think that everyone else in the world keeps clean while painting as in a lot of the other furniture flipping videos I've watched, people paint in good clothing and somehow manage to keep it clean! I like how you explain what went wrong too!
Haha!!! Awesome, Dawn. Yes, I have paint everywhere haha. All over my clothes and so now I have to only wear a couple "paint' outfits. In my creative process, things get MESSY! :) Thanks for watching
Like this thick wood furniture, it's beautifull and modern, keep going for it
Thank you, I will!
The half circle handles look good.
Thank you, Megan! I feel like they made all the difference. Small details can have a huge impact, huh!? Thanks for watching!
It came out amazing! Exactly what I had in mind for it when I first saw it. Great job!
Wow! Thanks, Emalee! :)
I sure appreciate your honesty. I feel you with frustrating pieces like that.... So great that you stuck with it!
Miki, oh good. I am glad that my honesty resonated with you! Thanks for watching :)
I liked it better with just one coat. You could see all the wood grain😀
She's so cute! Great job! Don't waste any time beating yourself up, remember that you're learning as you go....❤️
Thank you, Jackie. A helpful reminder! :)
Adorable...good job...that was a 90's microwave cart
Thanks so much Kelly!
New subscriber....LOVE YOUR CHANNEL...LOVE YOUR HONESTY AND SHOWING THE TRUE PATH WE ALL START ON WHEN UPCYCLING!!
LOL!
I was on the fence about the color, but I definitely love how this turned out! I am definitely going to give this color a try for an upcoming project. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR INSPIRATION!
Oh wow! Thanks so much, Candice. I'm glad you're here! It is important to me to show the ups and downs and truths to the process :) Thanks for watching!
Looks amazing! Yeah been there done that as far as the mistakes go. But all your hard work paid off.
Thanks so much, Lisette!
What a cute cabinet 😍😊👍🏽
Thank you, Ursula! :) I'm in love with DB's color choices!!
You did it!It does look cute. 🎊🎉🎈🥳🥳
Aw, yay thank you Monica! Woohoo!
Way to stick with it! I appreciate your "real talk" approach and showing the set backs. I have been there! Super cute piece, totally elevated and looks as right at home in your place. Love the plant, too. Congrats on a job well done!
Thanks so much, Marcella! I am glad that my process resonates with you.
Very nice color,,,great update
Thanks so much, Dodd! It was a much needed update :) Thanks for watching!
Love the color!
Thanks so much, Amber! It's a fun one.
I love the idea about the legs and I guessed the color! 😍
Beautiful! Love the color.
Thanks so much! I love it, too. What a fun color! Love their options.
Looks amazing!
Thanks Marina!
I’m dying right now because this is practically the exact piece I sent to you 🤣 I knew you could work your magic.
Hahha YEP! I was like, hmmm that one looks good but it's basically the same as the video I just did and not sure if I could get away with that? hahah
You did a great job🦋
Thank you, Rita! Cheers!
I love your channel! Your honesty is a treasure. I wish there were videos like yours when I started flipping ❤️
What a kind thing to say! Thank you
This turned out so cute in the end!!! I definitely understand the being frustrated with a piece!! I’ve thrown many to the curb bc the tested my patience WAY to much. Kudos to you for sticking it out and creating such a pretty piece, Clara! ❤️
Aw, thanks Ashley. OMG yeah sometimes it is just NOT worth it haha. But I'm glad I stuck with it :)
You did a great job! Perfect accent piece!
Thank you so much, Katrina! Glad you think so :)
The smallest touch of burlap, the legs & the handles pulled it together nicely. Way to power through Clara!! Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
Thanks so much! Sometimes it's all in the details, huh?
Thanks for keeping it real! It turned out so cute! I have a piece I am struggling with. The vision started as a west elm dupe in white. But, I am having adherence problems both primer in spots and paint in spots. It's as if the wood is telling me it needs to be revealed. We will see how it turns out! 🤷♀️
Hey Cindy!! Thank you. Yes, I am alwayyyys here to tell the truth and keep it real haha! Oh dang, well I hope by now you've found some good problem solving... Did you west elm dupe turn out or have you gone in a different direction?!
Still working on it! Life got in the way 😉 The new vision is partial wood exposed and the remainder paint. 🤞😊 Update: the exposed wood and paint combo is the ticket. The dresser and I are much happier now and making good progress!
Great job! Turned out so cute!
Thank you! 😊 Hard work paid off haha!
This really turned out well. I can see why you almost gave up but I guess now you are glad you didn’t.
Thanks, Liz! yes, totally. It can be so frustrating but also it was so worth it in the end :)
Oh wow! Really like this piece! Great job, kiddo!
Thank you so much, Melissa! I dig it, too! :)
Love it
Thanks, Gayle!
Great vision this turned lovely! Glad you pushed through and didn’t give up 💪
Thank you!! 😊 It took some patience but I'm glad I stuck with it too :)
Dixie Belle Boss is a primer you could have used before painting to eliminate bleed through. Turned out very pretty though. Love the color and the half circles on the doors. Also love your videos!
Totally, Linda! I can't wait to try more of DB products. I don't have a retailer close to me, though so in last-minute situations I just have to use whatevers in the garage or the closest hardware store. Thanks!!!
I'd love to see a home tour featuring the pieces you refinished for yourself.
I like that idea, Linda! Thanks :)
AWESOME..
Thank you, Ana! Cheers!
I swear I feel like I’m watching myself. I, too, just started furniture flipping and I’m just as impatient as you. 😂 I hope you keep this up so we can grow and learn together. Making mistakes is truly how we learn. I know I’m making them all the time.
Hey Yvette! Awesome haha. Yes! It is so so important to keep going and learn from our mistakes. Sometimes it's annoying to show my mistakes but generally people seem to be into the honesty so I'm gonna keep sharing my truth!
What part of the world are you flipping in'?!
@@KnowCanDo it’ll be neat to see your progression from a newbie to a pro. I’m in East Tennessee. I sold my first piece a couple weeks ago and severely underpriced it. I’m still learning what my market is.
Well congrats on your first sale! It’s all such a learning process 😎
Cute!
Thanks, Linda!
The struggles are real haha we have been there plenty of times. Turned out really well though. Great job Clara 😍
Absolutely. It's part of the process!!!
Curve balls am I right. You hit this one out of the park though. So cool
Ah! Thanks so much, Katrina. I appreciate your comment! I am happy with it :)
@@KnowCanDo that’s all that matters isn’t it?
By the way I love the music in your videos! I actually binged on your channel watching a playlist and was vibing to the music 🎶 🎼
Aw, thanks so much! Yeah all the music is by the artist/producer Bad Snacks. She is a really great musician and producer, and was hired by TH-cam to produce an album of copywrite free music for the TH-cam creators. I love her music and am enjoying using it! But I've pretty much run out of the songs she has available haha so I might have to switch it up... I like her vibe a lot though so I'll try to keep it in the same realm :) Thanks for watching, Marina!
The only thing you might have also wanted to do is paint the inside of the doors. you painted the inside of it (I believe) and it makes the piece look so much nicer and then the doors still have the varnish and oak when you open the doors up. Nice flip and I'm sure others have mentioned it but get to know about BIN primer - save yourself a lot of headaches. :)
I am considering doing a peel and stick wallpaper on the inside! Thanks for watching :)
There have been times when I was going to give up on a paint issue and I ended up just using black paint (oil-based) and the piece was saved. Wow, you did a lot on this project! It turned out great!
Oh my goodness! Glad you can relate, Eve! Ha, well black paint is a GREAT way to solve it and hide problems too :) Thanks for watching!
@@KnowCanDo Thanks for replying. That microwave/TV cart looks amazing in your apartment! Now it's a statement piece for your portfolio.
Thanks so much! Yeah, who cares what it used to be, it is NOW something much better! haha. Funny because I don't own either a microwave nor a TV 😂I think I'll put my cookbooks in there and who knows what else!!
Tsp will get ALL oils off, it's good for greasy laundry too
Awesome! Looking forward to trying it soon :)
💚🌿At first I was a big NO on the rusty nail color but the finished product was soooo nice! Do you love the wax brush? They are worth the price in my opinion 💚🤸♂️
Thanks, VIckie! Yeah it looked so much better after several coats! And yeah, I do love the wax brush and definitely think it's worth it! Thanks for watching :)
I love the extra detail on the cabinet drawers. Also what is that 🪴plant?? 😳 awesome transformation!
The plant reminds me of that lady who was loki and thors sisters helm. (Names...)
Thanks Emily! Yes I feel like that totally made it pop. And honestly I have no idea! I am plant-sitting about 20 plants for a friend while they are on the East Coast for a semester of school haha! I will be sad when this one is gone -- it is epic!
@@KnowCanDo google lens could probably tell you what kind it is. I kind of want one. Looks epic. You're a good friend to plant sit ❤
I’m surprised your didn’t paint the inside of the cabinet doors, but overall the color and synthetic burlap were cute touches!
I’m going to add peel and stick wallpaper
Thanks for watching! Here's another flip I think you'll love: th-cam.com/video/0SJxkEIRgV8/w-d-xo.html
Great flip. I was looking for the link to the legs you used but I think the links on this video are the links from the $100 challenge.
Waddell legs (I used 4)

Waddell Angle Top Hardware Plate (I used 4)

Waddell Straight Top Plate (If you don’t want angled legs)

Just updated! Thanks for letting me know
@@KnowCanDo Ah bless you. Thanks a million. Looking for legs like that for a job I have upcoming. Cheers.
Awesome! Hope they come quickly for ya!
It looks great. I think paintable wallpaper would give it some texture on the front as well. I tried it but I was having trouble with it staying glued down.
That's a great idea! I think I might put wallpaper on the inside of the cabinet to spice up in the inside of the doors. Thanks for watching, Nancy :)
@@KnowCanDo Maybe paint the inside of the doors to match the glued on decoration.
These were sold as microwave carts back in the mid 1980s😉when microwaves were a new thing,
Totally! So funny :)
That is a microwave cart, not a tv stand. It’s from the 1980s or 1990s. Turned out cute.
Ah! Makes sense. Well the people who sold it to me said they used it as a TV stand haha so I guess it is versatile ;) Thanks for watching!
Loving your work, your videos and your ideas. That terracotta is not my fave colour though.
Thanks so much, Sandy! Yes, I find that color is really personal! Thanks for watching:)
looks so cute!! may i ask what that amazing plant is?
for sure! apparently it is a "sansevieria mutano". I'm babysitting about 20 of my friends' plants right now -- this is one of them :)
@@KnowCanDo No wonder I love it; I have a thing for sanseveria and do not currently have this in my collection. gotta fix that! LOVE your videos.
always prime
Great motto, for sure, Kim!
@@KnowCanDo can't tell you how many times we had to start over :/
I can’t tell for sure; but the brushes you are using on the piece appear to be craft brushes. For a furniture piece using a better brush - more standard 1 1/2 “or 2” brush may have reduced your time and frustration. Turned out to be lovely. Well done.
Thanks Janet!! I was using Zibra brushes that are made for painting furniture :) I think the primer didnt dry all the way which caused a ton of issues :) Thanks for watching!
I like it, however, because of the stark difference between the rust color and white handles it's obvious you did not align them properly. You can see the difference even from a distance.
It’s slightly off but it’s more noticeable in photos than in person. Since it’s in my own home, I don’t mind
It was worth the pain.
Thanks, Phyllis :)
I had to laugh listening to you. I think you should have at least 2 pieces on the go at different stages. Then you will always have something to work on. PS. Be careful with working in bare feet if you have carpet.
Haha! Roberta that was part of my problem hahaha I was working on this AND another piece at the same time and being impatient and getting frustrated. Next time I will just take more deep breaths :)
