    You took this table from something most people wouldn't look twice at to a glowing, beautiful wood piece. Much as I enjoy your painted projects, I especially like it when you are able to work your magic with natural wood. Beautiful job as always!

    I love it when you mention safety during your videos. It's so important. I also appreciate the artistic flare you bring to your channel. Thanks!

      Same, I also appreciate the safety chats. I'm so afraid to use oil based products for the reason Katie mentioned.

    It never ceases to amaze me that you can take what looks like a cheap hand me down, first apartment after college piece and turn it into what looks like a family heirloom. Your skill is in doing good prep work, choosing the right products, choosing the right color, and picking just the right hardware for it to come together perfectly!! If any of those are off it's good but not great. You my dear have mastered the great!! ❤

    Removing the panels on the front brought it to NEXT level! Nice work.

    So pleased you took those panels off. The whole thing looks lovely.

      @Dingle1234 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I liked the panels and how they encircled the hardware. Although that did take away the MCM look.

    @DigsRetro 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

    What a difference removing those drawer panels made!
    I didn't even see it as mid century until it was complete. It went from dated to modern. ❤

    I'm awe how you blended the tones on the top! And the bonding of the chips! Wow game changer for me. Also I love the handle for the spray can, another game changer! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! It came out great!

  • @ElaineWood-f2t
    @ElaineWood-f2t 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    This transformation is spectacular!! I loved how you "got your Bob Ross on" and color matched the repairs. The colors blended perfectly! The new pulls were just the right amount of "jewelry" to dress up this little table and make it shine! ❤❤❤

  • @rachelleknighton7399
    @rachelleknighton7399 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I am always amazed at how you transform a piece that could so easily end up in the landfill to something beautiful. I have learned so much from you. I am 69 years old and have been redoing furniture for 3 years. I absolutely love it, and I owe it all to you. You made me realize that I could do it. Thank you for all you do. ❤️

  • @beverlyness7954
    @beverlyness7954 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    This piece looks great! I could use a small bedside table like that - of course I live in Oregon, way too far away - but still what a great piece. I liked it before you took off the front decorative pieces, but this is even better and the wood color is so much nicer. Good Job!

    The grain in this project was so cool. I was glad there wasn't a reason to paint. I love your painted pieces, too, but this one was super interesting after the sanding.

  • @vickiblizzard1001
    @vickiblizzard1001 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

  • @moneymakingmikeg.9555
    @moneymakingmikeg.9555 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Boom Shacka Lacka Katie!!! Thank you for doing this!!! A smaller project like this could potentially inspire someone to get cracking at doing this & you can practice like you stated. It came out super clean & modern. Once I saw it I was like Man... I hope she pops those panels off & you did!! Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!

  • @AuntieBrennie
    @AuntieBrennie 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Thank you for rescuing this piece! It looks amazing! Thank you for mentioning the safety issues with oily rags and combustion. Years ago, I saw a video where a homeowner had stained their deck and tossed the oily rags under it. The whole deck and part of the house… instantly torched. No one was hurt… so scary!

  • @patriciadesserud9402

    @alliekingsley7919 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I loved the little framing design on the front if it was for me, but I'm a grandmacore/cottagecore girlie and know that's not to everyone's taste. You made it look like they were never there, and thus made it more appealing to the majority of folks. Excellent work as always, and I love to see the resin paints being used to disguise flaws when most people would have just painted the whole thing and hidden all that lovely wood!

    @megenberg8 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    after a lengthy period in America living w/ the ubiquitous dark stains - it has been wonderful these last few decades to be seeing more and more painted and lightly washed pieces! this is one nice job you did here w/ the small table for that particular individual who yet must have that dark wood in that (or it isn't 'real' furniture) traditional look! nicely done!

  • @katherineharper-sj4ys
    @katherineharper-sj4ys 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Katie, the wood grain on this piece is phenomenal. And your “Bob Ross” hid the damage nicely. Your color work is amazing and matched the elm with the walnut perfectly. Always look forward to seeing your videos.

  • @lauris5708
