I’m DECONSTRUCTING this TRASHED DRESSER for parts! (and making a whole new piece of furniture)

  • I recently found a nice pile of trashed furniture out at the curb but this 6 drawer dresser is completely missing a bottom drawer and a few others are totally smashed - so instead of trying to make the missing drawer into some sort of awkward, out of place, shelf situation, I thought I’d probably be better off to write this one off completely and deconstruct it for parts. I do have a loose plan to make something NEW out of the dresser top though!

    Ok this is BY FAR the most impressive and realistic faux wood finish I’ve ever seen. Fantastic job!

    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 th-cam.com/users/postUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-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.

    Are you kidding me??? Holy moly…..I didn’t hold out much hope when I saw the rubber “oak grain” maker, but THAT IS GORGEOUS! It really does look like a pretty white oak finish. Nicely done, Kate the Great! 😉👍👏🏻

  • @debsmith2269
    @debsmith2269 ปีที่แล้ว +30

    I was skeptical when you started because I've seen so many faux wood finishes and never liked them. But THIS is amazing and beautiful. First time I've seen a finish that looked so real. Nice job!

    GENIUS. I am binge watching some of your older videos on a Sunday morning and this transformation was miraculous! I love that you truly practice the philosophy of "reuse/repurpose/recyle"--that trashed dresser yielded many useful pieces, and I like that you pointed out the dollar value of each. All that material would have been wasted by scrapping it in the landfill. Fantastic job!

  • @cmitchell7347

    @deborahmatatall ปีที่แล้ว +7

    This is exceptional, Katie! With the colors, the layers, the techniques and the tools you used, you have created a gorgeous faux oak table. It looks like I would be able to feel the grain if I ran my fingers over it. It’s gorgeous and I hope you’ll show us more.🌸

    Uhg!! I have such horrible workshop-envy when I see your workspace!! So big, bright, well organized!! Room to store bits like this demolished dresser. Yup - definitely jealous! This was an interesting video: it was a great idea to reuse the bits, even if you can't reuse the whole dresser! [Edit: I shouldn't comment before I've finished watching... that wood effect surface was STUNNNNNING !!! amazing work!!!]

    This redo was amazing. I've seen several people use that woodgrain tool and it's looked horrible, but you were able to make it look so natural with the other top coats layered on top. Amazing. I too like the light oak wood finishes that are trending now. I hope I can find this video again when I move and redo the side tables in our new home. New to us, not newly built!!! Thanks so much for showing us how this is done the proper way.

    In regard to the pronunciation of the word pecan, in Texas we have a saying about it. A puh-CAHN is a delicious nut you eat and also our state tree. A PEE-can is the thing you keep in the deer stand for when you need to go and don’t want to climb down. 😂

    My mom had a 4 piece living room set, natural solid blond wood, from the early 50’s (hutch, end tables and coffee table). Honestly, your finish is a dead ringer for it. Your technique! Unbelievable. You never cease to amaze!!!!!! Thanks for sharing your talent, Katie.

    Again greetings from Quebec,,,, what I am blown away with is how far you are coming as an artist that is probably one of the best techniques I've seen yet..... And it would be interesting to see what other colors you can create with it as well..... I ended up with a freebie dresser and I can't wait to show you the pictures when it's done I took inspiration off the plum dresser that you did.... I might even give it's a shot instead....
    Videos were amazing in the beginning but you're honestly taking it to a new level
