That was an amazing transformation. Love the dremel saw trick. I’m so happy to see you cover the drawer glides to protect from paint. It came out great for a cheap piece of furniture.

@mvtonnemacher Жыл бұрын

The dremel idea was so good! Love that you acknowledged it wouldn't work in every situation but used your instincts to make a smart judgement call!

@susan3037 Жыл бұрын

“Furniture with a soul.” Never heard a more apt description of what you do! Beautiful work!

@anaisabelperez7356 Жыл бұрын

Adding the wood strips on the drawers gives character and dimension to the piece. The color contract between the barewood and the drawers below you've picked up is perfect. Brilliant as usual!

Katie; I love it when you use your sprayer! Never any overspray and smooth finish. I am a total spaz with a sprayer, so I really appreciate your level of expertise with spraying. Thanks for sharing your artistry with us and please keep saving these pieces of history. ♥♥♥!

I always appreciate you do all the mechanical repairs before prepping and painting. Having been inpatient, I have moved to refinishing before all repairs are completed. It ALWAYS bites me in the butt when I mar my new finish. You are a pro!

Wow! I’ve got to admit, when you started adding the lattice on the bottom three drawers, I was like 😱, then when you painted the dark blue, I liked the color, but plot twist, that top drawer wasn’t working in that paint wash, and so I was not down for the lattice and unsure of the natural finish. Then I saw the knobs and thought, hmm, not what I would have picked, and then you put it all together and it was GORGEOUS!! I love it! And just confirms for me why I’m not a conceptual person and have to see something all finished. I love this one! 🤩 Brava!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
