Shame on anybody that "yells" at you for showing us real life stuff. Sometimes we all loose things and I admire how you make it happen with what you have & show us how to do it. It is honestly very comforting and I LOVE it!! Thank you again Crys'Dawna for another fun and informative video!!! :)

I laughed at your comment, "It's ghetto, but it works." The free-hand technique to drill pocket screws was a nice touch. It's amazing what a fresh coat of paint and a little "ghetto" can do. Great tutorial!

Oh snap You look super cute in your bright shirt and low light! 💕 Ohh… I’m here for it. I love how you bring your vision to life. The wood and blue look gorgeous together!💕

It is hard to believe that it is the same dresser from the beginning. Fantastic job and thank you for showing us every step you took especially the ... shall we say imperfect yet honest ones.

Hello! The hair. Sorry if I missed you addressing it earlier, I’m a few videos behind. You are gorgeous, blonde, pink or a rainbow. 🌈 You excel at teaching and I appreciate the from scratch legs. The piece is beautiful and the oak made a huge difference. The tape on the bit is genius! Anyone who makes it work by thinking out of the box is obviously brilliant. I know woodworkers often use it to control the depth. I need one of those kreg bits. I have the jig but slept on the bit. I’m copying the drawer pulls, ok? 😁 I love copper plumbing pieces and those make me happy. Thanks so much for the detailed tutorial, even if you are familiar with most of it there is always something you can pick up and you are a joy to watch/listen too. 👏👏💕

CrysDawna my darling! I love this piece so much! You were speaking to me on this one when you explained the pitfalls of repurposing furniture. Essentially thats what I’ve been doing for a year now and all I do is rethink and reconnoiter. The struggle is truly real, yet I never get too discouraged because I figure I learned something from it. I also just figured out that trick with cutting the mitre after cutting long and s resign it up anyway. The project are finally nearing completing and ready to be painted. What? Yes still haven’t started painting . winding down and just in the nick of time you made these genius drawer pulls! Omg I’m making four enormous drawers to store fabric on a my cutting table formerly known as a clothing display table from Nordstrom Rack. The drawer fronts are a solid wood bi fold door I scavenged on the side if the road. They doors hence the drawers are super heavy so I thought I needed long metal pulls. Those cost a ton, even on Amazon. I absolutely love the pale blue and light wood together btw.I haven’t picked a paint color yet and that could work. No matter what I’ll definitely give you full credit when people are amazed by how cool my drawer pulls are. Getting the supplies tomorrow. Thanks so much.
