Love the quote "......definitely better in someone's home than in the landfill!" Great job and I love the colors.

I am so glad the drawers' beautiful diagonal pattern still shows through.

I love this use of old vanities. So many around and they have fantastic potential like this! Also - thank you for the comments that brush strokes are just fine. Striving for zero brush strokes can be discouraging - and brush strokes should be expected on artistic pieces!

I love the fact you're preventing these from going into a landfill. You're so amazing and finished is better than perfect.

Ooof those drawers! Glad you did not give up. The pattern was very unique! Beautiful finish!❤

I used to have what I call "the perfectionist's mantra" taped to my computer, "Done is better than perfect". I heard something on NPR that inspired me to add "we aim for excellence rather than perfection". Together they help remind me of what's important. Great job, as usual!

Love that!

So motivating to see you never give up even when there´s trouble with the paint. Love the finished pieces!

The end result is proof that your effort was well worth the time and energy invested. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for what you said about not having to be perfect. I often forget I'm not making store bought pieces but one of a kinds to be appreciated for my artistic skill! Lovely job!

Thank you very much for always showing and discussing with us your “happy accidents” and how you fixed any issues! It’s not only helpful, but it makes me feel better knowing that you never stop learning, even when you’re a pro!

Sooo worth the extra effort in separating the pieces and all the prep. The drawers turned out gorgeous. What a soft, dreamy look these have!

It is a sad day indeed when the redoubtable K Scott is flummoxed!! You show us that to ultimately prevail we need to just keep going & keep trying different things. Well done as this was an epic project. X

These nightstands are stunning and truly works of art! Great decision to keep the directional wood grain exposed on the drawers. That along with those amazing drawer pulls added to their one-of-a-kind look! Just beautiful. 👏

It's good to see that sometimes things don't go right for other people too. The good thing about this is there is always a solution.

I really appreciate the way you find the balance between expecting impossible perfection (e.g. accepting some brush strokes ) and being prepared to wash or sand off disappointing results and having a go with another product.

"Done is better than perfect " looooooveee that so much And this transaction is fantastic!!!! Looks sooo good

I loved that you expressed respect for this piece by giving someone else time to claim it before you did. I watched another flipper butcher apart a beautiful piece similar to this with not much wrong with it and then did a horrific job of finishing it. I have no problems with people pulling apart these beautiful pieces, when they make it look better by giving it a beautiful new life. You absolutely did this piece justice with breathing new life into it. Excellent work👏

Things NEVER go as planned. Thanks as always for showing your full process…even when you have to troubleshoot.

Love seeing how you dealt with the bumps in the road . They turned out incredible 😍😍😍

Hi Katie. Girl, these 2 pieces turned out beautiful! Never give up…..and you didn’t. Well done!!👍🥰💐

Always appreciate being taken along on the authentic process of getting what you are after. Rarely is the road straight and I remember feeling so betrayed in my younger and more naive years by the DIY Network and HGTV showing me how to do something, complete it in a 1/2 hour and never show the outtakes where things went wrong. So many great flippers here on KZread that share secrets, finds, successes, failures, etc. Gives one courage. And I think your channel really is tops!

We have a fantastic and extremely talented furniture family here on YT! I’m grateful to be a part of it ❤️

You are brilliant. So enjoy how you give second life to so many pieces deserving one. We must all look for existing furniture before purchasing new one. In your case, not only Mother Nature approved, also stunningly beautiful.

Great use for a waterfall-type vanity. I know making the stain work was a hassle, but sticking to your original vision paid off in wow factor. Really nice job!

As always, your meticulous work and attention to detail yielded wonderful results. I love that you turned this fairly obsolete piece into two usable and gorgeous nightstands.

My heart sank when you painted over the beautiful and characteristic waterfall grain, so I was glad when you were able to salvage some of it on the drawers.. But like you said, better in use in someone's house than in a landfill...great job.

I am so impressed with what you did here. You have such great ideas and your pieces turn out so beautiful! You do amazing work with furniture!

You have tremendous patience Katie. But oh my your perseverance was worth it, they’re beautiful!

I am so happy you kept the original drawer pulls. So many people just automatically fill in the holes and replace them and that would’ve been so sad in this case. These turned out beautiful, as do all of your projects.

These turned out great, love that you took the time to keep the wood grain showing!

You worked hard for it and those nightstands are gorgeous! I’m so glad you let the beautiful wood on the drawers stand out. I learned a lot about staining from this video - thank you so much!

I did this with my darling Mums old dressing table, it was mirrored and an extremely large piece of furniture. I was a bit nervous at first but watched one of your other videos a couple of times with my husband and we manage to separate the dressing table without any issues. Lovely part is that we have kept some of the dressing table and have such lovely memories in our home. Thanks for this great idea my sisters really love this idea and especially that we kept a part of our mums history 💗💗

You did a beautiful remake on those!. I admire your tenacity. Well worth the work!

So worth persevering with the drawers, the end result was gorgeous.

BEAUTIFUL! I have a piece like this that has not sold like forever. I might just convert them into nightstands. Thanks for what you do, it's very helpful!

Thanks for sharing how you trouble shoot these problems. Never a dull moment. These end tables are Lovely!

I really appreciate your perseverance on that stain challenge with the drawers! Good job!

Love your perseverance in figuring out the drawer fronts. Beautiful job once again.

I know those were a lot of work but you did a fantastic job. You are so gifted at this and very inspiring to everyone else.

Thanks for sticking it out! Beautiful.

Now they really look like a beautiful set of Art Deco nightstands. Really pretty, Katie!

They came out really nice! Those drawer pulls are amazing…glad you kept them.

Love this look and so glad you decided to see it through!

Thanks for showing us to persevere when it doesn't work as planned. These are wonderful love the drawers & hardware😘

While working on various stages of a few projects today, I was met with a feeling that I was not able to achieve the quality I wanted in my pieces. Nothing was working out right. I was ready to give up and say, I am not cut out to do furniture makeovers. Then, I watched this video and the words of encouragement you offered were just what I needed to hear. Thank you Thank you!

Gorgeous. Wow, that was hard! Loved watching this back-to-back with the earlier one just like this one. So much has changed in your process!

Your awesome, I really enjoy watching how you update those beautiful, older pieces into something new and fresh !

Nice job! I love that you show the process including the fails and struggles.

I love how these turned out, Katie. They are soft and romantic. I especially love the look of the drawers and the handles. Perfect for a dreamy bedroom. Beautifully done.🌸

love it! Love the piece but even more I loved what you had to say about hand painted pieces, thank you - so good! Perfectly-imperfect ♥️

Seriously Katie, you definitely persevered and succeeded and it goes to show you how things don’t always go according to plan. That said, it looks awesome.

Catching up on my K. Scott videos, what a transformation I love this flip!

I need to do a big Kacha binge too! I think I’m about 3 videos behind 😬 Maybe I’ll spend Sunday in bed catching up 😘

I love that you shared your challenges with the white wash. Sometimes a little experimentation is needed! Glad you found the right solution. I wasn’t sure about it, but when I saw the drawers and painted frames all together, it really worked well and looked great! In the right home they will be perfect. And those narrow nightstands will be awesome for a smaller space. It’s tough to find narrow tables like that.

Thank you SO MUCH for showing us your trial and error process. Your work is inspiring!

Wow, those are just gorgeous!!! I wish I lived closer so I could purchase. Your hard work and care is obvious. Love them!!!

Wow, those pulls are something else, love them.

You do such beautiful work. Wow! Can’t stop watching your videos.

Love the natural wood drawer color combo with the oyster gray paint ❤

Oh MY! Loved them! Always appreciate you sharing your struggles. Confirms you are human, and not the super hero peerless furniture flipping wizard we know you to be. 😉

I love this paint and stain look.🤍♡🤍

Firstly what a gorgeous piece of furniture, and secondly you really did it justice even though that paint effect gave you 'a run for your money ' ,Thank-you for showing all these stages even though it was tricky for you. X

Night stands are my absolute favorite and you are the master!

OMG! Those drawers are gorgeous! It almost looks like marble... and with the pulls, I'm drooling! Hah! Your perseverance definitely paid off 👏

You had to go thru a lot to get the look you wanted but it was worth it! They are so very pretty. I appreciate that you take us on your journey of the good and bad. Not everything works out the first time. Saved from the landfill and a beautiful addition to someone’s home. Thanks so much. Take care, stay safe.

They turned out beautiful!

They turned out so beautiful. I see them used in many different ways. Thanks for showing the whole process and how you worked through the fails. You were rewarded with knowledge, shared it and a teachable moment of persistence and the payoff. Love all of this.

Glad you stuck to your original plan. They are lovely!

Stunning job on this makeover!!! I love how you kept and enhanced the grain on this piece and recycled the hardware. There is a drill attachment that you can buy that let's you use your drill at a 90 degree angle to your screw. It is not expensive and is really useful in hard to get into places. I have used ours multiple times. You can also use a dremel (not small craft size) with a metal blade that will cut in hard to get at areas. It is oscillating instead of rotary so leaves small cut lines. I have owned mine for years and it is invaluable.

Oh I just love the combination of the paint and stain wood drawers,,,,I thinks I want to try this on a end table I have

Again, another beautiful job!

Oh my Katie, love these end tables,,,good job.,!! ❤️

So glad you didn't tap out; these turned out so gorgeous!!!

Those are stunning! Just perfect. Your vision and hard work paid off!

I have always loved the imperfections and quirks of handmade items.

You never cease to amaze me. Absolutely beautiful!!

Those are beautiful. Just perfect color choice and wash on that veneer. A fresh look on a classic. Just beautiful!

I love the stain you ended up with. 3rd product was the charm.

I’m so glad you share your struggles with us. It helps us all learn. Wonderful piece in the end 😜

I love this combination! This is So nice it reminds me of the Great Gatsby era ❤ The hard work was worth it. So classy 💅

All of your hard work paid off. They look beautiful!

Wow. Absolutely gorgeous. What a very high end look. You are amazing.

Katie, I love, love, love how this vision of yours came out!

They turned out gorgeous!!! Excellent work!!! ❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕

My parents gave me this vanity for a handme down as a teen, it was awesome. Your restoration was really beautiful 😍

Linda here....Good Job! So very beautiful so very cool! You sure have 2 nice pieces there to be proud of! I really enjoyed this video and your determination was inspiring too.

These turned out incredible Katie!

I was not sure if I would like the wood grain on the drawers, but I do! They look great!

Love the finished look of those drawers. I think legs would have been a great addition too. Great job, as always.

Thanks for this tutorial. I did the same project last summer. I remember the center bridge portion was real work to separate and then filling the deep grooves they left. My daughter had a small spot for an end table and this worked perfect. So glad to repurpose an old piece.

This one of my favorite flips you have done. Love the color, and style. You're the best with a brush. Hello from way south of you in Murfreesboro Tennessee.

Love the wash to keep the beautiful wood design!😍

It turned out very nicely even though the drawers gave you a hard time. Well done.

Those drawers gave you a fight! 😱 Worth it though. It turned out beautiful!

Gorgeous!!! Also, a huge thank you for showing all the problem solving. Great info and inspo for an amateur like me.

Those really turned out well. They remind me of a summer Suit. Just lovely. Cathleen

They turned out beautiful Katie! Of course, all of your saves turn out fabulous 😊

They turned out beautifully! A story of perseverance, 😍

Hi Katie, they turned out beautiful but man they were stubborn to work with, this is where your knowledge and experience shines through....Take care...stay safe...

How chic! These pieces will go well with many different styles. I like them!

Good for your persistence and creativity Katie. They're pretty!

Quite lovely despite the trouble! Love the drawer pulls!

Those are so pretty!! Awesome job thank you for sticking with it ❤️. I love that you give us work arounds. Your are amazing
