As someone who also has been refinishing furniture for year, I thought this was one of the best beginner tutorials I have ever seen. I get a lot of calls from friends who attempt this process who get some guidance from the paint stores. And their projects are a hot mess! ❣

Katie you are such a good teacher. I’m getting up my courage to start a night stand project soon, thanks for your beginner tutorial.😊

WOW!!! These night stands turned out so beautifully! I just love them!!! ❤

I literally just finished a large dresser yesterday. It’s real wood, so I sanded it down with a palm sander 60 grit/100 grit/220 grit. Thoroughly cleaned and primed with 1-2-3. Next day (yesterday), painted black, two coats, 2hours apart. This morning it looks fantastic. I’m waiting another 24 hours before I put drawers back in.

I'd love to see your results! And what paint did you use?

Wow, they came out awesome without groundbreaking construction techniques, 37 different tools, and years of experience! 👍

I LOVE that you chose a dark color. The original pieces have visual weight and to whitewash them would look mismatched. The dark blue matches the substantial construction but elevated them. They look regal, classy and sophisticated. Well done.

Love the navy with the brass pulls, looks stylish and chic.

I never thought I would like those original pulls, but, with the new colors, they look great!

I have a cabinet that I purchased at auction which I've been planning to paint but kept putting off. After watching your video I feel more confident and ready to approach that project. Thanks for giving me a bit of oomph toward doing the job!

Wow! Talk about turning two sow’s ears into silk purses. These look very high end now that you’ve worked your magic. Another great project (and video) Katie!

You are a life saver. I live in an apartment without elevators and need to paint old heavy furniture instead of purchasing new furniture that i really can't afford. You have instilled confidence in me to tackle this project the right way. Thank you my dear!

You are helping me believe that I can stain, paint and do repairs to a few pieces in my home. You explain your process so well. Then you show us through video how you physically do the work. The end results of your refinishing is beyond what I expect. You are creative and talented. Thank you for the time you take to make these videos. The details have made me want to attempt the same.

Very nice. You made junk furniture look really good and functional.

They turn out to be beautiful !!! And the color is amazing. love this short workshop how to paint properly a piece off furniture !

Love the blue and brass together. Simple elegance.

Well, they do look so much better. It seems like you can flip almost any furniture, regardless of how poor the original finish was. Kudos!

I love Native face wash. My face is so clear and hydrated. I’m 56 and been through chemo and radiation. My skin is in good condition because I followed my doctor’s advice through treatment and conditioned and hydrated my skin and body. Native, L’Oréal Collegian and Hydra Renewal are perfect.

I sometimes watch other furniture flippers' videos, but I always come back to you. Watched every single video of yours. With you I can rely on always getting a new, unique and tasteful design and really creative ideas. It's such a treat to watch. All the best from Germany.

Thank you! Perfect video for beginners, easy to follow

Thank you Katie! Great to go over the basics from time to time!

I’m just getting started into flipping furniture, and I usually don’t comment on videos but I have to say your video has been the most helpful one I have seen yet! Iv watched probably 20 other videos so far to just drill the info into my brain and see peoples different techniques and tricks they do. Thank you so much for this video!

This was such a great tutorial and your finished product looks amazing

These look so incredibly classy after you painted them he looks so much more high-end, and certainly what you came in the door with

Thank you so much. Exactly what I needed to fix broken veneer on my mother's beautiful chest of drawers!

This helps so much! My first 2 pieces do not look very nice. So now that you've shown me what to do, I will try again. Thank you!

Your projects always turn out so beautiful 😍

Those night stands turned out sooo nice. I love the color. They have more life in them now.

As always….Looks fantastic. Great paint color, loved the more gold handles after those were brightened up with the metal paint!

Great simple straightforward instructions. End product is beautiful.

Yes you helped so much

What a great video that demonstrates well and clearly how to refinish not-too-damaged furniture. I really want to try doing this! Thank you!

Bestie. Can I give a video suggestion? I often have difficulty determining the types of surfaces to sand and how much sanding to do. For example in this video you did a very quick scuff sand and in some videos you spend 6 hours of labor sanding. How do I know how much sanding needs to be done on the various types of wood surfaces? Thanks!

Hi Katie....I've been painting furniture for many years but I watched this anyway because I just knew I would learn something I didn't know from you....and I did. Thank you so much for your wonderful ideas!

That looks amazing!!!❤❤

I'm a newbie about to start.. Thank you for this video it felt like I was standing with you🎉🎉🎉

Wow, if only those cabinets could speak! They’re so thankful for that amazing make over!

They look so much better! I love the gold of the handles against that deep bluish grey! ... I decided I was finally going to try out the Native products, which I've heard about quite often, but sadly they don't ship to Europe! Kindest regards, k

Your instructions are very clear. Sounds easy to do. Thanks Katie

Great beginner vid! I like that you don't always assume we are are all pro painters!😊

Great video, thank you! My grand daughter has my parents (her great grandparents) bedroom suite bought in the mid 1940’s. I chickened out on painting it. Now I feel more confident but will start with the piece less used just to make sure I know what I’m doing.

Hi Katie. You are very talented. I love your projects. I am inspired each time I watch. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.

Very nice tutorial! Going to try this to refresh my nightstand later :)

A very clear, well explained video on the basics of painting a piece of furniture! Great job Katie!

I have been binge watching your videos and enjoyed them all. This is in my top three favorites. You take a beginner step by step through the process, explaining how to get a great looking finish even with a limited number of supplies. I have a piece in mind very similar in material to these nightstands that I now have the confidence to tackle myself at some point in the future. Thank you for posting this how-to!

Beautiful job as always. You selection of paint brands is a good introduction for beginners as well as those of us who would like a change. Thank you!

Hi Katie - so glad I found your channel! This video will be really helpful as I get ready ready to refinish end tables for our family room. Your work is really beautiful and you’ve explained everything so well. From one Canadian to another - thanks for sharing your wisdoms!!

It looks really great. Thanks for breaking down the basics. 💝

I have been repainting furniture for years also. And learning from my mistakes (like, don't try to clear coat over dark colors, lol) but I'm glad to have watched this, as I've learned something new! And with some new projects on my horizon, I am glad to have learned them!

I just found your video! I just bought an old headboard and footboard from our local pet rescue resale store today and with your tips I am going to tackle this! I think I can do this!

As always, you do such an amazing job on some not great looking pieces of furniture! It turned out beautiful. Also, thanks for breaking it down into easy & simple steps to remake a piece of furniture.

I’ve been painting furniture for about two years and I still feel like a beginner. I always learn from your videos! 😊

You are WONDERFUL….love love love your channel….thank you for all of your tips and tricks….rookie here so learning a bucket load…..sending good vibes and hugs from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤❤❤

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing your expertise with us! The nightstands look beautiful! 😊❤

Thank you for posting this video. I feel much more comfortable tackling my first try at painting some tired furniture of ours.

Great, simple tutorial. Thank you! Just what I need to attempt a first paint project in about 15 yrs 😊

I have been waiting for this type of makeover. Perfect timing! Love your channel.

This was so helpful! And not necessarily elongated with mindless talking! Truly fortunate to have found it! Great job! Will try this next weekend.

I feel ready to start my first project! Love that you explained the steps. Knowing the “why” and not just the “how” is so helpful. And the little tips along the way were great! Thanks for sharing.

Me, too! I’m ready to go thrift some night stands and do them up in this exact color scheme!

Wow! Who knew particle board furniture could be sooo beautiful!! Thank you so much! ❤

Oh thank you for all the tips. I have been trying to flip furniture for the last year and am still learning. I just love your videos. Thanks

Hello Katie. The Behr paint seems to do the trick. Very nice smooth finish. 🥰🥰🥰

I’m so happy someone in my Facebook group recommended your videos. This tells me a lot about why I’m seeing brush and roller marks. I’m definitely looking for a perfect finish first coat. Thank you!!

Katie, This was very helpful. I have a piece of furniture I want to paint & I have been putting it off for months, so this was great info for me. Thanks!!

Excellent tutorial, grate clear advice. Thank you

You are an amazing teacher! Even with years of experience (although not full time like you), I learn so much from you. And Even if they are reminders, it is SO helpful. I’ve never tried those rollers because of the fuzz. But the trick to wash them out before is so easy- but brilliant. Whey haven’t I thought of that? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ I tried the Alkyd paint because of you and loved it. It has a little learning curve when you are used to chalk paint, but my piece came out with such a beautiful smooth finish. Haven’t put it up for sale yet, so we will see how others like it. 😊 This is one video I’ll be saving, for myself and to share with friends and family who are looking to update a piece when I don’t have time to do it for them. Katie, you are just AWESOME!

I do the same with the rollers. I'm glad you said it. They look fab and I love the colour

Well done. I agree with using alkyd paint for durability and great finishes. I've used Dulux Melamine Alkyd paint for cupboards and it's second to none!

Thank you I’m a beginner and this video gives me the information and inspiration I need. Thank you Kate

I’m about to paint a dresser black. Thank you for the tip about not putting a poly coat on after painting. You saved time, money and probably anxiety.

Wow excellent job - what an improvement!!! And to think way back pretty much all furniture was the same dark color and we lived with it that way - who knew that we could paint our own furniture and how fantastic it would look??!!

Gorgeous! I wish I had watched this before tackling my first project and buying way too much stuff I actually didn't need.

Very nice. Traditional and classy.

Gorgeous Katie!! I love your work!!

Love the finished look

Love the colour Katie

Great instructions, ready to use on my thrifted night tables. Thankyou for sharing your talent with us.

They look stunning ❤

Thank you so much🎉 ❤. These tips were so helpful. I want my furniture to look great and last. Not a hot mess. These info videos help me understand the steps , get brave and go ahead and try. Your the best

Always beautiful.
