What a great idea!

Andersonville, Tennessee here! Got here late, but I am loving watching you do these nightstands. I recently recycled a couple of doors similar to these. I gave them a whitewashed-antiqued finish, stuck two vintage, crystal door knobs in the center, and my friend is using them to hang jackets on as you come in her back door!

Great job !! However, you won me over with your compassion for others. When you encouraged viewers to be mindful of why some pieces may be quite dirty at the bottom ;) WAY TO GO LADY !

❤️ THANK GOODNESS ❤️ I am so SUPER happy TO FINALLY hear kind words about dirty furniture! I have an enclosed patio, a garage, a basement, an attic & a storage unit...ALL of them have some furniture in them! ALL of them need cleaning to different degrees! I have stopped viewing some furniture flippers because of the horrible things they say about former owners of furniture that they flip! The people must feel horrible regarding the comments about the filth & conditions of these things if they watch... You're a sweetheart! I ❤️ viewing your videos! Beautiful transformation today!

I liked the doors. The color isn’t nice, but the design was one of a kind. Removing the long edges from top, and the big base- and keeping the doors would have made it “modern” but give it a nice retro feel.

I have stopped watching many others bc of their snarky & cruel comments. How do they know the former owner's aren't watching?

Love the wallpaper on the back

I love the idea of taking the doors off. I have two nigh stands to flip that are very similar but not identical because of the doors. They are also too heavy so taking the fronts off will help. Wonderful video!

I really appreciate your understanding and reminders about people’s different circumstances and why they might not be able to care for their possessions as well as others, or as well as they used to, etc. It’s so easy for people to feel shame about their homes or their things, or just feel bad about their abilities changing. It’s so important to remember that there are always reasons why people do or don’t do certain things as expected, and remembering this can help everyone be more compassionate. I love the changes you made to these cabinets, even though I also like those doors for *something*, but not exactly sure what! :)

If you turned the doors to the back they could be painted and used as a canvas. Or put all 4 together and make a upcycled box, planter, plant stand, or a super creative birdhouse or 60’s bird condos. You could put some decals on it and it would make a cute farmhouse sign. Add a base or hairpin legs and it would make a cute set of side tables. You could add various sizes of feet to each door and get a set of risers for food and decor display. I know you can make something beautiful useful and inspire and amaze us all. 🥰

They came out great. I want to get a sprayer to use on the furniture I flip. I was wondering what sprayer you use and what size air compressor you use? Thanks

Looks like the doors are teak. I could be wrong. Make an umbrella/cane box from the doors. A decorative design on a bed head board might work as well. Don't throw the door knobs away. Make towel, purse, coat, hat hangers etc. out of them. Never throw hinges like that away. They can be used on gates, hope chests and anything that opens and closes. Bottom line... they don't make things like they used to and the things they make today don't work or break. Have a question. What king of air compressor do you use and how big is the tank? Also notice your staple/brad nail gun is hooked up to the compressor as well. First time I have ever seen the type of gun you are using. Where can I get one? Project looked great in the end. Continued success.

Hi Kim, and welcome to our adventure! My go to affordable paint is Home Depot’s chalk paint that they mix in store for you. The color options are endless and the price is much more affordable than the “boutique” brands. It goes on well with a brush and sprays nicely as well (you do have to add a little water and thin it down for it to spray properly). If you want a fancier boutique paint I have tried a number of them and my favorites would probably be Dixie Belle and Fusion.

Those long type of hinges are called piano hinges, and they can come in handy somewhere

Our very humid climate and frequent rain means we really don’t have to water our grass…we just cut it and try to keep the fire ants out!

Could you have taken the doors and attached them to each other so they were 4 sides and added a piece of scrap wood for a top and used it as a plant stand? or a little outdoor patio side table? You could have painted it white or maybe painted it white and painted or decoupaged the inside of the center design where the knobs were a different color. If you didn’t like the design side you could have put the smooth side of the doors on the outside if you liked that more.

First, a question, does anyone know what to call the original "style" of these pieces? Because bulky, heavy, ornamental dark wood, late 70's into 80's, anti-mid century modern is a mouthful. Second, I saw another KZread flipper remove the raised pieces on a dresser similar to this and they were just added trim...boom problem solved. Finally, I would keep the hinges, you never know, and besides, you should be able to cut them down into bite-sized pieces.

i miss the doors

Ok you had me, a beautiful piece until I saw the other holes that were from the old hardware. Here are a few suggestions.1) You had the money, $30, to find something that matched. 2) You could have painted the whole piece. 3) you could have painted something decorative over the old holes such s simple box or a fleur-de-lis , add a stripe there are 100's of ways to disguise the holes. But leaving them is not the answer. best wishes.

The hardware was changed and the holes repaired long before I ever got it. So unfortunately there was no way to buy hardware that would match up with all the different holes in the drawers.
