Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I’ll walk you through each step of the process, from cleaning and repairing to applying the stunning new finish. Plus, I’m sharing a heartwarming plan for the profits from this project. Don't miss this inspiring makeover!

    I think this makeover is top notch! This is the type of piece you'd see at West Elm, Article, Urban Outfitters and other high-end furniture boutiques. You have an excellent eye for marketable pieces. Thank you so much for supporting the food banks. The need is great and their donations are down. Bravo Katie 👏 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    I personally don’t like the new bottom. I think it’s a poor design choice to not leave adequate space between the bottom of the dresser and the floor. It is not durable, it’s going to get banged into by shoes/ boots, vacuum, cleaners, toy cars cars, and anything else within an inch of the floor. Furthermore, it doesn’t allow for easily cleaning underneath the dresser (without moving the entire dresser on those tiny little felt pegs). I need furniture that I can clean around and use without damaging it. That’s why wood furniture is supposed to actually have legs on it.

    Donating to your food bank is an awesome thing to do. I read an article that made me think about what to donate. Items I never thought about. Canned food is a given but I know meal kits are donated. What is not donated is what goes into the kits. It also lists personal items for women and babies. I'm not sure if my food pantry is equipped to store cold food and essentials. I intend to call.

    Love how this piece turned out! I also wanted to mention that often food banks have deals with food suppliers to buy food at a discounted cost, so donating the equivalent money to a food bank rather than actual food can go further, and they can get exactly what they need. That being said, obviously anything helps and I think it's really admirable that you donate the profits from the sale of this piece!
