Happy Easter Kathryn may you have a blessed Holy Week. ✝️
Question, is that bottom piece original to the table? It seems like a different color. Isnt 4 months equivalent to 30 percent? Just wondering. I love the end result! Also thank you so much for not smacking your camera with your hands for a transition. Love your channel
OMG Kathryn you are wearing the cutest dress to Home Depot. You look like you're going to brunch. Thanks for brightening my day with your video. YOU ARE ALWAYS ENOUGH!
Happy Easter Kathryn! God bless you abundantly The table looks amazing 🤩
That table really came out beautifully. You did such a great job. I'm looking for a table about that size for my entry way. I've been debating though because I have a cat, so I would have to be careful what I would display on it.....Love all your idea's Kathryn. ❤❤
I used to clean my back deck with bleach. I realized many, many years ago, when I was pouring SHOCK into my pool , I spilled some on the decking. I watched it soak into the wood, which was cedar, and was absolutely amazed at what it looked like. The spill was maybe half dollar sized and the wood was sparkling clean and GORGEOUS! Well, pool shock is basically bleach. Now, I had no intention of using pool shock at $17.00 a gallon. So I bought some store brand ( Dollar Tree ) bleach, a couple of cheap paintbrushes and proceeded to clean my decking. I always used deck cleaner, which is also very expensive, to clean my deck. I also stained some of my decking with a mahogany stain. That was used for the seating area. No more. I was convinced that this was going to work! I was also convinced by an area the size of a half dollar, that this was going to be beautiful. Well, my husband was shocked when he came home that evening. He wanted to know who had replaced the decks and how much it cost. I told him that I did it, by myself, and the cost was about $18. My sitting area was 16’ x 24’. A separate deck ran around the pool and was about 5’ wide. The pool was about 15’ x 30’. Oh it was a LOT of work. The good news is, when I got REALLY hot and sweaty, I could dip in the pool. The bad news was I didn’t want to get out🤣 Well, the decks came out gorgeous, no professional needed, and not a lot of money. My husband was in shock. I kinda was too. It really looked like I had it professionally done. All with bleach. 🤣🤣🤣
Did you pour on your bleach, or did you paint it on?
@@dnsgilbert09 she didn't reply but she did mention that she bought some paintbrushes so I'm thinking that's what she did
Perfect … accident 👍
Thank you. In going to try. Did you dilute it with water? Or just straight bleach
Be careful with bleach. It is caustic and too much and too frequent use can corrode or damage wood, metal and concrete and compromise their integrity.
Love how this came out! So pretty! Bleach is awesome to use in this manner. It really brings out the beauty of the wood.
Just a safety moment, in case people aren't aware.( it's the nurse in me) Bleach can react dangerously with other chemicals, mainly ammonia. Also, please wear safety glasses, bleach can damage eyes if accidentally splashed in them (rinse eyes immediately with running cold water & seek medical care).
Thanks for another great video!
Can cause allergies and sensitivity too. I hate the smell of bleach, gives me a headache and I develop a contact allergy when it touches my skin plus irritates my throat.
Yep.... that was a bit worrying to watch. Wear protection.
Yes, bleach and vinegar (she mentioned some use vinegar in the water to wash off the bleach) creates chlorine gas much like it does with ammonia, which can be lethal if inhaled in high amounts.
The table turned out so much more beautiful free of that yellowed varnish. I need that square sander! 🤣 You have inspired me to give this technique a try. I think it would turn my old nightstand (and drop leaf table, and bookcase etc) from drab to fab.
Bleach likes to evaporate quite quickly (especially in the sun). An easy way to extend this is to add some dish soap (like Dawn). This keeps it "wet" longer and allows it to dwell so you don't need to keep reapplying. Though, if it were me, I would have used a wood brightener (oxalic acid) so the wood's ph wasn't shifted so heavily like it is with bleach. Using bleach shifts it so heavily that any stain or clear coat will fail much sooner.
I love re-purposing furniture! Buying a hand sander was a game changer!! This turned out beautiful. I have never tried this technique, but now I need to.
Hello Susan
I need that sander in my life! This girl loves power tools! 😉 The table looks so amazing Kathryn! I'm definitely motivated to try this type of my project myself! 🌺
It's a bad ass sander... I've had one for years!!! go get one!! ❤
@@martinemikita9281 That's great to hear! 😀I'm definitely getting one! Can't wait to start sanding things! 🤩
@@michelleandino7309 Some people get bored of sanding... I AM ADDICTED to it. It's awesome!! U look young in ur thumbnail... which is awesome bc the younger u start the better at the craft u will be!!!
@Creative Renewal NOT a good brand to you... I've had mine for abt 10 years... its phenomenal and I resell furniture. It's my favorite one.
@Creative Renewal Yeah Girl I love that sander!!! I use it all day everyday. Yaye ur a reseller too!!! It's so much fun... I slow down in the summer tho bc UNFORTUNATELY we are in Arizona (1 year left, military family) and in the summer we reach Temps of 123 and I simply can't tolerate the heat. It sucks.
Yes! I LOVE to see vacuum lines appear in the carpet!! Ha, ha! Love sanding, too ♥️
I totally LOVE this thrift furniture makeover! Thanks, Catherine!
I love ur channel. I just wish your videos were longer so we could enjoy u even more! Since the videos are posted just once a week. Ur inspiration and hacks and tips are always so fantastic! Thanks for sharing your creativity!
That looks gorgeous! I don‘t like the „shabby-chic“ look ( chipped paint 😂), but this is definitely a winner
Great project! It's a good idea to wear a mask when sanding too
I'm pretty intimidated by furniture repair/altering in general, but I'm definitely interested in the how-to. This was super fun to see and I appreciate all the advice and info about the steps needed to be taken, start to finish. Love it. I like the color so much better once you bleached it. It brightened up the piece beautifully! Yay!
I'm on aeebb
❤
I absolutely adore you! I’m so happy that you’re working with Skillshare We love companies that work with you.
You always make me feel better , especially if I've had a really bad day! Thank you for your positivity and your affirmation at the end of every video. Have a wonderful day, and God bless you!
I absolutely love your videos. You are so amazingly helpful and such a pleasure to watch. I can't wait to try this on my old oak book shelf. Thank you thank you. 😊 💕
Your table looks amazing...you & your husband did a wonderful job! As always Kathryn, thank you so much for sharing all of your hard work & tips! Stay safe, healthy and positive! God bless you and your family!🙏❤🇺🇸😊
I love all your videos!! but your hair is always so beautiful!! I would love a quick hair tutorial ❤️❤️ I love your curls in the intro!!!
I would love this little cabinet! You did a gorgeous job! Thank you!
I love this project! I'm so glad I found your channel. You inspire me to try new things. You are a bright spot in my day. Thanks! 💚
What a cool technique🥰! The side table looks gorgeous 💕! I have a coffee table to redo. Now I know what I want to do 😁! Thank you for sharing 🤗💕!
Fantastic makeover Kathryn! This is one of my favorites!
So glad to see you wearing a dust mask while sanding! Safety first!
With no dust extraction... 2/10 dust collection rating. Nothing quite like wearing bleached wood dust for the day...
How about wearing gloves when handling chemicals like bleach? Or long pants for leg protection? I'll give a 3/10 for putting gloves on @ some point but points were taken for the short dress.
I have an all wood island and I'm going to sand it and paint it. Your video makes me more confident about starting on it. Thanks for sharing. Take care. ❤️
You can do it!
Kathryn, you and Charlie did a fantastic job. Your videos are always on point💕
I am brand new to your channel but am so drawn to your sweet and uplifting spirit ! Thank you for being a light in the dark for people who need it. I'm off to check out some of your other videos.
Beautiful!💕 What a great technique. Thanks Kathryn! 😊
Wow! That looks great and easy. I love your cheerful attitude and presentation. 🤩
A couple of weekends ago my daughter need a night stand. I had one but wrong color so we sand it and cleaned it and painted it. It was a very sturdy wood piece and I prefer older wood furniture too.
Thank you for sharing tips, and being so encouraging.
God Bless
What a transformation and it's a straightforward process - love it!
This table looks awesome
Kathryn, you have inspired me, I think I'll have to get a square sander now. You've done an amazing job on the console table, I couldn't believe that the bleach was able to lift the colour of the table.
Wishing you and your family and Do it on a Dime family a very happy Easter xx
I absolutely LOVED that ! Great job !
Great result! Good job! Glad to see you wear a respirator for the sanding. You need a real respirator for the bleach application. Your health is so precious, protect it to the fullest. Thanks again.
This little table turned out beautiful 🥰. Thank you for sharing.
You need a dremmel! I have a good one that has a few speeds. So versatile! I use it to get in grooves of furniture, grind metal bits off of some of my projects, and to grind down my pupper’s hard nails. (It was cheaper that a good nail grinder too!)
That's one to look into! Thanks for the tip!
Can you recommend an affordable model or something similar for a beginner that is user friendly?
I have that exact sander, and I love it, but I really recommend you start with an 80-grit sandpaper (then 120, then 220) to cut your sanding time down.
Beautiful! I have things in my home that would like great sanded and bleached. We were thinking about buying new pieces just to bring our decor up to date! No need now just a little elbow grease! Thanks so much for all you do!!!!
You are so creative! Love this! ☺️ Have a great day y'all.
This is so clever! Thank you 😊
It look’s great! Who knew bleach would work so beautifully. Great job.! I love your bubbliness. I’ll bet you can lift anybody’s spirit, your such a joy to watch. Ty.❤️❤️
Wow Katherine, that piece really looks great! It looks so updated. You inspire me.
LOVE this idea! Thank you for just being you! 🥰
Oh my goodness! This turned out beautiful!
That turned out gorgeous!! I have a gorgeous oak sofa table I have handed down to my two daughters 20 & 21 they are living together through college and this would be an awesome fun project for us this coming summer!! They would love the look and transformation it will make! They have it behind a big section of their big L shape sofa that is dark grey, I’m just excited now I think it will look amazing! Thank you so very much for this video! Your personality and encouraging words really brighten my day! ☮️💟
Wow! Loved how it turned out. Thank you for sharing this idea!
That table is just beautiful. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you come up with. You are just so creative and as cute as can be! I just love watching your videos and seeing your beautiful family.

Your table turned out beautiful!! What a cool look!! ❤️☺️✌️
Another reason I like this style sander is I have small hands & feel like I have better control of it. 😊
It is definitely easier to control than some others I've tried!
Very Beautiful!! And I love how natural looking it is! Super great Job!
Amazing results! Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Thanks for the tips on redoing furniture. I was trying to find how to do it.
Turned out gorgeous! Thank you for the tips!
Thank you for the encouragement over the sander. I really want to be good at DIY and the encouragement is so helpful. Maybe you could recommend a nail gun??
Such an easy process and the table looks awesome!!
Wow! Beautiful result! Thanks for sharing.
That table looks so beautiful with your transformation! I have a credenza I’d love to do this to. Thanks!
I love how this turned out.
I’m so glad I found you! I have my mom’s small kitchen hutch, think I’ll try this technique, thank you!!
Wow, what a transformation! Great job!
That transformation was amazing. I may try that someday.
I've seen this done so many times. It's such a great trick.
I love how it came out. Great video!
That's so cool! I didn't know you could bleach wood! I'm excited to give this a try too :) Thanks so much for sharing!
Beautiful. Thank you for showing us how to transform wood furniture. I don't feel intimidated any longer by the process. thanks to you!!!!
It's Beautiful after you were finished with it. Thank you for sharing. I'll be doing this!!
I love your videos. They are so uplifting. Cool job on the table.
I just love your energy, your my kind of a girl, I could have a ball just thrift shopping & doing projects with you.Keep sending your great jobs to help us that want to figure it out,Great Job
I love refinishing furniture...Thanks for the tip about the sander, the bleach and the polycrylic...wish I had your suggestions a few months ago when I refinished a bookcase. I did all the sanding by hand...whew! AND...my piece did turn out redder than I wanted, but it still looks nice.
My mom taught me how to bleach furniture when I was a teenager. Confession, I'm in my mid-sixties now. I find repurposing furniture so satisfying.
can you do the bleaching first & then sand?
Looks beautiful!!
I love this !!I will have to do this. Thank you for the inspiration! ❤❤❤
I love all of your projects! Thank you for inspiring me
Happy Wednesday!
That came out gorgeous.
Great transformation! Thanks for the tips on sanders!
The table is gorgeous. Great job❤
Absolutely beautiful! You are enough! You are so inspiring. Thank you!
Thank you for this! I literally just started researching how to do this to an older side table.
Stunning and simple 💕 😍 Thank you kindly
I love this so much. I have two solid wood end tables I want to try this on. Thank you so much for all of your positive vibes you radiate!
You can do it!
Hello Connie
Thanks for this. I was considering buying a sander, now I know what to buy!
Turned out BEAUTIFUL!
I love this because my daughter has a table that my Mom gave her and she doesn't think she wants it anymore. I wasn't sure what I was going to do to it but I knew it is a handmade piece and I was taking with me when we move cross country this year . Now I know! Thank you for another great idea , you are full of them 😀 .
Love & prayers 🙏🏻 ❤
Love that you can transform the piece and give it new life!
I just love your energy, thank you for always remaining so positive and upbeat! And thank you for today's post, ohmigosh, I can't wait to try this on a very nice old dresser we have that is much too yellow and shiny for my liking, thank you, Kathryn!!
You can do it! Transform that dresser!
So happy you did this. It’s next on my list to try
Outstanding! I loved this, great video, great project, beautiful results, very impressed! And it was cool you and Charlie worked on this together ❤️
I love your happy spirit!! Beautiful table!! GOD bless you and yours .
The table looks fantastic!
Awesome ideas!! Turned out very nice!! 💚
So cool. 😎. All my furniture needs new life !! I’m going to show this to my hubby.
I like it! The bleaching definitely modernizes the look. Great job!
