- I live in a house full of boys so whenever I get the opportunity to paint with pink, I go ALL IN!!! This antique desk fought me through the restyling process but now its a super sassy little piece of art. It’s painted in a fun pop of summer pink with Behr’s Chalk Decorative Paint in “Pink Mimosa”!

All the detail make this piece so special
That is so RETRO! Love. The soft pink and gold hardware make one think of Retro Palm Springs.
Totally!
You never gave up in spite of the difficulty, that's a inspiration to me when I m working with a tough piece, thanks for sharing the imperfections and the beautiful results
Thanks Katie for not editing out the issues you encountered and showing how you dealt with them. Subscribed.🙂
I agree. that is one reason I love your channel.
I absolutely love the pink desk. And you're right, there's beauty in things that are old and imperfect...hmm, like people.😉🤗
I'd say a BUNCH more years! You do such quality work, besides how lovely your designs are. I'm really loving your channel & ALMOST believing that maybe I can follow in your foot steps. Thank you so much for posting. And, btw, I saw some criticisms in another of your flips where people mourned your filling in some grooves on some drawers of a 1950's dresser. They're nuts, IMHO. Lol. I love the way you repurpose, update, & redesign to bring older pieces into this new century. Your sleek, clean lines and sensibility for what's current is spot on. Oh, and the paintable, textured wallpaper you used on those drawers also was very cool! OK, one more thing. I did NOT understand why people use chalk paint instead of latex until I started watching your channel. They probably both have their place, but I can't wait to try some chalk paint. I love the look of it.
Cute makeover! The music is matching very well
Such a beautiful desk ... great job!
Such a pretty colour x
Good job! You inspire me to try something! I’ll keep watching! 👍
Hello. I am constantly doing these things, if you look at my channel, I share educational videos, thanks.
Love the color and it turned out so pretty. Thanks for showing how things can go wrong and finding solutions to those issues. 💙 your channel
Yay! Beautuful. ❣
Always so happy when you post a new vid 😀
Thank you for sharing your passion for giving furniture another chance to be loved. PS I "liked" the video and am a new subscriber. Once again, thank you for sharing/
Awesome! Thank you 😊
Beautiful Katie! Great video too :-)
I painted a massive canvas once it was beautiful I'd spent hours dripping paint perfectly down it , it's was huge and ready to go above our fire place , my husband even liked it , 👀 just so you no how nice it was 😂,, anyways fast forward a day later after drying.....
All my paint drips had come away and curled up back ground bubbled,, I could of cried 😑
Like you also because of the stupid finish on the canvas before I painted and humidity. I chucked it out down my drive in temper 😂 x
Awe, boo! Silly weather.
Do you have to prime wood if you are doing a dark color of chalk paint?
It’s still a good idea. Wood tannins can definitely still bleed up through darker colours and you may notice repaired areas are highlighted without a primer to camouflage the texture difference.
The little desk put up a fight, but you were victorious and made it beautiful. Now it has a new lease on life. Love it, it is so cute 😍
"It's not perfect. It's never going to be perfect." I love this - this is why I rehab furniture. Thank you for the reminder - and I SO appreciate you showing when the project doesn't quite work out. That was strangely affirming since none of my projects ever goes according to plan.
Such a beautiful color. I don’t bring much pink into my world, but this color leaves me hungry for some pink in my world.
Beautiful job! What a headache with the top. Way to push through.
😱
I see you’ve dealt with the lunatics in the comment section. I watch a guy who restores old rusty tools and they had a fit because he uses power tools. People are insane lol, everything you do is beautiful!
The best part is seeing you push through. So many times I want to give up when my projects don’t go right and it is great to see you take a few days and a deep breath and get back in there. Beautiful desk.
Thank you
Wow! Go you! Your efforts paid off because that desk is so cute!
So sorry this happened, but am SO GLAD you showed what it’s like when things go wrong. I mean, really, how infuriating was that! Been there, gal, and totally impressed you only cursed once. 🤣
I totally felt you when you were surveying the effects of the high humidity..... this may have to go away for awhile. So me in my life when a sucker punch comes out of no where and seems to thwart my plan. My most common one is....kids, take this phone away from me before I spike it on the ground like I just caught a touch down pass. Technology and I don’t play together well all the time. Lol Really love your tutorials and how you get through the issues. I’m shopping for a paint sprayer now after seeing your pieces. Thank you for sharing your journey!
I'd love a video about how to clean that sprayer :)
I love the color! I’ve had really good luck with @behr chalk paint so far. With all the shutdowns, it’s been difficult to find chalk paint in the 🇺🇸.
great team work 😁
Wow 😯 todo un reto 👍🏻 felicidades 😊
Hi Katie,
I’m watching this from Down Under as we call it....ln New Zealand.
Loving everything you do and I have a couple of tips for you. My dad was a cabinet maker. Get a candle...(big is good as it covers the distance quicker) and rub the wax thoroughly all along the outsides of the draws and also the runners. This will truly make them slide in and out like butter.
Works like a charm.
The other is to help you with spray drift...
Make a largish oblong that you can hang from the ceiling. Perhaps from pipe, copper pipe, or an old long curtain track and have it on a pulley system. On this oblong hang a couple of large bath tub size shower curtains so that you can pull them around to enclose where you need them. Put some weights in the hems if not already there so they don’t blow about if you should catch a breeze..
For ease... make yourself a dolly....which is either circular,square or oblong. This is just a flat board which has casters underneath so that you can turn it around as you need to spray. It works wonders in a small space. Remember to sand the edges so you don’t catch your legs or clothing on them.
No more spray....and you will love it for ever.
All the best for the future. Your’e doing a fabulous job.
Julie
Thanks Julie. If you watch back a bit, you’ll see that I often wax sticky drawers. In this case, that would not have solved the issue.
Since I’ve been doing this full time for the past 3 years, we have our garage set up in a manor that works for both my husband and I. No small spaces to deal with 😉 (also, when spraying paint, you don’t catch a breeze, you create a little tornado of air with every pull of the trigger so loose plastic would be disastrous)
Thanks for showing some real challenges. You are amazing and inspire others to do things right with hiccups along the way. I was a single mother for many years and my daughter’s friends would come to our house and say “you live here”? They were impressed, and many of the items in my house were picked up at the curb and refurbished. Now I instilled that recycle mentality in my grown daughter, and she has turned out some beautiful pieces and added fabulous upholstery skills too.
That’s amazing! I definitely get my “garbage picker” skills from my Dad and my boys now love to find treasures for me too.
Ms. Katie what a beautiful job. I myself am fixing furniture hoping that I can sell it. Thank you for sharing your work very inspiring.
I'm so glad you show the problems so the rest of us don't feel bad when it goes pear-shaped! 👍🏻
Lol, there is ALWAYS something that doesn’t go smoothly 😉
I really appreciate you sharing the trials and errors! Sometimes I watch DIY stuff and the only show a perfect finish it can be discouraging for newbies like me who encounter hiccups and wonder why I can’t execute perfectly like them! It’s bc nobody does anything perfectly! So thanks for keeping thst in it turned out beautifully
Hello I’m binging on your channel….. love, love, love this pink desk. It’s beautiful. Do you live in southern Ontario?
All the best
Sandra 🏴🇨🇦🇬🇧
Wow! Even the old hardware is a perfect fit for new desk. I love the drawer liner too(and rug). Thanks, that desk is much improved, saved now
Beautiful job on the desk. Love the end result. I would note however that the dust Bondo creates when sanding is highly toxic & very damaging to the lungs. For that reason always wear an actual respirator rather than just a face mask. My nephew decided to make upcycling furniture his passion & used Bondo to fill in cracks, scratches, grooves & missing sections for 2 years. He wore standard face masks rather than a rated good respirator but paid a dear price. He damaged his lungs to the point he's now on oxygen.
Zoe Emiko I wear a respirator with particle and fume filters whenever I’m sanding, spraying paint or working with anything stinky. I’ve mentioned this exact point in several videos.
That Desk is Adorable. What little girl wouldn't love to have it as her very own. Even a teenager's Makeup Table with a girly mirror. Perfect color as well. Excellent Job! Cathleen
I saw the bubbles on the top when you were applying that last coat of primer. Thanks for showing this mishap, the rest of us wouldn't know it was from humidity, valuable lesson. On the "Up" side, that stain went away. This little desk is adorable & the music too: ) Love your work Katie! ps Antique is 100+ yo - Vintage is 0-99 yo
Love your you tube channel! Your technique is great and I love how you keep it real and show worst case scenario! Keep up the great work! RoseAnn from Cleveland Ohio (my hubs once lived in New market)
You always do a wonderful job. I am not a pink person but it looks great
Hello 👋. I'm new here, become your fan from Thailand. Love this vdo! ♥️👍🏻
I have been wanting to try the behr chalk paint. What is your opinion on the quality? Desk looks great.
It was ok. While I was sanding it all off the top 🙄 I thought it was gummy, more like a latex, so probably wouldn’t be great for distressing. I’m neither in love with it or disappointed 🤷🏻♀️
Thanks for your opinion. I’ve heard the same from others. They just have so many color options. Bummer.
So pretty. Some little girl will absolutely love it. I love the color. I am thinking of painting my front door of my house pink. I want a pop of color, tired of playing it safe.
Thank you so much for the showing up what happened my heart sank and I just wanted to cry I'm so glad that you didn't give up you shared on how to fix the problem the end result is beautiful love your channel and have learned so much from you thanks for sharing God bless
I LOVE this. Pink is my favorite color and goes well with the gold hardware. Thanks for sharing!
Good job Katie failure is not an option....😂 If at first you don't succeed, try and try again. I love it. Updating my daughters room, and I will be using this color, absolutely lovely!
Thank you for posting with warts and all. Good to be reminded of things that could go wrong and how to fix it. The most adorable little desk for a fairy princess!
Great job, Katie. I love the pink. I have to fight the urge to use with every piece I get. I did paint one desk pink and it sold right away, though.
This is so nice! The color you chose is wonderful! I am now in a pinky period I hope will last long time. Thank god now a day pink isn’t a girly color it’s just nice for anyone who likes it 😉
Very interesting and informative video. Thanks. Loved the finished desk too and I’m not normally a fan of pink.
That's amazing 👏you are so determined. I want to flip one for my daughter.
Thank you for showing us the real process--the good and the bad. You are amazing at what you do! It came out beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Great job all in all. I hate it when my work goes rong, it disheartens me for a while, I say a while, it disheartens for weeks till I go back to work on it, go beck with fresh eyes. lol Xx
Foam window cleaner works the best to clean anything, it sticks well to any shape or surface.
Hello, did you add some water into the paint to make it sprayeble? Thank you.
Glad to see the problems and how you solved them. It turned out so lovely. Beautiful!!!
Ay en cuanto vi el color!!!me dije no me pierdo,pues tengo algo en mente de este color!!!!🥰🤗
So pretty! IS Behr chalk paint your favorite?
Hey Vickie! This was actually my first time using Behr’s chalk paint. It definitely wasn’t the best I’ve ever used but good in a pinch.
Katie Scott SALVAGED by k. scott thank you! It turned out very pretty.
Love your videos Katie! You seem so lovely and you are very good at what you do. Subscribed!
I have sincerely fell in love with your Chanel and have been binge watching all your videos
Beautiful job as always. What persistence.
I am loving your videos. I wish you were my next door neighbor ☺️
I can understand how frustrating it might be for your when big oops like this happen. As a viewer I find it inspirational that you don’t give up on your project, and I admire how resourceful you are at fixing things. I hope you don’t get too many of this cases, but you can be sure I’ll be watching for when and if it does. GREAT JOB!!!!!
just lay a wet towel over the veneer and the next day just peel off the veneer,the sub board under is usually better wood.
Beautiful! Love the color! Behr is my favorite paint but I have never tried their chalk paint... next project for sure! Thanks!
Love, Love, Love!!! And the drawer lines...OMG! So beautiful. Sad that I live in the U.S. I would buy so many of your pieces. Big Fan from Chicago, Illinois!!!
Me encanta tu trabajo. El color maravilloso!!!!!
Just found your channel! I feel your pain working with veneer. I recently painted and decoupaged the drawers on a 1940s vanity with bad veneer and just finished a 1925 vanity with some bad spots. Best thing to do is rip that stuff off. Removing veneer is a pain, but it's gonna save you time and headaches😀
A lovely job, Katie! Thanks for showing us your work. So interesting, plus you add so much life back into these pieces that might just end up at the dump! ☹ Loving it!!!
Wow! Amazing transformation! Girl, I’m on the east coast in the USA and I’m right there with you on the humidity! Today is was a “felt like 102” day. I recently just signed up for Facebook and liked your page! I just finished my first piece and would love to share the before and after with you. Just wasn’t sure if you minded 😊. Keep inspiring!
top congratulations loved 👏👏 ♥ ️ ♥ ️
Whether it’s a church choir or a mountainside forest , it’s the imperfections that makes beauty .
Really enjoy the way you explain the choices you’re making and take us through the process! I enjoy upcycling furniture as well and I learned lots in terms of the veneer and how to handle it when it gets testy :)
Love you girl and what you have to say about rehab old furniture. It’s ok if its not perfect. I have always been a perfectionist, which has made my life crazy. I am not teaching myself not to worry about perfection. I just finished a Americana OLD Trunk....took me 2 weeks. I had to walk away a few times. Breathe and go back to finish. It looks nice BUT it is not perfect. And I am ok with this. Thank you so much. Ummmmm when is the old radio coming up? Can’t wait!!!! Hugs
Lol. I didn’t but the radio. It was way outside of my skill set so I left it there for someone who can properly take care of all the equipment 😉
I love your videos; it's so great that you show problems/issues and how you solve them. SO ENCOURAGING!! Thank you !
Thank you so much!
Nice. Are you also the macramé artist? Just curious . . .
Hi Katie, thanks for your videos! I like your honesty and the way you present your work process and result with great care to detail. I upgraded several old walnut chairs and a walnut dining table, all without paint but using natural furniture oil to bring out the original wood grain once more. I also upholstered some of the pieces, and I absolutely adore them now. My next project is my son’s vintage writing desk. I never dared using paint in fear of the surface turning out uneven, but I might want to try it with the desk (my son says he wants neon colors!😱) Do you sand the surface only when you use a paint brush? Lots of love from Switzerland!
I sand every piece before painting to smooth knicks and dings and give the surface some “tooth” for the paint to hold onto.
So many videos only show you only glorious success... thanks for sharing your frustrations. Makes me feel better about my projects that don't meet my expectations.
Hi Helen! Every single piece has something that goes wrong or not as expected so it’s important to share. Thanks so much for spending a moment of your day with me 😁
Love your work♥️!!!!!! but i don't have sanding machine, all i have is sandpaper it's gonna be the same result ?
You can absolutely do scuff sanding by hand! Or you can always grab a cheap mouse sander at the hardware store to make it a little easier. You don’t need all the fancy tools at all 😉
Fantastic job. Question, what would you suggest for the buyer if they live in a humid climate also? Would you suspect the drawers sticking even after complete?
Hi Nena!
I only sell locally so my clients have the same conditions as me. Once this piece was inside the house (controlled environment) all the drawers worked perfectly again. I wouldn’t have sold it otherwise.
My guess is that if you were in a usually humid climate your wood furniture would already be adjusted to that.
Katie you are sooo adorable AND a bause!! Love your creativity!! All the best to you...from one Canuck to another.
Hello. I am constantly doing these things, if you look at my channel, I share educational videos, thanks.
It is therapeutic watching you spray paint:)
OMG, love this. I just purchased the paint and the chalk protector. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. Have a great weekend.
I really like this colour on this piece. Well done
I like it a lot! I'm glad to see a regular vid that just painted furniture without the weird stuff. It's so cute!
What part of Ontario are you from? Would you consider selling the peices you upcycle? Just came across your channel❤
Samantha Elizabeth hey 👋🏻 Welcome! I’m in Bradford Ontario. Selling my furniture has been my full time job for the last 4 years.
No fan off pink, but this desk is looking fine again !
What’s the difference between protective top coat and clear wax? Why do some people use the protective top coat at the end and other times use the wax?
Both wax and poly top coat serve the same purpose. They provide a protective barrier between the painted surface and whatever may come in contact with it. My preference is usually poly but wax also works great and in some circumstances can be a little easier to work with.
Love it. Love the color, the drawer liners.
Annie Sloane of Annie Sloane chalk paint in UK says chalk paint needs to be painted at normal room temp. Not in a cold garage or in high heat / humidity. The paint will not bond.
Yes, all paints, chalk or not, preform best when applied in moderate temperatures. I’ve never found temperature to be a factor in bonding. It’s more likely to affect the drying times.
Southern Indiana is watching.
I’ve been binging your videos. You are such an inspiration to me to get started with my own projects.
Hello. I am constantly doing these things, if you look at my channel, I share educational videos, thanks.
Im curious why you used chalk paint if you sanded and primed anyway, I thought that was the purpose of chalk paint
A proper chalk painted finish still requires good prep work. I like to use chalk and mineral based paints because they are eco friendly, low-no VOC, and easy to sand for a super smooth finish. They also have much better coverage than other paints and won’t peel over time like latex paints.
Hi Katie, will you please tell me what size compressor you are using, and what pressure you are spraying at?
I have a 30 gallon tank, which isn’t really big enough. It runs the entire time I’m spraying but is able to keep up and I spray at about 80 psi.
Beautiful color pink. How did you like working with the Behr chalk paint and would you use it again?
I’ll probably use it again in a pinch but it wasn’t my favourite. It sanded more like a latex than a chalk paint and was a little more translucent than I’m used to.
Can you share the type of sprayer you’ve used?
Beautiful job. I'm inspired by watching your process and the way you handled the bubbling veneer situation. I'm also impressed by the staging of your finished pieces - love the way you pull in the hardware colors & keep the look modern and minimal.. Question....does the paint from your sprayer drift to your garage walls and onto the bikes and other things in your garage? I'd like to purchase a sprayer but am concerned about the overspray.
There is always a layer of paint dust on EVERYTHING in the garage 😕
Dear can you tell me please what is the size of the desk. Thank you very much.
34" wide, 18" deep, 29.5' tall.
i love the stool and the golden
hand perfect for this desk. You
did a great job on this. God bless
How difficult is to clean and maintain the spray paint gun? Thank you!
Not difficult at all. I only use water based products so I just rinse everything with water in the sink when I’m done.
"I live in a house full of testosterone" 😆
