Yes! Back to your youtube roots. This turned out very very nice.
Yeeeesss! :) I enjoyed this makeover!
Nice piece, came out beautifully. The rolling filing cabinet's are a hard piece to find at a reasonable price. You really found a gem. Thank you for showing us how you can turn something from trash to treasure.
That would fit a sewing machine so perfectly
OMG, yes! So funny you mention that, because this week I'm making over my $40 thrifted solid oak sewing cabinet!! :)
@@ThriftDiving ooooh, I hope we get to see that project soon!
This came out so great! I love how the paint color kind of has a metallic feel. And I didn’t know you could order a key like that! Thanks for posting. I saw a video from you a long time ago and it really inspired me to paint furniture. It was a pink desk 💕
WOW!! Don't worry about the triffted stuff. It's better and last b years longer!! God Bless!! Martha
The thrifted stuff is the good stuff! All the new stuff is so crappy!
Love this video Serena. Also love how you control your projects and completely unafraid to go outside of the box and try new things.
I always feel that finishing the bottom, back, or any other "hidden" area of a project is what takes it from "good" to "great". :)
Wow, thank you so much for the tutorial. Now I am going to look for a cabinet. Great idea for storing items, organizing office and even using in a child's room for storage. Anything goes!!
Beautiful! You have an eye to see beauty in pieces that looks like it has no hope! Great job!
Upcycling makes me so happy! The cabinet looks great Serena.
Finally some Thrift Diving again! love it!
I love Savers. You almost always leave the store with at least something.
Love the colour combination. Turned out amazingly! 😲💕
I must say I like how you don’t try hide things that go as planned that why I like watching you do your projects
I loved this makeover. It turned out great! I like the fact that it is on wheels. Also I like that it is metal.
Love the final look! Great job!
I don't use Instagram, as many don't, so we're just out of luck. Thanks for all your projects !!
I love going to savers, I got a 2 drawer file cabinet on wheels it was in a bad shape, I used rustoleum paint on it after using the rust remover, and then put some padding and a cover on the top. It doubles as a file with a small drawer and a sitting area. I would like to find one of those filing cabinets. Keep up the great Makeovers. Love it
What a huge difference! That cabinet was so yucky before but now it’s really cute!
I'm addicted to second hand stores oh my God they've just got everything that you can use and manipulate to make it your own and you totally rock that is so cool what you did I'm going to run out and try to find me one like that we have a restore place where I live now in Casper Wyoming and I cannot wait to get in there to find goodies
Nice job. I wouldn’t have looked twice at this.
You always do a great job, that turned out really nice!
Gotta give metal stuff at the shops a second look now!
Definitely! I have a pile of metal cabinets that I'll be making over to put in my shed! I'm addicted to buying them when I see them at the thrift store! Especially the smaller two-drawer ones!
I wish we had a Savers. I absolutely loved that place when I went to California some years ago.
Great project, I have been looking for one of those for years. Luck you. lol. Again, beautiful finished project. Thanks
OMGGGGGG. THAT IS SO FLIPPIN CUTE
Thank you, Donna!!! :)
Another masterpiece!! Love it. 💕💕
It looks fantastic Serena!
Oh
My
Goodness!!!!
So awesome!!!!
Looks great! You got a great deal on that file cabinet.
YES YES YES , GREAT IDEA RESTORING METAL CABINETS , THERE ARE A LOT OF METAL ONES AROUND TO BE REUSED ....
It looks great! And I love the colors you chose.
Awesome! I have a metal cart(maybe an old tea cart that I want to refinish. I saved it from the dumpster.
YES YES YES ; I SAY TO ALSO ---- ALWAYS REDO THE WHOLE ITEM ---- PIECE ---- TOP TO BOTTOM ...
Love the outcome. My thrift stores don’t have a lot of good stuff.
Came out gorgeous... 🥰
Thank you! Glad you like it!
Wow,awesome,.your makeover looks great.
That turned out amazing 👍💕
Thank you, Gina!
Fantastic!!
Oh wow, love this! Hope your finger is okay! I will definitely wear some gloves! 😅
Savers in Las Vegas (summerlin location, I’m calling you out) would have marked that $30. Because that what google says.
I’m happy you found a cabinet at a great price.
Can't wait to see more!
Totally awesome love the blue grey would you use it again
Beautiful. I can’t find your list of supplies. Maybe I didn’t dig deep enough. You have inspired me to paint a night stand.
Oooh, I'm sorry, Susan! Here you go! It's on the blog: thriftdiving.com/paint-metal-file-cabinet/
I ❤️❤️❤️ Savers.
Me too! They're my favorite place, and where I live, the prices are so affordable!
That's a lot of work! Whew!
Interested how you liked the Heirloom Traditions paint
What a awesome awesome video massive thumbs up
You did an awesome job
That was really awesome 👏
very cute
Great project
Beautiful!
I love this one
Love it!! 💖🙏
I am so sad I did not get a notification and I have not gotten any notifications for four months I most definitely could have use that $500
Great job!
Super Cute!!!❤️
Lovely!
You should have just removed the casters. It is easier to paint without them and you don't get paint on them. They just pop off and pop on, so easy peasy. I've done a rehab on a similar file and did this with it. Of course, yours turned out better and, in my home, I would have it in a purple/lavender color. 🙂
Mam your Before is my After 🤣 i did the same thing on my small cabinet but later my mom found out that I'm using a Wall paint 😂🤫
Hi, I’m seriously thinking about reupholstering a winged back chair. I remember watching your videos a couple of years back. Have you continued to reupholster furniture? 💜
Love this!
Love it !
Very nice!😊
PERFECT!
The pallet needs to go. Time to get a proper landing and steps in front of those shed doors. 😀
Totally agree!! But everything is taking way slow. I'm thinking of just hiring the cement company to come back and make a ramp + stairs. It will be one less thing to worry about trying to squeeze in!
@@ThriftDiving, a concrete landing is an excellent choice.
METAL CABINETS , ARE GREAT TO REPURPOSED FOR A LOT OF DIFFERENT USEFUL THINGS , AND THIS HELPS KEEPING THEM OUT OF EARTHS LANDFILLS ... SO REPURPOSED AS MUCH OF METAL ---- METAL ---- METAL ---- AS WE ALL CAN ...
So cute
Cute!
Nice!
מקסים, עבודה יפה מאוד😍
No topcoat?
You don't need to use a chemical rust remover.. it's completely unnecessary to use a caustic chemical like that..simply use brillo or a 120 grit sand paper
You can use brillo or sandpaper but I like using rust remover when I see rust, to make sure that I clean it up well.
🙂🙂👍👍
