    I will never understand the double knobs, but proud of that person for trying to makeover these nightstands. We all have to start somewhere. Love how you transformed these!

      When you can’t find a single knob that fits the holes.

      I always chuckle when I see 2 knobs used like this. How hard is a trip to Home Depot or Walmart for normal sized pulls? They can be so inexpensive!

      @@aok2727 I remember my first furniture project with handles. The holes weren't the standard space and there was no UA-cam, or HGTV to show me that I could fill the holes and drill new ones. I just had to reuse the original ones.

    Well done you, on not berating the previous owners of those drawers, it always gets my back up when people that are in the know on looking after furniture, rip apart somebody else's hard work, and by the way they look fab as always :P

    Katie you are so dang good at this! Congratulations on how far the channel has come, and your skills. I totally love your content - especially that the structure hasn’t changed too much. The pacing is perfect, and it’s also really calming to watch.

    Wouldn't it be funny if in five or ten years you found them in a thrift store and bought them to refinish again? I'd love that - simply for the fact that you could extend their lives even further! This is a great tutorial, and I love how they turned out.

    I had to watch the end part twice because I couldn't believe it looked like a Woodgreen. Wish I could do that. I know you made it look so easy, but that's because you are good at what you do. Sue from Australia

    Beautiful job! I have a tip to share. I use the bubble packaging I get from Amazon to put my brush in between coats. When I get a string of them from an Amazon, I trim off one side. Which creates a pocket for my paint brush. I then stuff them in an empty Kleenex box for easy access. I love you channel and have learned a lot thru you! Thank you!

    I have seen this faux wood finish done once before. I was in the U. S. Navy on a ship the Captain's cabin two walls full of built in closets, lockers, and cabinets all of metal. While in the shipyard in 1971 someone came in and painted them all to look like wood. I was impressed, but I never (knowingly) saw anything like it again until watching this video.

    I started refinishing doing so many things differently then now but jumping in & doing is what is more important. I was happy you showed the same steps on all sides of the side table, while that may seem redundant to some, I found it answered a lot of questions for me. Thanks love the finish!

    Had a little chuckle over the pottery barn name for the comp nightstands, we live about an hour from Toulouse in SWFrance. I remember this technique from late 70s but love how yours look. Subtle, which previous incarnations were not, in my house anyway! Well done Katy. Those awful double knobs are history .👏👏
