Modernizing an Outdated Cedar Chest | Turn $25 into $275
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- This is how I make money flipping furniture! I picked up this Lane Cedar chest from Facebook Marketplace for $25 because I knew it would make an adorable and profitable little flip! I modernized it with some new feet and a fresh new paint job and made it safe again by removing the dangerous old lock. Go check out Charlene at https. kennedy.withlove

** If you have a cedar chest built by Lane Furniture between 1912-1987, they recommend that you immediately disable the lock and contact them for a replacement mechanism at www.LaneFurnit... **

You are so generous in sharing products and techniques. You do not need to share your costs or pricing. You have worked hard to learn what works for your market. You are allowed to keep some things to yourself, so please do not feel pressured by viewers to spill all.
It’s beautiful, I think people sometimes forget or don’t quite understand that time and hard work deserves to be compensated. I really appreciate the cost breakdown and think what you charge is extremely fair considering what a piece like this would cost in a showroom. You’re highly skilled and your work speaks for itself so the pricing is a reflection of that. It turned out beautiful and it’s cedar lined💓 awesome !
Really good flip. Since there were decorative wood squares on the front of the chest, I loved your choice of square legs and handles. The colour you chose gave a subtle feminine finish to a rather masculine piece.
The square legs were a better choice.
You are my favorite furniture artist to watch! Your staging talent / taste is so classy and artistic. 🥰 i probably left a similar comment before, but you really inspire me and make my heart happy. 😀
Love it! Definitely made it modern and what a transformation! And you explained pricing very well too. ❤️
I loved the flip. I have 2 chests that I was going to get rid off. But now I will up date them. Although I am glad that you removed the skirting I really didn’t particularly like the legs that you put on. Not a criticism just a different preference.
I'm obsessed with the color choices! Beautiful. Kwik Wood and Sunbleached...you are my spirit furniture refinisher! ❤️
Her color choices are always spot on
@@feedingmysoul7195 For reals!
I agree totally you just gave me a great idea for my old chest
scuffing up the inner cedar lining also "reactivates" the cedar! I'm glad you left the Lane tag inside. I have my grandmother's Lane cedar chest from the early 50's (a totally different style!). I use it next to my pellet stove and store my pellets in it. I've been thinking about painting it now thinking about it more! Thank you for sharing your expertise!!
The finished piece is so pretty. I totally would have overlooked the original on FB marketplace. It was so dated and IMO ugly. Never would dreamed it could turn out so lovely.
Glad you had the vision and took the leap of faith. All good! Wonderful job
It always amazes me how much difference it makes to change up the base/ legs/ hardware. And painting minimizes that fussy (to me) design on the front. Great job as usual.
It was tradition in our family “if” you graduated from high school..you got a cedar chest...but I ran away from home just after senior year started and never got my cedar chest..... best thing I ever did though,..found my Lord and Savior during that time.....but always wanted a cedar chest too....we are funny human beings, YES! God bless y’all abundantly and stay safe and healthy!
Those square knobs are perfection.
Me too 😉
I'm totally addicted to watching these videos
The transformations are incredible
Kept that long linear rectangular line in all the added details- -artist eye at work..... Knew pink shade sells ....You're a successful business women AND an inspiration to us viewers .... Thank you ! 💁
Katie Scott you have done it again. Your knowledge and skill are fantastic not to mention your taste. I love all your work. You just took your business up another notch. You go girl
That one is gorgeous...I have one to upcycle with a ton of damage to the veneer; but she’ll be a stunner when I show her a little love ❤️ Thanks for the inspiration!
Summer Grace is such a subtle pink. What a transformation.
I love what you did in that old cedar chest. White paint is just perfect for any furniture.
You are right, when it has to do with the price of your work there is no need to going too much explanation because every situation is different, and the most important thing is the love you have for your work with that dedication you show while you are working. Love the way you explain everything although you did not have to do that, but it shows that you care about your viewer questions. On my part, I love your dedication, and your talent with the flipping of furniture. Love your work.
Humble and honest! You are such a breath of fresh air. I enjoy (ok, giddy) seeing your transformation! Thank you for sharing! ♥️
Thx you for explaining “cost” makes total sense- 👏🏻
Love everything about this piece! Cedar, pink, white wash💖💖💖 Love that you pay so much attention to detail, especially those gaps in the wood. So glad you filled them in. I noticed them when you were cleaning, very irritating!
This project was perfectly timed, Katie. I have my Gram’s Cedar Chest, all wood, take two people to carry it type of Cedar Chest. I need the outside to my updated guest room decor. Removing the bottom skirt and updating the legs will do the trick! Thanks and love the outcome on you flip! 😁
I'm not generally a big fan of pink, but what you used is such a soft color. So pretty!
You did pink!!!! I LOVE IT! Your process is flawless. Another GORGEOUS piece
Beautiful work Katie! Love the new look and colour palette you used! The caulking was smart for the details and painting brilliant ❤️
Nice!!! Love the pink and gold combo. Removing the old skirting made huge difference too.
I loved the color, the legs and the knob choices you made for this piece. As always an excellent job. What a beautiful piece of modern furniture. Thanks for the pricing information.👍
Beautiful! I have a Lane cedar chest that I was given in 1972... same dark stain as yours, but mine has a Mediterranean feel to it. It sure could use a refresh. Between your videos cheering me on and quarantine making me bored, I'm ready (I think) to take on the challenge! Thank you!!
Gosh Katie. It came out so beautiful. Before you dressed it up, I wouldn’t have given it a second look. Now I’d love it in my home😉
Loved this! And appreciate you taking the time to provide the cost breakdown-you deserve every penny!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing your process on this one, and your pricing formula. Very helpful information. Turned out beautiful as well.
That pink color! Perfection! Absolutely beautiful job. Thanks for sharing and inspiring!
It's nothing to be ashamed of, Katie, you making your living out of it, it is very honorable. And what you to those pieces of furniture, it's miracle!
Absolutely beautiful! 🏆Now you can market it as a bench for a mud room too. Very modern looking. And THANKS for outlining you costs/profit for your pieces knowing there are a lot of factors that differentiates everyone’s unique situation. Under pricing is worse than testing the water in your area to see what it can bring. Don’t want to under value the product’s quality. Please continue to still disclose that gem of info!💰
Removing the skirt and adding the new legs is genius. Completely changed the look. Nice job!
I love how easy the clunky skirt came off, wish they were all that easy. Love the chest even though it is pink👌
There’s lots of angles on this modern style chest. Glad you used the more modern legs rather than the curvy legs that you showed in the Instagram example.
yessss i love that you added the numbers and profit information!
Another great project. My Lane is from 1942. It needs a new sand and top refinish but I love it with the wood finish. Very unusual chest shape which I also love. But do love what you've done with your newer one. And thanks for the tip on getting the new locks.
I have been dealing with a broken skirt on my hope chest that my mother passed down to me and just didn't know what to do with it, UNTIL I saw this video! Why haven't I thought to just put some legs on there! My goodness what a good idea! 👍 Thank you for sharing!
I think this in my favorite flip so far. I have my grandmothers cederchests one very plain the other very ornate. Thank you for helping us to open our vision!
Thank you so much for watching!
Very beautiful update! Such a great idea to remove the skirting. The legs look like such a nice match. Great idea to use the sun bleached stain. Thanks for doing your cost breakdown. I find that really helpful!
That turned out beautiful! When you first mentioned pink I for some reason thought bright, neon or hot pink. I love the Pretty Pink! I'd love to have this in a deep purple with a natural top and legs, LOVE IT
Great Job!! Just a tip...I use zip lock bags for my used rollers for reuse. I used to do the bags too, but I like how the zip lock bags seal!!
I use whatever is closest 😂
I admittedly have a type A personality, so the attention to detail when you caulked those gaps just made my day. To me, that took the piece up another level, even if it was a simple task. That pink is really nice. I like that it is pink, but could *almost* pass for white depending on the lighting and surroundings.
Recently my sister in law was throwing out a really nice double dresser. I just happen to stop by as it was on its way to the curb 😍. I painted it pretty much the same color pink used here. You're right, it could pass for white in the right lighting. I absolutely love it💞
Another great piece! I never could have imagined it looking that great! I remember my parents had a chest almost exactly like this one and it totally makes sense why the locking mechanism was recalled.
Looks great! Have you seen the Dixie Belle Silk paint. It's an "all in one mineral paint" that has primer and top coat. They just suggest sanding prior to painting. I love their gemstone mousse also!
Simply perfection. I think the angular legs are the perfect compliment to the lines of this piece. Same with the square knobs. Curves anywhere would have distracted from the cohesiveness. Thank you for another amazing video. 👍🏻
Yesss! I learned the wrap the roller in plastic and put it in the fridge over 30 years ago from my mom. When I tell people about it they think I'm crazy until they try it lol. Beautiful work as always!
Katie.... this is gorgeous ! So wonderful to see people like yourself, saving these pieces and turning outdated to PHENOMENAL!
Well done once again! Well done !
What a very pretty piece. Thank you for sharing how you price your pieces, it really does help and I believe if I really consider all the factors in play that I can price it for my area and skills.
Doesn’t even look like a whisper of the original!🥰
This spring I'm building a 16 X 12 work shop in my back yard to do this I've always wanted to do this but for some reason haven't acted on it till now. Love what to did. Your choices on hardware and legs spot on!
What a transformation. You chose the exact color needed for this project. The legs and the knobs add sophistication. Liked everything. The way you explain every step gives us more confidence to work on our own projects. I don't flip, but transform furniture for my own use. Don't buy new furniture anymore. Blessings.
Wish I were closer. I’d like to have my early American cedar chest from 1973 done. Has the 3 shutter look on front. You do such a nice job. 👍
Turned out great. Love the square legs and knobs, they definitely suit it well.
This really makes me want to search for a chest to flip myself; it turned out so nice!!
That turned out so pretty! Great tip about storing your rollers in the fridge for multiple uses-- thanks!!
What a good job. You transformed this piece. The color is beautiful. Flipping funiture is totally a thing here in The Netherlands. Thank you for explaining the costs.
I love Lane cedar hope chest. I have 2. One knotty pine and one veneer blonde. Both old and Love them just the way they are! But this 70s style needed updating. Great find. Great job!!!
Thank you so much for using Eco products where possible! This makes my heart very happy!!
Just an FYI... You can find some truly STUNNING legs on Etsy for the same price (less for the ones you got and the ones I got were white with gold bottoms, and Eco resin with gold inside them for $40 for each set and they are faaaabulous)... No reason to make Jeff more money than he's already making 😁
Another beautiful piece! I loved the color, such a pretty shade of pink. I chuckled at the amount of time scouring Facebook Marketplace for the perfect piece. I just had that same conversation with my daughter. There is so much to wade through! Thank you for sharing your expertise and passion with us!
This cedar chest turned out gorgeous. I've seen several over the past couple of weeks and considering my hand at one. Thanks for another great video.
Wow, what a difference! Paint transformed it, but the new feet and handles took it to the next level! Kind regards from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧😊💕
LOVE what you do with old, sometimes horrible looking, furniture! It's great to know you're in Canada & I can purchase what you use, too! Thanks Katie, you're an inspiration!
Those new feet were a huge improvement, and the new knobs are a perfect accent.
Beautiful. I can't believe you did all that in "only" three hours!
I love the update I have my cedar chest that I received a 1976. I have never thought about updating it until now
This turned out beautiful. What a nice modern update.
Huge improvement! Love the square hardware and square legs
What an improvement on the original!
Thanks for the tips on pricing too, as you said there can be so many variables, but it's great to hear how you figure it out .⭐✨😊
Katie, I use the same primer. I use press n seal on my paint tray and I use a small container of denatured alcohol to just drop the roller in. I use a foam roller. When I go to use the shellac based I always add a bit of denatured alcohol to the primer. Not too much but it makes the primer flood and leaves ZERO lines!
Love the simplicity of this!
Embarrassed? Nooo the way to go girl!! A new life for the future.
You find the best pieces to flip! Beautifully done!
Another fabulous flip! You've got me considering pink for my next project! I like that you included your cost breakdown. Appreciate you sharing your perspective on that topic!
You are such an inspiration. Thanks for the amazing video 😍
People can get so hung up on what profits artists make. I am a potter living in Australia. Funny how we don’t question others about their hourly rate of pay. Ah the arts is such a fragile profession. Best wishes. Love your channel. Love your work.
Beautiful transformation!
The color choice was just the way to go!
Your flip is much better because I like your choice in legs and knows. Fantastic job!!
Love it ! What a great find at 25$ and with such great potential. You did it proud.
Quelle belle transformation, c’est une de vos plus belle réalisation 😉
Your attention to ALL detail is what makes you SO successful! You are amazing Lady!🥰
Perfect legs, hardware, and paint color. Your skills are spot on Katie. You are so generous sharing your expertise. Many thanks 🌷
very nice. and im really pleased you now show the end result at the end rather than at the beginning so we get a nice surprise :)
I LOVE IT 😻... the details.. the color..!!! The rug and bench go perfect and the vase of the snake plant.. uhhh love it ALL @11:30
Glad you like it!
Just beautiful as usual! So glad you mentioned the recall - my 1970's Lane chest still has its lock - ohoh - thanks :-)
Thank your for breaking down the cost profit and hours. Please keep doing that.
Perfect redo. The legs suit the piece perfectly.
Turned out so beautifully. I have been taking off skirts and adding legs. Its amazing how different they look doing that.
Yes! Thank you!
I really enjoy your style of videos. You are very professional in your communication and you keep on topic throughout the presentation. You have a kind of grace in your personality and makeover style that is calming and everything you produce is breathtaking. Your instructions are clear and genuinely helpful to all of us with different skill levels. Best wishes to you in 2021 and a big "howdy" from Texas. Your work is inspiring Katie - "keep em coming!"
Gorgeous! Thank you for the pricing information. I can't believe it only took you 3 hours of labor. You're a pro. My last project took me 3 weeks lol.
It was in the shop for a day but only 3 hours of actual working time. You can't count dry time in labour costs. Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you so much for close-ups, I just mentioned this to another talented YT, close-ups are vital for people wanting to try a technique because it all looks good from afar. So many times I wanted to see texture, paint finish, seams, joints, etc but couldn't because the UA-camr wants to put their best foot forward, which is fine I get it, but the majority of people are not going to knock anyone for a few imperfections that quite possibly couldn't be fixed anyways
I am not a fan of pink - but I know you always knock it out of the park. You won me over - now I want a pink cedar chest!!
I'm so inspired! I've been debating about really venturing into this craft and you've definitely convinced me! Such beautiful work! 🧡
Amazing difference. Such a difference when the skirting is removed. Love your work.
Gorgeous! And I love the choices you made on this piece. Thank you for explaining everything so well.
Well done. I do like the way you teach without the extra unnecessary chatting.
