Unpainting Antique | This Antique Dresser Restoration Didn't Go as Planned!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лют 2024
- Join me as I tackle the restoration of an antique dresser, only to encounter some unforeseen challenges along the way. From peeling paint to structural issues, I share the ups and downs of this project, providing some insights into the realities of working on furniture. Despite my best efforts, this restoration didn't go as planned, but I believe there are still valuable lessons to be learned from every setback. Watch until the end to see how I navigate through the difficulties and ultimately decide to call it quits.

Here’s my thought: this dresser has lived a long life. You are a stop on its journey. You aren’t dragging it to the curb (win). You are setting it aside for now (win). You are keeping an eye out for another furniture person to continue its restoration (win). You anticipate improving your own skill set (win) so that you may be able to finish it in the future (win). That makes this a win-win-win-win-win. Not a fail at all! Plus another great video from you! So, a win x six!🌸
What an awesome way to think about this! ❤
Well said, I agree
I'm so sorry it didn't work out. I was really interested in seeing the outcome. That's because I had a piece very similar to this one years ago. Put it up for sale with a local antique dealer who moved away taking my piece with him. By now, it would have been worth quite a bit. Anyway, letting go of that, I continue to appreciate the ways in which you share your process, even when that process involves admissions of your limitations. Hope you find someone to take that piece on.
Hi,n What is that scraping tool called please xx
I agree this is a win because you have learned from this piece. This is not a failure. I enjoy watching your vlogs and I always learn something. I use to refinish furniture in the 70's only hand tools, not having any of the great tools you have. Now I appreciate the work you do and the lessons you have taught us.
Do you know how much we appreciate not only the hours of work that you put into this, but the honesty that you shared with us...?
Many, if not all of us, need to know its all right to let go of something sometimes. Bless your heart for this ❤
I adore the fact that you acknowledge that there are limits to your current skill set. We are all learning, growing and overcoming, but have things yet to learn. ❤
I’ve dumped those projects too - right in the lap of my husband. It takes a fair amount of special equipment and a lot of time to make those drawers function like new again. And way back then, dresser drawers didn’t run nearly as smooth as modern furniture does. Actually, Katie, I want to thank you for posting this video. I’m sure we have all taken on pieces that upon close examination needed more specialized work and (for me, twice) total abandonment even with my talented husband’s skill set.
I like your honesty and showing of the not so succesful projects. We learn from them as much as from the successes. So thank you for sharing❤
Kudos to you! It's not easy admitting that you can't finish a project. You've just made yourself dearer to the rest of us.
I think it would make a great UA-cam collaboration challenge with another UA-camr that has the woodworking skills/machines needed to bring this piece home. Either way, great video and the fact that we saw you pick it out and the anticipation that you and the rest of us had to see it and then dealing with the hard decision to stop. Thanks for sharing, and I hope you next project is super easy for you.
Angie!
These projects are just as important as the wins, because they show not everything is easy peasy and sometimes you do have to walk away until you have learnt the skills you need or find someone who has them 👏❤️
Bad drawers - the flipper's bane. I have in rare cases built simple new drawers, adding roller glides if needed, and then used the original drawer fronts. Sticklers for authenticity will gasp at that, but I find there are many people who love the look of vintage, but the funtionality of modern drawers. If it's a matter of chucking the dresser, paying hundreds for an authentic restoration, or it or putting a beautiful, less-than-authentic piece back in service, it's my pick.
You are an inspiration to me Katie, I've learned so much from you and this is one more lesson to tuck in my pocket - honesty and discernment.
So as an analogy to your project, quilters often tackle long term projects around other quick project to not burn out on that longterm project and end up hating the process we love so much.
There are very frustrating time consuming intricately pieced beautiful quilts, and there are fun jelly roll race quilts with 2.5" precut strips that we whip out to feel accomplished, and medium skill quilts that might have great block settings in a fab fabric we do too.
What you have here is one of those first types!!! Break it down into segments - find someone to do the repairs that you aren't skilled in to either do that part entirely or teach you how to do it.
Then find a new piece to flip.
Then go to the next step.
Then get another new fast flip.
Repeat
Thank you for your honest report on this dresser. Also, thank you for respecting this piece and not giving up on restoring it. You have achieved a huge undertaking to remove the majority of the paint. I’m sure someday it will be the beauty it once was. Great job, as usual! 👏
Maybe I'm just having an emotional day, but all of these comments brought tears to my eyes. Katie, you are so loved and respected because of your honesty and your skill set. You aren't afraid of taking on a challenge and sharing your journey, good and not so good. A total win in my book!
I'm gobsmacked that Habitat charged as much as they did for that. We learn when things don't work, also. ❤
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your being honest about this project. Personally, I'm stymied by self-doubt bcs in all of the videos I watch, everyone is already so skilled, so creative, so talented. Despite realizing that everyone has to start somewhere, I've just been stuck in searching for pieces but not actually starting anything. Thanks again for sharing that even the most talented folks encounter overwhelming challenges sometimes.
Bless your heart, I know what you mean!
Thank you, Katie, for your honesty! I'm sure you will report, very soon, a restoration guru has stepped forward. Please keep us posted. 👍👏😍❤
That’s what I was hoping for too! We’ll see!
Tag team approach to this beauty may be the best option. No loss, just a long time out.
I have an old dresser in need of a refresh. Not sure if has lead paint. If it tests positive, I think I'll contact a local refinisher so they can get the lead out as they will have all the proper equipment. Less worries for me. Thanks for the reminder to test old paint finishes!
Sometimes you need to take a step back and look at the project, not every project works, that doesn't mean its a fail! Its just the project might need a rejig or as you said someone with different skills to you! The paint on that looked to thick and nasty, but the items is a love piece. 😊
Don't beat yourself that the project is at that stage, you have done more that most of us would have. I have discarted pieces for less than that. Sending you all my energy and love! ❤
I have an idea…how about a collab with Angie at Transcend Furniture Gallery! You two can work on restoring the drawers together! That would be epic!!’
Great idea!! Love Angie.
Both of you are “top drawer”!
What a great IDEA !!!! Dont give up Get Angie involved with you it would make for a great video and you would be teaching us!!!!!!!!
Know when to fold ‘em! I’m actually surprised that there are not more restorations that end up like yours. Thanks Katie.
There probably are, the person just isn't as honest and open as Katie.
I was questioning whether anyone could bring it back to life.
I would not attempt it.
Just know we love your skills as your skills are over the top. I've learned so much from you and appreciate your videos.
Those drawers are a mess. That was a huge learning experience for you and all of us. Yes, please check your area within a reasonable radius for a carpenter who can rebuild those drawers. This was the best lesson in why NOT to paint porous solid wood white, especially an oil based white, unless one wants to keep it white forever. I hope after the drawers are repaired you can resume solving the restoration finish conundrum. Thanks, Katie, for being such an honest, interesting person.
That's a big part of why I think painting solid wood furniture is so clueless. It's not MDF or particle board. It's like they're blind to natural beauty.
Same goes for original oak, chestnut, etc wood trim in historical homes. When the walls are painted a light color the room is bright and highlights the amazing and irreplaceable richness of wooden artwork.
These days folks love the look of a cheaply built cookie-cutter house with MDF or foam trim, so they cover the craftsmanship and warmth of real wood with primer white to make it appear "modern" aka cold and cheap.
Even if someone tries to restore wood it to its original beauty, paint embedded into the grain is many times impossible to remove.
Well, it’s still not in a landfill. There is hope. A goodly portion of the work is done, and I cross my fingers you find a local craftsman that can put her back together. Thank you for sharing and look forward to an update at some point. ❤❤❤❤
It’s good to know when to quit! 😅 I passed up a 3 drawer elm dresser in a similar state this week and it’s been haunting me…but your video made me think maybe I made the right decision! ❤
You went above and beyond to try and fix it.
Maybe you could contact Angie from Transcend Furniture Gallery I think this is up her alley. I still think that you tried to do a good job, it is not a mistake or failure to stop and rethink the whole thing, especially if you think you do not have the expertise yet to do the work.
Angie and I talk very often. I’m 1000% sure she’s not interested in this one either 😂❤️
@@salvagedbykscott Hahaha! I was coming here to suggest Angie as well. I'm glad you both are well acquainted. I enjoy you both so much. :-D
Katie let it be a learning tool. Try the things you may not feel confident in. You’re already a top notch flipper/restorer of furniture. Your children will marry some day and what a beautiful blessing of a gift. It would have so much of you in it.
Bummer! Surely there will be another craftsman who can continue this pieces journey. Cuz she's gonna be so cute!
Thank you so bad for sharing the good, the bad and the ugly!!! We all learn from each other, and that makes me really appreciate your transparency so much!!!
I am impressed by your work ethic and attention to detail. Also, your honesty ♡. Often in real life, issues we haven't forseen arise. Thank you for showing us this valuable lesson.
Aside from the setious wood work challenges, the only way to remove the paint in this wood's pores might be a chemical dip.
Major respect for veracity.
I watched a video of somebody admitting they were going to fail and I still loved it. Canadians are so sweet.🎉
Your honesty makes me want to continue to try and not worry so much about being a perfectionist. Being honest with all your viewers is so refreshing!
A little baileys in that coffee ! You deserve it. Thanks for sharing💗
You just did all the work nobody wants to do to restore something. Now, hopefully someone will come along and finish it, except they get to skip right to their favorite part: the woodworking. Good job!
Well hopefully you can find someone to help you restore it is a beautiful piece. Onward and upward 😉
Thanks for sharing Katie- it's nice to know the ups as well as the downs!
Oh so sorry this didnt work out. You've more courage and gumption than I ever would have. And this dresser did have such beautiful potential. Thanks for sharing your trials and tribulations. I once kept my craft or sewing "rejects, maybe do something later" in an old dresser. You have the perfect dresser for them!
Thanks for not tossing it..maybe someday ...
As others have said, you didn't fail, because you learned something from this attempt. You'll either be able to pick it back up later or you'll find someone else who can give it the special attention it needs. Thanks for sharing your progress with us and I hope it finds the next step on its way to a new home soon! 💖
Hi Katie! I'm sure you're bummed about not being able to refurbish this dresser. You put so much time and effort into it. It's got to be disappointing to discover that it needs more "love" than you are prepared to give it. Don't let it get you down! You're an amazing furniture flipper! You have grown a business and are giving back to your community with your projects! This just wasn't the right one for you. Enjoy your coffee and stay positive!!! See you on your next video! 😊
i'm a horse trainer, and used to run a rescue. oh how I wish more people had the courage and brains to say: I don't have the skills I need right now....
you've no idea how much I appreciate your decision. yes, it's not a live animal, but it's still a lovely peice that is in very good hands. well done.
Not a fail! A learning experience and because you decided to share it, a teaching opportunity. Thank you for all that you do to repurpose furniture in a beautiful way. You’ve kept many many pieces from filling up landfills.
Good to see this ending! I hope you find someone to relay this piece to the finish line.❤
Thank you Katie, for sharing this video. I had a flipping fail last fall that was incredibly painful to let go, and it helps to know that others go through this too, even people who do this professionally. I appreciate your honesty, and how real you are in all your videos.
Not everything ends the way we hoped. I'm sure you will find someone who can do the repairs that are needed. I love seeing all of the details and craftsmanship that went into making the furniture (eg wooden screws).
So much work, but you did an extraordinary job. But it’s kind of like trying to make a 90 year old woman look 25 again, it’s harder than we might think. I’m grateful for your honesty.
It’s a “win” not a fail that you can admit that it’s currently out of your skill set & you can set it aside & think about the best options! ❤
Hey Katie, has anyone ever commented that hey, I'm the one who left that such and such piece of trash furniture at the curb and I can't believe how you were able to turn it into something beautiful!
Congratulations! You didn’t fall for the sunk cost fallacy. Too often we focus on how much we’ve invested rather than whether an endeavour is worth the additional time and money it’ll take to get it across the finish line. Well done!
I find when something like this happens to me not matter what it is, it's beat to walk away and when the time is right, you will know when to try again. And maybe in the meantime you'll be able to find someone that is able to help you with the drawers and barter services...
You Got This!! You are not defeated!! 💪🏻 and will be looking forward to the day you're able to get it finished!
When I saw your short about this dresser, sitting there, looking defeated, it broke my heart. I honestly thought that something really bad happened to you, even got hurt or something. Am so glad that you are ok and your video showing how you tried hard to make it work was very inspiring. Thank you for sharing. As always, my deepest admiration to you and your work.
Thank you for sharing this flip turned flop with us! It doesn't always go the way we planned, and sometimes you have to accept (as you did) that you won't be able to execute your vision. This is a realistic scenario for many of us hobbyist flippers, and I appreciate how candid you were!
A lot of time and energy invested in this piece of furniture. Hope you find someone to continue on with this project. I appreciate the honesty.
I appreciate your honesty
You did your best! Thank you for sharing --- I have a feeling that this is not the end for this piece ❤
Thanks for showing this. I do so admire your respect for these antique pieces that have been so badly used, this might just be some time out for this dresser. Go do something you have been itching to do on another piece waiting in line and get your reno juices flowing again. Until next time.
WARNING: Long post coming up: Just wanted to let you know you inspired me. I've been a woodworker for several years and have more woodworking tools than a person should have (
I have a bit of a problem lol) Making custom tables, built ins etc...mostly for myself and family and it will be my hobby for as long as my body will allow it. I'm an empty nester (finally!) and saw one of your videos where u talk about that u don't sell the furniture you restore anymore, but donate it. I decided to give it a try. Restored a couple of old solid oak night stands and a side table. Not bad...now I'm doing a small dresser that had been used in a garage and has paint drippings all over it plus some damage. Almost done with it also. ANYWAY , I've decided that I'm going to continue doing this and my wife (who gives me design and color help) and I are going to start donating all of the stuff I restore to the local women's shelter. I have already acquired 4 more pieces that I'll restore in the next month and the shelter is thrilled. Again, leaned a lot from your videos and now maybe I'm actually doing something good for people not as fortunate as me. Thanks again!❤
I feel your pain. I have had projects that I had to admit defeat. However, I learned alot from them as I did from your video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing! I’m sure you will come up with an amazing solution!
Thanks for being human, being honest and admitting defeat after a very good try at giving it a new life xx
You have had many successes. We have all seen you in these successes. Anyone who creates can tell you they have a few from hundreds of projects that fail. One in every hundred is really good average. By my accounting you are still on the A list, you are still on the deans list, your not kicked out . Take a step back and regroup and look at how you may have approached it differently and modify for the next project. Don't stop looking forward. Look for a opportunities to grow from this last project. Every artist reaches this point when they have found a flop and can't flip it. You did a fantastic job stripping this piece. Call this a win.
I really appreciate your candor on this project! It helps to see what factors went in to making this one a no-go. Good experience for those of us who have much less skill than you do.
You gave it your best shot and tried to see it through but realized you have skillset limitations and decided not to do more damage than good to the piece. I applaud you for keeping it real and for investing as much time as you did to try and breathe new life back into it. You’re awesome and do beautiful work on every piece you’ve done before this one. It was too neglected and overworked before you bought it. We love your channel and look forward to your next refinish.
It's not a fail! It's a lesson and recognizing your capabilities. You may get back to it, or you may find someone else to finish it. If you pass it on, please update us. Love your work ❤
Well, Katie, have you had time to read some of the comments your many fans have left about this project? We all have varied but similar thoughts on this project. Most of them quite positive. You're a beautifully honest person, and you know when you are in over your head. For precisely that reason, this is not a fail. Like anything, furniture refinishing and repair is a learning experience, and you just learned something very important. Not every project is going to work out as planned. There are dozens of flippers on UA-cam, some of whom are master woodworkers. I am hoping that some of them will be good enough to touch base with you. Whatever happens to this piece, it has taught you a lot, and us, too. I have faith that something good will come of this.
Thank you for sharing this video. It helps us less-experienced DIYers know that everything doesn’t always work out as planned.
Thank you for sharing I love this video because you respect the piece and that shows that you love what do. Have a wonderful blessed Saturday and weekend.
Its great to to know when to stop. Katie for the WIN
Whether there's a fantastic transformation or you have to call it based on the condition of the piece, we still learn a lot from you. Thanks for sharing what I can imagine is/was a very frustrating situation for you.
I feel for you! I bet you can find a skilled person to fix those drawers!
This is not a fail! The amount of work and time you spent getting this dresser up to this point is more than I would even attempt. You are a truly skilled refinisher and I think you should be happy with all you have accomplished. It is wise to know when to pass the piece on to the next step. You have so many incredible skills! Someone will make her whole and now they can and will, because you made it possible. Great work! 😊❤
I know how your feeling all to well! Ive also been there and know that sadness/ disappointment. I give you some MAD props for doing all youve done to this point on this piece. I think it takes a lot of knowing who you are as an artist and knowing what you can or cannot attempt to bring a piece back to its former glory. There is no shame in throwing in the towel when encountering pieces such as this one. ❤ I admire you no matter what!! 😊
Hi Katie. If I may, I'd like to present a different perspective (that is if your situation allows is): why don't you try to fix it yourself? Research a bit the drawer fixing process and then have a go. Of course it may not be perfect, it may even not work at all, but your knowledge and experience will get to a completely new level. And the dresser can serve as spare parts for more of your amazing projects. I totally get your frustration and discouragement. But maybe in a few days or weeks you can give it another go? After all, you're THE Katie Scott 💪🏻😉
That was an enormous amount of work already done. Its good to show all aspects of refinishing furniture, good and bad. Time to move on!!! 😊
Katie dear, I would not count this as a failure. You did a very nice job in attempting to refinish it if someone else has to finish it, so be it your work is generally excellent. I very much admire your work as a retired interior designer I would recommend your work to clients with no hesitation at all, keep up the good work
Katie, thank you for being so honest, so real, and always so inspirational. I just love you!!!
My husband and myself were watching the video together as usual, and he was just itching to help you with those drawers! I wish we lived closer. I actually got a free dresser from somebody and the drawer fronts, while beautiful, had very bad tracks, and all of the dovetails were splitting. I think heavens, my husband is a carpenter! Although I’d rather do these projects by myself because he keeps trying to butt in.😅
Thank you for sharing your journey .
As a beginner, I appreciate this. I like seeing how you work through the challenges.
Hi Katie,
Well sister I’ll hand it to you, you gave it your all!!
Major plus! I love the fact that you can admit it
was time to set it aside and not just pitch it. And
thank you so much for your honesty, you’re the best!
Until next Cya later and know we have your back.
Stay warm, happy and God Bless ❤
Really appreciate you showing this and also mentioning the hours of labour explicitly. This one really shows how much expertise there is in furniture building and restoring and that you cannot reach some peak/plateau of ultimate skill even after doing it professionally for years - there's always more to learn, I don't think a single person can do it ALL themselves expertly. Hope you find someone to collaborate with who's more from the building side rather than restoring and can provide you with what you need to finish this up. That said, the two-tone does look gorgeous already in the video.
Katie, dear Katie. Don’t be too hard on yourself. You have shown great wisdom in your decision. I have been here too with a ‘free’ dresser. The drawers were like the ones on this Eastlake. I, however, just trashed the drawers and kept the casing for something possibly in the future. You gave it the ‘old college try’ and there is much to be said there. Onward and upward. I guess we need to go shopping again next week? That was fun. Rewind and let’s have a do over!
That’s too bad. A lot of us have been there. A few years ago, I did actually take a chest of drawers to a burn pile.
It was so deceiving, but upon further inspection was not worth the work it needed.
You’re not a failure. It just happens and your “friends” here, understand.
Looking forward to your next challenge 👍🏼
Sometimes we learn more from failure than we learn from success! Good thing! Awesome video 👌.
You are doing the right thing by setting it aside for a while. I think you could come back to it refreshed and make major headway at a later date. It is a really beautiful piece of furniture.
I admire you more than you know after watching this ever so enlightening, educational and emotional video. I’m just starting out and get so incredibly frustrated and honestly, watching your videos gives me peace and encouragement. Thank you for all you do for us beginners and those
novice painters. We appreciate you!,,
We all find a mountain we can't climb....yet! The fun part is seeing what new skills you COULD learn. I wonder if youb could find a skilled woodworker who would know how to tackle this, and then apprentice under them? Would be worth checking out! Meanwhile, don't beat yourself up too much. On to the next project!
This. This is what I came into chat to say and you said it perfectly Sarah. I would only add that she doesn’t even need to limit herself locally to find someone. With zoom, etc there are craftpersons the world over who may offer to provide guidance/mentoring. AT Restoration from Estonia comes to mind immediately as well as Flippingdrawers and Mayfield Restorations from the UK. Of course I’m sure she is aware of a couple in Canada… Transcend Furniture from Nova Scotia and John’s Furniture Repair from BC, I think. Anyway, I know she will succeed (jumps off soap box and meanders away). ♥️
Love you, your honesty, and this video. Thanks for sharing that it’s not always attainable, as much as we would love it to be. ❤
I love that your sharing a fail. I seem to have a lot of trouble with my furniture at times. It’s nice to know I’m not alone. Thanks for the honesty Katie ❤❤❤
Really appreciate the teaching experience. Videos like this help the rest of us from making similar mistakes when looking for our own restore projects. Good luck with that dresser.
Truly an inspiration to us newbies out there trying to salvage every piece. It just can’t be done and knowing when to call it quits is inspirational to me. I love your videos and get so much out of them. This one taught me to check out the drawers in a piece a heck of a lot better than I typically do and walk away if I see this kind of damage. Thank you so much for sharing all your “wins” but I love that you share your “losses” too.
Keep the videos coming Kate! I love what you do!
I think someone would love it just the way you were going as long as the drawers work then the natural raw look is what it should look like. I love what you have done so far. If you can scrap and sand the top portion like the bottom…even with some paint still here and there is a great look. Please don’t paint it. You have always done your pieces justice and we know how hard you worked on this piece. Thank u for teaching us so much.
I know how disappointing it can be when you are trying to restore something that deserves to be restored. Sorry it wasn't the ending you had hoped for, but thank you so much for sharing. When I went to college my grandma had given me a solid oak dresser that my grandfather had made... She had painted it navy blue and that was painted over white. I had never refinished anything, but I wanted to get to the natural wood. I stripped and sanded it on a plastic shower curtain in the living room of my new apartment. I know there are still "bits" of paint I didn't get in the cracks of the side of the drawers, but after a week, that was all I could do. It is down to the natural oak. I did stain it with a clear stain and it still looks gorgeous (if you don't look closely to the drawer sides lol) I still have it. It even has the original wooden wheels my grandpa carved. (sorry so long winded - but that is why I love watching your channel - you not only make new memories for furniture pieces, you bring up memories too.)
You're right. Sometimes a project just isn't turning into the piece you wanted it to be. Just because it had drawers doesn't mean it has to continue having drawers. Use some of the thinner wood on the insides to create shelves and put baskets there.
You’re such an engaging presenter, with a strong work ethic and super skills, so I even if you were making toast it would be interesting. Your work is great. Onward.
Nothing wrong with setting it aside for now. Maybe you'll come back to it to practice new skills, when the time is right. Thank you for reminding us that sometimes we need to be ok making the call to tap out on a project rather than pushing through when it's not going to give a ROI. 😊
Thank you for being so transparent. It helps to know that seasoned professionals have their moments too 😊❤️
Oh, I have so been there. Thank you for a very real and honest video. ❤
You taught us a lot from this video. Thank you. I am sure there's still a future for this piece in the future
Thank you for sharing this! It helps to know that even more experienced flippers sometimes just can’t fix something
Ah, no! That opening shot was concerning. 😂😊 Especially, considering I have a very similar piece sitting my garage right now waiting for me to get to it. 😂😂😂
