I noticed recently that you are looking wonderful. I watched the podcast of you and CM again over the weekend. And you said you were going to take time for family and yourself over the summer. Well it worked wonders for you. You should schedule time every year for the family and yourself. I am 73 years old, one of your retired people with nothing to do but watch you work your magic. I've finished two pieces just for me. Keep up with what you are doing. I'm living my best life through you. I learn something new every video.

Have to say Katie you are such an inspiration.How kind you are to give back to the community. Love the hair btw.

I love thrifting with you! Your insights on what to buy are great. There were some hilarious “nostalgia” couches in the mix today. They were around in the mid-70s and were ugly then. I’m fascinated to see them up for resale 50 years later. I’m really glad you decided to get the white dresser. I’m a huge fan of painted furniture - but not like that! Poor thing is just suffocating under that mess. Whether you paint it or refinish it, I know it’ll be gorgeous when you’re done.🌸

I love the joy on the doggie's face. 💕

LOL. You talk to your dog like I talk to my cat. ❤❤

The little wooden magazine holder at 11:01 would be so cute to re-do! How fun it would be to see it in front of a roaring fireplace … 😊

[donnagelinas-jgtm]

You should make a deal with these places! They give you the piece and you bring them back refinished and the can sell them for more

Can't wait to see what you do with the old Eastlake dresser. You may find some gorgeous wood underneath that white paint...

Love your videos. Just stumbled upon one video and have been watching more! Thank you, back when I was much younger I refinished every piece of furniture in my grandparents home bc all pieces were covered with this black finish and looked awful. People don’t realize how hard it is to do this …. I like your videos bc you share so much information on what you find and what to do with the pieces you find, thanks so much!!!

You're my favorite furniture restorer to watch!
I can't wait to see the newest transformation next weekend.

What a sweet dog! So pretty too ❤️❤️❤️ Anyway, I was wondering about the “lonely” solo end tables that seem to be everywhere….. I personally never use end tables that match 100%. So, couldn’t you buy solo end tables that have at least a similar profile (not necessarily the same size) and do a remake of them using something that connects them together visually? Like the pieces I’ve seen you do before, with 1” strips of wood in a sunburst pattern over the drawers….or you’ve done like a puzzle piece design with blocks of wood. You could market the different but similar end tables as “his & hers”. Although if you’re donating them anyone would be happy to receive a well done makeover by you. Your pieces are always so pretty. Just an idea/challenge?😉. Thanks for posting your videos. I always enjoy seeing what you do. BTW, I couldn’t believe the prices on some of those pieces. Think maybe you have a few flippers in your area thus making the price of supplies go up? If you took a ride to a smaller market prepared to haul things, I’d bet you could find some cheaper but nice pieces? Maybe? Thanks again Katie, love your work.👍

I suspected you would grab that one. I thought you would get the solid wood dresser and modernize it.Thank you for inviting us along

[shelly]

Love your shopping videos. Just how you evaluate furniture for flipping is good to know. Can't wait to see how you work your magic on the dresser.

I have a friend that bought a wooden clock for like $10 and she actually tore it all apart and made it more like a cabinet for her pantry and then it came out beautiful. She added her shelves in there in the wooden clock. They modified it all, but it came out beautiful more like a country general store type thing they turned it into. It’s beautiful.

Fun trip and your sweet dog is beautiful 🐶❤️

[SJLamb-tedt]

I love the thrift with me videos at least as much as the refinishing ones. Thank you for telling us why you like a piece and why you DON’T! The don’ts are even more interesting than the do’s.

[joycejenkins]

Yes mom…. I want cookies!!! 😂 She’s adorable. Can’t wait to see what you do with the dresser.

Funny, we had the artwork you held up in our Living Room growing up. The dresser you bought will be beautiful again minus all that white paint.

[lauriepowell]

@4:12. Those floral sofas are right from my youth. It makes me shudder just to look at them. However, with the shape and wood trim they are crying out to be recovered in medium sized red Stewart plaid [without the ruffles] and pair them facing each other in a very traditional masculine room ala Ralph Lauren.

The seal bank with the goggles was so stinking cute! The dresser you got was absolutely a wonder. Now hoping for nothing bad under the paint. Maybe give us tips on how to tell if there are unwanted surprises under painted furniture.
