hey guys welcome or welcome back if this is your first time here
my name is katie i am the owner and artist behind salvaged by k scott after working on
so many incredible furniture flips this year i thought it would be super fun to take a
look back at the top 5 most viewed furniture projects here on my channel in the year 2020
for this video i've teamed up with a really fantastic group of diy youtubers who have also
put together their own top five videos and i will leave a link to that entire playlist
in the description box down below all right let's get right into it i'm going to start you guys off
with project number one these modern bohemian nightstands this video is the video that really
turned me into a youtuber this year unfortunately i was a rookie when i uploaded this video and had
some problems with music copyrights and the video as it is right now is missing a lot of information
i picked up this matching set of really chunky outdated 70s nightstands for 15 a piece at my
local thrift store and i knew that they still had lots of potential i removed the dated
hardware from the doors and attached some new legs to give these pieces a little extra height
after scuff sanding these and filling in the old hardware holes i went ahead and
gave these nightstands a few coats of country chic paint in the color
licorice which is a beautiful matte black and to modernize these i decided not to
add any hardware back to the doors instead i installed these really cool little push latches
that make the doors open and close i love how these turned out
next up is a charming mid-century modern style nightstand that i picked up from the thrift
store for only five dollars it was definitely well loved but i'm really pleased with how it
all came together in fact this nightstand is one that we kept and is now living in my son's room
after removing the hardware from this piece i also removed this
decorative molding to give the drawers a really clean sleek look
this guy got painted in country chic paint in the color wondrous
and top coated with some verithane diamond wood finish in a satin sheen
i wasn't a huge fan of the shape of the legs that came on this table so i just
had my husband rip them down on our table saw and i sanded them down to bare wood
project number three was my own creation out of an old china hutch top i actually refinished the
bottom half of this old china cabinet and sold it as a standalone media console so for the top
piece i thought it would be fun to add some legs and turn it into its very own piece of furniture
do
i have really good luck selling black furniture pieces and you guys seem to love them here on
youtube as well this got painted in some art mines chalk paint in the color onyx which i applied with
my gravity fed hvlp pneumatic spray gun i will be sure to leave links to the full versions of all of
these videos down in the description box so that you can see the entire process start to finish
so
project number four might be my favorite flip of the year it is a beautiful mid-century modern
trash to treasure story i picked up this beautiful laminate mid mod piece for free at the side of the
road it had definitely been well loved over the years and was in need of a new fresh paint job
the first coat of green paint that i sprayed on this dresser
wasn't exactly what i had envisioned so i went into my paint stash and mixed up a custom color
a bit of a darker emerald green from some paints i had left over from other
projects
i went ahead and installed some new gold poles on the tops of all six drawers
and let me tell you she was a
showstopper
the last piece that you guys gave me a ton of love on this year
was this beat up ikea dresser this was another one that i found for free at the side of the road
and it had already been painted in some latex that was just peeling up all over the place
so i completely stripped it down and then gave it the salvaged by k scott
touch
do
i tried out a whole bunch of new things on this dresser that i had never done before using tools
and techniques that i'm not super familiar with the first thing i did was use a hole saw to cut
out finger pulls on the tops of all the drawers so that i didn't need to add any hardware then i used
a jigsaw to cut out a rectangle in the top drawer so that i could add some super on trend cane
webbing
i gave the whole dresser a few coats of black chalk paint
and sealed everything up then it was time to add my cane
like i said this piece was a huge learning experience
there are tons of things that i would do differently next time
but all in all i'm pretty pleased with how it turned out it's not perfect but that's okay
