Katie is a Canadian who fixes and freshens up furniture from trash pickups or from thrift stores. She used to be a furniture flipper, but seems to do quite well now, so the furniture that she shows on her channel of late is usually kept for her own home or gifted back to thrift stores or friends.

While I may not always agree with the aesthetics of every refinished piece, I like that she gives new life to furniture that might otherwise end up in a landfill or burn pile.

I hope you get inspired and enjoy!
