Question, is that bottom piece original to the table? It seems like a different color. Isnt 4 months equivalent to 30 percent? Just wondering. I love the end result! Also thank you so much for not smacking your camera with your hands for a transition. Love your channel
OMG Kathryn you are wearing the cutest dress to Home Depot. You look like you're going to brunch. Thanks for brightening my day with your video. YOU ARE ALWAYS ENOUGH!
That table really came out beautifully. You did such a great job. I'm looking for a table about that size for my entry way. I've been debating though because I have a cat, so I would have to be careful what I would display on it.....Love all your idea's Kathryn. ❤❤
Love how this came out! So pretty! Bleach is awesome to use in this manner. It really brings out the beauty of the wood. Just a safety moment, in case people aren't aware.( it's the nurse in me) Bleach can react dangerously with other chemicals, mainly ammonia. Also, please wear safety glasses, bleach can damage eyes if accidentally splashed in them (rinse eyes immediately with running cold water & seek medical care). Thanks for another great video!
Can cause allergies and sensitivity too. I hate the smell of bleach, gives me a headache and I develop a contact allergy when it touches my skin plus irritates my throat.
Yes, bleach and vinegar (she mentioned some use vinegar in the water to wash off the bleach) creates chlorine gas much like it does with ammonia, which can be lethal if inhaled in high amounts.
I used to clean my back deck with bleach. I realized many, many years ago, when I was pouring SHOCK into my pool , I spilled some on the decking. I watched it soak into the wood, which was cedar, and was absolutely amazed at what it looked like. The spill was maybe half dollar sized and the wood was sparkling clean and GORGEOUS! Well, pool shock is basically bleach. Now, I had no intention of using pool shock at $17.00 a gallon. So I bought some store brand ( Dollar Tree ) bleach, a couple of cheap paintbrushes and proceeded to clean my decking. I always used deck cleaner, which is also very expensive, to clean my deck. I also stained some of my decking with a mahogany stain. That was used for the seating area. No more. I was convinced that this was going to work! I was also convinced by an area the size of a half dollar, that this was going to be beautiful. Well, my husband was shocked when he came home that evening. He wanted to know who had replaced the decks and how much it cost. I told him that I did it, by myself, and the cost was about $18. My sitting area was 16’ x 24’. A separate deck ran around the pool and was about 5’ wide. The pool was about 15’ x 30’. Oh it was a LOT of work. The good news is, when I got REALLY hot and sweaty, I could dip in the pool. The bad news was I didn’t want to get out🤣 Well, the decks came out gorgeous, no professional needed, and not a lot of money. My husband was in shock. I kinda was too. It really looked like I had it professionally done. All with bleach. 🤣🤣🤣
The table turned out so much more beautiful free of that yellowed varnish. I need that square sander! 🤣 You have inspired me to give this technique a try. I think it would turn my old nightstand (and drop leaf table, and bookcase etc) from drab to fab.
I love re-purposing furniture! Buying a hand sander was a game changer!! This turned out beautiful. I have never tried this technique, but now I need to.
I need that sander in my life! This girl loves power tools! 😉 The table looks so amazing Kathryn! I'm definitely motivated to try this type of my project myself! 🌺
@@michelleandino7309 Some people get bored of sanding... I AM ADDICTED to it. It's awesome!! U look young in ur thumbnail... which is awesome bc the younger u start the better at the craft u will be!!!
@Creative Renewal Yeah Girl I love that sander!!! I use it all day everyday. Yaye ur a reseller too!!! It's so much fun... I slow down in the summer tho bc UNFORTUNATELY we are in Arizona (1 year left, military family) and in the summer we reach Temps of 123 and I simply can't tolerate the heat. It sucks.
A couple of weekends ago my daughter need a night stand. I had one but wrong color so we sand it and cleaned it and painted it. It was a very sturdy wood piece and I prefer older wood furniture too. Thank you for sharing tips, and being so encouraging. God Bless
I'm pretty intimidated by furniture repair/altering in general, but I'm definitely interested in the how-to. This was super fun to see and I appreciate all the advice and info about the steps needed to be taken, start to finish. Love it. I like the color so much better once you bleached it. It brightened up the piece beautifully! Yay!
I love ur channel. I just wish your videos were longer so we could enjoy u even more! Since the videos are posted just once a week. Ur inspiration and hacks and tips are always so fantastic! Thanks for sharing your creativity!
I’ve been watching your channel for years now, and my friend if there’s one thing I can say about every episode or upload you bring to RUclips. It’s that you NEVER disappoint! I love every craft and design/decor/and update a remodel you touch! Even if I sometimes curl my lip at something during the process. I can honestly say once you have finished, I’ve never not LOVED everything you do and present when you finish. So thank you!
I have that exact sander, and I love it, but I really recommend you start with an 80-grit sandpaper (then 120, then 220) to cut your sanding time down.
Great result! Good job! Glad to see you wear a respirator for the sanding. You need a real respirator for the bleach application. Your health is so precious, protect it to the fullest. Thanks again.
It look’s great! Who knew bleach would work so beautifully. Great job.! I love your bubbliness. I’ll bet you can lift anybody’s spirit, your such a joy to watch. Ty.❤️❤️
In regards to your comment at 5:33, please be very careful about using vinegar after using bleach. Vinegar and bleach mixed together make chlorine gas which can be extremely dangerous. At the very least, wipe it down with water and let it dry completely before going in with the vinegar, but in all honesty, unless you know what you're doing, I'd avoid mixing these two together.
I love this because my daughter has a table that my Mom gave her and she doesn't think she wants it anymore. I wasn't sure what I was going to do to it but I knew it is a handmade piece and I was taking with me when we move cross country this year . Now I know! Thank you for another great idea , you are full of them 😀 . Love & prayers 🙏🏻 ❤
This came out great! And I love that you did this outside because bleach fumes are toxic and bleach contains a high percentage of water so if there are any mold spores in the furniture that water will feed the roots of the spores if not thoroughly dried out and cause the mold to grow back.
I am brand new to your channel but am so drawn to your sweet and uplifting spirit ! Thank you for being a light in the dark for people who need it. I'm off to check out some of your other videos.
I have an all wood island and I'm going to sand it and paint it. Your video makes me more confident about starting on it. Thanks for sharing. Take care. ❤️
My Queen Anne style chair I picked up cheap 2nd hand… I tried painting it, paint/sand distressing it but just wasn’t happy with either only to be disappointed again when I decided to sand right back and discover a hideous pretty much orange wood. At a loss I thought I’d give this a go and wow. It came out better than I had imagined!!!! Thank you
No matter what you are going through in life, wake up, and thank God for blessing you with another day in life. Have a Beautiful and Blessed day and week.
Oh I LOVE THIS!!! I’ve never been an oak fan because of the yellow undertones and the grain never seems right but after sanding and bleaching your table has none of those issues. Thank you so much for trying and sharing this, I’ve learned something new today - and that’s a day well spent!!
You always make me feel better , especially if I've had a really bad day! Thank you for your positivity and your affirmation at the end of every video. Have a wonderful day, and God bless you!
You need a dremmel! I have a good one that has a few speeds. So versatile! I use it to get in grooves of furniture, grind metal bits off of some of my projects, and to grind down my pupper’s hard nails. (It was cheaper that a good nail grinder too!)
Great tutorial. As someone who pants furniture, you can get this effect beautifully with a white wash. Buy a creamery white, add to a bowl, add water to the paint, then paint and wipe, paint and wipe.
It's gorgeous, I've done this a long time ago to a piece that even after 5 sanding's was still stained from a reddish wood stain it really works. I stopped using oil base polyurethane because over time it yellows I'm going to try the water based polycrylic finish you used thanks for this and the info
Love how the top and legs turned out! (The bottom shelf had such a weird grain pattern that was nothing like the top... was wondering if anything could be done to subdue the garish grain pattern on the shelf and bring it more in line with the way the top looks? I suppose if the table was a more quality piece you could veneer over it...? Probably not worth the cost.)
I love your attitude! When you picked that table, I was thinking….. oh no, why that one? Then the “after” reveal, I thought…. OMG, it’s perfect!!!! Thank you for making this video and inspiring all of us to not limit ourselves.
Nice results! It is a good idea to neutralize bleach: otherwise, the chlorine will remain in the pores of the wood and weaken the fibres. (Same reason you wouldn't leave your clothes to dry in bleach.) Either thorough rinsing (not ideal as it would raise the grain more) or an acid (like vinegar) will prevent long-term issues.
With no dust extraction... 2/10 dust collection rating. Nothing quite like wearing bleached wood dust for the day... How about wearing gloves when handling chemicals like bleach? Or long pants for leg protection? I'll give a 3/10 for putting gloves on @ some point but points were taken for the short dress.
I didn’t think I look at habitat for humanity and I surely didn’t know they had their items online! I’ll be looking tonight! Thanks for another great one!!
@@jmsl910 I use Behr paint. That paint has primer in it already. It's also a good quality paint. Majority of the time I use semi gloss, because I like to be able to wipe away any spills. Chalk paint tends to keep dust, and I personally don't like that. First I clean the surface with TSP, it's a solution to clean wood. I allow it to dry. Them I sand the furniture just as she did in the video. After sanding I wipe again with rubbing alcohol. Let dry. Then paint, 2 coats works well.
Your table looks amazing...you & your husband did a wonderful job! As always Kathryn, thank you so much for sharing all of your hard work & tips! Stay safe, healthy and positive! God bless you and your family!🙏❤🇺🇸😊
I love this!! My bed and armoire/chest is dark, dark oak. I thought about painting white. This will look beautiful! Thank you for another fantabulous idea! What is the paint color on your walls? I’m about to paint my house. Changing a lot around here! I’m painting the stained trim white and want a nice, neutral color to go on the walls. It looks taupe but was wondering about exact color. Thank you! God bless!
Beautiful! I have things in my home that would like great sanded and bleached. We were thinking about buying new pieces just to bring our decor up to date! No need now just a little elbow grease! Thanks so much for all you do!!!!
NOW I know what I will do with the 3-piece oak set we have!!! I have been wanting to change 😢them. This look is perfect. Thank you so much for this video!!
I thrifted a small (14”diam?) round oak table with 2 shelves. I’ve never attempted refinishing or painting anything-not even a wall-so I’m super intimidated. I live in an apt. so will have to wait for several nice days in a row to complete outdoors. Wish me luck!
I worked for a property manager who managed over 200 units. I used to sand and finish the used furniture. I got paid 150 for the kitchen sets for 4 hours of work. I only worked on solid tables. Sometimes you can take a table where it's chewed around the edges and use ash for a bullnose. I use a red cedar stain to finish.
Wow!!! So beautiful!!! I am literally walking around my house right now trying to find something to do this to! I think a trip to habitat for humanity in gastonia is in store this weekend. Thanks Kathryn!!❤
I absolutely love your videos. You are so amazingly helpful and such a pleasure to watch. I can't wait to try this on my old oak book shelf. Thank you thank you. 😊 💕
Thank you for the encouragement over the sander. I really want to be good at DIY and the encouragement is so helpful. Maybe you could recommend a nail gun??
That table is just beautiful. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you come up with. You are just so creative and as cute as can be! I just love watching your videos and seeing your beautiful family.
She be rocking out! While I love love❤ this channel…im a woodworker that does a lot of sanding…this takes a good while and physical energy. Consider an orbital sander as it is much more aggressive for removing polyurethane and stain, some have locking discs, that don’t pop off as easily & it will allow you to do more sanding in a shorter time. The price is comparable (if not lower)Also, there are some low fume removers that makes the job easier in the short period of time to help those who may struggle with doing this kind of work. In addition to gloves & goggles… please do this outdoors and wear a high quality respirator mask.😊
Peroxide works too, but perhaps not as well. Though, it doesn't have the noxious fumes. That table looks great, by the way. And you are a delight to watch. Thanks!
Omg! Usually I don’t leave comments in anything but man! This is so cute. I have a piece like that and I would like to try out your technique. I love your videos. Sometimes my husband picks on your videos too and watches with me. Thanks for sharing. Xoxo
I just love your energy, your my kind of a girl, I could have a ball just thrift shopping & doing projects with you.Keep sending your great jobs to help us that want to figure it out,Great Job
GET OUT!!! this is sssooo cool!! I have been wondering what to do with my table top that just looks old and worn...I was going to paint..now I am gonna bleach it!! Very fun..thank you so much...love your table too!
I'm a fan of you even my 6 year old subscribed to your channel... You are so Great at what you do. I have learned so much from you and always trying your ideas and making your projects ☺️
I love refinishing furniture...Thanks for the tip about the sander, the bleach and the polycrylic...wish I had your suggestions a few months ago when I refinished a bookcase. I did all the sanding by hand...whew! AND...my piece did turn out redder than I wanted, but it still looks nice.
My swing my daddy made me 30 years ago hanging in our tree -he used stain and varnish which has been peeling for years. I think it is time for a makeover……Thank you! 🎨🖌
How do you come up with so many idea 💡! I love this channel. Your the only one that I re watch to learn and do. I’ve used so many hacks of yours. I’ve never seen my swifter the same way! I dust my walls with it cause of you!!!
That golden oak furniture has great lines, I see so many nice solid pieces at the thrift that just need a lil work and they will look so modern like how yours came out, like so much more expensive looking and not as dated.
Love it!!! 2 questions please - 1). if one wanted to start flipping thrifted furniture do you think this is a lot of effort and cost (sanding paper / poly / materials) to really make a decent profit and 2). what if you cant't go outside to dry the pieces between coats besides taking longer would not drying in the sun affect the result? Thank you again this is a great video! xo

Did you pour on your bleach, or did you paint it on?
@@dnsgilbert09 she didn't reply but she did mention that she bought some paintbrushes so I'm thinking that's what she did
Perfect … accident 👍
Thank you. In going to try. Did you dilute it with water? Or just straight bleach
Be careful with bleach. It is caustic and too much and too frequent use can corrode or damage wood, metal and concrete and compromise their integrity.
The table turned out so much more beautiful free of that yellowed varnish. I need that square sander! 🤣 You have inspired me to give this technique a try. I think it would turn my old nightstand (and drop leaf table, and bookcase etc) from drab to fab.

I love this so much. I have two solid wood end tables I want to try this on. Thank you so much for all of your positive vibes you radiate!
You can do it!
Hello Connie
I love your enthusiasm !👏💐🤗
This table looks awesome
Fantastic makeover Kathryn! This is one of my favorites!
That table is just beautiful. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you come up with. You are just so creative and as cute as can be! I just love watching your videos and seeing your beautiful family.
Yes!!! I needed a boost of Kathryn energy for today 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😁
Oh my goodness! This turned out beautiful!
She be rocking out! While I love love❤ this channel…im a woodworker that does a lot of sanding…this takes a good while and physical energy. Consider an orbital sander as it is much more aggressive for removing polyurethane and stain, some have locking discs, that don’t pop off as easily & it will allow you to do more sanding in a shorter time. The price is comparable (if not lower)Also, there are some low fume removers that makes the job easier in the short period of time to help those who may struggle with doing this kind of work. In addition to gloves & goggles… please do this outdoors and wear a high quality respirator mask.😊
Your table turned out beautiful!! What a cool look!! ❤️☺️✌️
This is exactly the color I want my bathroom vanity but I did not know what I could use to get the yellow out. This is great! I need to try this
Did you end of doing it? I’m wanting to do the same with my bathroom vanity
@@SamSung33377 yes I did! Turned out amazing & we so many compliments on it
That transformation was amazing. I may try that someday.
Another reason I like this style sander is I have small hands & feel like I have better control of it. 😊
It is definitely easier to control than some others I've tried!
Thanks for the tips on redoing furniture. I was trying to find how to do it.
Peroxide works too, but perhaps not as well. Though, it doesn't have the noxious fumes.
That table looks great, by the way. And you are a delight to watch. Thanks!
Omg! Usually I don’t leave comments in anything but man! This is so cute. I have a piece like that and I would like to try out your technique. I love your videos. Sometimes my husband picks on your videos too and watches with me. Thanks for sharing. Xoxo
My daughter has my old dresser from when I was a kid in her room. This would be the perfect update for it!
I sent this video to my daughter because she has my old dresser, and I was thinking the same thing.
I’m so glad I found you! I have my mom’s small kitchen hutch, think I’ll try this technique, thank you!!
So cool. 😎. All my furniture needs new life !! I’m going to show this to my hubby.
LOVE this idea! Thank you for just being you! 🥰
I love how this turned out.
I just love your energy, your my kind of a girl, I could have a ball just thrift shopping & doing projects with you.Keep sending your great jobs to help us that want to figure it out,Great Job
Beautiful piece of furniture. Thank you for your videos. Love each one. Incredible work. ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, what a transformation! Great job!
You have given me confidence to try bleaching a piece of furniture. Thanks.
GET OUT!!! this is sssooo cool!! I have been wondering what to do with my table top that just looks old and worn...I was going to paint..now I am gonna bleach it!! Very fun..thank you so much...love your table too!
I wanted to try my 12 years old night stand ! Thanks for the tips it will help me lot!❤️
Can't wait for some warmer weather, I have an old dresser I want to try this on. 😀
I'm a fan of you even my 6 year old subscribed to your channel... You are so Great at what you do. I have learned so much from you and always trying your ideas and making your projects ☺️
I love refinishing furniture...Thanks for the tip about the sander, the bleach and the polycrylic...wish I had your suggestions a few months ago when I refinished a bookcase. I did all the sanding by hand...whew! AND...my piece did turn out redder than I wanted, but it still looks nice.
My swing my daddy made me 30 years ago hanging in our tree -he used stain and varnish which has been peeling for years. I think it is time for a makeover……Thank you! 🎨🖌
I would love this little cabinet! You did a gorgeous job! Thank you!
How do you come up with so many idea 💡! I love this channel. Your the only one that I re watch to learn and do. I’ve used so many hacks of yours. I’ve never seen my swifter the same way! I dust my walls with it cause of you!!!
That golden oak furniture has great lines, I see so many nice solid pieces at the thrift that just need a lil work and they will look so modern like how yours came out, like so much more expensive looking and not as dated.
You really elevated that piece. It was very ordinary before. Now it looks very chic.
Wow!!!, I never would have thought to use bleach. I will have to find something to try this on. I love it. Thx for showing about the bleach.💕💯👍
Love it!!! 2 questions please - 1). if one wanted to start flipping thrifted furniture do you think this is a lot of effort and cost (sanding paper / poly / materials) to really make a decent profit and 2). what if you cant't go outside to dry the pieces between coats besides taking longer would not drying in the sun affect the result?
Thank you again this is a great video! xo
LOVE IT!!!!! Definitely want to give it a try! 😍
But DO NOT add vinegar to bleach
The table is beautiful! Anxious to try this technique now.
This is my first time watching one of your videos and I love your spunk and energy and the details of the content. I followed the channel after like 10 seconds in.
Kathryn, your table makeover is so beautiful! Honestly, you are so talented. Great video! ❤
Thank you for being here 😊
