TRASHED Newer Side Tables given a second chance - Furniture Refinishing

- Refinishing these side tables made me realize I just don't want to do two specific things anymore when I am using paint. They just don't work for me anymore.

I used the Honey browser addon to tell me if a price drops on a specific item I purchase all the time, and to also tell me if the items are cheaper someplace else.

- Original Poem -
Paint not with a brush
You're in a hurry, In a rush
Smooth and clean
That is the dream
Instead of sanding
Which can be demanding
To smooth the strokes
And feeling like a slowpoke
We will change our methods
Grow and experiment
To find a better way
Finishing projects in fewer days.

This was a perfectly valuable video to post. I think it's nice when furniture refinishing channels tackle cheaper pieces of furniture. Cheap doesn't necessarily mean worthless. We have particle board furniture purchased several decades ago that my family still uses and are just as sturdy as the heavy wood pieces. Plus, it's just satisfying to see tops in that bad of condition be made buttery smooth. The final result is gorgeous, I'm sure your friend is going to love them!
Thank you Jacked Thor-so! I appreciate this comment so much. Also your name is amazing 😄
@@ReconstructingEmily You're welcome, and thank you! 😊
Loved this! That colour is beautiful. I’m with you - mineral paint all the way. Your friend is very lucky to have these! :-)
Thank you Angie! I need to still go through and find a new home for some of my unused chalk paint. (Adding that to my to do list...)
I like that you grow in your technique of Furniture restoration. Your work is always beautiful And evolving.
Thank you very much!
Timbermate is great for filling on veneer tops. You also add a little water. It fills the smallest of holes/cracks and sands well.
Thank you for the suggestion! I will add Timbermate to my list to try 😊
Good that you got those bed tables free, they were kind of the bottom of the furniture ladder. Also pleased to know that you aren't averse to changing techniques. We learn over time and what we have done in the past is not always the best plan for the future.
Very well said JP! I'm hoping with the amount of poly I put on these tables they can survive a bit longer than the factory finished pieces, but only time will tell.
@@ReconstructingEmily I've used water base satin poly on a coffee table and two shelving units I refinished years ago. They don't get heavy usage, but all still look great.
Not a fan of painting furniture but in this case, I totally agree with you. Know your friend will enjoy them...they look lovely.
Thanks so much! 😊
That color is gorgeous.
I know these weren’t originally high quality but, assuming the original owner paid good money for them, I’m always surprised at how someone people treat furniture!
Anyway, good save! I didn’t imagine these would look that good! 👍🏻 🌟
I usually don’t like painted furniture and wish people would leave nice wooden furniture well alone - however, these weren’t nice wooden antiques of any bodies future and you made them very handsome. Good save. Good choice to paint these.
I love the videos with "cheaper" pieces! And they turned out great ❤
Thanks so much 😊
Wow! I'm sure your friend is very pleased with these!!! Paint is the often best way when dealing with with tables like these. And they avoided the landfill!!! I agree about the paint sprayer! 🙂
These look great! This was the perfect treatment for these pieces. Cheers 🍸
These are gorgeous, Emily! I’m really appreciative of your evolution in techniques and products over time. I think it’s important for people to see there are many types of furniture that are fine, functional and useful. Going back many decades, furniture has been made out of many other materials other than solid wood, and they often have many more decades of use with some minor repairs and redecoration. I love the update on these tables with cleaning, prep and color changes. As always, I delight in your poetry.🌸
Well done, love the new logo, too! Haven’t completely painted a piece in awhile but I like using a sponge to paint/rub on paint. Any sponge too. At estate sales I shop the garages for supplies like sponges.
Great video! They look so rich in color and the green and gold looks perfect together.
Thank you Emma!
This was an amazing make-over.
Beautiful
Beautiful work. Nice gift for your friend.
Looking fresh 😉
Thanks Jay!
Stunning!
Turned out great, as always.
Thank you Tamara!
Great restoration!
Thank you very much!
Another excellent job! I've binge watched a few, and am now heading out to start a new project!. You inspired me 😁
Beautiful color! Amazing prep work! Awesome transformation! Thanks so much for sharing
Thank you so much!
These turned out great. Quite beautiful.
Thank you Gail!
Very pretty❤❤
Thank you! 😊
Lucky friend
They turned out great. I love the staging and that rug. When will you be doing a q&a get to know you video?
I live in a shroud of mystery! 😀 I will add it to my list 🙂
@@ReconstructingEmily ha.. I've picked up a few things but I am curious on how and why's ... lol
Ever try Durhams water putty.
I have not. How do you like it?
I recommend Durham’s also. It’s easy to use, doesn’t shrink, and hardens like bondo but without the horrific smell.
@@lorrieguinn8221 Adding to my cart 🙂
@@ReconstructingEmily I like Durham's for grain filling and it's ridiculously inexpensive! However, once you sand it, don't wet wipe it before using (just dry wipe it with a microfiber). It will come back off. You can top it in a couple of hours that way. If you wait a good 24 hours or more before painting, you are probably ok wet wiping at that point. It does continue to harden over time. (Also, just notice that Lorrie and I have the same last name. What the heck?) Thanks for the video! I love to hear your thought process!
@@VtotheG2885 Thank you for all the useful information! That is a crazy coincidence 😳 !
"S'more" 🤭🤭
😄😊
I'm sorry... but wood furniture should never be painted like this... if you can't repair the veneer then replace it.
Particle Board covered with thin cheaply manufactured veneer. Absolutely not worth it...
