Restoring a Vintage Side Table
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- ASMR Style video - I am sick at the moment so please enjoy the quiet.
I purchased this side table specifically so that I could use it for a small 10-gallon fish tank. It has plenty of storage, doesn't take up a lot of room, fits in with my bedroom furniture, and most importantly it has a laminate top. While laminate isn't my favorite, there is no denying the durability of it. I also attempt to do in-grain painting or faux wood painting techniques on a missing veneer area. It is a skill I need to improve upon and this was a good candidate to practice on. Hope you enjoy this furniture restoration!

Brilliant job! I think it outshines the fish tank.
Great to see a video from you again! Absolutely gorgeous piece!
I am sorry you are not well, your absence made me wonder. I hope you are 100% soon. GLAD YOU ARE BACK!
Thank you! ❤️
It’s lovely- the side table and seeing you again both!
Thank you so much 😊 ❤️
Welcome back. Was happy to see this at the top of my list.
I luv mcm. I had the same designer for a tall boy and long boy with a mirror. I luckily only had to clean it and shine it up. Very minor repairs, gave it to my niece. You did an excellent job at restoring that piece. It's gorgeous!
Looks good!
Thank you!
nice to see you again Emily! This was a great vid!
Thank you!! 😊
You got skilz, girl! And nice tools (paintbrushes)! Enjoyed watching, thanks!
So happy to see you're back! Missed you. Dresser came out beautiful!
Glad to see you back. Hope you feel better soon.
Thank you! 🥰
What a beautiful piece and you did it proud! Loved watching you do the wood grain painting and extra bonus, you showed me a new (to me) product, the Goodfilla! So great to see you back, Emily and I hope you feel better soon!
Thank you so much!
I’m so glad you’re back!
So glad to see you back, Emily! Nice piece! I just missed your entertaining commentary. I hope you feel better very soon!

Thank you ❤️ 😊
So happy to see you posted a video. I think you fix looks great
Great job! So glad you're back!
Thank you!!
This came out gorgeous!
I have one of those fan brushes in my makeup tool kit. It looks like it serves a better purpose here than on my face! Donating it to my garage... I love the black drawer pulls better than the brass! ❤
I never thought about that but I am sure it would get more use in the garage 😉
Great job! Letting the pigments dry in between coats helps keep it from getting muddy and gives it more depth. Keep up the great work!
Welcome back !! We have missed you !! ❤
Aww Thank you Kim!
You’re attention to detail is admirable. Excellent job. Thanks sooo much for sharing
First of all I love the paint can lid idea!!! Brilliant!! I've been trying to perfect wood graining too. I've been starting with the background color first, then a light coat of sealer. On top of that I use a large variety of artist bushes. Some only have a few hairs. I get better results if I do many separate layers of color with sealer in between. That way if I mess up I don't have to completely start over. If the grain looks good but the color is too dark I sand ever so slightly to lighten it up. Also if the color is off a little I find other areas on the piece to incorporate that color so it looks more a part of the whole piece rather than just the repair. Can't say I'm an expert but I hope to get there one day!! I love what you did to bring this table back to life!! Can't wait to see more of your work. Just subscribed!!
So happy to see you content you have been missed
Thank you! Happy to get back to it!
Welcome back, Emily! Still miss your voice and humor!❤️❣️👍🏻
It looks great Em! Your paint work turned out very nice. I was watching and kept tell the video to use a dry fan brush to streak it a little. ...And then you did. LOL
I was wondering if you were going to make any more videos! Welcome back! 🎉
So glad your back. The piece turned out beautifully. I am wondering if the struggle with the painted grain could be better if you are doing one layer at a time and letting it dry in-between. I don't know. My mom's and artist so I have seen some things. Hopefully that helps for next time. It's your first time and I think you did well. Practice makes perfect right. 😁
Great suggestion! Thank you!
Gorgeous !! 😊😊
Thank goodness i asked myself what Emily is up to this morning. Algorithm completely did not shoot you my way when you put this up! Welcome back!
Yeah!!!!! Let's goooooooo, just seen your IG story & popped over hella fast!!! Dirty Jersey out!!!

Very nice!
Very nice.
Fun! I just recently painted a Johnson Carper piece. Unfortunately, the laminate top was not in the same good condition as yours. I had to patch and paint. 😞 Great job on yours!
I was pretty shocked (in a good way) at how good the condition was. Thanks for sharing!
Hi stranger. Nice work. 😊
Thank you 🥰
My mom used a comb when she repaired a piece with putty and stain.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
