    I actually liked the metal base lol spray paint it gold would of been beautiful

  • @michellethrelkeld4801
    @michellethrelkeld4801 11 месяцев назад +5

    I think just removing the center iron from the table and keeping the original legs would have updated the piece. Doing aged effect on the legs, and doing an aged wood color. Modern rustic, goes with many styles.
    The wooden legs look a bit dated.
    You do beautiful work.
    Love your videos. 👍😁

  • @jeanniehenrichs1897

    I would add boards to the to of the metal legs and side pieces to make shelves, paint the metal copper and use them in a French kitchen

  • @terripenfield5069

    You can also use baking soda and super glue to fill the screw hole. Once it hardens, it is hard as a rock allowing you to drill into the area.

    Christina, you always knock it out of the park with your furniture makeovers! Beautiful job, stunning transformation. Thanks for sharing.

  • @tericoulter9230
    @tericoulter9230 11 месяцев назад +7

    Another tip to fill a over size hole, taught to me by my carpenter father, is to fill the hole with wood glue and then stuff as many toothpicks in as will fit. Let dry and cut or break or sand off any excess at the top. The result is stronger than the original wood was.

    Incredible transformation. It looks so much better. I agree with all the steps you chose. Also I learned something about applying stain so that it absorbs better.

  • @hnycreek
    @hnycreek 11 месяцев назад +1

    Personally I would have spray painted the metal base black and not added the wood legs. Having said that, it would be cool to use that base as a garden bench.

    You can add wood scraps to the old pieces and make shelves.

  • @anthonyshurburn7560
    @anthonyshurburn7560 10 месяцев назад +1

    Why didn't you just put the screw in while the putty was still soft? No drilling necessary.
    It turned out beautiful by the way.

  • @Laura_Brock
    @Laura_Brock 11 месяцев назад +5

    Great makeover! Thanks for this accessible tutorial. Would the side panels of the old base work for outdoor plant hangers/racks?

    Gosh, removing that iron was a crime, especially because those pre-made legs are so basic. Eeek. I usually love your flips, but not this.

  • @pmg7538
    @pmg7538 11 месяцев назад

    Beautiful results, thank you. Question: would a second coat of the stripper be easier than sanding the remaining stain/varnish down? or would that have been too messy and not worth it? thank you

  • @cameronfurweger5756
    @cameronfurweger5756 Месяц назад

  • @debbiethompson6240
    @debbiethompson6240 10 месяцев назад

    Lovely table. I was thinking that the metal would look nice as wall decor. Put on the wall with photo frames around it or landscape pictures.

  • @glb360123
    @glb360123 4 месяца назад

    You need to find a metal worker so the table could be combined. A mix of wood and metal would be awesome with a nod of preserving the originality of the piece.

  • @jessicastewart9345
    @jessicastewart9345 10 месяцев назад

    How much of the stain bottle do you think you used on this product? I am surprised at how little I use when I refinish a table/end table.

  • @cherylacampora670
    @cherylacampora670 11 месяцев назад

  • @moniquebrown18

    Base might be good to build a sunken “coffee table” for outdoors with plants potted into the top. Kind of like a raised flower bed.

  • @michaelakel

  • @destindeplorable
    @destindeplorable 11 месяцев назад

    I think the legs would make a great vanity stool! The sides would make an awesome piece to a headboard/footboard or daybed arms!
    Question? How often do you find the underside of tables or the backs of dressers stained to match the flip? Just curious- I like to flip/remodel etc for myself but have noticed on flip videos the drawers, backs or underneath of items typically aren’t done. Thanks & I absolutely LOVE the new table!!!!

  • @cathyjackson5959
    @cathyjackson5959 11 месяцев назад

    Love this!! Learned that surf prep has a round sponge type thing that I can attach to my orbital sander!!! Yay!! I’m a gardener so I’d make a box (inverted coffee table) with slats for bottom (for drainage) line with black liner, poke holes int black liner (between slats, then plant succulents with recipe for succulent dirt!! Store bought is not that great. Of course do all the sanding and stuff!! Use outdoor spray paint that’s used for outdoor equipment-forget the name-ugh. As far as legs! I’d use Dixie Belles patina paints to make rusty crusty!! Then plant!! Can decorate with marbles, pine cones, rocks, plastic animals, etc!!!

  • @KimNevelzer
    @KimNevelzer 11 месяцев назад +1

    If the bolt in the legs wasn't the same size as the holes in the base, why didn't you just fill the holes in the base with the epoxy filler and then drill the correct size ?

    • @ChristinaMuscari
      @ChristinaMuscari  11 месяцев назад +2

      The table top had threaded inserts in the hole, so I would have had to pry those out to be able to fill and redrill. That seemed harder than replacing the bolts, so I went that route, but you could definitely do either.

  • @kristinaginorio1344
    @kristinaginorio1344 11 месяцев назад

  • @kathywest7380

    @madelynvazquez9006 11 месяцев назад

    Thanks for sharing, you gave me a great idea on what to do with an outdated coffee table that I bought in FBMP for only 20 dollars. The base is very similar to the one you worked on in this video, so that means I will be making a trip to Home Depot very soon 😅
