- I could show you the before and after of these side tables and it would seem rather uneventful. This restoration had some unhappy surprises in it, but in the end it all came together. I hope you enjoy this furniture transformation!

Original Poem-
Someday the winds will change
As everything fades
You'll say it was made
To be this way
When a shift in momentum
Captures us all in the wave
It will carry us
On to the next phase
Leaving behind all the turmoil
The chaos and strife
Pushing us forward
Into a new life.

When my mother passed away, I took a coffee table that my dad had made for her. She had found cast iron legs and so he made the table top. At some point mother must have thought it would look nice with orange faux leather stapled on it🙄……..then at some other point she had left over green self stick floor tiles. They were stuck on top of the faux leather 🤦🏼♀️. My sister said dad put the faux leather on when he made it but due to the random staples I knew mom did it. Long story short, I removed all the garbage from the top and found stained wood but due to mom also using some kind of glue on the vinyl we had to add thin oak to the top and sides. Table looks great now!
Thank you so much Lorre! ❤️ I appreciate you sharing. I bet it looks amazing!
Another high-end furniture company. When new these could have been purchased for somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,300 each. How in the heck do you find this good stuff? I'm deeply impressed. That top was certainly a struggle, but you did it proud, as always. Great redo, Emily. Bravo!
Poem at the end is the thing that gets me as much as the whole refinishing. Thank you for caring.
❤️ Thank you for your lovely comment Nancy! 😊
Who paints beautiful furniture like this??? Beautiful job restoring them. 👍
Nice save. The tables look fabulous.
Thanks so much! 😊😊
Those are stunning. I went right off this style of furniture in the 70s, but have fallen in love with it, all over again. You did an amazing job.
Wow, thank you!
Great job and I enjoyed seeing the cat posing so elegantly and proud.
Thank you Ric!!
A lot of elbow grease 💪 but so worth it in the end. Great job as always Emily! 💚
Thank you 😊 💚💚
Amazing transformation! So much work! But the result is so satisfying! Thanks so much for sharing. People get hold of paint and redo their furniture... sometimes they succeed but many times paint is unnecessary and saving the pieces gets down to stripping!
Thank you Sophia! 😊
This is a reconstruction for the ages! They are beautiful tables now. You did a wonderful job. Thank you for the beautiful poem at the end, and also the well-coordinated cat.🌸
Deborah you're so awesome! Thank you 😊 🧡
I just re-watched this video today and was reminded of the amazing work you do. These tables ended up being a labor of love for you and an education into patience and problem solving for your followers. Emily, I hope you're well, that life is treating you kindly and that you'll join us again soon with more of your creative and enjoyable projects.
These tables have such great style!! I was so happy to see the beautiful grain under the paint, then my stomach dropped when you found that disaster in the corner!! Ugh!! It was alot of work but what a great save!!
The beauty shot at the end is wonderful, of course the ginger cat helps!
Smaug just wandered over and plopped down right infront of me when I was trying to take pictures. He is aspiring to be a cat model 😀
You are a mentor among furniture refurbishers and notoriously generous to other woodworkers, thank you to furthering continued master woodworkers,
Thank you so much Deborah! Never stop learning! One can always learn something so thats what makes it fun! 🧡
It’s incredible how much work goes into refinishing a piece correctly. I will never set a glass down on a wood top without a coaster!
🤣 Thank you Ginny 😊 ❤️
Every minute you spent on these was well worth the effort (and frustration), Emily. I could feel your pain but they turned out beautiful!
Thank you 😊 ❤️
Dude that is so frustrating!! I was heartbroken when you uncovered that damaged veneer 😭 they turned out absolutely gorgeous though!!
The footage was sped up, but I had a drop the spatula moment. Followed by a Noooooo. Thank you 🧡
@@ReconstructingEmily I fucking bet!!
Chelloooooo Emily!! For a split second I thought you were starting off with the final reveal at the beginning of the video... RESPECT, RESPECT, RESPECT for seeing this through. Hoping all is well my friend, Dirty Jersey out!!!
Hekman is a company from Grand Rapids, Mi (my home town!). Grand Rapids was once known as the furniture capital. These are beautiful pieces!
I have noticed a substainal number of furniture brands from Grand Rapids! Are there still a lot of furniture makers left in the area? Thank you for sharing Patti!! 🧡
Awesome job mate👌
Thank you so much Jay! ❤️
@@ReconstructingEmily well deserved 👏
They are beautiful! IMO this finish is more in keeping with MCM style tables like these, & the distressed paint look works better with traditional or rustic pieces.
Agreed! Thanks Evie!
Ah Emily. What can I say? I actually have been trying for half hour to write a verse but my words ain't gelling! They're stunning Emily. You did such a brilliant job on them. Well done for battling through and hope you're tip top again. I'm in love with this pair. So beautiful.
Thank you Emer! 😊 Still some congestion but waaayyy better. ❤️
Emily you did such a beautiful job on these.
Thank you! ❤️🧡💛
I promise to always use coaster forever and ever. You did a great job on this.
🤣 🤣 Thank you 😊
They look so nice. Truly a labor of Love.
Thank you!
Terrific resurrection of these pieces. They look so much happier!
Thank you 😊
First of all. Great job having to switch game plans and I think, IMHO, that it paid dividends. I really like your VO's it is almost like you are really talking to the viewer. Your hard work paid off and you should be very proud of it. I noticed some new tool boxes in the background. Thanks Emily
Sooo many boxes! I am slowly starting to unpack and find homes for the items inside! The planer is huge and I think I am going to need to make it a small rolling cart. 🤔 Thank you David!
It's unfortunate they gave you so much trouble. But, I think it's a wonderful save for them. Very nice tables.
Thank you Linda!
As usual, amazing job. You made these look as new as the day they were made.
Thank you 😊 ❤️
I really admire your tenacity. This is a stunning restoration of two beautiful pieces. Thank you!
Thank you Colleen! 😊
Has this been the most frustrated you've felt on a piece? I'm glad you worked through the difficulties and perservered because they are beautiful. Loved the tables and the floral dress at the end!
The phrase emotional roller coaster is definately applicable! Thank you Adriana 😊 ❤️
Emily. That was a real job and you handled it well
Thank you Caroline 😊
Look at you refinishing in your Sunday best- that’s confidence! (Great work BTW 😊)
Thanks! 😊
A beautiful reconstruction for sure. Lots of work, but as usual, you left it better than you found it. 🙂👍
Thank you!
What a rescue project! Nicely done!
Thank you Jennifer!
Thank you so much for restoring to it back to wood. While I enjoy the truly creative work that the furniture artists create for our enjoyment and education, I have an interest in real wood and wood appearance pieces. I am looking forward to binging your work
Thank you very much!
Hi from sunny Florida ☀️ 🦋 Beautiful restoration
Wow!!! That was a lot of work, but those end tables look amazing!!!
Soooo much work! I really think making a new top would have been easier, but work with what you have! Thank you 😊
Bravo! I love all the choices you made right down to the shiny lacquer. Beautiful.
Thank you Josie!!
So much work went into these, but the end result is amazing. Plus I love your fluffy orange model
Thank you! Smaug was upset I was paying more attention to the furniture than him. He is a good communicator 😀
@@ReconstructingEmily His name is Smaug? That's Awesome!
You see what’s really there. Amazing!!! 👏
Thank you very much!
Your diligence is impressive! Nicely done 👏
Thank you kindly!
OMG I don't think I could have done all that! Fantastic job 👏
I didn't think I could do all of it! Even knowing what I needed to do, it seemed overwhelming. Thank you ❤️
So beautiful. You really saved these.
Thank you! 😊
Nicely done, Emily. The tops are a very close match.
Thank you D Shey! 🧡
Fantastic! 👏
Thank you 😊 This was a challenging one!
Wow. Just wow.
So much better! Lovely transformation!!
Thanks so much! 😊
I love painting over my mistakes. My house has walls that are 2" thicker now.
🤣 🤣 Thats a lot if mistakes! Probably good for energy efficiency though!
Lots of work for you, but they are stunning-Love them!
Thanks so much 😊
Gorgeous transformation
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful restoration! I appreciate your videos and what I'm learning from them. Thank you.
Thank you Toni! 😊
They turned out beautiful!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Debbie!
Oh My Goodness! That had a little bit everything! So sad the damage that was done but you did a great job bringing these back to life! And I love your big orange cat stealing the show there at the end.😆❤️
Definately had a lot of different skills that came out for these tables! Smaug is not afraid to be the center of attention! I think he was getting tired of me taking pictures of furniture 😆 Thank you Alicia!
@@ReconstructingEmily Smaug!! I love it! 😆😆 He's a cutie. Thanks for sharing him with us!
Hi friend 👋
I just finished your video 😀
I LOVE this side tables now!! awesome transformaiton :)
Thank you!!
Wonderful job they turned out stunning ☺️
Thanks so much 😊
Great job on these! They were tough!
Thank you Carren!
You’re so right! The winds of change are here, the change will be beautiful! Just like your tables. I enjoy watching to keep my mind off the chaos and to inspire me to redo the MCM pieces I’ve collected over years. Thanks for what you do. ❤️😊
Thank you for watching! ❤️
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Thank you Verna!
They turned out great!
Thank you Fransien!!

Wonderful job,,they are beautiful
Thank you Dodd! I am glad you like them 😊
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Darn - I wish now I hadn't given my exercise weights away... Good information on how to fix veneer on top of swollen particle board, thanks.
I need more of those big plates. Better for covering a larger area. Thanks for watching Lee!
WOW!!
Pretty!
Thank you!
Gorgeous Transformation !!
Oh Emily! So much work but they are gorgeous! Definitely worth saving!
Thank you Gail! 😊 ❤️
You did a great job on these side tables. 😊😊
Thank you Vickie! 😊
Love this Emily! So much work, but they turned out beautiful.
Thank you Walessa! 😊
Beautiful work! I enjoy both painted wood, but classic walnut furniture is a shame to paint
Thank you Kristin! 😊
Awesome work, so glad you were able to restore these. Loved your little poem, I came to expect to hear one in your videos!
Thank you Julie! 😊 ❤️
Beutiful! 🙌😍
Thank you so much Emma!!
What a beautiful set you turned these into! Great work!
Thank you both so much 🧡
Great Job!!
Thank you Patti!! 😊
These turned out beautifully Emily. I love watching your show 🥰
Thank you so much Katherine! I really appreciate it 🙏
Beautiful❣️
Thank you! 😊
Great video that honestly takes the viewer through the problems and solutions that you encountered with this project. Thank you!
Lots of thoughts behind this one! Hopefully it is helpful 🙂
Nice job!!!
Thank you Diana!
If you ever end up with any of my furniture after I'm gone (I've restored all of my mid-century furniture), I promise you won't find one water ring on any of it. Anyone who visits and has a drink, a coaster is automatically handed to them and are told to always use it. That's a pet-peeve of mine,too.
Love this! 😊
Beautiful. Well done.
Thank you very much!
Wow!! You did so much work on these and they look great.
Can I assume that you like QCS better than KwikStrip?
At this point I am pretty happy with it. The fact I could more readily get paint out of the woodgrain and water neutralization really sell it for me! I have some other eco Friendly stuff to try that I snagged for cheap. I will try it out soon! Thank you Rhiannon!! 😊
GODDESS

There’s the spatula again 😂
It is useful! The metal scraper doesn't have a good angle for lifting... Plus it was $0.50 at the thrift store. Good buy!
@@ReconstructingEmily whatever works right?
@@Flippingdrawers 💯
Did you just water ring shame me?? I do declare! 😆😆
Tables: thanks for removing the paint....we can breathe now. 😘
WWW: 👍❤
Me: great job!!
Cat: ....*eye roll*...
I water ring shamed myself too... I know I definitely forgot more than a few cups as a kid! Thank you BB 😊
@@ReconstructingEmily ✌
A lot of work. You revived those poor, abused tables!
Thank you Donna 😊
That was certainly a labor of love. I’d have burned them when I found that hole in the veneer.
Hahaha 😆 😂 For a minute I was considering it.
Wow! You pulled a rabbit outta that hat!
True Story! 🐇 👒
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
A lot of work, but it paid off
Thank you 😊
Boop...like!
