  • We decided to upgrade our dining table that we got at a yard sale years ago, but new dining tables were expensive, so I decided to give our dining table a makeover.

    Gorgeous work and how great you restored something old instead of throwing it away. Here's a little trick I learned from my dad, you can fix screw holes that are stripped or just too big with some toothpicks and wood glue. It's a cheap and easy method that works great :)

    I'm an artist who is also conversant in faux paint finishes. Your mistake was to stop your brushstroke at the edge of the table. You should continue with one long sweeping stroke that starts before the edge and continues beyond the edge of the surface. Then you won't get those raggedy-looking edges to the finish. Best regards. I love to see people taking on artistic projects of all kinds.

    Don't be hard about yourself not fixing those cracks earlier. Sometimes the cracks are not fully revealed until the first top coat goes on. A primer coat can look so blotchy that the wood flaws are less evident.

  • @pippadawg7037
    @pippadawg7037 5 дней назад +1

    It is beautiful and I love the restraint you used with the distressing. Some manufactures let you choose your distressing preferences and believe it or not this set would be under " heavily distressed." Sadly most DIY RUclipsrs have an all or nothing attitude on distressing. Either they go way too far and make a mess or they add none at all. Most pieces with notable exceptions need some degree of distressing or the look is too fresh. Most of the best furniture pieces out of North Carolina (Henredon, Drexel, Hickory Chair, etc) are so lightly distressed most people don't even see it. My daughter was studying architecture/design, said she didn't like distressing adding, "None of your furniture is distressed." I assured her they were. She was amazed when I pointed out the marks, dents and very light specks. You did a great job.

    You did a really good job. 👏 it looks 100 times better. And I just love repurposed items instead of buying new. Pretty much all of my bedroom furniture is thrifted and painted to match. And looks distressed in one way or another. My living room is all thrifted except my hide a bed couch and a couple storage ottomans that blend with everything else. My tv and modem/ router console is an old radio or possibly tv cabinet that had all its electronic parts removed but works perfectly as my electronics cabinet. The hole in the back where the antenna came out is the hole where all the electronic cords come out to connect to the tv which sits on top or the cords go out to plug into the electricity or to my computer. So all the cords are hidden and well organized in this beautiful wooden cabinet. I got the cabinet for free from a friend who got it for free from someone else. My desk in my office was a curbside rescue. Very simple and sturdy desk that was this ugly mustard yellow with glitter mixed in. I covered it in layers of sea foam green milk paint to match the decor in my office. But I left a fringe of the glitter on the side edges and the wooden knob. It looks intentionally painted that way. I’m so happy with it. Thanks for your inspo
