What do you think this table would sell for in a store? I am so glad I found this & was able to keep this one!
Upwards of two to three thousand dollars.
Maybe in the $2,000- $5,000 range, depending on the maker? I love how this turned out! Makes me want to redo my dining room table. 😍
Easily 2k-4k.
Love how it turned out and glad you could keep it!
If this table were bought new at today's prices, I would say it would cost between $4,000-$6,000 (table), and each chair would be $1,000. So, total $10,000-$12,000.
We tend to underestimate the value of what we have. Now, the people you sell to might not pay that much for new furniture. So, when selling, you have to make them realize the superb quality of the furniture and what something comparable would cost them today. Maybe that will help people be willing to pay a more fair price for the beautiful work you and other refinishers are producing.
I wasn’t crazy about the top until you did the black paint with it. It’s stunning. Love love love it!
Me too. I kept shaking my head lol. Ending was beautiful ❤
They do not even sell furniture of this quality. You did a superb job refinishing it!
Wow, thank you! I appreciate that!
Never mind the table being expensive. The cane chairs are a fortune nowadays too!! Just 1 chair can cost around $300-$500. Table came out beautiful.
Congrats on a great buy and an incredible makeover! Back in 1975 I would guess a set this size would be well over $1000. Today’s prices? Probably more around $3-4K. I’ve been watching you for about a year and am so proud of you and how you truly did turn lemons into a huge pitcher of the sweetest lemonade. 🍋🍋
Oh wow! What a wonderful comment! I’m so happy you are here! Thank you!
mine was same area looked like this and I paid over 2000 when tired of it kids took it and its still being passed around. It was with a hutch and was 2500 plus tax. I replaced the covers eventually and looked brand new.
I had a set almost like it in 1984 cost 5 grand with hutch buffet
The idea of matching the table top to the cushions is absolutely brilliant! You would probably pay ten to twenty times more for a set like this from a reputable furniture store. Bravo!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!
I would of reupholstered the seats to include changing out the foam since the chairs are 49 years old. You would be surprised how yucky the cushion foam is. The colors you chose for the upgrade definitely pop.
My thoughts exactly 💯
Some of the most beautiful woodgrain I have seen. So many of us dislike working with tables and chairs, so it was a pleasure to watch you cover every single detail. No corners cut here. Excellent job. Great video!
Thank you so much 😊 ultimate compliment from one of my favs!
I was a bit iffy on the wash until I saw it all together and finished. Looks beautiful.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!
Love how this turned out!! The contrast between the black and natural is awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!!
I am new to your channel and I love giving furniture a second life. I liked to see each step of refurbishing this dining room set. Thanks so much!
Just STUNNING! It Turned out ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!
❤the black trim around the table and base ,and those chairs look GORGEOUS
I love the contrast between the top and the black!
Those brass plates you removed weren't just decorative. They protect the base from scuff marks.
I love brass details
This woman knows her primitive paint job. But she lacks in taste and other knowledge.
A beautiful job
That brass would have added detail to the legs.
So beautiful!!! Looks just like it’s out of West Elm or Pottery Barn!!! Stunning 🤩
Yes! Thank you!
I would never have thought of having the natural top to match the cushions!! Looks so nice !
This is one of my favorite flips that you have done. It surely was a lot of work, but it was so worth it. I agree that the seat cushions and the top just elevate this table. It is hard to say how much it would cost to buy something this size . It is so unique and it is better than the quality of so much of the furniture today. Congrats!!
@mariedrotar3215 Thank you! I really appreciate you being here! Hope to see you next time!
Omg I wasn't keen on it till the reveal, but then that black brings out the dark colors in the wood and it works perfectly. I learned so much.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed
Aunt lois had a set like this , she wore it out with entertaining her friends and loved family members, she was quite the maven in the stirri g up memories department. I miss her.
I usually love Bombay mahogany stain and it's my go-to. But I wanted to take a minute and say that I love the look! Make over looks so elegant and would fit into most design schemes. Keep those videos coming!
Thank you @enchantedgothicglamourwith8436! This makes me smile! So happy to hear!
Oh my goodness ! This is absolutely beautiful ! The colour contrast is spectacular. This has to be my favourite piece I've seen you do. As always,.Love & Blessings from Nova Scotia, Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️ xo
Thank you @sylviamacdonald7625! This makes me smile! So happy to hear! Hope to see you next time!
@@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture You will definitely see me next time. I never miss a video.xo
I wouldn't mind owning that table... and I am so fussy. God job! Love the mat black on the chairs.
Table and chairs look great,now your hutch needs the same elevated redo.
it got one! lol thanks for watching
Think it’s lovely but I would have elevated a bit more by beige washing just the cane portion of the chairs so they don’t look simply spray painted. Also that would tie into the neutrals of the wood top and the fabric decks of the chairs, not to mention the other lighter elements in your room. Just my two cents worth. But lots of dedication and work went into this. You are a soldier!
Thanks so much! I was worried bc the cane was almost 50 yrs old how much I could sand for best adhesion and since it will get decent use, how would paint stand up over time w/o touch up. Plus the emerald trim paint can crack if it gets poly on it (it has one built in) so I would have had to be super careful to poly the cane by hand. You can tell I weighed my options on that one. Lol I definitely considered it.
Wow! Lots of hard work but definitely worth it! It looks gorgeous 🤩
Your table is amazing and I would guess a $2,700 price at the very lowest.
This is exactly my 86 year-old mothers dining room table! She still misses it.
That was at the height of the great furniture manufacturers in NC. They made beautiful furniture.
Wow!! The top and cushions just sparkle against that black paint! So stunning. I'd never want to use a tablecloth.
Black paint on a beautiful Bernhardt table😫. I’m old school though. You worked hard and you love it so that’s what matters.
Great work! At a store it would have cost easily $2500. Beautiful table with great bones! Beautiful work and you did it the correct way! Congrats!
Thank you very much!
Good job !! Alot of work but definitely worth it.🇺🇸😊❤
Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!
I came across this when I was refinishing a dining table for my daughter’s after college apartment & looking for inspiration. I love the end result! Your vision is amazing. Most people can’t see that far ahead or follow through between design, execution & end result-Bravo!
I’d say the set would sell here for $3-4k. Too bad they didn’t have the hutch/buffet!
I love what you did with the one you already had. I just found that video. Both are gorgeous!
My only advice would be to finish the edges that are unseen when it’s together but show when taking the leaves out. I am my father’s daughter and he always stressed doing a project 100%, like the sides of drawers & leaves, and removing hardware & hinges prior to finishing. It can be a curse sometimes!
If you wanted to upgrade the padding on those gorgeous chairs or change the fabric, it’s easier than it sounds to reupholster them -and you already have the skills and tools needed. (& brilliant artistic vision).
To duplicate the piping at the edge, you simply insert cording (or appropriate sized round shoelace or twine etc, like a taco, between a layer of fabric strip cut on the bias. The bias cut allows the fabric to mold seamlessly around corners. Or 2 rows is very stylish too, each encased separately -in either matching or contrasting fabric. If you have trouble getting your cording to make a tight curve, use your steam iron while gently stretching & holding it in the right shape.
Can’t wait to see your next flip! Thank you for sharing all your tips, insights and advice too!
Thanks so much for your tips! Yes when the time comes I will be updating those chairs.
Learned sooooo much! Once again, the correct tools made such a difference. I was surprised at no eye protection. Great job!!!
Thanks for watching! Glad I could share some tricks with you!
Wow! Just wow!! 😮❤😍
Easyoff oven cleaner works so cool
Gorgeous!
Fabulous!!
Thank you so much for showing us the rasor blade edge technique! So smart💖
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Obsessed with ur work!! Found u todsy and have been binge watching u! Cannot wait to finally start my restoration of furniture journey too!! Thank youh!! ♥️
Watched this at the airport! I’m poised to travel home and do the same flip to my dining table! This was awesome! Loved it! (I’ll also be assembling that shed soon! ❤)
Yes!! So excited! Glad I could provide a bit of inspo! Safe travels!
These 70's dining rooms sets are well made real wood! With a little bit of time and patience you can transform them into something updated and beautiful. It now looks amazing! Great job!
Good tip on using the razor blade on the tape to get a clean edge for paint. Beautiful flip!
Fabulous results, and I was wondering about the light top, but WOW, it is amazing!! Plus a perfect match to the chair cushions! Brand new would be 6 to 8 thousand dollars easily.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!
I was skeptical about the top, but it’s cute 🥰
❤❤❤❣️So lovely! I appreciate the tape and razor blade tip! I love that the cushion colors took on a new “hue” and matched the table top. So beautiful. - Jill 😘
Thank you so much! Have a great week Jill!
Love the black and stain combo!
Absolutely classy and stunning effect. Good job.
Lovely!
Love the transformation. So beautiful as usual. Enjoy the new piece in your beautiful home.
Thanks so much! 😊
Beautiful!
Oh, I can’t wait to see how it turns out
Beautiful!!!!!❤
Absolutely gorgeous
Best table BEFORE and AFTER. ❤️ Thanks for the detailed project information.
Glad you like it!
Absolutely beautiful! Enjoy! Thanks so much for sharing
Thank you so much!
One of my favorites so far. Beautiful
Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!
Absolutely beautiful! xxx
I am new to furniture restoration projects. I loved watching your video! The table and chairs turned out beautifully! I have dark brown table, chairs , and side bar table. I will be working on removing the dark stain to a lighter more modern stain.
Thank you!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!
Absolutely amazing!
You are an amazing inspiration
This is simply beautiful. I watched the whole process. OMGoodness!
It came out great
I have a table exactly like this except light wood. I still love It, but table top veneer is worn after 30 YEARS! Thank you for helping me save It!
That is awesome! You are welcome!
Loved it!
Whole what a change! Love it
Looks beautiful, but I think I would have kept the brass plates on the pedestals to help prevent scratches from shoes when
people inevitable rest their feet on the pedestals. Unless you have a no shoe policy, in which case it wouldn't matter!
It looks amazing!
Gorgeous
Stunning
This is gorgeous
I so agree with you on the cushions and the table top!!! Looks fantastic!!
Thanks so much! 😊
Beautiful ❤
It came out so beautiful
It is gorgeous! Thank you for saving this beauty! Love your use of stains and quality paint. Great job!
Thank you so much! glad you are here!
What a great buy! I love the style of this set! The black paint looks flawless. I'm not excited about the top finish because it looks splotchy. This usually happens with lower grade oak and oak from different trees. If you love it that's all that matters. Thanks for sharing all the great tips! 💯❣️
You R amazingly talented !! Awesome video. Well done !!
what a great transformation!
Very nice! Now to re-do the hutch.
Loved the transformation! I have a similar table and chairs that I inherited from my folks and have been waiting for inspiration to transform it. And now watching your video I'm excited to get working on it. And thanks for the razor blade tape tip - it's a round table so that will come in handy. Love your work and all the valuable information you provide.Thanks!
Thank you @lbaily3435! This makes me smile! So happy to hear!
Beautiful job!
Absolutely gorgeous!!!!! We have an old set that looks a lot like the original, except it is golden oak. I would love to do this to it!!!!
Go for it! Thanks to watching!
The razor blade tip was fantastic! You do excellent work! Thank you for the great tips and ideas!
Lovely job!!
I was shocked seeing your table set, which is identical to my parents dining set, and I’ve been wanting to refinish it exactly the top-stain color and the base black, unbelievable, but I wasn’t sure how the chairs , being part cain would turn out,in black, but their perfect , just beautiful. Thank you so much, you’ve solved a dought I’ve had for months, thanks again.😊
Loved every minute of this, you’re a pro-Thanks, Karen
Beautiful 🎉
