If furniture could talk, I'm sure every piece of dejected, ready for the landfill piece you work on would say, "Thank you for the opportunity to have a new life serving in & beautifying someone's home once again!" Great job, Katie!
Fantastic! Thank you for painting the underside-not only does it make it look "finished" but seals in any weird smells for wherever it lived in its past life.
As someone who lived through the eighties, I have very negative feelings toward most of the furniture from that era. I thought there was no way that you could do anything to that table that would make me like it. I was wrong. It is beautiful now. Brava!
Me too...and I have the same table! The only difference is mine has smooth legs rather than fluted, and it doesn't have that plastic ring that she painted black. It was called a "sofa table" when I got it decades ago and was meant to go behind the sofa. I don't like that orange sofa table at all, but I've kept it because it's handy for storing things on in my "storage" bedroom. Now I'm glad I kept it! I'm going to try to copy what she did and maybe I'll end up with a pretty hallway table!
I have such admiration for people like you who can put hours and hours of work into refinishing furniture. My attention span will not accommodate such a work intensive project!
Those legs are so unique! I love them. My Dad used to refinish furniture as a hobby. He would have sat under the shade tree in the back yard and sanded all four legs by hand. He enjoyed the process as much as the end product. He had way more patience than I do.
Katie, you are so talented. I love watching your videos! You did a beautiful job on this piece, and every other piece I’ve watched you transform! I enjoy watching the process.
Man oh man, each time I see you pick up something that I’m sure isn’t going to work, I’m TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY!! But, I don’t do this for a living and you do! I absolutely love your videos and your creativity!! You are amazing!!
Great job… I know a lot of the “non- real wood” furniture ends up in the landfill so thank you for the ideas you bring to save that furniture ❤️ and our planet thanks you too 🌎
Hi, I’m in the UK and I’ve only just found your channel, and I’m amazed at what you achieve. I love how thorough you are and show your bloopers as well as your triumphs. We don’t have the huge thrift stores here, just wee shops that mainly sell clothes and bric-a-brac, and maybe a few shops that donate furniture to the needy.
The Color Is Nice. It Gives the piece some Depth. And the Black Paint was Great Solution on that Plastic Strip. I'm Still wrapping My Brain around the Fact that 1980's Furniture is Making a Comeback.
I have the exact same table that I bought new in the 1990's. A few years ago I flipped it for a spare bedroom with some funky colors. Totally different outcomes, but definitely a worthwhile flip. (Yours is much better!) 🙂
I also love the color of the oak now, it’s beautiful. I have several pieces of living room furniture that are the same orange shade. I have been thinking about doing something with them, and now you have inspired me. Thanks for sharing your time and talent. Take care, stay safe.
Thank goodness you got rid of that gold trim. Nice job Katie. I love the way you work. I have a solid oak ORANGE TABLE, 4 chairs buffet and hutch that I would love to change. Wish you were closer…I live in Ont.
Gives me the perfect way to get a finish on solid oak piece that has been troubling me stripped and used plain for decades. Thank you. This is beautifully saved now.
As always love watching your videos and to see the “what’s next” love the process of a paint wash and stain effect to get rid of that nasty yellow orange look. Then you pulled out the ebony black rub and buff and silly me began to question your process, but as always you knew exactly what you were doing and it looks amazing. I think this piece could easily find its way into a stylists collection to style up a new home etc.
Loved this Katie. I picked up a similar table from the trash a few years ago. I've been using it in my home office and wanted to give it a makeover. Love this and your sharing your knowledge.
As always, I'm a simple woman. You post a video, I immediately have to watch it! I love the update you did on this piece! I remember we had a similar console table at one point in the early 90s when I was little and I never liked the very orange color of it, but mom loved it. If it'd looked like this, maybe we'd have kept it around longer!
Katie is always so much fun to watch! She’s smart, skilled & stylish! BTW, I’m old enough to know that this “orange” wood was all once the rage & I think I recall it as having been called “blonde.” (?) But Katie’s recreation of this piece is TERRIFIC !!! I love it! I want it, but have no place for it!!! Someone is getting a steal at her quoted price-she’s giving this away at that price!
Total improvement!! I wondered What you'd do with that yucky banding. I love the black. When hubby and I married 12 years ago, he had the entire 1980s living room en suite just like that: coffee table, lamp tables, console. I told him "The '80s called and they want their stuff back!" I lacked the vision to update all of it. I'm so glad to see that it can be done.
I love this !!! I bought coffee table and 2 end tables that are exactly like this table now I know how to refinish them now ! Thank you very much Katie ❤
I have the same tables in the garage. I did sell the coffee table some years ago, but I still have 2 end tables. Have been contemplating re-doing them. Mine are a white color, I guess you'd call it distressed. I like the color, I think it's the legs that bother me.
I am more amazed at what you do in each video. Everything turns out fantastic!! You have such talent in being able to see/envision how/what to do to these pieces. Would love to have you refurbish my 60 yr old piano.
This table came from a hotel liquidation site. I have the same one, which I painted white. I plan to refinish it in a couple of weeks so I’m happy to see what you did with yours.
Such an easy way to get rid of the orange tinted furniture that has plagued us for so long! 😂😂 Love that it doesn’t have to end up in the dump. I really liked your spin on the fake gold plastic trim piece! I think I’ve only seen it removed. Your vision added a cool contrast! 🦋
I was so happy to see this piece you worked on as I have an orange solid oak huge dining table in my basement dining area and I want to refinish. I was thinking of going black stain and I love what you did. Now I might change my mind as I love how this turned out. Could you do a black oak piece? I would love to see that. Love all your videos and expertise. ❤
My ex got a coffee table with glass inset surface that looks like your mate. His office gets rid of furniture once in a while and he can’t ever toss anything out, but after your share that looks like something I could try! Thx for your classy makes and cool music!
Very nice! I’m.ove it! ! I have a table almost identical except there is a lower shelf. My daughter has it now with the matching end tables and coffee table. Maybe a furniture flip in the future. Thanks for sharing! ❤
Very nice Katie. You totally nailed it. I painted my tv cabinet a black color and the top was so hard to get roller marks out. I used an inexpensive paint, to minimize it but it didn’t work. I’m going to live with it for a while. If I can’t take it I’m going to sand it down to a natural color🤦♀️
This wood finish is beautiful, Katie. I'm trying to decide how to refinish a little curved-leg oak vanity (w/o mirror) that I'm keeping for an art-making table. I have a lot of MCM teak, so want to differentiate. The finish here is unique. I was also thinking ebonizing might be interestingly different. I'm wondering if you might be experimenting with that medium any time soon (beyond the RNB) -- I don't think I've seen you do that. I kind of love the 'science experiment' nature of ebonizing. Fun.
If furniture could talk, I'm sure every piece of dejected, ready for the landfill piece you work on would say, "Thank you for the opportunity to have a new life serving in & beautifying someone's home once again!" Great job, Katie!
Love this
Yep

Really? without the video I could see the potential. They are really trendy right now
I always learn something from you in each video. This table turned out great! The black rub n buff was a game changer! 🎉
I have such admiration for people like you who can put hours and hours of work into refinishing furniture. My attention span will not accommodate such a work intensive project!
Love that trick of the water based stain over a paint wash. Genius. I have that stain, so I will be trying this out for sure! This looks awesome!
Beautiful! Great tip about painting the underside too!
That is now a stunning piece of furniture..love this. ❤.
Those legs are so unique! I love them. My Dad used to refinish furniture as a hobby. He would have sat under the shade tree in the back yard and sanded all four legs by hand. He enjoyed the process as much as the end product. He had way more patience than I do.
The makeover looks terrific. I’m pretty sure my friend had this same table in the 80’s .
Katie, you are so talented. I love watching your videos! You did a beautiful job on this piece, and every other piece I’ve watched you transform! I enjoy watching the process.
Katie, beautiful as usual. I think I am going to try this on my orange oak kitchen cabinets. Thanks!
Man oh man, each time I see you pick up something that I’m sure isn’t going to work, I’m TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY!! But, I don’t do this for a living and you do!
I absolutely love your videos and your creativity!!
You are amazing!!

Love watching you work your magic. And enjoy your narration.
Agree on the narration, it really helps beginners like me understand the process
It looks wonderful, Katie, and completely 2024! Good job, as always.
The Color Is Nice. It Gives the piece some Depth. And the Black Paint was Great Solution on that Plastic Strip. I'm Still wrapping My Brain around the Fact that 1980's Furniture is Making a Comeback.
Love the table finish looks much better! I would’ve chosen gold for the metal instead of black though
I have the exact same table that I bought new in the 1990's. A few years ago I flipped it for a spare bedroom with some funky colors. Totally different outcomes, but definitely a worthwhile flip. (Yours is much better!) 🙂
A great makeover. There are lots of these tables out there! Super save!
I also love the color of the oak now, it’s beautiful. I have several pieces of living room furniture that are the same orange shade. I have been thinking about doing something with them, and now you have inspired me. Thanks for sharing your time and talent. Take care, stay safe.
Hi Katie,
This table turned out really pretty.
You never disappoint, job well done!
God Bless sweet friend ❤
Thank goodness you got rid of that gold trim. Nice job Katie. I love the way you work. I have a solid oak ORANGE TABLE, 4 chairs buffet and hutch that I would love to change. Wish you were closer…I live in Ont.
Pink pickled cabinets with southwest decor-the late 80s/early 90s dream!
Oh boy i had this exact table, long gone now! Great job
Gives me the perfect way to get a finish on solid oak piece that has been troubling me stripped and used plain for decades. Thank you. This is beautifully saved now.
I agree. Thanks for the “tips and tricks.”
As always love watching your videos and to see the “what’s next” love the process of a paint wash and stain effect to get rid of that nasty yellow orange look.

Beautiful! I kinda liked the white wash finish too without the stain.
Love your contemporary version 1000 times better! Well done my friend.
Loved this Katie. I picked up a similar table from the trash a few years ago. I've been using it in my home office and wanted to give it a makeover. Love this and your sharing your knowledge.

Yay! I have a table just like this one I’m planning to refinish! So glad I found your vid 🎉
Beautifully done! Great idea with the black banding.
Katie is always so much fun to watch! She’s smart, skilled & stylish!
BTW, I’m old enough to know that this “orange” wood was all once the rage & I think I recall it as having been called “blonde.” (?)
But Katie’s recreation of this piece is TERRIFIC !!! I love it! I want it, but have no place for it!!! Someone is getting a steal at her quoted price-she’s giving this away at that price!
The bench you used for support when stripping the legs looks like a great opportunity to refinish. It seems very well made and from awhile ago.
Hey, I love what you did with this table. Next time I see one I’ll probably buy it and restA as this one. Thank you so much!!❤❤❤
Total improvement!! I wondered What you'd do with that yucky banding. I love the black.

Wow, that new color is a beauty. I was surprised at your solution for that gold band--so easy. You scored big time once again, Katie.
Beautiful! You have such a great vision and then execute it so skillfully!
I love this !!! I bought coffee table and 2 end tables that are exactly like this table now I know how to refinish them now ! Thank you very much Katie ❤
Amazing how well you envision the pieces. Great and beautiful job!!
I have the same tables in the garage. I did sell the coffee table some years ago, but I still have 2 end tables. Have been contemplating re-doing them. Mine are a white color, I guess you'd call it distressed. I like the color, I think it's the legs that bother me.
I have a kitchen table similar to this that really needs help. Thank you for showing me how.
What a fantastic save you made on this table! It's so smooth-looking!! Classy👍100% 😊
I am more amazed at what you do in each video. Everything turns out fantastic!! You have such talent in being able to see/envision how/what to do to these pieces. Would love to have you refurbish my 60 yr old piano.
Beautiful. Interesting how the old style can be re-imagined without doing major renovations.
I am so in love with the after!!! Totally worth it Katie! ❤ You did amazing
Una mesa preciosa. Enhorabuena por tu espléndido trabajo. Saludos desde España.
This table came from a hotel liquidation site. I have the same one, which I painted white. I plan to refinish it in a couple of weeks so I’m happy to see what you did with yours.
What a stunning outcome, some great tips too, in love ❤🎉
Great job,that is beautiful, my brother in law had one of this table and 2 end tables gave it to Goodwill 5 yrs ago
Absolutely one beautiful job!! I love your thoroughness and results!!!
I absolutely love this flip. So beautiful
Such an easy way to get rid of the orange tinted furniture that has plagued us for so long! 😂😂 Love that it doesn’t have to end up in the dump. I really liked your spin on the fake gold plastic trim piece! I think I’ve only seen it removed. Your vision added a cool contrast! 🦋

Great paint and stain color combo! Whatever you are doing, you look great and it shows!
Very nice! I’m.ove it! ! I have a table almost identical except there is a lower shelf. My daughter has it now with the matching end tables and coffee table. Maybe a furniture flip in the future. Thanks for sharing! ❤
What a save! It is totally reinvigorated.
Very nice Katie. You totally nailed it. I painted my tv cabinet a black color and the top was so hard to get roller marks out. I used an inexpensive paint, to minimize it but it didn’t work. I’m going to live with it for a while. If I can’t take it I’m going to sand it down to a natural color🤦♀️
I love it❤.Thank you for showing us step by step!❤🎉🎉🎉
I didn’t know that rub n buff is self sealing!!! The end looks amazing!!!
I have learned so much by watching your videos....and every thing you work on, turns out wonderful......
Really great result. And I am really blown away by the exquisite styling, top level.
Bravo, Katie! Simply beautiful.
You have great vision and instincts. Beautiful
what a comeback Katie!!! So fresh & clean!! And... at $20 purchase is a win/win!! Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
Love the wood tone you created on this worthwhile, Versatile piece! Great video!
I did not like it back then and still not sure….i am an antique lover….will wait until you are done.😍
You are so inventive and talented!! Love to watch you transform furniture ready for the landfill brought back to life!! Thank you as always!!
Looks great. I had some of this kind of table many years ago. Had no idea I could have made it look this good.
It looks amazing Katie!! 🥰🥰
Love your modern oak finish, great work thanks for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️
That looks incredible Katie.
That’s one of my fav ever ones you’ve done. And I’ve watched every one!!
My son has this type of furniture and I'm hoping he'll let me do this. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing
I had that table set back in the late 80s.
This came out fantastic!
Beautiful job!
So beautiful! Your vision is spot on ❤
The table looks so nice!
Awesome video. Great project. Thank you for posting.
Wow I loooove that piece !! Great job !
Gorgeous love how you save these pieces
I love the color. I have been looking for an idea on how to get rid of my orange cabinets. This gives me an idea. Thanks
Very nice! I just started refinishing furniture and your tips are great.
Very nice! Another super save! ❤
Great new look as usual!
Great solution to the ugly plastic gold trim! Very pretty!
Amazing!! Wow!! BRAVO!!
☆☆☆☆☆☆
There is one exactly like this at a local resale store in my area for $27. Now I’m tempted to go grab it!!!
i love the stain so pretty how it turned out! just not loving the black other than it's simply stunning! 😀🙂
You did yet another fabulous job!
I hated that trend but you turned it into something beautiful. Great job!
Yes, me too! This is so much better
Waaaoooo good job 👏 👍 👌 💯...beautiful table 😊..!!
The oak finish! 🤩
That’s amazing!! Good job girl!!
This wood finish is beautiful, Katie. I'm trying to decide how to refinish a little curved-leg oak vanity (w/o mirror) that I'm keeping for an art-making table. I have a lot of MCM teak, so want to differentiate. The finish here is unique. I was also thinking ebonizing might be interestingly different.
