Ok hear is a teick.... and your stain on the wood filler will b the same.... also it will b so much easier... all u have to do is mix the saw dust with the wood filler like 50% wood filler and 50% saw dust... I love u guys... I am trying to change my life Mirina... it is so hard to get motivated... I have been praying can u pray for me... I love u guys and u guys have the most adorable and considerate kids...u guys r awesome parents.... love u guys
Use a putty knife to put the wood filler on. It’s so much easier and easier on the fingers. My husband builds custom cabinets and that’s how they put on the filler . Works try it and let me know how you like it
My brother was a master wood worker and any time he had to fill, he would collect the wood dust into a bucket and mix it with wood glue to fill with. Once it was dried and sanded, and stained, or painted, it was just beautiful. I think your table turned out really nice.
Merina, dear sweet sister, yours and Shane's effort is amazing. Would suggest you use a coarser grain sand paper till you get the look you want. Then go to a finer grain sandpaper in increments until it's baby bottom smooth. Love your choice of Jacobean. Great work! Both of you.
Love this. Please be praying for my daughter. She is 4. She broke her collarbone. Pray for pain management & her to find contentment with things she can’t do while she heals.
Love the black wall! Have you thought about building a side board/ cabinet around the deep freezer against the wall? It would be more storage that you are seeking and really elevate as you always do! You and Shane rock and the kids rock even more!!! ❤
The wood filler is taking away the real beauty of your beautiful table! You did the right thing by sanding it again! So you’ll be able to truly love it! You are my absolute favorite TH-camr!
Your remodel videos always make me feel like I can take on the world. They are so empowering and makes me feel like I can do anything just like y’all can. I am always so amazed at how amazing y’all’s projects turn out. The table turned out amazing, and I knew when you prayed over that table it was going to turn out beautiful just like you said. With God, we can do anything. I absolutely love watching your channel, and your channel also reminds me of that song “Let Me Tell You About My Jesus.” You are a mentor to me when it comes to sharing God with others. I’m also love in TN, so it feels like home when watching one of your videos. God is good all the time!
Using wood conditioner before you stain, makes your stain go on so much better, and makes your woodwork look so much richer. Not for now you've done a fabulous job, but for the future 😘😘
So beautiful. Your sweet prayer over the table made me cry. God does care about what we care about, with the right heart. You two are such a pleasure. God bless!
I will share a tip that someone once shared with me! If you use a frosting piping bag with a tip that is just smaller than the space you are filling….. it goes really fast! You can use a sandwich baggie in a pinch! You can also use a baggie to squish the compound into the crevice to save your fingers! Rubber gloves would work as well❤️
You can use painters tape on either sides of the cracks then fill in with the wood filler & when you take the tape off you will be left with a clean line only in the crack. Hope this helps 😊y’all did a great job as always!
Beautiful table! If you see this say a quick prayer for me. My husband and I have an appointment with another fertility doctor on Wednesday 🙏🏽 been trying to start a family for 7 years now
The table and bench turned out so beautiful! Definitely worth the extra effort to resand and stain it again! You all have come such a long way with your projects and it is so fun watching everything you all do - motivating for sure!
May i just say ….. thank you from the bottom of my heart for clean content. My daughter and I love watching these videos of yours separately and then chat about what y’all are up to each week….You’re funny and precious and proclaim Jesus so sweetly! Blessings to you and your entire family!
Amazing! Most people would just go out and buy new things, you have the pleasure of knowing you've made everything in you're home with you're own hands and that's real pride and love. 🦋🦋
The next time you do a wood project where you need to use filler, fill the crack with wood glue and then immediately sand over the wood and crack together. The sawdust will attach to the glue and fill the crack for a better finish. Plus it will stain the same color as the rest of the project!
I love how you and Shane work together. You both play off each other's ideas. Your trailer is definitely looking like a mobile mansion. It is also filled with love. That makes it way better than any million dollar mansion out there.
You and Shane did such a wonderful job on the table and benches. Jesus answers every prayer. What a wonderful witness your u-tube community. I keep watching you learn and grow and change. God Bless you and your family.
I haven’t watched the video but I am excited to sit down and watch later tonight. You have no idea how much you have inspired me since I found you at the beginning of last month. Keep getting the dagon thing done and spreading the love of Jesus ❤
Marina, on the wood filler, and I’ve learned this the hard way over a long period of time. I’ve been a single mom on a really tight budget, i found that if I put a tube of wood filler in a caulking gun (I found a tube of wood filler at Lowe’s), and then used my caulking gun with that tube of wood filler in it, I can get the wood filler just in the crack without it seeping all over the place. Then after I fill the crack, I take a damp cloth or damp sponge, and the key here is, it has to be damp, not wet, and wipe over the crack, while the wood filler while the filler is still slightly wet, then leave it alone to dry, I don’t have that seeping of wood filler, messing up the grain of my wood. I have also found, before I figured out the caulking gun and that you can buy a tube of wood filler, I had a cake decorating tube and a round cake decorating tip I could screw on the frosting bag and put the wood filler out of the can in there, and squeeze it through the tip into the crack. When you use a cake bag with a tip, I did put the wood filler out of the can into a bowl with you so few drops of water to just barely fit it down so it would go through the tube of the cake kit easier, and that worked perfectly like a charm. I wished I could just ring you on the phone before you went to do it with your finger but this was all I could think of to reach you. Hope this helps. I know a lot of people may disagree with me, but it worked for me on endless projects, so I thought I’d pass it onto you because it looks painful today what you were going through. Lol ;-)
That turned out AWESOME!! I know it was a big job, but in the end you got what you wanted and looks like it came from a furniture store. Shawn and you are the best at getting your home the way you want it. God Bless you lovely family and I hope you continure to put up videos of your diy projects.
Wow wow wow, the table and benches turned out gorgeous. It was worth it for you to redo the table because it would have driven you crazy lol and it made a huge diff. You and Shane are gaining so many great skills and you are teaching your kiddos that they can do what they set their minds to with the help of Jesus ❤️❤️❤️ Well Done 😊
Oh mylanta! Trust the Lord and trust the process! You nailed it Merina!! Every diyer sometimes has to stop and regroup and the result is awesome!!! Great fantastic amazing!
You two knocked this one out of the park!! I love the pattern on the table. You and Shane have come such a long way with your projects and each one just keeps getting better and better. Y'all make a great team. Can't wait to see what you do next 😊
Wood filler trick: all that saw dust Shane collected cutting the wood, you rub into the top of the wood filler. Then the sawdust stains the same as the wood around it. 😉
Believe it or not, both of u are actually very good, ( at diy projects) the inspiration that u give us, is 💯above anything we can find and the fact u make it REAL!!❤️
He was the best carpenter of all! Praise Jesus! He is always faithful! God gave you the gift and you are a blessing to watch! Shane has an amazing eye for detail and great carpentry skills! God bless your family!
This looks so great! I’m so happy for you that you persevered and saw it through to a beautiful completion! Praise the Lord for the way you gave Him the glory.
To no surprise, y’all did an AMAZING job on the table! I love both versions. I know you said that the first version was bothering you, but I loved it! P.s. Herringbone pattern gets it’s name from the look of the fish’s (herring) skeleton.
I know it is an extra step but taping on either side of where you are putting woodfiller and pulling up when wet then let dry then there will be a lot less sanding.
Filling in small lines or holes in wood is best done using sawdust, then sealing it. Permanent solution that never disappoints. This project is awesome. Your home is so beautiful and I love watching you both take such pride in it. ❤
Oh my goodness Merina that turned out so beautiful! And I learned something pray over it and mean it with your heart and Jesus will provide. I forget we are supposed to pray over everything!!! Thank you
So much better. It was bothering me too. I would have stripped it just like you did. Great job. It looks amazing. I hope Nanny and everyone is doing great. Hugs xoxo
I like all the others really love the commitment to your projects and how far you have come as DIYers. The table and benches are gorgeous! Now to the black wall. I have never liked the black. I would go back to white or maybe even the grey you used on the tables for the main color and the Jacobean for the wooden battens. But it’s your house, do what you makes you happy. Love you guys. Love how your love for each other as a couple and as parents and definitely for Jesus shines the light of His love to us all. Keep up the good work because I just know that it is producing 4 great adults who will be just as loving, considerate, have great work ethics and bless others as you have. Love in Christ my Sister! You and your family are a blessing!
Hi Merina and Shane , a herringbone design stem from the herring fish bones. The table set came out beautiful. The first time you did the table, I kept thinking about peanut butter every time I saw the wood filler stain showing on the table.Peace,love and blessing Always!!!!!!!!
Marina, on the black wall, I think it would be very striking if you painted inside the rectangles white and just leave the trim boards black. That would make it brighter in the room and make the room appear larger. I love the table guys!
😂 The prayers! The prayers! The prayers! When I tell you that the supplication that went up for this table sent me in 😅 I ain't lying! I can so relate. And because He's a good good Father, He got us!! ❤
Girl, you are so brave for sanding in your house.. you will be cleaning the dust up for a month...lol😅 So proud of you for sticking with this project bc it turned out beautifully!!
You have a lot of comments already, but i just wanted to give my 2 cents. My husband builds furniture so I have a few tips: 1. If you dont like applying wood filler with the putty knife, apply with your fingers and then scrape the excess with the knife. Less to sand later. 2. Keep the sander flat, dont angle to get a deeper sand, you will leave divets. Just keep it moving flat over the whole surface. 3. Apply a wood conditioner/prestain. It will help the stain go on more evenly. 4. Sand between every coat of poly with 220 grit for a nice smooth finish.
This is looking great…..Hubby is becoming an expert at woodworking. You both have come quite a long way…. Especially your mobile mansion. You are really transforming your mobile home. It looks beautiful ❤
Yeah the table looks messy like the stain is wearing off. Sanding it is the right idea. Excellently executed!! ❤ Omgosh it turned out so good!!! So so so good! God is great. Excellent work 👏
I ❤❤❤❤❤ the finished table and the black wall is a perfect backdrop! But I’m with Diane … the entire time I’m screaming in my brain “cut and sand outside”! We had some drywall work done and the dust managed to find its way into every nook and cranny of every inch of the house, cupboards and all. Then I learned that cutting and sanding wood inside was not a lot different … never ever again ;). But it’s absolutely beautiful … I’m so impressed by your “realness”, and the joy that exudes from your, your family and your home 😊
I'm loving Clarence on the TV on the background. My kids watched it when they were younger and still do from time to time. I sometimes turn it on and watch it. It's a great show lol. We also love adventure time. And gumball. The table looks amazing. Good job guys! That's amazing that you prayed over the table, but I think that God pays no mind to things of this world. Like a table being how you want it.
Girl that table and benches look so good your hard work and the blessings flowing from heaven from praying. Gosh what can one say just wow just wowww. Love yas
WOOOHOO MERINA!!!❤ God is good,, ALWAYS good, he has taken care of my daughter and I, thank you too all who have prayed for us.. its been rough but GOD is sooo GOOD!! 🐊🌴
There is POWER in the name of Jesus!!!!!! The table turned out SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Praise Jesus🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻. Good job you “three” 🥰 (and the girls of course for being such good wood fillers☺️
The fun part about projects for me, if I make a mistake, I go take a break and I come back and start over. But I come back with a smile. Because with each mistake, I'm only going to get better at my craft. If I can't finish today, I can finish tomorrow 😊
It turned out so good!I love it. Props to you for correcting your mistakes girl. I know that was such a pain in the butt, but I'm sure it made you even more proud of the finished product.
Acrylic pour would look awesome in those groves..like blues and greens and white colors of the sea. But I can't wait to see your creations finished. Shane is so good with wood ..and now I can see why he leaves the sanding up to you. Your so detailed . You two work so great together. Great job 👏
You, Shane and your kids done an amazing job with Jesus guiding. I love it! It looks really really good and with that black wall it looks perfect. I have my grandma kitchen table that she had when I grew up the legs are metal but the top is wood. You gave me inspiration to give it a facelift. I love your channel and how you worship & praise Jesus I find your channel very comforting and uplifting. Thank you for sharing your life, faith and family may God continue to bless you. Ps I’m also a born & raised Tennesseean and we do have a very southern accent 😂 ❤🙏🙏
Another thing that could help - u prolly know this already but just in case you don't - is if you use a rougher grit sandpaper to cut thru things faster. Start with 80 grit then work your way up to 220 to smooth it out! So glad you re done it to get the wood filler smudges out I think it's definitely worth it ! It turned out sooo pretty 😊🤩💕
Merina, you and Shane work so well together. The table and benches are absolutely gorgeous. Shane should have his own business, he does such gorgeous wood work. Thank you for letting us go along with you on these projects. Love you guys. ❤️ ❤❤❤❤❤
You did a magnificent job. Shane is so talented. I hope he passes on his skills to the kids. Merina you are so good at this! Creative and your visions just come to life. Good for you all!
Hi lovely, I renovate furniture for a living. The trick is to mix in the sawdust from your piece into your wood filler: about 35 - 40% sawdust to filler. You do still need to ensure you sand it all off the surface but then your filler will take the stain evenly. You can also mix a bit of the stain in with the filler & sawdust. Another trick is to wipe off any excess filler with a damp cloth before it's dry xx
Hi Merina. I've been watching you forever, Love your family & you make me smile. I'm very quiet. I rarely comment but I'm here. Here is a easy tip.. Put the wood filler in a freezer baggie, cut a hole & put in like a thin layer of cake frosting. Smooth over with a damp sponge as you would with a make up blender. This should help and easiest fix and moving forward. It works.
When I first started watching this video & realized what your plan was , I could have told you that this was going to happen because it’s happened to me!! Sometimes, a lot of the time things & ideas in our head turn out the way they are suppose too- but in real life it’s just not the way it is in our head…. Just something for you to remember. That’s why ALL my eating tables are flat & smooth!! I wish I could have been able to lived near you or been your neighbor so you could have used your valuable time more wisely- like on another project!!❤ I love all the things you have done in your mobile home! It looks gorgeous!!❤❤❤
Lol… as soon as you started talking about the wood filler after you had already stained and polyurethaned it, I said to myself, “Merina is going to redo that table. I just know it. She is not one to settle for something that she can make even better.” ❤
I always use an old bank card, credit card,store card or something like that to put things like filler in and scrape over the top with the edge after. It's so much easier than a knife as it bends more. Loving the project and watching from the UK. 🎉
I enjoy ALL your videos!! How in the world do you come up with so MANY incredible songs on your videos? You and Shane can be so proud of your content! I’ve never seen such hard workers!! Your table came out incredible!! May God continue to bless your family!!
Table and benches look absolutely fabulous. So this is my opinion on the black wall. When you did it, I immediately thought the wall looked like it had moved in 5 feet. Definitely made the area look smaller…but that’s me, I am a light and airy kind of girl.
This table makeover, not to mention your determination to get it perfect, is absolutely amazing! I love watching your videos and how you and Shane work together as a team.
You and Shane have such a loving relationship. Yall work together and fun doing all the update at remodeling yalls beautiful trailer home. I enjoy watching yalls video. Yalls love and faith in God and the kids do to. They mind so good and theyre happy like you both. One happy loving family full of love and faith in God and each other. Loving how yall did the table. ❤
Wow! 😮 Merina, you did a great job on the table and Shane making the benches. It looks beautiful and cheaper than buying a new table with chairs. On that dark wall it would be so nice to put a scripture on it. 👩🏾👍🏾
It all turned out beautifully!!!💕 I truly applaud your determination!!!💜 2023 Merina did it! 🎉🎉🎉 Just one tip! When sanding polyurethane, wear a mask xo 💕
Merina, I haven’t finished watching this video (53:05) and felt like I had to comment - your future self will thank you for sanding down the table & re-staining it. The benches look fantastic. 🥰
Merina! I've had a career of finishing furniture. 1/ sand with 180 grit first and make sure you have gotten ALL the wood filler off. You should only have it in the cracks. 2/ sand with 120 grit. 3/ sand with 400 grit 4/ wipe entire table with tac cloth. 5/ stain!
Holy smoke! It's beautiful! I vote for lightening up the wall. I do like the black, but I would imagine a lighter color would open up what is a small space. You guys did a GREAT job! 😀
Marina, i use icing tools to do wood filler, cake decorating silicon spatulas, angled spatula, cake scraper. Less tedious and faster. Worth a try. Table looks amazing ❤ The dynamic duo did gone done it again! 🎉

Ok hear is a teick.... and your stain on the wood filler will b the same.... also it will b so much easier... all u have to do is mix the saw dust with the wood filler like 50% wood filler and 50% saw dust... I love u guys... I am trying to change my life Mirina... it is so hard to get motivated... I have been praying can u pray for me... I love u guys and u guys have the most adorable and considerate kids...u guys r awesome parents.... love u guys
We will ALL be praying for you friend 😊 we got your back!
Ps… thank you for the filler tips! I will try that ☺️
Prayers for you
I’ve heard to do this too
It’s hard to change you life, but with prayer and support it will get easier. I’m praying for.
Use a putty knife to put the wood filler on. It’s so much easier and easier on the fingers. My husband builds custom cabinets and that’s how they put on the filler . Works try it and let me know how you like it
My brother was a master wood worker and any time he had to fill, he would collect the wood dust into a bucket and mix it with wood glue to fill with. Once it was dried and sanded, and stained, or painted, it was just beautiful. I think your table turned out really nice.
Yes! That is what we do, as well! Less shrinkage, too.
Just said the same!
Cheaper too! ❤
Use a tanning mitt. Cheap and cheerful!
Merina, dear sweet sister, yours and Shane's effort is amazing. Would suggest you use a coarser grain sand paper till you get the look you want. Then go to a finer grain sandpaper in increments until it's baby bottom smooth. Love your choice of Jacobean. Great work! Both of you.
So is mine he built his an his wife's bed it turned out beutifull
Love this. Please be praying for my daughter. She is 4. She broke her collarbone. Pray for pain management & her to find contentment with things she can’t do while she heals.
Love the black wall! Have you thought about building a side board/ cabinet around the deep freezer against the wall? It would be more storage that you are seeking and really elevate as you always do! You and Shane rock and the kids rock even more!!! ❤
The wood filler is taking away the real beauty of your beautiful table! You did the right thing by sanding it again! So you’ll be able to truly love it! You are my absolute favorite TH-camr!
You and Shane make a great team in everything you do.
He’s the brains 🤣
@@fearfullycreateddoes. That make you pinky? 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Love the painted table legs!
Your remodel videos always make me feel like I can take on the world. They are so empowering and makes me feel like I can do anything just like y’all can. I am always so amazed at how amazing y’all’s projects turn out. The table turned out amazing, and I knew when you prayed over that table it was going to turn out beautiful just like you said.

I’m in Tennessee too
Shane is a lovely partner. You’re very fortunate to have each other. He always seems to ready for your projects and with good humor.
Using wood conditioner before you stain, makes your stain go on so much better, and makes your woodwork look so much richer. Not for now you've done a fabulous job, but for the future 😘😘
So beautiful. Your sweet prayer over the table made me cry. God does care about what we care about, with the right heart. You two are such a pleasure. God bless!

You can use a sandwich baggie in a pinch! You can also use a baggie to squish the compound into the crevice to save your fingers! Rubber gloves would work as well❤️
You can also frame the area to be filled with painter’s tape so nothing gets on the rest of the wood.
You can use painters tape on either sides of the cracks then fill in with the wood filler & when you take the tape off you will be left with a clean line only in the crack. Hope this helps 😊y’all did a great job as always!
Beautiful table! If you see this say a quick prayer for me. My husband and I have an appointment with another fertility doctor on Wednesday 🙏🏽 been trying to start a family for 7 years now
🙏
🙏🏼God is a Miracle working God

Wow! Thank you for the tip!
I was going to tell her to use the sawdust as I had seen it on another diy
I didn't know this! I guess then you are sanding the wood glue wet? I've got to try it!! Sounds reasonable about the wood dust.
I'm so glad you redid it. The second try is so much better. Thank you Jesus for guiding M and blessing her with a beautiful table. Amen.
I love how you and Shane work together. You both play off each other's ideas. Your trailer is definitely looking like a mobile mansion. It is also filled with love. That makes it way better than any million dollar mansion out there.
Love how you prayed over your project!!! Give it to Him...Amen
The table & benches are beautiful ❤. Y’all did an amazing job once again!

Agreed
Absolutely agree
YES, Merina, your channel is so nice, no political agenda, your not trying to sell anything and I love your family values.
That turned out AWESOME!! I know it was a big job, but in the end you got what you wanted and looks like it came from a furniture store. Shawn and you are the best at getting your home the way you want it. God Bless you lovely family and I hope you continure to put up videos of your diy projects.
I completely agree 😊😊 beautiful work!
Merina and Shane, your table and benches look so professional and add the perfect touch to your dining room. Great job through Jesus.
I have never commented on your channel, but you and Shane did some beautiful work on your table and benches! God does listen
Wow wow wow, the table and benches turned out gorgeous. It was worth it for you to redo the table because it would have driven you crazy lol and it made a huge diff. You and Shane are gaining so many great skills and you are teaching your kiddos that they can do what they set their minds to with the help of Jesus ❤️❤️❤️ Well Done 😊
He absolutely loves you. I am here for it. Just seeing the little things y’all do for each other is soooo heart warming ❤❤❤❤❤
The table and benches turned out great! So glad you took the time and patience to go back and sand it down again! Fantastic job Shane and Merina ❤
Oh mylanta! Trust the Lord and trust the process! You nailed it Merina!! Every diyer sometimes has to stop and regroup and the result is awesome!!! Great fantastic amazing!

Loved your prayer Merina. Jesus did, too. Your table looks fabulous. You two are so talented with the help of God, of course! :) Thank You Jesus!
This looks so great! I’m so happy for you that you persevered and saw it through to a beautiful completion! Praise the Lord for the way you gave Him the glory.

The amazing thing about this table, is that there is not another one like it in the whole world!!👏👏
YES!!! THIS!!!! I hope it lasts forever 🥹😍
Oh, I love your table! It turned out so beautiful! Y'all did that thing!
Oh my goodness Merina that turned out so beautiful! And I learned something pray over it and mean it with your heart and Jesus will provide. I forget we are supposed to pray over everything!!! Thank you
So much better. It was bothering me too. I would have stripped it just like you did. Great job. It looks amazing. I hope Nanny and everyone is doing great. Hugs xoxo

Hi Merina and Shane , a herringbone design stem from the herring fish bones. The table set came out beautiful. The first time you did the table, I kept thinking about peanut butter every time I saw the wood filler stain showing on the table.Peace,love and blessing Always!!!!!!!!
I thought of peanut butter too! 🥜 😂😂
Marina, on the black wall, I think it would be very striking if you painted inside the rectangles white and just leave the trim boards black. That would make it brighter in the room and make the room appear larger. I love the table guys!
It is looking awesome. It looks beautiful y’all are doing such a good job. Y’all have a blessed afternoon.❤
😂 The prayers! The prayers! The prayers! When I tell you that the supplication that went up for this table sent me in 😅 I ain't lying! I can so relate. And because He's a good good Father, He got us!! ❤
Girl, you are so brave for sanding in your house.. you will be cleaning the dust up for a month...lol😅 So proud of you for sticking with this project bc it turned out beautifully!!
They are always doing projects like this in the house. Blows my mind. LOL
I wouldn't be able to breathe!
You have a lot of comments already, but i just wanted to give my 2 cents. My husband builds furniture so I have a few tips:
1. If you dont like applying wood filler with the putty knife, apply with your fingers and then scrape the excess with the knife. Less to sand later.
2. Keep the sander flat, dont angle to get a deeper sand, you will leave divets. Just keep it moving flat over the whole surface.
3. Apply a wood conditioner/prestain. It will help the stain go on more evenly.
4. Sand between every coat of poly with 220 grit for a nice smooth finish.
This is looking great…..Hubby is becoming an expert at woodworking. You both have come quite a long way…. Especially your mobile mansion. You are really transforming your mobile home. It looks beautiful ❤
I am SOOOO proud of him! It’s so cool how much he’s learned!
I’m proud of him too and he’s not even my hubby. 😝 I’m proud of both of you. You have come so far. 👋🏼👋🏼(Pat on your back)
Yeah the table looks messy like the stain is wearing off. Sanding it is the right idea. Excellently executed!! ❤
Omgosh it turned out so good!!! So so so good! God is great. Excellent work 👏
You are gonna have saw dust in your home for years😢
Listen…the clean up process was not fun.
I ❤❤❤❤❤ the finished table and the black wall is a perfect backdrop! But I’m with Diane … the entire time I’m screaming in my brain “cut and sand outside”! We had some drywall work done and the dust managed to find its way into every nook and cranny of every inch of the house, cupboards and all. Then I learned that cutting and sanding wood inside was not a lot different … never ever again ;). But it’s absolutely beautiful … I’m so impressed by your “realness”, and the joy that exudes from your, your family and your home 😊
I'm loving Clarence on the TV on the background. My kids watched it when they were younger and still do from time to time. I sometimes turn it on and watch it. It's a great show lol. We also love adventure time. And gumball. The table looks amazing. Good job guys! That's amazing that you prayed over the table, but I think that God pays no mind to things of this world. Like a table being how you want it.
Girl that table and benches look so good your hard work and the blessings flowing from heaven from praying. Gosh what can one say just wow just wowww. Love yas
WOOOHOO MERINA!!!❤ God is good,, ALWAYS good, he has taken care of my daughter and I, thank you too all who have prayed for us.. its been rough but GOD is sooo GOOD!! 🐊🌴
THIS IS AMAZING NEWS SUSAN 😭❤️🙌🏻
There is POWER in the name of Jesus!!!!!! The table turned out SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Praise Jesus🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻. Good job you “three” 🥰 (and the girls of course for being such good wood fillers☺️
BLACK WALL IS GORGEOUS!!!! ITS A PROJECT I ALWAYS WANTED MY HUBBS TO DO! SO I COULD IMAGINE HOW THE FINISHED RESULT WILL LOOK…
The table is beautiful🌹. If someone comes into your home and and makes a bad comments,they don’t need to be there!,,❤
It turned out BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
Merina and Shane team work and with Jesus watching over there is no doubt what you can do! Table and benches came out fantastic!!!! Love Ya❤
The fun part about projects for me, if I make a mistake, I go take a break and I come back and start over. But I come back with a smile. Because with each mistake, I'm only going to get better at my craft. If I can't finish today, I can finish tomorrow 😊
It turned out so good!I love it. Props to you for correcting your mistakes girl. I know that was such a pain in the butt, but I'm sure it made you even more proud of the finished product.
It’s beautiful, I’m glad you decided to redo it. I enjoy watching you, I’m in my 70’s
Acrylic pour would look awesome in those groves..like blues and greens and white colors of the sea. But I can't wait to see your creations finished. Shane is so good with wood ..and now I can see why he leaves the sanding up to you. Your so detailed . You two work so great together. Great job 👏
You, Shane and your kids done an amazing job with Jesus guiding. I love it! It looks really really good and with that black wall it looks perfect.
I have my grandma kitchen table that she had when I grew up the legs are metal but the top is wood. You gave me inspiration to give it a facelift.
I love your channel and how you worship & praise Jesus I find your channel very comforting and uplifting. Thank you for sharing your life, faith and family may God continue to bless you.
Ps I’m also a born & raised Tennesseean and we do have a very southern accent 😂 ❤🙏🙏
Oh, wow it turn out so beautiful. Yes, when you pray over things God listen.
Merina, you and Shane are teaching those children things that will help them all through their lives. Innovation pros!
That man of yours has his measuring/math skills down cold!!! Beautiful!
Another thing that could help - u prolly know this already but just in case you don't - is if you use a rougher grit sandpaper to cut thru things faster. Start with 80 grit then work your way up to 220 to smooth it out! So glad you re done it to get the wood filler smudges out I think it's definitely worth it ! It turned out sooo pretty 😊🤩💕
That table and benches look better than anything you could buy at a furniture store. Great job!
Merina, you and Shane work so well together. The table and benches are absolutely gorgeous. Shane should have his own business, he does such gorgeous wood work. Thank you for letting us go along with you on these projects. Love you guys. ❤️ ❤❤❤❤❤
You did a magnificent job. Shane is so talented. I hope he passes on his skills to the kids. Merina you are so good at this! Creative and your visions just come to life.
Good for you all!
Merina's heart, Shane's talent, the soundtrack👌💛✨️
Raina That Looks So good ❤❤😊
Hi lovely, I renovate furniture for a living. The trick is to mix in the sawdust from your piece into your wood filler: about 35 - 40% sawdust to filler. You do still need to ensure you sand it all off the surface but then your filler will take the stain evenly. You can also mix a bit of the stain in with the filler & sawdust. Another trick is to wipe off any excess filler with a damp cloth before it's dry xx
Hi Merina. I've been watching you forever, Love your family & you make me smile. I'm very quiet. I rarely comment but I'm here. Here is a easy tip.. Put the wood filler in a freezer baggie, cut a hole & put in like a thin layer of cake frosting. Smooth over with a damp sponge as you would with a make up blender. This should help and easiest fix and moving forward. It works.
Also it's awesome you involved your kids in it here and there because in years to come they'll remember helping their mom with the table and benches!
Your table and benches turned out beautiful. You and Shane and Jesus can do anything!❤️
When I first started watching this video & realized what your plan was , I could have told you that this was going to happen because it’s happened to me!! Sometimes, a lot of the time things & ideas in our head turn out the way they are suppose too- but in real life it’s just not the way it is in our head…. Just something for you to remember. That’s why ALL my eating tables are flat & smooth!! I wish I could have been able to lived near you or been your neighbor so you could have used your valuable time more wisely- like on another project!!❤
I love all the things you have done in your mobile home! It looks gorgeous!!❤❤❤
Lol… as soon as you started talking about the wood filler after you had already stained and polyurethaned it, I said to myself, “Merina is going to redo that table. I just know it. She is not one to settle for something that she can make even better.” ❤
I always use an old bank card, credit card,store card or something like that to put things like filler in and scrape over the top with the edge after. It's so much easier than a knife as it bends more. Loving the project and watching from the UK. 🎉
I enjoy ALL your videos!! How in the world do you come up with so MANY incredible songs on your videos? You and Shane can be so proud of your content! I’ve never seen such hard workers!! Your table came out incredible!! May God continue to bless your family!!
Table and benches look absolutely fabulous. So this is my opinion on the black wall. When you did it, I immediately thought the wall looked like it had moved in 5 feet. Definitely made the area look smaller…but that’s me, I am a light and airy kind of girl.
This table makeover, not to mention your determination to get it perfect, is absolutely amazing! I love watching your videos and how you and Shane work together as a team.
I love the black wall. The table and benches are beautiful and look amazing in your dining area. You and Shane are making lovely home for your family.
You and Shane have such a loving relationship. Yall work together and fun doing all the update at remodeling yalls beautiful trailer home. I enjoy watching yalls video. Yalls love and faith in God and the kids do to. They mind so good and theyre happy like you both. One happy loving family full of love and faith in God and each other. Loving how yall did the table. ❤
Wow! 😮 Merina, you did a great job on the table and Shane making the benches. It looks beautiful and cheaper than buying a new table with chairs. On that dark wall it would be so nice to put a scripture on it. 👩🏾👍🏾
It all turned out beautifully!!!💕
I truly applaud your determination!!!💜
2023 Merina did it! 🎉🎉🎉
Just one tip! When sanding polyurethane, wear a mask xo 💕
Merina, I haven’t finished watching this video (53:05) and felt like I had to comment - your future self will thank you for sanding down the table & re-staining it. The benches look fantastic. 🥰
You're over here motivating me to get my booty in gear and get things done! 😊
Merina! I've had a career of finishing furniture.
1/ sand with 180 grit first and make sure you have gotten ALL the wood filler off. You should only have it in the cracks.
2/ sand with 120 grit.
3/ sand with 400 grit
4/ wipe entire table with tac cloth.
5/ stain!
Love y’all’s projects. They always turn out so beautiful. I think you should lighten up the wall.
Holy smoke! It's beautiful! I vote for lightening up the wall. I do like the black, but I would imagine a lighter color would open up what is a small space. You guys did a GREAT job! 😀
Woo-Hoo! Looks great 👍! That’s a really good sander! I love the black wall with it!
Marina, i use icing tools to do wood filler, cake decorating silicon spatulas, angled spatula, cake scraper.
Less tedious and faster.
Worth a try.
Table looks amazing ❤
The dynamic duo did gone done it again! 🎉
Love it, and the black wall! Bam! Beautiful job.. thank you lord and God bless
