The legs with the handles. Definately leveled up this piece! Gives me ideas!! Looking forward to your store opening! ❤️ Thank you so much for hosting this challenge!
What I love about this one, is that you took one of those horrible cheap 80s-90s pieces and gave it new life. I love quality wood, and I actually hate to see flippers paining truly classic solid wood pieces, antiques that should be restored to their original glory. This piece is EXACTLY the kind of furniture to use if you want to paint something. Well done.
The definition of 'antique", according to Websters, is 'a decorative object made at least 100 years ago". I watch a lot of DIY / furniture restoration videos and only rarely see anyone painting a real antique, unless it's been in their family a long time. Painting true antiques can completely ruin their value. I think perhaps the term 'vintage' might be a more accurate term if you are referring to items made between 1920's or later till now. I see a lot of people painting vintage pieces. :-)
For hardware holes and such, glue in dowels, then Bondo and end with wood filler. If you decide to stain, the filler will take stain. By gluing in wood or dowels you stop the filler from shrinking. Awesome work.
filling in the pull holes totally made me snicker. You reminded me of myself.... and I'm totally cool, so that's a good thing. I love your ideas. Thank you!
Your dupe turned out amazing. I would have never thought that it was a microwave cart to begin with. The gorgeous legs & handles were the perfect beautiful touch 💖 I’m so excited for your online store to launch. Thank you for hosting this challenge.. I love seeing all talented creatives come together for challenges .. you all always create such beautiful pieces of art.
Enjoy watching your videos. Think mimicking the shapes of the indents with DIY acrylic handles slightly elevated uo from inside the indents would have been a nice dupe make it work moment. Will check out the play list.
The difference is amazing! I would have never known there was only one piece if I hadn’t seen the video. I absolutely love it and I don’t blame you for keeping it.
Hi Clara, Sherry here. love your new TV stand!!!! So pretty! And I so know what you mean about hinges. I hate replacing them. I get so confused. Haha. That is really exciting about your on-line store. I'm going to check it out. Aloha!😍👋
What a transformation! You totally nailed this dupe and it looks so good in your cute apartment! Thanks for hosting this awesome challenge ❤ Also, love that mcm piece you had your tv on in the background about halfway through the video.
I love how you was fighting that Piece (well the doors lol) BUT you Won the battle and Your new TV stand came out Soo pretty and modern ..Loving those legs with the pulls totally seals the deal .. Amazing Claire...I'm binge watching all day...🥰👍❣️❣️💯
@@KnowCanDo honey I LOVE That Drive In You that for a minute seemed YOU Maybe let go to back burner for a second❣️... BUT After your little Vaca YOU are BACK and You Definitely Are Coming back Into that Drive and I absolutely love This. super happy 😊❣️❣️❣️👍👍💯
I was thinking when I watched this, that maybe using kitchen cabinet hinges and looking at how they are attached may work better. I could be wrong, because I’mnot there :) but those hinges don’t look like they are going to hold up.
Cool. Well last time I posted one of these and said it was a tv stand everyone told me it was a microwave cart 🤦♀️ Whatever it was, it’s something different now!
GET NOTIFIED of my Online Store launch here: forms.gle/aqcCVHBgE8BT1Qpp7
Fun!
For the hardware, I'd spray paint them then spray them with a protective coat.
Thank you for showing all of your steps and being honest. Your makeover turned out great.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching :)
The legs with the handles. Definately leveled up this piece! Gives me ideas!! Looking forward to your store opening! ❤️ Thank you so much for hosting this challenge!

Thanks so much, Kristen! Took a couple tries but worked out in the end :)

Super classy it looks just as good as the original but probably made of better materials. Thanks for hosting this challenge my video is coming along.
Thank you!! Can't wait to watch yours :)
YAY! Way to keep fighting!!!!
Try "Plummer's Putty" to fill those indentations. It's rock hard, doesn't shrink, paintable and cheap.
Thanks!

Sweet! Thanks for watching.
Kicking ass, gf. Getting better and better.

Can you talk about how you clean your brushes particularly after using the poly acrylic?
Hey Lena! I use water based poly so just clean with soap and water…
The difference is amazing! I would have never known there was only one piece if I hadn’t seen the video. I absolutely love it and I don’t blame you for keeping it.
Thanks Kay!!
So cool, Clara! Much improved 👌🏼❤️

Aw, Kara you're the sweetest, thank you!!!
I’m right there with you…I hate to measure things! Great job!!
Yes, Tanya!! How funny!
Love it! What is that pretty green paint color on the wall behind you if you don't mind? That would look great in my dining room!
I love your videos! Go Devils!
Haha! Thanks Molly! It often disappoints people to hear I just randomly own an ASU sweatshirt and didn't go there haha BUT! Thanks nonetheless :)
@@KnowCanDo - We're cool with that. Everyone is a Sun Devil at heart.
Glad 2 see u moved to bondo!!! I also dislike hinges n measuring. Lol
Haha! Thanks, Shauna!
Great job
Thanks, Connie!
Clara again amazing job 👍
Thank you, Danica!
Lemme just say. I love your dimples!!! 😭❤️ so cute! Anyways, this turned out awesome!! Great job!
Thanks, Marissa!
That's a neat collection of hinge holes Clara haha this turned out perfect, absolutely love it!
Looks good but it will look even better if you move the magnetic catch further forward. At the moment, the cabinet doors slope inwards at that point.
Yep. Didn’t know how to fix that in that moment and didn’t have time but noticed that as well :) thanks for watching!
I would never have known what that piece was originally! Such a beautiful transformation :)
Haha! SUCCESS! :) Thanks for the compliment!
👏🏻 yay Clara good work
Thanks!!
It’s turned out beautiful Clara! Thank you so much for hosting this amazing challenge ❤️❤️
Thank you! Such a fun collab :)
I love how you was fighting that Piece (well the doors lol) BUT you Won the battle and Your new TV stand came out Soo pretty and modern ..Loving those legs with the pulls totally seals the deal .. Amazing Claire...I'm binge watching all day...🥰👍❣️❣️💯
Haha thank you Debra!!! I did what I had to do :)
@@KnowCanDo honey I LOVE That Drive In You that for a minute seemed YOU Maybe let go to back burner for a second❣️... BUT After your little Vaca YOU are BACK and You Definitely Are Coming back Into that Drive and I absolutely love This. super happy 😊❣️❣️❣️👍👍💯
Will you be shipping to Canada?
Hopefully. Stay tuned!
I like it. You're very literal, you didn't have to look at furniture, all of you cupboards have hinges. 😊
Yep!!!
I was thinking when I watched this, that maybe using kitchen cabinet hinges and looking at how they are attached may work better. I could be wrong, because I’mnot there :) but those hinges don’t look like they are going to hold up.
Well now I have to go sniff my paint! 🤣
Beautiful beautiful Pakistan
Clara this is gorgeous, love those legs and the style, thanks for hosting this challenge, so much fun
Honestly, I would have just gone with the existing grooves and made it part of the design. Much less work! LOL.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🌺
It's not a microwave cart its a small tv/vcr stand. I have one.
Cool. Well last time I posted one of these and said it was a tv stand everyone told me it was a microwave cart 🤦♀️ Whatever it was, it’s something different now!
Just because Anthropology charges 900. Doesn’t make it high end. It is literally a box with some brass legs. What a rip off.
I mean, I agree.
Hinges are surprisingly hard!!! I've had many issues with them also, and had to look at my cabinets for reference too
Haha, right?!?! Glad I'm not the only one, Michelle! :)
