Restoration of an Antique Hall Table/Umbrella Stand | Furniture Makeover

#furniture #furniturerestoration #makeover #antique
In this video I restore an antique hall table/umbrella stand, I've had this sitting around for a while, It's actually been in my hall, waiting to be done. It's now gone back where it belongs and is in a much better state, long may it hold my keys and umbrellas! Let me know what you think in the comments.

I am a 60 year old German, but i remember Brasso since i was a child. My Uncle had a ship and braught Brasso allway from England. It was better than most german brass cleaner and polisher.

Still available today.

Beautiful item of furniture and first class workmanship in the restoration.

[@GM_Design]

Thank you very much!

[@helenrosetipper3200]

A beautiful and sensitive restoration...the fabulous brass handle you married the piece up with works perfectly with the stand's original era, and the black enamel-looking finish of the umbrella receivers works a treat, LOVE the restored brass curved bars in all their original glory! Thank you.

[@GM_Design]

thank you, so pleased you enjoyed it 😀

[@leameymartina6139]

beautiful restoration, love your choice of stain and hardware, especially love the trick with the stick in the container to clean the scraper

[@GM_Design]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@lindamarsh6711]

I was just going to write it’s nice to see the original umbrella rain catching pans in great shape. They’ll look great if you can fix and polish them! It turned out beautifully. Better than the other one I saw. They threw out the pans!

[@GM_Design]

Thanks, so pleased you like it 😀

[@MrHuismeester]

It is looking great and original again, and love the color ! Nice Job ! Greets from The Netherlands !

[@GM_Design]

Thank you very much!

[@memecats5698]

Absolutely beautiful! It’s so good to have things “not” painted and keep the natural wood, it’s so much more timeless. Nowadays everybody thinks for a quick flip just paint it.

[@GM_Design]

thanks, glad you liked it

[@MarTay1079]

Love it, a small bit of elbow grease and the brass came up a treat.

[@GM_Design]

It looks great , I might have used some shallac but that is just my go to finish I dont know how to use wax oil as a finish but thats why I watch videos, to learn something new. Thanks

[@dhonlutje]

Just seen your channel and the work you do is wonderful. So many tasks using traditional tools too, just like in my dad's toolbox. What a considered transformation, restoring it's original beauty.

[@GM_Design]

LOvely!

[@GM_Design]

Thank you! 😊

[@mags8014]

As ever - brilliant! Reminds me of a similar hallstand we had when I was a child (though with the mirror and coat hooks). I wonder what happened to it - thrown out in the “contemporary furniture” ‘60s I expect! Thanks for a great video.

[@GM_Design]

My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it 😀

[@lisamello1228]

Handle choice was spot on. With the umbrella trays, I might have left them with the pitted look or my husband had said about make new ones out of copper. All in all a wonderful looking piece.

[@user-wn3em8xj6g]

Very beautiful. Awesome work.

[@GM_Design]

Thank you so much 😀

[@KimRinehart]

What a fabulous job!!! I really love this stand!! All your choices were just perfect for the piece 🤗

[@GM_Design]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@RumMonkeyable]

Beautiful piece. Flat black for rain trays? Great job! 👏👍✨😍

[@GM_Design]

Thanks, glad you liked it 😀

[@TheCraftyMagnolia]

I love it! The color is perfect and I think the brass just takes it back to the day it was born. You do such nice work. ❤

[@GM_Design]

Thank you so much!

[@jeanreynolds1772]

Love the handles!

[@MayfieldRestorations]

I’m loving your work buddy. Only just seen your channel recently and subscribed straight away. Keep up the good work 😀👍

[@GM_Design]

That’s fantastic, thanks David 😊

[@katherineharper-sj4ys]

What a nice looking table. Great job. I enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.

[@GM_Design]

Thanks for watching!

[@CrazyCatLady1968]

Very pretty! The old umbrella stands are so cool. I've decided it's a good thing I have a very small house or I would have more antique & vintage furniture than one human being needs lolol

[@GM_Design]

Glad you liked it 😀 Letting some of the pieces go can be tricky at times, but like you I don’t have a TARDIS to store it all! 😂

[@charlenegoskowicz8220]

Beautiful! And I very much like your choice of drawer pull. I actually have a similar table (same era, same wood, same design, but sans umbrella stand) and its original handle very close to your choice. Well, you've gained a subscriber...

[@GM_Design]

Thank you so much, glad you liked it 😀

[@stevesiefken6432]

What grit sandpaper did you use on the brass?
Beautifully refinished piece, nice work! 👍🏻

[@GM_Design]

Thanks, glad you liked it😀 That would’ve been 220g 👍

[@designabeej]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@amybucher5439]

Absolutely gorgeous. The choices you made with stain, the hardware, and making the umbrella tip wells black (if that is what they are called) were spot on.
The only way to survive sanding, IMO, is to put on headphones & listen to some great music. The blues never disappoint.
Weird question: Above your whiteboard on the wall, you have a green machine that looks like it sucks air or something. May I ask what that is?
Finally, the new corner you made was perfect!!! I need to learn how to use those hand plank things.

[@GM_Design]

so glad you liked it 😀Yep I always have some music on, it makes those dull jobs less tedious. That’s exactly what it does, it’s an air filter sucking up the dust, it’s a bit noisy so it’s never on when I’m filming. Thanks for the comments 👍

[@DavZell]

In future videos, it would be nice if you could show the whole piece for a moment. Let us look for a few seconds at the finished piece (and the before, for that matter). Constant panning and showing just portions gets frustrating if you want to actually LOOK at something. [Edited out a word that may have made this sound snarky!)

[@GM_Design]

Thanks for the comment, I’ll bear that in mind for future videos 👍

[@DavZell]

@@GM_Design Awesome! Thanks for responding!
