I was on board with the lightening up of the color, kind of disappointed you took the metal pieces off because I liked those. When you said you were going to add faux wood grain, I though, "Oh, no! That's going to look so cheap." Boy, was I WRONG! All of your design decisions were spot on. These end tables turned out beautifully. I'm amazed at your vision and talent.
I never, NEVER like faux graining……. but Katie, you’ve become great at the technique and have changed my mind! What a great job at making these into lovely, contemporary pieces. And, while I’m at it, can I just say “THANK YOU” for the easy narration you do. I don’t care how great some content is, if the narration is sing-song or just phoned in….I cannot watch! Thanks for talking to us like a friend or neighbor. Love your work!!! I’m a fan 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great idea to remove the metal pieces. I am so impressed at how you can imagine a new look for these outdated pieces and then make the vision come through! Lovely as usual!
I just rewatched this video. I am just so amazed at how much better these tables are. You sure know how to work magic!!! Love these lighter tables so much!!! ❤
Another fabulous flip. When you first mentioned the wood look for the top I thought "oh no, they already look so nice with the wonderful smooth paint finish." But seeing the finished product, I love it. These two tables would be priced for top dollar at places like Ballard Designs--you worked your magic with two dreary thrifted pieces made of MDF at a fraction of the cost. Beautiful transformation. Love the paint color especially!
What a transformation! Your wood graining technique provides a beautiful finish. And with the lighter color that beaded detail pops! Bravo....again !! Love your work ❤
Oh, how I wish I'd had access to these incredible vids 30 years ago, when I was "rescuing" old furniture for my own home. Your ideas and executions are fabulous -- and a BIG hug of gratitude for telling viewers why and how you do what you do to make the magic happen! Most of us had to learn this art entirely on our own -- with a little help from the guys at the hardware store who may or may not agree with our goals. When I began my adventures in restoration I didn't know what laminate was and literally destroyed what may have been a semi-valuable piece of furniture (still cringing over that disaster). I'm now motivated to redo some of the mistakes I've been living with, and will refinish the pieces in your honor... AND buy needed products using your recommendations!
WOW! 😱 Entirely different style than originally. Not just “updated,” but CREATED! Your “noodling around” to clean out old supplies brought out your Mama Bear Creativity, if I’m allowed to say so! Protect your visionary ideas and continue to grow and teach your impressive skills, please! I’m totally intimidated by “graining tools,” but you dug one out, gave it a good “look-see” and started putting it to work! My dad was a carpenter and built my childhood house around us--he was no fancy guy, but I remember how thrilled he was when he took on the task of making a small book/whatnot wall shelf and mastered the are of Pickled wood painting. I’d not seen it again until recently with all the renovated & reclaimed furniture projects! Gives me a huge smile, on my face & deep in my heart! If they’re interested, please later teach your children…😁🥰
I don't think the metal was ugly but it DID date it. Wow, what a difference. I really love how totally new and fresh they look. Someone will love them in their space.
Amazing! There are actually a couple of these tables sitting at my local Goodwill that I’ve passed on a few times. I’ve been in there. They look a lot like this and you have me inspired! Thanks again Katie for all your hard work.
When you showed us the before I was disappointed because it looked so outdated that I didn't think paint could change that. But wow! It didn't even strike my mind to remove the metal. Looks fantastic now.
Okay, so u inspired me to get started. So far I got all the same tools just gotta get my nerves up to actually do some projects... 😆 Nice job Katie 👍🏾. You give the old finds new life.
Gorgeous! I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you! Working on restoring a 1955 Lane cedar chest that was falling apart and headed to the dumpster, using all of your tips! Total amateur here, but giving it a go!
My favorite center table is one that my grandmother bought in the 60s. She bought it from people who had it on the back porch with potatoes on top of it. Cleaning furniture is a great first step!
Good choice is color to bring out all the detailing, the metal took away from that; I would use the metal for plant trailing on some gorgeous planters 🙌🏼🪴
I was worried about taking the metal out but it definitely works without it. Love the color you painted them! I would never have thought about the wood grain for the top, but again it works! Very nice!
Your furniture flips prove that this is just as much if not more about artistry than about a process.

I thought I liked the metal. Wow! Your vision to remove made them so much better! Love the beachy look for these.

These couldn't look more different than the originals. Great job with this flip and I especially love how the tops turned out! Knock out job, Katie!
I live by the ocean..these tables definitely would sell in the high-end stores here. They're perfect for beachhouse.. Beautiful.
Katie, you always do such a beautiful job on your pieces. These are just beautiful!!❤️
From looking like the $5 you spent on them to looking like $500 in less than 4½ hours. Very, very nice, Katie!
You have such a good eye for furniture with possibilities. Such a nice vision for each piece.

They're nicer than a lot of things you can get at the furniture store. I like yours better
Love the way they came out! Definitely removing the metal pieces took them to the next level.
They turned out great my friend! Love the updated look.
I have learned so much from you! Love all your flips!

The antiquing and white wash did the trick. Very nicely done, Katie. Thanks for sharing.

They looked fabulous. I just love them ❤️
Just lovely. You lift every piece you work on.

I wasn’t so sure about the beige colour but wow, this turned out so beautifully. Well done.
omg pretty nail color
I was feeling uneasy about the metal gothic arch but they did make them heavier and harder to fit in any decor. This will fit more easily.
Turned out so great! Not my favorite color but I know that others will love it. Respect!
Ohhh Katie, I love what you did with these end tables…you did such a wonderful job on these! 😊
Beautiful. I gotta get a sprayer!
I wish I could find some nice refinished furniture for my living room like this.
First I thought Ooh No because I love red and dark woods! But the beach’y stile is very lovely too 👍🏻
They’d be perfect in my cottage
They are gorgeous! How beautiful!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your attention to detail is much appreciated! Gorgeous!
Amazing! There are actually a couple of these tables sitting at my local Goodwill that I’ve passed on a few times. I’ve been in there. They look a lot like this and you have me inspired! Thanks again Katie for all your hard work.
Dry brushing the light color at the end sold it .. what a great modern beachy look on the tables..
WOW!
Those end tables turned out absolutely gorgeous!!!
It's definitely better with the metal gone.i always love seeing your vision for a piece come together. They are very beautiful.
So beautiful ❤. Love the finished product .
Beautiful! I love the way those turned out! Your paint job goes way beyond a 'paint job. That's art.
Ah-mazing! I never thought they would look so good! You are a magician.
When you showed us the before I was disappointed because it looked so outdated that I didn't think paint could change that. But wow! It didn't even strike my mind to remove the metal. Looks fantastic now.
I love using that graining tool. Such a fun way to change up a piece!
These are absolutely stunning! I don’t have a beachy feel in my house at all, but I would be willing to design a room around these tables! Great job!
Love the transformation. You have inspired me to give this technique of wood grain application a red hot go! 😊
Wow another amazing transformation!
I’m glad you mentioned how much time it took because I feel like you added some special touches to this one. 🌟🌟🌟
Very nice like the color
They look sooo good! Love the new look Katie!! 🥰🥰🥰
The tables are absolutely gorgeous! I'd buy them.
I am super impressed with how these end tables turned out!! ❤
As soon ss you took off the metal grids I could feel the piece breath! Excellent job
They are so high end and pretty
The metal was pretty (but it’s really a dust collector). Wow. These tables look so different & spectacular. Luv this vision of yours.
Another great look! Love how you have such a vision for the finished product!
and Mrs T What a lovely job on these two loved the colour you choose so well done
The faux wood grain on the tops of these tables really came out great! I love the way you were able to update these cute little tables! ❤❤❤
Okay, so u inspired me to get started. So far I got all the same tools just gotta get my nerves up to actually do some projects... 😆 Nice job Katie 👍🏾. You give the old finds new life.
You are such a neat painter 🤩😍 I would have product on me, the floor and everywhere in between!!! 🤣
Love the colors! Also like your clothes-down to your shoes!😊
Gorgeous! I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you! Working on restoring a 1955 Lane cedar chest that was falling apart and headed to the dumpster, using all of your tips! Total amateur here, but giving it a go!
Love the way these turned out. I would definitely put these in my house!
Excellent!! BRAVO!!
Absolutely love these end tables, great job!!!!
So beautiful...as always. Loved the process used for the tops.
Those turned out so beautiful!!
So beautiful Katie 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hi Katie,

My favorite paint faux wood finish to date Katie. Very nicely done. Thank you. What a great score..5 $! ❤
Thank you! 😊
Love this flip! So fresh and clean looking!
Amazing as ever Katie hats off to you👏👏❤❤👌👌👌
Doing these in 3 days with only 4.5 hours is INSANELY impressive!! I can’t even understand how talented you are!
Wow they are absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
YOU HAVE THE BEST VIDEOS ON TH-cam ❤
I love your "painting" grains - it looks really nice. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😀
Love the faux wood tops
The "wood" tops look great.
My favorite center table is one that my grandmother bought in the 60s. She bought it from people who had it on the back porch with potatoes on top of it. Cleaning furniture is a great first step!
Good choice is color to bring out all the detailing, the metal took away from that; I would use the metal for plant trailing on some gorgeous planters 🙌🏼🪴
I love what u did to the tables. U did a wonderful job.
I was worried about taking the metal out but it definitely works without it. Love the color you painted them! I would never have thought about the wood grain for the top, but again it works! Very nice!
Love this! You have such a vision for every piece you tackle.
Wonderful, talented job as always
They turned out lovely 😊
Those tables look amazing. To buy some like that would be very expensive. I would like some of those in my home!
So beautiful 😍 thank you for sharing your skills and inspiring me to start a new project. Watching from Ontario 🇨🇦
So modern! They will fit in anyone's home. Great job.
Absolutely gorgeous! ❤❤
Beautiful! Gosh I wish I was near enough to get those, lol!
Your shop is so clean
It’s really not 😬
They look beautiful!
You really coaxed the beauty out of these end tables. Bravo 👏
They look very classy❤
Very nice. Good save for cheap tables.
Really lovely result!
I liked the metal but the tables came out beautiful!! Great job as usual ❤
Good idea to remove the grates. Total transformation.
Good work space!
Beautiful transformation!
