I'm an artist who is also conversant in faux paint finishes. Your mistake was to stop your brushstroke at the edge of the table. You should continue with one long sweeping stroke that starts before the edge and continues beyond the edge of the surface. Then you won't get those raggedy-looking edges to the finish. Best regards. I love to see people taking on artistic projects of all kinds.
After all that work, I would have started over on the top. Those imperfections would be the only thing I could see. I did something almost exactly when refinishing a buffet table handed we down from grand-mil it took 2 extra days to complete but much better than leaving the errors!
I agree totally!!! Thicker foam and new material for the chairs would have been nice, but gotta give this young lady KUDOS!!!… for all the commitment she put into this project!!!
@@gailwilliams5278 Yes, next time she goes to Joannes Fabric she can see if anything, as my mother would say, strikes her eye. They have some nice indoor/outdoor fabric that is easier to keep clean
Gorgeous work and how great you restored something old instead of throwing it away. Here's a little trick I learned from my dad, you can fix screw holes that are stripped or just too big with some toothpicks and wood glue. It's a cheap and easy method that works great :)
Good job! You saved your family a chunk of money, kept your old table from going into the trash and learned some new skills. That's a win all the way around.
She really didn't save her family money. She spent money. Still she spent very little and got her family a great value using elbow grease to make the difference.
This video was so fun to watch. None of the usual hoity-toity overkill perfection for top dollar steps. No offense to the mega furniture flippers, those are great too, but they seem to be everywhere. And this was done exactly the way most amateurs would do it. Cute, clever and real!
It’s so nice to see what people do when they refinish something they already have. Regardless of personal style, I think we can all agree it looks amazing!
You did a beautiful job. Since you had the chair cushions off, I think they would have looked even nicer with a pretty light colored cloth fabric. Like the inspiration.
You did a great job refinishing that dining set. Also im so glad Toni/Tony did not delete the part where you reacted to the leaves falling in your head.
Love what you did with Mr. Caterpillar. That was absolutely charming. I could have watched more of that conversation. Don't be hard about yourself not fixing those cracks earlier. Sometimes the cracks are not fully revealed until the first top coat goes on. A primer coat can look so blotchy that the wood flaws are less evident.
Thank you Toni for not cutting out the scream 😋I have an idea for the next project: DIY bookshelf - I think your books are getting too heavy 🤭or is there already a video about that? *looks for the video*
I used to love watching a woman with a business of furniture flipping. She would get pieces in trash if they were mostly intact physically. You are also very creative and talented. Go luck. It will be epic
Very impressed with your work, patience & knowledge. I'm going to refinish my coffee table. My husband wants me to use a sander but I've never used one. I'll do my best & I'll have to sand the legs with a cloth. You've inspired me to get it started. Thank you, God Bless✝️🙏🏼
I hate starting projects because things often go wrong, and then I feel hopeless. But this woman impressed me with her determination and hard work. Her dining table makeover is beautiful!
You are very gifted everything you did with being trial and error with solutions is absolutely beautiful worth 100 times more than any big furniture company could ever make
Very very good project ‼️ Real,clear,informative,interesting! I definitely recommend this channel as a refurbishing school not just for women’s education but also for young children who want to learn about their abilities and skills….. Be blessed and highly favored and motivated to find more content🥰
Great job! I liked that you included your mistakes and how you fixed them. Anyone who has tried to repurpose furniture will make mistakes. It’s nice to have tips on how to deal with mistakes.
Idk how I found you but I am so glad I did. I've been binge watching and I absolutely love this channel. You deserve way more subscribers! Everyone smash that like button and subscribe. You're killing it girl!
You are a true artist. Always enjoy seeing the before and after. One reason I like watching all your videos is the explanations you give and the guidance.
It is beautiful and I love the restraint you used with the distressing. Some manufactures let you choose your distressing preferences and believe it or not this set would be under " heavily distressed." Sadly most DIY TH-camrs have an all or nothing attitude on distressing. Either they go way too far and make a mess or they add none at all. Most pieces with notable exceptions need some degree of distressing or the look is too fresh. Most of the best furniture pieces out of North Carolina (Henredon, Drexel, Hickory Chair, etc) are so lightly distressed most people don't even see it. My daughter was studying architecture/design, said she didn't like distressing adding, "None of your furniture is distressed." I assured her they were. She was amazed when I pointed out the marks, dents and very light specks. You did a great job.
This looks absolutely amazing!!!!! You should refinish furniture for a living!!! No need to buy furniture anymore! What a masterpiece! I love it! Beautiful!
i just came across your channel a few days ago and i cant stop watching!! i've been bingeing your channel for days now lol, you're amazing at what you do!!
Kiddo, you did a very nice job on your "new" table. The wood grain looks natural, I think. Thank for the instruction just in case I ever want to tackle a table like this. Lol.*
OMG!!!! This turned out so beautifully!!! I love LOVE how the wood graining effect turned out!! 😮 it really looks amazing!! NICE JOB!!!!! And I'll say it again -- I love how you make your videos! Funny and yet I'm learning! Perfect. Thank you!!
What a fantastic job you did with the table & chairs!!! And the way you explained, talked through, and demonstrated the process was so good & entertaining, especially for a person like me, who has no ability or skill to do this kind of project. You have a new subscriber!
I’m so glad that you’re doing this because I want to paint my dinette set and I wasn’t sure if I should try it or not but you’ve given me the some good ideas for mine . I love the yours it’s beautiful !
Great job. Love how it turned out. As a fellow furniture flipper, I am amazed the gel stain went over the wax on the top. Never tried that. Glad it worked out.
Beautiful! After all your meticulous work I was really gritting my teeth as you brought the table into the house. I once had a similar dining set, and the legs being set into the apron that way were actually removable, which made moving the table far simpler.
You did a beautiful job, looks great. Thoroughly enjoyed the oops, the caterpillar, the cats and the spray thingy!!! I use my spray thingy a lot!! Thanks for sharing !
Fantastic job. I agree with a light color cushion. But could come when you decide to make a change. You have to do want you like. I changed my seat cushions to match a curtain change. It’s fun . Enjoy 😊

@@elephantintheroom5678 I can’t find your channel. It says, “This channel doesn't have any content”.
@@naomimiranda6755 I'm an artist, not a TH-camr, so I'm not surprised.
Aunties and wood killer. Ugly paint.
Looks great, I’d cover the chair cushions and put thicker foam pads as well.
I'm surprised she didn't take the opportunity to recover the chair pads - table came out great but the chair pads look cheap
I was thinking the same thing.
I agree totally!!! Thicker foam and new material for the chairs would have been nice, but gotta give this young lady KUDOS!!!… for all the commitment she put into this project!!!
She can always redo the seat cushions when inspiration strikes.

I’ve always used match sticks
Thank you! I love great tips in the comments
I learned the same from my mother.either match sticks or toothpicks!

Amazing? I wouldn't go that far
@@Sandi-zh2wx The transformation was pretty amazing.
Well she did buy it at a garage sale for 30 dollars. Still she did a great job.
@@pippadawg7037 Very resourceful n smart, Congratulations.
I love the care you took for nature
You did a beautiful job. Since you had the chair cushions off, I think they would have looked even nicer with a pretty light colored cloth fabric. Like the inspiration.
Thank you ☺️
Agreed
Great idea that could be another project at a other time.
Having children and light colored fabric doesn’t fair too well unless it’s abed to be wiped off.
@@CarolBlair-ni1df Could be dark material - just not black vinyl
The quality of the old table was worth the refinish. All the new stuff is made in China and uses particle board. Good for you!
Or the resin/foam.
Your dining set turned out beautifully. I’m glad you shared the oopses and how you fixed them, great job!!!
Thanks so much! 😊
its beautiful, but i do think you might want to cover the seat cushions
That came out nicely.
You did a great job refinishing that dining set. Also im so glad Toni/Tony did not delete the part where you reacted to the leaves falling in your head.
Hahaha also glad you didn’t cut the leaf scream out. 😂
You having a respectful conversation with the caterpillar 🐛 was a treat 😁🥰
The finish product is Beautiful!! A lot of work, but you saved a lot of money. Your table is much more beautiful than the store table! 🥰
Love what you did with Mr. Caterpillar. That was absolutely charming. I could have watched more of that conversation.
Don't be hard about yourself not fixing those cracks earlier. Sometimes the cracks are not fully revealed until the first top coat goes on. A primer coat can look so blotchy that the wood flaws are less evident.
Thank you Toni for not cutting out the scream 😋I have an idea for the next project: DIY bookshelf - I think your books are getting too heavy 🤭or is there already a video about that? *looks for the video*
Haha you can see the bookshelves are smiling 😂 yes possibly in the future
I used to love watching a woman with a business of furniture flipping. She would get pieces in trash if they were mostly intact physically. You are also very creative and talented. Go luck. It will be epic
Wow! Excellent work! That tabletop turned out beautifully!
I love how you did this transformation of your table and chairs. It is just beautiful. Again I love it. Keep up the good work 😊

Looks great…need to cover the cushions with something jazzy!
😜classy.😁
Great job! You have good taste! Your choice of colors moved the dining set into a high-end item! Beautiful!
You did a great job! You have a unique dining set that you will enjoy for a long time to come❤
I hope your family appreciates all your work and your care in giving them a wonderful dinner table. And at a huge savings. You got it going on!
I hate starting projects because things often go wrong, and then I feel hopeless. But this woman impressed me with her determination and hard work. Her dining table makeover is beautiful!
Wow! You have really made this look amazing, probably much nicer than when it was first made! I love the colors and finishes!
You are very gifted everything you did with being trial and error with solutions is absolutely beautiful worth 100 times more than any big furniture company could ever make
Great job Tiffany. Thank you for sharing the whole process. The finished product is lovely!! 👍🏻😄

I think the design of your table and chairs is unique!! Love what u did!
The table came out Great!!!! Tiffany you did an amazing job.
Thank you ☺️
The whisk broom is a great idea. It turned out beautiful!
good job on recreating a wood look on the top of the table. it looks exactly like the real thing.
Thank you ☺️

WOW! Absolutely Beautiful!!! ❤ Awesome job! Well Done! 🎉🎊
Great job, especially the top. You took your time and did it right, which is how it should be done.
You did a fantastic job!! I really liked the wood grain created by the antiquing wax.
This looks absolutely amazing!!!!! You should refinish furniture for a living!!! No need to buy furniture anymore! What a masterpiece! I love it! Beautiful!
Wow that is really nice I never seen that before the top of that table is gorgeous and the broom wow
Wow 😲😳😮😊 that looks like some expensive looking table. You did a great awesome job 👏🎉❤🥰💐💐.
I absolutely love it your amazing ! I’m ok with the seats 😉 perfect for a table you use everyday ! Looks clean and modernized! You did a beautiful job
Stunning, a lot of hard work and what a fabulous result. Beautiful ❤❤❤❤
BEAUTIFUL job! I love the refinished set much better than the newer set 🪑
You now have a good solid unique table that looks like it is kitty approved.
Really looks amazing such a great turnaround on an old set
Looks so good! That was a lot of work but you did it right, prepping your surfaces, priming etc. Should last a long time.
What a transformation! It looks fantastic. Lots of work, but now one of a kind!
I'm normally not a fan of painting wood, but this came out beautifully. Well done!
You did a beautiful job. The table and chairs are so pretty.
I love how the cat tried out the new dining setting. Beautiful job and I learnt a lot thank you 🥰
It had an eye out on the progress and was the first to try it out
@@doloreskozlowski Yep 😁
👍 very nicely done!
You took what you had and made it new again.
I ❤️the way you refinished the table and chairs-beautiful results!
I enjoyed this video, good for you to take on this project....
❤ watching your process! You did such a fine job. The finished product is beautiful!
i just came across your channel a few days ago and i cant stop watching!! i've been bingeing your channel for days now lol, you're amazing at what you do!!
Thank you ☺️
That is fabulous!!! A coat of paint or 3 or 4 makes old, brand new. You did a great job.
I really enjoyed your video. You are definitely very patient! It turned out so nice!
Great job! The table is looking fantastic, and you have saved a $1000 , this is awesome. A lot work but so worth it.
A great and rewarding project! Enjoy you beautiful dining set with happy dinners 😊
I had no idea it would be that much work. You did an excellent job. It looks beautiful.
So pretty! And you saved a table and chair set!! Love that!!✌️❤️🙏
Kiddo, you did a very nice job on your "new" table. The wood grain looks natural, I think. Thank for the instruction just in case I ever want to tackle a table like this. Lol.*
An amazing transformation ! It's beautiful. Loved your kitties !!!!
You always do such a beautiful job. Thank you for sharing. You are very inspiring.
Table and chairs turned out very nice when you were finished.
My mom has a dining set from the 1970s. One summer, we redid the seat covers and she still has the set. For a fifty year old set, it’s amazing!
Great job and beautiful transformation. Love the before and after pictures. 😊
Very beautiful. Well done!
I know it is a hard work but it is worth it❤
Beautiful job you did a wonderful job of that old table and you brought it back to life. That’s what I like to see him videos. Thanks for sharing.
You go, girl! Great job. Please try more DIY. Projects are very satisfying. Oh, please NO taking Christ's name in vain, that's offensive.
True
Wow! I am so impressed. It looks lovely. You did a great job.
Excellent work and beautiful results!
OMG!!!! This turned out so beautifully!!! I love LOVE how the wood graining effect turned out!! 😮 it really looks amazing!! NICE JOB!!!!! And I'll say it again -- I love how you make your videos! Funny and yet I'm learning! Perfect. Thank you!!
I love the idea of refinishing old furniture instead of buying something new. Most of our furniture is second hand.
You did a beautiful job. Much better than a brand-new dining set. Well done.
Great discussion and humor during the project!!!
What a fantastic job you did with the table & chairs!!! And the way you explained, talked through, and demonstrated the process was so good & entertaining, especially for a person like me, who has no ability or skill to do this kind of project. You have a new subscriber!
I think it actually has more interest with the chair details and the leg details on the table
I really like how you kept the black seat covers! Looks fabulous
It's always fun to upgrade something you already have, while also saving money.
I’m so glad that you’re doing this because I want to paint my dinette set and I wasn’t sure if I should try it or not but you’ve given me the some good ideas for mine . I love the yours it’s beautiful !

Gorgeous outcome! Thanks for sharing
Well done!!! Great result experimenting with the top stain as well!😊
You did a beautiful job, looks great. Thoroughly enjoyed the oops, the caterpillar, the cats and the spray thingy!!!
I use my spray thingy a lot!!
Thanks for sharing !
"Toni, make sure you delete that out of the video" made me spit my coffee lol... love your content!
Nice work it looks fantastic and can't beat that savings!
Well worth the work 💕 Don’t ya love recreating ?
I do for sure! Great job and I like the black chair seats.
Adorable baby kitty ready to place his order... say the restaurant is very nice and fancy. 😊❤❤❤❤ looks great.
Oh my goodness! So much work! You have a lot more patience and energy than I do. 👍🏻
Fantastic job. I agree with a light color cushion. But could come when you decide to make a change. You have to do want you like. I changed my seat cushions to match a curtain change. It’s fun . Enjoy 😊
