I actually agree! The plan was to keep it glass but one of the pieces broke. It came with these wire grid inserts over the glass but didn’t look right without the glass. So chicken wire painted black isn’t too overbearing when looking at it.

Looking back I think I used it as one of the knobs for the desk pull outs. I really wish I would have kept this one. I loved it!

For me it depends on each piece of furniture. Some have great details that are highlighted well with two tone. Some are more simple.

Yes! I used 5 mm thick plywood and glued them into the notches with wood glue. It’s maybe a hair higher than the notch but sturdy enough to hold and doesn’t bend. It holds really well and no issues.

Thank you so much for your reply!

Cracked Pepper by Behr. If I did it again I would get the paint in matte and finish with a matte polycrylic. But still love the overall result

Yea I had weird issues with this one. I’m very careful now with the volume when editing.

I did use staples. I am very aware that I wasn’t very descriptive in this process. I just recorded when I could. Maybe I should do a follow video and cover all of the questions and details.

I realize I didn’t show everything and I think I will make a video answering all details. I have kiddos and if I waited to record everything I would never finish anything.

I get that. This was a second hand piece that wasn’t getting any love at all. Probably headed to the curb. It now sits in a home and is used often and loved. Not in a land fill.

A clear silicone sealant found near caulking in the store

I didn’t spray this one. I rolled and brushed but it was chalk paint. I don’t chalk paint or matte paint settles more evenly and when sanded between coats looks so much better.

I have definitely used regular latex paint but I would recommend a flat or matte finish. This dresser I should have sanded down more, then primer, then paint and finish with a polycrylic. If it’s a stained piece and you want to paint then stripping is not necessary. But if you want to restain in a different color then stripping it before sanding could really save on sandpaper.

@@JamieMCurtin Thank you.

Just barely damp

Hi! Love you and miss you too!

I replaced the two thin boards on the back as new supports and I was able to use a brad nailer and the mail the new boards into those.

I love this table and hope to bring it with us when we have to move, but also nervous.

Yes. We did it the longest way to make our families get excited and anxious! We don’t live near them so wanted it to last longer than a few seconds. 😊

@@JamieMCurtin what I meant was he y'all shooting it on two in a row like that where the obvious one would be right below it. That's what I was saying

It was a fun safe way to reveal to our family, friends and anyone watching.
