I loved all of your projects. I can totally relate to your buffalo check table story.I redid a large round pedestal table.I shortened it to make a coffee table and painted stripes of various shades of blues with white.I then painted a large gold anchor in the center.Even though everyone commented on it and said they loved it,it took a long time to sell.Finally the right customer with a new beach cottage came along and bought it. Now I try to be more neutral in my refinishing if I plan to sell.Love your channel and I look forward to watching more videos, old and new.

@DesertDIY4 жыл бұрын
My paint sprayer was about less than $20 at harbor freight and a staple gun is around that same price as well. The only part that is expensive is the air compressor. You need and air compressor to use that paint gun. I reccomend a t50 size for the staple gun in case you were wondering. I am going to eventually invest in an electric staple gun though. It is hard on the hands and I have arthritis already! Lol

That first piece of furniture was a telephone table that would typically be placed next to a sofa or chair in livingroom. I think its from 1950's or 60s. My grandmother and aunt had them. Their rotary phone would sit on top and the phone book would be in the space underneath. I think I would have kept the top part though because for me it's a fun memory.

@DesertDIY4 жыл бұрын
For Joy or anyone else who may be wondering, the reason I do not change the old fabric or foam: 1. Foam is expensive, and I am not made of money. If you buy a project and then spend more than the project is worth on foam then you wont be able to resell for any type of profit. 2.it is difficult to shape a piece of foam perfectly, and the original foam or padding is already the perfect shape. 3. Foam and fabric can easily be cleaned and reused (it's good for the earth and your wallet). I also apply a bedbug treatment to every upholstered piece before I film JUST IN CASE. You never know. 4. It helps make the project easier and faster and does not have any negative results 5. Doing projects in this way helps me to build confidence in my viewers. I want my projects to be something everyone feels confident trying on their own. 6. The old fabric holds the old foam or padding in place which makes reupholstering easier. There are some cases where replacing the padding would be necessary: If it had a smell you couldn't get out, it was too flat from overuse, it was falling apart, or you suspect any type of bug activity.

Thanks for explaining this. I was wondering why you didn’t change out the old seat. It make sense. What do you use to spray for bugs?

@@karenbutcher5921 I use a powder that is for bed bugs and lice. I sprinkle the powder over the seat and pat the powder into the fabric a few times and let it sit for at least one day. Then I vacuum it clean before I work on my project. Any brand is fine, just look for it to say that it is used for bedbugs specifically.
