I'm so glad the door knobs turned out so well. Some flippers tend to replace the original knobs with the modern ones and sometimes it makes me groan from disappointment. I'm really passionate about the original knobs. :D

[@flipitnation]

I really liked these knobs, quite unique. I am pleased they cleaned up okay as sometimes the finish dissolves and you are left kicking yourself for cleaning them!! Lucky that wasn't the case this time! Thank you for watching :)

[@Trammiliin_nr2]

@@flipitnation I was worried about it, too. Hold my breath when you pulled that knob out from the bucket. 😂

your son is a doll, thanks for the baby bubble break. I love the restoration.

😊 thank you

[@alysonmarie]

I really enjoy your videos, but I also need to say that the expression of absolute wonder and joy due to bubbles definitely lifted my heart.

Those two nightstands were worth saving. I love their style. I think your choice of stain and finish was very good. Lovely color. And I'm glad the knobs cleaned up well, they're so unique.

[@flipitnation]

Thank you, I was quite pleased with how the stain turned out!

Honestly, just keep doing what you're doing, that what attracted us in the first place. The fact that you keep finding different and unique items to save keeps it entertaining. Just be you mate 👍

The white wash really helped bring out a different color to these pieces. I saw a lot of these style night stands while stationed in Germany, were very common in rental units. 😊

[@flipitnation]

Yes the white wash was a good choice in the end! When I was researching these pieces, I did see a lot had come over from Germany so that makes sense! Thank you for watching :)

Hi 👋😊 Much as I would like to help I am a watcher not a doer. (Personal medical and life reason) So I don't think my input would be of any value.

Hi, when you go to Sand the wood after using the liquid remover, do you let the wood dry first? Thank you

[@sharonbelisle550]

Why didn’t you put the protective glass on the tables? They are so beautiful and a job well done. ❤😅

[@flipitnation]

Sadly the glass was missing from both of the tables. If I was keeping them I would have replaced but is this case, it was not worth the expense when reselling. Thank you :)

[@nathalielord4211]

Superbe! Quick question : why did you choose to keep the metal holders on the top? Are you thinking of adding glass again?

[@flipitnation]

Good question! I had no intention of replacing the glass myself but thought the new owner might. I did consider removing them but because I hadn't seen a piece of furniture with them before, I opted to keep them on as to keep the pieces as original as possible.

[@joannwall6333]

Those really turned out nice. Great job! Question, what are the metal pieces on the top for.

[@flipitnation]

I believe there was a plate of glass on each table, the metal pieces held the glass in place

[@leewood729]

Very nice - and the torn veneer is so minor, it's fine as is.

[@flipitnation]

Thank you :)

[@jaybee8547]

White wash made a huge difference & I like it when people keep the original knobs, but I don't like these ones sadly!🤔😉 I subscribed because I like what you're doing, but I suggest you keep it varied and unusual (everybody seems to be doing mid-century modern).

[@flipitnation]

I try to keep it pretty varied but I do like the odd mcm restoration. I don’t like the knobs either but I try to keep pieces as original as possible. Thanks for watching 😎

[@LJB103]

Great job! What's missing? Based on the hardware, it looks to me as if these originally might have had glass or mirror tops. If not, what are those 3 pieces on each top?

[@flipitnation]

Clips that originally held pieces of glass in place :)

[@anthonynull267]

These had a glass top orignally. That is the brackets that held the glass in place.

[@flipitnation]

Yes, I was sad to see they were both missing. The new owner may replace.

[@coleenburgess6689]

Quick question: your hardware cleanup trick..was that all 3 ingredients combined as in mixed together or 3 separate steps one after the other? I don't want to create an explosion!! Lol. I can't believe you found such a cool pair of nightstands. Out here in California plenty of singles but sadly it's rare to come across a pair. They turned out beautiful!!

[@flipitnation]

Great question! Separately :) The acetone removes the clear coating, the bar keepers friend cleans them up and the polish - you guessed it, polishes :) Thank you for watching!
