Brighten Up Your Dark Furniture | Free Coffee Table Makeover

[@phyllishume5854]

I went from thinking 'who would want that big chunky coffee table?' ... to saying 'I want that coffee table!'. Beautiful.

[@nancyberg6260]

The person or people that receive this coffee table are fortunate. As are we. Thank you for bringing it back to be a star.

[@Star825]

I painted ALL my furniture white last year and added gleaming accessories! I Love it!!! The mood of the entire house has changed. It’s amazing what some paint can do to transform your life and energy of the home. Nice job 👍.

[@dedeisblessed]

I agree! I did the same thing…went from dark to white and everything is sooo much prettier and brighter. I absolutely love it!

[@jhennessyde-la-fuente7193]

Look really nice, and it is true, this type of furniture is really pricey, even if you buy it at a second hand store. Your neighbor did not know that he was throwing some good cash money in the curve!

[@MeteoricMarlin]

I think it’d be really cool if you made a segment on your channel where you view subscriber submissions to help them decide how to flip their own projects. I think you have a great eye for this sort of stuff, and I think people would love to hear your suggestions.

[@bobwadsworth4799]

I second that!

[@Sydney8293]

I agree! Great idea. 👍

[@dianebay6879]

I agree also@

Agreed!!

[@briellekilleen]

I agree, this would be dope!

[@dorothypalacios9888]

Katie, I absolutely love your style of furniture makeovers! I am 74 yrs young and will be living alone on my survivor benefits. I would just love to have an accent piece or a couple of made over night stands or tables. I really love the tables you make out of old dressing tables. That’s an ingenious way to give an old piece a new life for someone who will again love it in it’s made over state. May Jehovah God continue to bless you in your ventures. I adore your work.

Hey Dorothy! I was reading your comment and my eyes just bulged when I read Jehovah's name in your comment!!! Hello and love from Oregon!

Hi Dorothy, I was curious if your a witness 😂

[@kristinab1078]

I'm glad to see you kept the integrity of the wood grain on the top of the table. I think this adds more value than if the entire piece was covered in layers of paint. In the future, I suspect solid wood pieces will be harder to come by and natural wood or gently washed wood will be more appreciated than it is now.

[@roxy4158]

One word or a few more AMAZING AWESOME FABULOUS FANTASTIC ONE OF A KIND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT DESCRIBES YOU!!!!! NO WORDS DESCRIBE YOUR ARTISTRY

[@NoeliaGonzalez7591]

Your neighbors will probably want the coffee table back😊. What a great job. And what a great inspiration for us beginners. Thanks.

[@SuperCaliforniaBarbi]

Yes!

[@debrataylor9348]

Love the paint washed top Beautiful colours Really glad you did the underneath My OCD was starting to play up 😂

[@salvagedbykscott]

Lol, I knew it would have people riled up 😂

[@Tango1one1]

your magic has worked again ! another beauty !

[@ritacatalinich]

Wow , you found a gem & created a beautiful table . The proverb …..ONE MAN’S TRASH IS AN OTHER MAN’S TREASURE , perhaps not the correct words but you see how you can look at a situation & see it differently , you have done a wonderful job just beautiful .

[@tzcleary]

Katie, you’re not only terrific with your painting technic and great teaching, but you bring your exceptional artistic eye! The combination of all of them produces beautiful and unique pieces! I hope Cristina is the recipient of your donation! 😉

[@salvagedbykscott]

Lol, I can’t even fathom what shipping to her would cost! 😅

[@ra3043]

@@salvagedbykscott Do you recommend using a water pressure machine to remove paint after stripping a Louvre door (is a slotted door )?

[@JamesStewartWorldMusic]

This is a seriously worthwhile channel.

[@kathybricco1464]

Table came out beautiful....a charming piece. My personal choice would be to paint the underside of the top to make it fully complete.

[@salvagedbykscott]

Tell me you didn’t watch to the end of the video without telling me you didn’t watch to the end of the video 😜

[@kathybricco1464]

Hey Katie, had to answer a couple phone calls so may have missed that bit if you did paint it. If so, I apologize profusely for the insult that you wouldn't do the entire piece properly. It did come out lovely!@@salvagedbykscott

[@maryannegiangregorio2162]

I watched to the end and didn't see the bottom get painted!

Holy cheeze-balls. The patience and love you poured into that. How beautiful

[@knut982]

If only the coffee table could talk- in this case I will - thank you Katie for bringing out the beauty in me!

[@PKr25-R17]

What a great looking makeover i didn’t think that style table could look interesting but it does. 👍

[@consideredwhisper]

Golly, I am so relieved that the bottom got painted. I was there with my ‘judgy face’ for a few seconds! But you always do a great job, Katie

[@salvagedbykscott]

😂

[@lynncanada1915]

Final is wow! Can actually see the details in the lighter color. MUCH more appealing your way!

[@kimaoyama9594]

Goodness, you knocked it out of the park on this one! I couldn't see where you were going with the stripping of the top and the paint choices until it all came together at the end. Then I was really inspired. Really lovely and what a transformation! Thanks for sharing your gift with all of us.

[@ImranKhan-ww2dp]

Hi

[@jhennessyde-la-fuente7193]

I thought the same thing, now I can see the different technics used for the top and bottom.

[@CEK51]

I would definitely buy this table for $200. It is so beautiful with much character. I love the grain of the wood. You did justice to this table by painting it a light color! Well done.

[@deniceshoup7143]

Lightning the color was the perfect choice for it. Great work

[@IrmaBavaro-vb2sf]

I bet your neighbor would love to have that table now!! Beautiful

[@lllr179]

Beautiful. Going to do this on my first project, an old oak rocker. Worth a try!

[@pamclayton4339]

Oh, my Katie! That is gorgeous! 😍

[@salvagedbykscott]

Thank you 😉

[@Shadicats]

lovely work. Someone sure got lucky when you gave it away.

[@roxy4158]

AMAZING!!!!! i have exactly the same table and will attempt to refinish as you did extraordinarily transformed this curb piece. So amazing to give new life to an old sad lady and with so much love transform her into an amazing beautiful Princess Royal to bow down to in awe!!! I just completed transforming my "brown " 1967 dining room set into a metallic white pearl beauty and recovering the chair seats into pale pearl grey leather!!!! I'm 76 years young and if i can do it anyone can!!! Love from Mississauga Ontario ❤

[@pamboone6921]

Wow!! Awesome coffee table,,,,good job Katie ❤️

[@rfidino]

Coffe tables like that are in every thrift store I go in. I always think they are so dated and ugly. You just changed my mind. Your table is beautiful.

[@salvagedbykscott]

Perfect! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@hannahchante]

Honestly, what a transformation! I am so inspired by your vision!!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

[@dianebay6879]

One of my favorites!!! Absolutely stunning!!!!! Wish i lived near you, id buy all your flips!!!!

That is a beautiful table and I love watching this furniture be refinished. I don’t think there are enough years left for me to learn all of this. I sure wish I could do it. Thanks for saving things from the landfill.

I am so happy to see someone use a sponge applicator to apply topcoat and do it CORRECTLY. Lol Great explanation and great shots of that process.

Every piece you do I think is the best and today is no exception! I really am loving you explaining how and why you're doing each step. You are an excellent teacher! Thanks and have a great week. Can't wait to see your next.

Gorgeous! If I hadn't watched you upcycle I would swear it's a different table.

[@farmers-daughter2000]

I remember this style when it was new. That table was used hard put away wet. It can only be better. My furniture is red oak bought it all in 1995. Not in style, but I still love it.

I used your video to help guide me throughout the project. They turned out fabulous & I couldn't be more pleased. Thanks again so very much!!

[@jodirauth8847]

Wow I'm blown away at how good this looks. What was a curb side discard, that was so ugly. This piece of furniture my husband would have burned. Now it's super cute and fresh looking. You have given it such a new lease on life and it is nolonger a discard.

[@pateicialane4740]

Tip get a plastic carrier bag put your paint try inside pour paint onto bag and when you have finished painting take bag off and bin and no try to wash! ♥️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
