​@@whynotredesign how can you transform my furniture for me? I love your makeovers.

Oh my, I feel the same I have my mom’s table chairs and hutch I’ve never done any such stuff but I am motivated 😅

[@biscaynemilagrosa8883]

This is a beautiful makeover. I agree with you tables are a hard flip. There is a lot more time spent on them than people know. This one was worth every penny paid by your client but you probably deserved more! Excellent job again this week!

[@whynotredesign]

Thank you very much. I appreciate it 😄

[@candacewalsh8726]

You will not believe this but your customer not only has my EXACT table and chairs but the EXACT SAME china hutch! 😮 I was looking for a tutorial to inspire me to redo the SAME table - ( mind blown ! ) You have really inspired and frightened me 😏 I love, love your videos - your work - your pro tips ❣️ I may tackle the table and see about the chairs - I know just from cleaning them for MANY years what a pain they will be and I share your dislike of working on chairs in general Thanks for all your inspiring tutorials and especially for showing me what is possible for my dining room set 🙏

[@whynotredesign]

It makes me very happy to read this. I am so glad I could help. Please share your results with me. Email me or message me on Instagram. 🫶🏼. I know it’s going to be amazing.

Wow! I have the same table and chairs, and had given up hope that I'd actually like them in their current 'cherry' state. What a gift to have found this video. Thank you for sharing it!

I have the same exact table, I have been thinking of refinishing it. I think I am going for maple finish.

[@whynotredesign]

Go for it. It will be beautiful 😍

[@JulieWalton-pc8tw]

Gorgeous. I have this very set. I am a complete amateur but I think I’m going to try this. I inherited the table from my mom.

I hope you have fun with it! It’s rewarding.

This looks great. You did an excellent job! Love to see you work. You're inspiring.

Thank you so much!

[@rebeccabrock404]

Stunning! I would love to see what it looked like with the cushions. I was about to replace my table and chairs that look exactly like this but you inspired me to try to refinish the pieces.

[@whynotredesign]

Thank you so much! I wish I had a picture of the cushions, the client never sent me one. 😔.

[@mrsd6allnatural]

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. I have the exact table and chairs. I have gone back and forth with what to do with it. I was going to sell it , then redo it, then trash it...OMG. I am now preparing to move and I thought of the cost to buy another. Well... I decided to make it over. This morning I decided to look for ideas and there you were. Did I Say Thank You? So, Thank you for sharing and being an inspiration. Have a Great Day.

Thanks si much Jen. Yes, not even going to lie. It’s a lot of work. You can do it tho. Don’t have to work on all of them at once. Do two at a time and finish them completely, you’ll be done in less time than you think and so proud of yourself. 💖

Chaaaaaaaaaaaaairs! 😬 They're so worth the effort in the end, but soooo much work. I'll need to look into that stripper, love that it's water clean up. The table turned out insane, Eliana! 😍 That black stripe also ties into the chairs. I have one of those personal table and chair projects that never ends as well. Some day we will finish them! 😆

[@whynotredesign]

Someday my friend. You’re welcome to win 😂🤣😂. Thanks so much 😘

[@DMelissaDevaney-up1iq]

Hi Elena Thank you for your step process. You have truly been blessed with great talent. The time you took to do this project was worth the result. This performance helps those of us with fear of trying to make our old into new. I too own the exact same table. I am moving and need to make my table a pottery barn type also. Please pray that I gain the courage to try this. PS wish you were my next door neighbor. Any chance your shop is in Massachusetts? TY again.🌺

[@whynotredesign]

Thank you so much!

[@glennbrigan4434]

I have that same table and chairs I believe! We bought it about 38 years ago. A Thomasville Collectors Cherry dining set. Our table is in great shape still. However a couple of the chairs need to be refinished on the top of the back of the chair. My question is do you know what stain and color of stain I need to get that dark rich color? And what clear coat finish do I need to match the high gloss finish? Is it a lacquer?

[@whynotredesign]

It sounds like you have a beautiful set! I don't know what the original stain color was so I can’t help for yours; but the products I used in this video are linked in the description. Thanks so much for watching.

[@beatricelutchmiah8399]

Damn ! That’s stunning!!! DO MINE!

[@whynotredesign]

Thank you very much. 😃😍

[@Nancyalytzel]

That is amazing! Did you make a video on adding the seat?

[@whynotredesign]

The customer did that themselves 😀. Thank you

[@latoyabrake352]

Love this video! I have this exact set. It's my mom's and instead of getting rid of it I wanted to update it somehow. I have been searching for something to give me an idea on what to do with it. Thanks so much! I have a project to do! Hopefully it comes out just as beautiful. Did you do anything with the china hutch? My idea was to separate it and make it a wine bar. If you did update the china hutch, do you have a video on it? Thanks so much for your video!

[@whynotredesign]

I’m so glad I could give you inspiration. Have fun 🤩

[@lauramyers7484]

Gorgeous 🥰 but I really want to know how she recovered the seats!

[@whynotredesign]

Thank you. This is still at my shop. I’m really curious about it myself. Hopefully she will send me pics and I’ll be happy to post it 🥰

[@janetboette7013]

I have same type table! I want this look! Want to see the hutch

[@whynotredesign]

Thank you for watching. The client split the hutch and we only used the bottom. Made it into a buffet painted black. 🖤. I have pics on my Instagram : instagram.com/p/Cev0lHurBiL/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

[@benniececiliamattox7426]

What a trouper you are! I get worn out just doing 4 chairs....8 would push me over the edge!! The dining table is fabulous and the chairs look so modern. I have had a difficult time finding something to use for a natural wood color so I will definitely try DB putty. When you remove the stain from a piece, is there no longer danger of bleed through? Love your videos with the details you share through each phase of the makeover.

[@whynotredesign]

Thank you so much Bennie. I’m so happy to hear these help. Once you remove the stain completely there should be no tannins that would bleed thru unless! The stain isn’t too old and was oil; however the chances of this are very low. Should this happen you could use a flat clear coat to semi-seal the wood and then do the wash.

[@dianah.2684]

You are awesome

[@whynotredesign]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@noelenedutton4744]

What about the cushions?? Did you change them too? Love the table and chair refurbish 🖤

[@DMelissaDevaney-up1iq]

Hi again Elena, Is it difficult to use the spray thing and what do I buy? Also was wondering what do you put on the top after table is whitewashed. Could not understand what you said. TY

[@whynotredesign]

You need to put clear coat/protective coat

[@deborahstroud8965]

How many hours to do the whole dining set? I want to do mine same. It is hardwood cherry. I also have the buffet table and the China cabinet. I’m afraid Inwill start and never finish bc it’s just too much. And I really want it done by Thanksgiving l. Thanks for your video

[@whynotredesign]

Give yourself some grace. Start and promise yourself to finish, doesn’t matter how long it will take. Just commit to it. I did it in a week but I work 4-6 hrs a day and I’m sure I was doing other projects along side it. Now, remember I do this professionally and have for many years so my pace won’t be the same as yours. Take your project stages. Table first and finish it. The chairs and finish. Those will take longer, trust me. Then decide whether or not to do the other pieces by your deadline or give yourself a new one, maybe my Xmas. Just star and finish. Don’t start them all at the same time or it will be overwhelming. You can do it. You’ll be so happy and proud. Go for it and have fun.

[@kendriawilson1846]

I have stumbled on your video and you have me sold as a newbie yo your channel! May I ask if something like this is done on our daily table how would it hold up on spills or seating drink glasses? I know that my husband and grandson would not swap by any coasters if I’m not lurking around.

[@whynotredesign]

Yes, absolutely. Just do 3-5 coats of sealer/top coat/poly (nots sure what you call it where you are) but it should do just fine. Thanks for subscribing More soon. I have been away recovering from some surgeries.

[@April-pt7sh]

Love this! I have a similar table and would love to redo it. For the chairs, what prep did you do before priming ?

[@whynotredesign]

Thank you. Prime the chairs the same way as all pieces. Clean, sand, prime. 😊

[@maryellenrush8595]

The chair design is the “turkey” design. Do you see the turkey? It goes back to the George Washington era.

[@whynotredesign]

Ahhh totally! Thank you ☺️

[@gailthomas8472]

I have a table like this, but it is solid oak and stained a dark wood. Can this be done on a solid oak table as well?

[@whynotredesign]

I’m my opinion it will look even prettier done on oak. Oak is the best wood to lighten, bleach and make the bare look with. Go for it.

[@neelofarkhan3392]

Hi, how much does it cost to have this dinning set redone?
