AMAZING Restoration of a WHITE PAINTED Mid-Century Coffee Table

In this video, I restore a painted MCM coffee table that was covered head to toe. Watch me use paint stripper, pick tools, sanders, and so much more to remove all the paint.

I can’t believe someone painted it in the first place. You did a fabulous job bringing it back to life 😍

[@gottathinkupanewone]

Someone was probably trying to do a Shabby Chic or Cottage Core room, and thought they could make the table work in it by painting it white. There should be laws against painting good wood -- and I don't even like Mid-Century Modern!

[@wgale6397]

Robertson screws and circa 1850…..definitely Canadian! Beautiful job!

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Yes, definitely! I found it in North Vancouver, and I did a nice amount of research only to find an old listing on Kijiji that was expired, so no information about it was found. Thanks for watching!

[@angelaarena5208]

So glad you brought it back to its former glory . How could anyone paint over this gorgeous table is beyond me. You did a fantastic job. Well done 👏👏👏🥰

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thank you so much! 🙂

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Standing ovation :-)

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks so much Angie!! 🙂

[@oracleoptix]

Absolutely a gorgeous piece...you saved it from it's potential demise, or worse...another person buying it and adding more paint ontop of the existing paint! Nice work!!! 👏😎

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks so much! How did you find the video lol it isn't live yet 😂

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Oh, i figured it out! It shows in my playlist lol didnt know that lol

[@oracleoptix]

@@FurnitureFlippa sorry it posted sooner than you'd expected it too...but I'm happy I was the first to see it; although, I would've watched it no matter when it was posted!

[@oracleoptix]

Also, what type of wire brushes do you use for your pieces (material of the metal and handles) and how to keep them clean? You should do a tutorial on how to clean and maintain your workspace and the tools used, so that DIY folks will know their investment in the tools won't go to waste if they're properly cared for. Just a thought.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

@@oracleoptix Not a problem, I truly appreciate that :) I added it to my public playlist not knowing it would become available lol but I will be posting it public shortly anyways

[@tangormley]

Beautiful work! I love that you don't take shortcuts. You took everything apart and did a thorough job stripping, finishing and assembling. 💙 Ya done good!

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks so much!! :) and thanks for joining TFS

[@Life_of_Rita]

Nothing like seeing a piece of furniture destined for the trash being jerked right out of the jaws of the crusher and landing onto the magic of your work table. What a gorgeous piece!

[@333grace]

Reminds me very much of the 1960's era. Love the warmer wood over the loud white. Very nice work cleaning piece by piece and reassembling. Well done!

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thank you very much!

[@kimzimmerman2492]

WOW! So stunning afterward. Hard to believe the previous owner though a coat of white paint or any paint would be suitable for this iconic piece! This is so much better!

[@donnaezell2161]

Quite a stunner! The design makes such a statement. It's unthinkable to it white. A side note, I can imagine my cats thinking it was their jungle gym.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

It would be a great cat jungle gym 😂 Thanks for watching!

What a beauty…. Now it looks original… I like white version too… it did look really sleek…

[@FurnitureFlippa]

I could see the white working in some décor, but thanks so much!

[@jodidavis6595]

Jamie you knocked this one outta the park 😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I don’t know why ppl paint furniture so poorly but bc they did it made it easier for you to remove and that white was gross lol. I love when you post a video. You never disappoint 👍🏼

[@robertgriffith9703]

Well Done! Great Restoration! I Would Agree with what Colleenbu Said about Upgrading the Underside. People do Look and the Particle Board was a Bit Rougher. You've Really got Stripping the Paint Off down to an Art! Helpful Hints to Move the Process Along more Quickly. And Your having Fun with the Filming Process. I'm Enjoying that!

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks Robert! I think Colleens idea is a great too, I will have to test it out. And thanks, glad you enjoy that! :)

[@coleenburgess6689]

Wow!! What a great find!! Awesome job!! I'd suggest having a sample size paint mixed in a close color match to you stain and using it on the underside particle board. It will help with the finished look. Also use the same paint diluted 50/50 to paint wash the wood on the under side. It will camouflage the leftover white paint in the grain. This was once suggested to me and it was a game changer.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Great idea!! Ill have to test this out, would work nice I am sure

[@karenokeane6461]

FABULOUS.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@Liandra24]

Marvelous restoration. The piece if I was reading correctly is old, and an obvious inspiration for other post modern tables like this. I thought it was a piece from the 1950’s or 60’s. But I must agree, the color on it made it look ugly. The stain you chose is a nice one.

Thanks so much!! Just watched one of your vids, unreal work!

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

“As you can see, they slapped paint EVERYWHERE.” I love quotes from Captain Obvious! 😂 At least the previous owners seem to have removed the glass while they were painting the table. Watching the paint peeling off is so satisfying. You made wonderful choices with the stain. The stand for the legs is great, and so much better than just poking them into a cardboard box. This is such a beautiful restoration and transformation! Why would anyone cover up such beautiful wood grain?

[@FurnitureFlippa]

😂 lol yes thankfully... But thanks so much. Thanks for watching :)

[@susanfodera3308]

What type of wood is it? It came out beautiful.

[@kayhenry6293]

Beautiful; you did a fantastic job! But, I’m a painted furniture person. I can accept maybe one piece of natural wood in a room then I want the rest painted.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thank you! and understandable!

[@Celiamarcal2]

Gostei de como fez o móvel se transformar com outro visual mais requintado. Trabalho limpo e bom para assistir. Corrigindo os estragos do tempo.

I didn't like the white but, I'm not crazy about that stain. You did a fabulous job though.

[@laineymcd4074]

Well she did seem to do a good paint job. Pity, for her, great for you, her prep was a bit lacking. Another lovely piece you have created.

Thank you!! She definitely covered it well haha

Thank you! And I usually sell locally in Vancouver BC!

[@mollysheridan7134]

Fantastic transformation! Usually these painted pieces have an obvious flaw or stain that was covered by the paint. This piece didn’t seem to have any. So why??? Ugh

I know! I didn't know what to expect, glad it was a pretty straightforward strip and refinish type of job
