How I Whitewashed a Dining Room Table

[@tonykole8080]

In not an expert on furniture revamping, but the top looked better in a natural color with just a clear coat.

[@deniseregina78]

I agree.

[@tinastock5212]

I agree looked nicer with the natural colour

[@jenniferthomas4982]

I like this tutorial. You're not annoying, and I like your admitted mistakes and suggestions. Great job! Thanks!

[@NoeliaGonzalez7591]

I usually like the paint and white wash on furniture, but this table in particular looked way better with the first stain. The different wood tones are beautiful and look better with stain and a clear coat. Your work is very detailed and thorough. You take the time to explain . Really good job.

[@nancyasberry8458]

It looked amazing after the first stain.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Yeah this project didn't go as planned lol oops. Still made some money though!

[@nancyasberry8458]

All that counts is that there was someone out there who loved it enough to buy it!

[@lisae3663]

Although a bit out of fashion, I preferred the top color prior to white washing. Not to say you didn’t do a nice job, you did.

[@calvin1148]

Great job! Wondering why you couldn't add the whitewash right onto the raw wood? not sure why you added the stain

[@lulugust8140]

I think..... I'm pretty sure he was just trying to darken up the wood first before he did any type of whitewashing

[@nicolegirardin3418]

Thank you for not just sharing what went well but what would have saved you time. Most people would just put what works and I would have made the same mistakes. It save me a ton of time!!!!

[@fmallow2727]

My goodness what a lot of products you have used. The table top was a bit of a challenge. I loved the aged waxed look on the legs and surround. What a great job. Thanks for sharing.

[@Hearts4You15]

Yep. I like your too cuz he's NOT annoying. Killer table!

[@my_flippin_journey]

That was *alot of work* .. *Congrats on sticking with it*

[@sallyann8686]

love it quite qua big table now I want to do Samy but add a tinge of blue like French country thx

[@kyriacosandeliannaskouroup1829]

I’m not that enthusiastic about your end result. I’m so sorry. I really wanted to like it. The technique was good... the color combo not so much. Also the white rim on the table top looks awkward. Thanks for posting though. Learnt a lot from watching. 😃

[@FurnitureFlippa]

yeah I was trying something new but it didn't end up being nice lol learn from your mistakes right? Thanks for watching!

[@Hailey-e3c]

I have the same one lol its a pain I did mine last week. This thing is heavy. nice job

[@maple9326]

@Furniture Flippa Use mineral spirits with some #0000 steel wool or scrub brush to clean off excess stripper. Mineral sprits will not damage bare wood. You just want to make sure that you wipe it off immediately so the excess doesn't soak in and swell the wood. Repeat until all residue is gone then let dry.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

nice tip thanks!!

[@zonyasvintage7859]

Very nice! That was a massive table I bet your hands and arms were sore! I just finished a table (way smaller) in almost the exact same look and products. I guess it’s on trend. Only I wish I had used the dark wax. It looks great!! Nice work

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks so much!

[@better970]

Love it. Great job

[@ramziasaleem5498]

I have heard you wipe clean with mineral spirit after using paint or varnish remover. Then wait to dry and then sand.

[@kkimberly2004YT]

*Beautiful!* I can see this piece in a very expensive, exclusive furniture showplace selling for 5-6 thousand dollars.

[@LaStryka]

Also the visible ring of darker wood on top should have been hidden completely with paint and then you should have added a wood grain texture to the top of the white wash.

[@alirE2904]

Top was prettier with just stain.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

I agree LOL

[@msjoy2005]

Is this a veneer top? I have one that looks similar

[@NitrosMom074]

That’s the look I want for my dining set, but it’s red oak (very 80s). Do you know if the ebony stain will cut back the red? All my test patches end up with either a pink or purple tint when I whitewash.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

I did apply ebony on a red colored table before, I just sanded down and applied the stain twice. It came out dark with no red! Maybe let the stain dry and if it looks good you can wash over it?

[@NitrosMom074]

@@FurnitureFlippa thanks so much for answering so quickly! I’ll have to do a test patch.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

@@NitrosMom074 no prob good luck!

[@whatsthestorymorningglory2495]

If you do a green based stain, it will cancel out the red.

[@pattimcgrane8874]

Not really my color style, but interesting to watch.

[@mattburke988]

I have a table just like that but it's a little bit more ornate. I would like to restore to the factory finish but don't know how. Even though this young man did a good job on that table I don't necessarily like the painted finish. Can anyone direct me to a site that can help me out

[@mzm4245]

Looks great!

[@FurnitureFlippa]

thank you!

[@jmcountygirl3946]

Was this table top laminate or solid wood??

[@FurnitureFlippa]

wood!

[@rockshot100]

I hate to argue but that top parquet is a veneer if that is what you are referring to. Now "laminate" mostly refers to plastic, but laminate just means to glue sheets together like plywood is. Or a beam could be laminated, meaning sandwiched together to make it more stable.

[@cathyleslie568]

I love it!! I love your tutorials!! Always ask for an amount based on what you spent plus your valuable time and tlc that you put in to it!! I can tell your a perfectionist and that is a great quality to have!! The right buyer will come along! Stay safe!!🤗

[@FurnitureFlippa]

thanks cathy!!

[@btukus7521]

Put the paint first and than the water in the canister, so you have all your paint

[@LaStryka]

You should have lightly ran a blow torch over the entire top of the table after you white washed it to give the wood grain definition. And why are you waxing that table?

[@cesarthoughtsthings772]

Quick question, where do you sell your pieces of furniture? Thank you

[@FurnitureFlippa]

I sell most of my pieces on Facebook! I also will list on other local buy and sell websites if it isn't selling on FB quickly. Thanks for watching!

[@BLISSSHAIR]

This table is massive. Do you ever keep any of the pieces for your home?

[@FurnitureFlippa]

I rarely keep items, I like to buy and refinish then sell! Sometimes I make a good profit and others I make little to none. It all depends what others are willing to pay and how much space I have in my garage LOL

[@Ellierua]

Dont like the end resilt sadly...

[@FurnitureFlippa]

thanks!

[@ProdYaMom]

Same the top doesn’t look good

[@FurnitureFlippa]

@@ProdYaMom yeah it was a bad project, oops

[@LaStryka]

Oh my god why wouldn't you follow the wood grain and you have to wet wipe off dust or it has the dusty look that your table top has.

[@nukapuka]

Why mask on when waxing? The smell must be amazing 😍

[@dragonfliesanddiys2693]

Shouldve just painted top white an distressed with the dark wax

[@meone8949]

I'm lost. You made a beat up table look like a beat up table?

[@kellyjohnson5667]

Glad you flipped that pedestal leg. It was annoying the bedjeebeus out of me.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

hahah this table was heavy, i noticed it was backwards and was like "nope, ill fix this later" lol

[@AL-ns1jm]

- white + staiin - whitewash

[@jaromejacksan6934]

I started with Woodglut plans.

[@kathleenbrown6734]

I personally would redo it. Looks so bad.

[@Leolioness44]

Too much work going on here! The brand called Farmhouse paint, looks like chalk paint but has primer and topcoat, which dries to a very hard finish. It also drives very quickly two coats but you don't have to do all that prep. Nope resanding unless you have deep gouges in your wood surface that you want to eliminate. Be careful when standing as your wood maybe a laminate.

[@tagladyify]

Awww. I thought you were going to do actual lime white wash...disappointed.

[@JD-by9gk]

What a waste natural color was 1000x better

[@donovanscott6861]

Anyone else feels like this guy screwed up with the white wash lol

[@Chris-sq7bh]

I cringed, watching you assault this previously beautiful table.

[@YuriyKhovansky]

I did the same with woodglut plans :)

[@robertlotus6536]

I'm not impressed. Lots of work for a mediocre outcome. Better to just refinish the top with wood stain and paint the base. Also, why the dark wax? It looks dirty!

[@FurnitureFlippa]

yup I didn't like this one too lol

[@AL-ns1jm]

You molested a table .. it could be restaurated.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

money was made, I did mess it up, but the word choice was a little much LOL

[@markmywords2840]

This is more of a "How NOT To" video. What a disaster!!!

[@kj475]

Dude, nothing personal, but this is a disaster.

[@TVBASICINFO]

what an absolutely horrible disaster..., white wash transparency over light and dark wood..,🤮🤮.., the best thing to do now is chop the table up and use it it for firewood... 🤣🤣🤣, unbelievable you uploaded this train wreck of a project.!!!

[@kathyl5610]

You may not like it but he was honest and transparent.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Swagmuffin, the fact that you decided to ever make that an account name is hilarious. But one thing I must agree that the table did not turnout that nice lol would take a certain taste, that is for sure.

[@HossSchwab]

I was shocked at the finished piece! The different wood grains were so pretty, I would’ve just restored the piece to its original grandeur.

[@aleidabianchi1434]

Hmmm... I finally followed Ann's advice and took woodglut instructions. It's great for beginners and has some advanced stuff too.
