How to Fix Water Damage on Particle Board Furniture

[@minnieevans1025]

Hope none of your family or friends were affected by the tornadoes. I live in Alabama so I'm way more familiar with tornadoes than I want to be! As usual, you did a great transformation. Keep up the great work!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thanks, all fam & friends were are good! thanks for watching!

[@NelsonQuilla-cy8qw]

This is about fixing a table. Has nothing to do with tornados.

[@bfranklin1052]

The tornado watch lesson was really interesting! Poor people who lost their homes and good on your great guys helping out! Wow, these nightstands are a true 180! So fresh and good on you, Lauren!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thanks to all! 🤗

[@cindysmith7929]

They came out super cute. Please do a current “what sold” cost and profit video. I love when you do those videos.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thanks! I haven't sold anything in awhile. We'll be able to make them soon!

[@RitaVernoy]

I do hope your business is going well! Sending you all the best

[@elizabethpark4832]

So happy you were safe during the tornado. My daughter & Son-in-law lost a part of their home. Their neighborhood was demolished. They live in Bennington on the lake. Thanks for participating in the community coming together to help with clean up.❤

[@jodit1]

Love how you explain your thought process. You're an excellent teacher. Look forward to your videos.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thanks! so glad you enjoyed!

[@StaceNyourFace]

You guys really should have a game plan/place to go in case a tornado actually does get dangerously close to you. Maybe find out where the city recommends for you to go, such as a local school gym, or find out if any of your neighbors have a basement. 👍😉

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

yes, we would just go into our bathrooms at the shop and huddle up. (:

[@heathersmeather]

These turned out nice. I think they would look great in a room with a boho, southwest, or even an aspen cabin style maybe. 😁

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

ohh yes! I love the vision of that!

[@Ontheflipside2021]

I have been flipping for 4 years now and next week I’m getting my surf prep. I’m so excited. I love your work

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

oh baby! It’s on now Annetta! I hope you love it just as much as I do 😍

[@Ontheflipside2021]

@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher me too! Continue to make your videos I love watching you.

[@djbruce7288]

You did a great job fixing these night stands. I'm not a fan of the paint color, but to each her own. Glad you were safe from the tornado.

[@WhirlyPearly]

The repair job is great but I feel the same, the paint is quite “eclectic”.

[@GardenreetLighting]

Your nightstand makeover is absolutely incredible! I'm amazed at how you transformed them from rough to fabulous!

[@nancybricker5385]

They turned out fantastic! I definitely was a bit skeptical on the color when it first went on. But as it dried and the tops being stained a bit darker, it all came together. You did a fantastic job on the tops. And the hardware looks great also. I hope you will be able to make good money on them.

[@jfrede2889]

I love love love the color. Hope they sell quickly for you.

[@veebee440]

Wow, I watched this video I have 2 night stands that have water damage after watching this i was able to remove the top which is made of particle board. I was going to throw them out now replacing them. keep doing what you doing ill be watching

[@mistytaylor5622]

These turned out beautifully! I've already seen the re-refinish of these, which was also beautiful, but I can't believe they didn't sell like this!

[@mollymackenzie3307]

They are very cute, perfect for a little boy's room! 😊

[@minniemouse1662]

I didn't think I would like the orange paint color but these came out beautiful ❤️

[@geoffreyopulski138]

you remeber all the times i told you not sand off old finishes? congrat's you just learned why you don't do that.. you're the expert in flipping furniture and i'm the expert in furniture repair and refinishing. pine is known for being blotchy you wanna use a wood conditioner. Now ther are two types of conditioner one is for water based stains and piants .The other is for oil based stains and paints you have to match your wood conditioner to your stain. and my invite still stands

[@RebeccaRohrmann1357]

Gorgeous color.

[@amyjacob2100]

What a unique color! I’m curious to see how quickly they sold. Sometimes when I do funky colors, they sell fast but other times, they don’t sell as well. I love the new tops. I haven’t had to do that yet.

[@cindicarnes1731]

That is our Spring time in the MidWest. You always have to have your guard up for sure. Blessings to those who were affected

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

very true!

[@tyrizhane]

I have a dresser that I flipped for our bedroom and just covered the top with contact paper because it was straight particle board under the paint! 😩 This just helped me get the courage to finally replace the top!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

you can do it! just make sure to practice on scrap boards before the real thing! good luck!!

[@heidisettles5537]

I see free armoires all the time and have wondered about dismantling one to use the wood for a project such as yours. It might be good for new tops for nightstands or end tables. Also wondering if you considered cutting the bottom trip piece for something a little more updated?

[@freespiritfreewill5346]

I just discovered your channel a few weeks ago. Love your flips, and your creativity. I’m from Kansas. I have family in Omaha. They have the best thrift stores. You have a great market up there!

[@heathersmeather]

Agreed. I’m excited to visit my family in Omaha area to see thrift stores too. 😁

[@TriniMonstera]

@@heathersmeathercheck out the junk jaunt, I saw The Recycled Life visit and it was phenomenal. The channel is no longer on KZbin. You can check online to get the dates of when it will be held.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

glad you enjoy!! welcome aboard! our thrift stores are pretty great around here!

[@nbell8788]

Great job bringing the nightstands back to life! I enjoyed seeing you create the new tops and might have the courage to try a router after seeing you do it. 😀 Keep up the good work! ❤

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

I was a bit intimidated too but if you practice on scrap boards first, it will help you get the hand of it! thanks for watching!

[@CatMom4704]

I’m in Elkhorn and that tornado was just a few blocks away. It was scary. Love the color. Beautiful

[@annpotter5366]

First of all, glad y"all are safe. I love the night stands. Great job on the colors!! Orange is my favorite color. The tops turned out so beautiful. Color match was prefect !!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thanks for the kind words! (: I think they turned out great too!

[@RE-bi8di]

It would have been interesting to see you add a different material for the top such as a composite granite or even a faux granite laminate.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

I'm not the biggest fan of that look but could definitely be something to try at some point!

[@deloisphillips831]

I just did a small 4 shelf bookcase in Eastern Acorn and it is beautiful!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

very fun color! I'm sure they look great!

[@dianemarino4860]

Wasn't sure of the color when you first started, but the end product is very pretty. Especially looks good with the stained tops.

[@EmilyRachael90]

I LOVE the color! I have almost every color in my home and just love colorful pueces! 😍😍

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thank you!

[@BetsyCRobison-sv5ml]

Great job, Lauren. I like the acorn color with the darker stain. Glad to hear you made it through the storms okay.

[@kimhough7753]

They look great Lauren! I even like the color. 🥰🥰🥰

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thank you!

[@JanetArchibald-m6s]

I see your Vaughan of Virginia dresser and 5 drawer chest of drawers in the back! I just refinished the same set, they came out great.

[@CreativeIdeasMaker]

You have been able to repair the swollen parts of the wood well and you have provided appropriate explanations, and in my opinion, as a carpenter and interested in renovating wooden furniture, this video contains practical and skillful tips for those interested in working with wood.💙

[@StoriedFurnitureCo]

The round over was a perfect choice! Very interested in the sell when they move.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

I will keep you updated!

[@lizhoward9754]

These came out beautifully!. That color will definitely sell. I love the new “top” you added with the gorgeous stain--it really made the pieces look a bit “upscale.” Can’t wait to hear what you sell them for.

[@nica.rivera]

They turned out great! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thank you! glad you enjoyed them!

[@D4Short520]

So glad your area was safe. Prayers go out to the people who were affected by this tornado ❤. We kind of do the same thing here in North Dakota when the sirens go off…go outside and look around to see where it “might be” but usually in our part of the state the tornados path is north of town but one never knows! Mother nature just does what she likes! Love seeing more of your work! Getting inspired each time! ❤

[@marymorgan7674]

They look so pretty! Good job Lauren. 👍💖

[@jenchristianrn1]

Love ❤️ the color… burnt orange. Thanks for teaching. Learning a lot.. how to re-do pieces for my house.

[@some-idea]

When I saw the first coat go on, I admit I thought it would be shocking but the end result was great. I admire your artistic vision. If you do more work with solid wood, it can help to allow for movement (cross grain) when you fix it in place. Love the videos 👍

[@suzannesmith9668]

Thanks

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thank you!

[@louannestratuik1371]

By far!!!! ... my absolute favourite pieces I've ever seen you do. Burnt orange is definitely my colour. If you could see my home, you'd know. LOL

[@KarenBoris]

Beautiful 🤩 Love color! Great job on those tops. So glad you are ok from tornadoes!!! So scary and so sad for those who have lost their homes 😢

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thank you so much! yes, very devastating...glad i got to help out a bit...

[@Keeponrollin0]

Lauren, I've learned so much from watching your videos. I'm restoring vintage wooden doors. I'm using some of your techniques. Thanks

[@karenherrera7752]

Glad you are safe. The end tables are beautiful

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thank you so much!

[@AuntieBrennie]

I have to admit that I was worried about the orange color but it turned out so pretty! Love that you can pivot when unexpected things happen. So relieved that you and your loved ones didn’t have issues with the tornadoes.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thank you so much, Brenda !

[@mildredconnaughton8566]

Hi Lauren I found your channel a month ago & I’ve just binge watched your videos and I finally caught up. You’re so easy to listen to & I love watching you turn the furniture into masterpiece’s. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@shellylemons]

Siren means warning. I live in West Tennessee and our sirens will not sound off unless a tornado was spotted locally or within the certain distance. We have two shelters we can go to in our small town. If you watch Arms Family Homestead or Do Your Best you will see the devastation in Sulphur, OK. My county was hit in 2006 by an F4 tornado and 12 people were killed. If we are in a watch I check the weather but if the sirens go off at night I stay put. If I see where it is it is best to shelter in place away from windows.

[@barbarataboada2556]

Terrifying moment.. Thank God you and family are ok. Prayers for the families in distress❤

[@candyvic63]

Do you have a video of furniture with a very high gloss shin? Ugh I need to do one😮

[@lindastowars7346]

Another beautiful job ! Lauren

[@corinnecoffrini8024]

Tennessee Whiskey was the perfect stain color. That along with the orange bottoms make them the perfect furniture pieces for a Univ of TN fan! Hope they sell fast for you!

Absolutely love that orange!! Came out awesome, what a match in colors!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thank you!

[@miriamseidel8463]

If you added a little of the paint color to the stain for the tops, would the pieces look more cohesive?

[@colleencooper902]

Love your work! Thanks for showing us how to replace the top of these. Super helpful! Just wondering when you stained the pine, if you used a wood conditioner would that have helped give you a more even coat? I tried a wood conditioner recently and it was a life saver!

[@alentrevor]

and Mrs T Really great job once again I was not sure at firsy about the colour you choose but staying to the end they grew on me well done

[@purplewombat1923]

Nice colour and great job on the new tops!f

[@joaniemerrill8354]

Wow Lauren great job! I was questioning the orange but I like it 😊

[@lindap9079]

Good job on making new top boards. Another idea I saw on Desert DIY, Cory used the tabletop from an otherwise unusable dining room table to make a top board for her project. It was probably cheaper than buying lumber and eco-friendly.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

ahh, yes...I would have if I had any spare table tops! this was just spare wood (:

[@Judi-nz5hg]

Great to see you try the router, I’ll be trying mine for the 1st time in the next few days, soo nervous 😬

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

its not too bad! I was nervous but practicing helped!

[@cheryldolence9559]

Fantastic!

[@Hollybank5]

I’m so glad that y’all weren’t in the path of the funnel 😳😫 !! You’re safe ❤ !! You definitely had a new challenge with these nightstands… but you powered through ! The router job turned out so nice ! Good for you 👍 Now, sweetheart, I normally love all your projects… but I’m not a real fan of the orange-ish color .. although the top stain does compliment it !! I’m not picking on you - because you know your target audience… and you are the professional !! I would like to see you do some painted pieces in SAGE. A color I personally love. I’m just truly so proud of all you have accomplished ❤. 😘

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thanks! I appreciate it - this color may not be for everyone but sometimes I just want to try fun colors (: I'm sure there's someone out there that will like them!

[@LindsayUmstattd]

Why do you use the green tape on the drawers before sanding then the plastic that has blue tape on it? I just got my first sprayer ever for furniture and want to prep appropriately! Thanks!

[@gingerdunn6590]

My phone is messing up it just sent before I was through. Sulphur Oklahoma was hit hard by a tornado in the downtown area they were buildings that are at least 100 years old it leveled the town . People lost there homes and it hit at night only 1 life lost in the town . For your first time using a router you did a good job they turned out great. Prayers and Love 💞 From Oklahoma

thanks so much, Ginger!

[@crystalroldan-leben6522]

We live in Wisconsin, so we do get tornados also. Thankfully, we live right next to Lake Michigan, so we really get tornados by us. However, the sirens do off, and the first thing we do is go outside to look 😂 It's just what you do lol

[@amber_Forever16]

If the veneer is already super thin and you paint over it, how durable will it be? Will it age ok? I'm asking because i just started flipping and I'm trying to learn as much as possible 😊

You do with tornadoes like people in Florida do with hurricanes

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

probably true! hahaha

Question why do you use shelacck paint for primer? For my learning purposes. Reason pls

[@rebeccasalhab2159]

Very nice different

[@RebeccaRohrmann1357]

What paint sprayer do you recommend for a beginner that is reasonably in price?

[@triciah59]

I hope you don’t mind if I ask for your expertise on cutting red tone on an antique oak table I’m refinishing for my son. He bought this sans chairs and bought oak chairs with more of a golden oak/early American tone. Even after stripping and sanding I can tell that red is going to come out with any stain I try. I have never used a wash before but thought about trying a greenish wash to cut the red but wondered if it turns out too cool if I could use a light stain to warm it up a bit. I assume using washes means I need to stick to water based products. Any specific products you could recommend would be welcomed.

[@stevemcmillin2737]

If you can't get out of the building to somewhere in your town that is a public shelter at least you have those bathrooms that are on the inside of the building with lower ceilings. Head there.

[@TrudiAdams-Wiggan]

Nice!

[@janice5108]

I live in Massachusetts and a few years ago.We were in tornado watch and they told us if we do not have a basement,to go into your bathroom in the tub.And cover yourself with blankets and pillows so if anything happens you're protected.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

yeah, at least as protected as we can be!

[@janice5108]

I love it

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thanks!

[@karenbartlett9265]

😅 I was a little concerned after that first coat of color… Living in Alabama, it was looking very Auburn orange! However they turned out beautiful and great job on the tops!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

haha thank you so much!

[@heathersmeather]

I’ve got family in Elkhorn and it missed them. Hit to the south and east of them. We had funnel cloud in salt lake county. My kids cracked me up. They said if it didn’t touch down it doesn’t count. We’re originally from Kansas.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

glad they're all good! (:
