HOW TO REPURPOSE OLD FURNITURE! EASY FURNITURE UPCYCLE!!!

[@lelanidixon7941]

Really creative repurposing of someone else’s trash! Nice job.

[@rebeckablevinscreativecrea3971]

Hello Jennifer! What a creative way to salvage a road side find! Those are always the best! I love both the trays and the bench is to die for! I have been busy during my self isolation and redid my craft area. I used Kilz chalk paint in Authentic Navy to repaint my craft table which was bought from a friend of the family. I was impressed with the Kilz. How have you been with staying at home? I've been self isolating for 58 days! Thank goodness I have crafts!! I'll post pictures on Instagram! Hoping you have a gloriously beautiful and blessed day!!

[@sherrygaster3730]

[@stacycardinale8081]

[@tellkemp6869]

[@crystalcarlson1377]

Love it! The matte black with the wax looks so good! Thanks for the inspiration!!

[@karenlewis3950]

People’s trash can be our treasure. You did a great job. Looked like so much fun. Makes me want to go out and see what people are throwing away. Lol.

[@carmendennis1228]

Jennifer, this is an awesome flip! You did amazing and if anyone "roasts" you, well...that's their opinion, not fact You did a great job!!

[@maggiebaxter610]

Your friend is one lucky gal Jennifer because this trash definitely turned into a treasure. Nice work by your assistant too! I can’t believe people leave “you shouldn’t have done that” comments! Seriously? If you don’t like something just move on. I’m always amazed by people who feel free to be mean just because they can be anonymous on the internet. (Even Thumper knew that “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”) This piece is perfect in every way. Thanks so much for the inspiration and I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day. 🤗 #kindnessmatters

[@sonya6491]

Wow never thought to use black this is awesome! Enjoyed watching !👍🏽 thank you for sharing

[@tatianaterriesmith8471]

Absolutely beautiful

[@vickiejohnston3686]

Love. Love this flip.

[@angiemiranda7769]

You found that out for trash? Awesome find!! I’m looking for something just like that! I too wanted to make a table out of one if I can find one on market place for a very inexpensive price. I need more space to place decor that you just sit around. I love what you did with this! Awesome that you got two trays out of it too! Those pulls are my favorite too from Home Depot. I agree with you! If someone likes what you did great! If not, no need to bash! We all have our own preferences. When I subscribe to a channel it’s because I share their style. Your friend is blessed to have a friend like you to do something so kind! You put a lot of work into that, and it’s absolutely beautiful!! Thanks for sharing! 😊💕🤗

[@melanieorrison7045]

[@miriandieppa]

I just love your work. I hope to see many more. God bless.

[@pattimercer9357]

Jennifer!! My back hurts just watching you work on your projects on the ground!!!!

[@LittleBitofCalmCrazy]

I always work on the ground. We have all the stuff so I don’t have to, but I just can’t seem to help myself. 🤷🏻‍♀️💕

[@jorayadams2363]

[@martysk1973]

[@YolandaGarcia-gb3zr]

Beautiful!

[@lelamcclanahan5720]

Really love it!! You did a fantastic job!!!

[@yvettesobaszek8100]

Love it ! Awesome job.

[@nancyabercrombie5052]

I use all of our leftover beadboard to make all of my garden signs. Made a Betsy Ross flag one for July 4th and I handpainted sunflowers on one to match my door wreaths for August. 😊 After completed I spray them with 3 coats of polyurethane to protect them from the weather.

[@denisereedholm6589]

That piece was really transformed Jennifer, really nice job! I heard you say something about being roasted in the comments. A couple of the other ladies I like to watch have mentioned something similar. Do people really say negative things to you in the comments? 😠 I am just sick hearing that! People need to get a life! So sorry that happens. I have always gotten great inspiration from you, so thank you for sharing your creativity with us! ❤❤

[@beverlyjohns2589]

You did a beautiful job👑🙌😍

[@shellydwatson]

This is beautiful! I wish I were lucky to find things like this on the parkway! LOVE!

[@charlottesilber1687]

I loved this. recycling furniture is my husband and my favorite hobby things Thanks so much for sharing

[@sandrafinney9925]

Waverly paint is my favorite!! Love the transformation!! Absolutely Beautiful 😃

[@deaneclark6469]

I love what you did! So beautiful! As always thank you for sharing! GOD bless you and your family! 🙏❤😊

[@spidermonkey1962]

Everything came out beautiful. Love how you made the trays out of the drawer fronts. So nice.

[@brendalawrence6732]

I love how the bench/table turned out as well as the trays! I love when you use that white wax too as I love how it looks when it gets down into the nooks and crannies. How sweet of you to give the bench/table to a friend to use in her mud room. Hugs, Brenda

[@dianaherpel6422]

Great makeover❣️

[@LittleBitofCalmCrazy]

Thank you! 💕

[@dotmaines3684]

Love how it all turned out!

[@aprilkinkead8352]

Jennifer I absolutely love it. I haven’t used white wax before but I plan to in the near future. Thanks for sharing. I love your channel.

[@LittleBitofCalmCrazy]

Yes, you need to try white wax! It really is such a pretty topper! 💕

[@CreativeontheCheap]

I absolutely love how this turned out! You did such a great job!

[@emilymarston3653]

Pretty

[@briannaoduinn8902]

What an excellent job! I don't tend to distress my furniture. I always feel that life distresses my furniture enough, but I've never thought about it the way you explained it. I can completely understand now why some people distress their furniture. Thanks for giving me another perspective! However, I've never faulted people for distressing. As you say, you do you, I'll do me. :) Also, I wanted to say that I saw the clay based paint used on some of the projects at The Painted South. It looked like it was easy to use and would be handy for certain projects. Can't wait to see what you think. Thanks for sharing.

[@LittleBitofCalmCrazy]

Thank you! I am so excited about the DIY paint. I am hoping that I get it soon. 💕

[@debbiebihlman9781]

The trays were such a great idea. The new piece is just lovely and useful in many areas. Great job! 😊

[@AprilAdairShares]

This was a lot of fun to watch Jennifer! I am jealous of your tidy garage with all the open space! Lol Everything turned out so beautiful! Excited to see more in this series!

[@robinpappas8943]

April, I would love to come shop in your garage. 😁

[@emilypalmer4721]

Love love love it! All the pieces turned out so good! Love your thrift flips. ❤

[@carlamacedo1503]

Nice!!!

[@rhondaz356]

That was an awesome tutorial. TY, so much.🌈👏💛

[@kimtyndall876]

I have tryed almost everything on the market in my refinishing business and DIY paint is the best! You will love it.

[@LittleBitofCalmCrazy]

I am so excited to finally try it!!!🤗💕

[@cynthiawatson991]

Love all of these pieces! I am afraid to paint a couple of small pieces but like so many others. Thank you for sharing this great tutorial!🌟❤️

[@thejenny6052]

Love the paint Technique. It’s funny this actual weekend I used Waverley white wax over a somewhat broken pot. I only had the Waverly white wax because I asked for Waverly white chalk paint as my husband was going to Walmart and he thought the wax was the same. It was a good mistake because I decided to try it out. My brother-in-law makes pottery and he lets me go through his graveyard of pottery that doesn’t pass his likeness test. Back to the pot I spray painted it with a gray primer then not knowing the wax was runny yeah! I was not expecting that. It actually worked in my favor because as I was working on the pot I had a fan blowing directly on the pot and multiple spots came out thicker some came out thin it looks amazing. I am heading up Home Depot soon to find the white wax or just order it and I actually want to do the same technique you used with ink and white wax on a few pieces of furniture I found on The side of the road. I want to thank you for your amazing inspiration.

[@jlow27]

This is awesome!! I’m never lucky enough to find something like this for free but I’ll certainly be looking once all this is over. Great great job! And Happy Mother’s Day too!

[@larynilsamedina5308]

Great makeover...love it...sorry you get roasted about technique....I love your ideas and it gives me ideas. Thanks for sharing....I love your projects because it makes me feel like I can do it...

[@nadenecooper6076]

I like the wax.

[@angelahaglund2656]

I love it! What a perfect mud room bench!;

[@LittleBitofCalmCrazy]

Thank you Angela! Wishing I had a mud room, so I could do one for myself. 💕

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Hey Jennifer!! Everything turned out so beautiful. I love that little bench. Hope y'all have a great day and week. Stay safe.

[@wendydomsher1973]

Love it!! I have a couple pieces of furniture that I've been thinking about painting...but it makes me nervous. Afraid I'll mess it up! Lol

[@LittleBitofCalmCrazy]

Remember, it is just paint! Have fun with it! 💕

[@judyp8928]

So clever nice find nice flip. When I'm refinishing Furniture I like to use a blower to remove any debris after I've sanded. I'm currently redoing a cabinet with a fold-down desk for my great niece. Her mom picked out Rust-Oleum spray chalk paint. This paint goes on very thin which was surprising because it's chalk paint. Have you ever used spray chalk paint? And if so what is your opinion? After watching your video I think I will add some white wax to this cabinet.😊

[@jeanne1765]

Loved the trays and the table/bench. They turned out really nice. I haven't tried DIY paint, but the paint I really like is Dixie Belle. You should give that a try too.:)

[@kimtyndall876]

I would have left the wood and just clear coated it would have had some contrasts but i also love what you did!

[@kimsmith8600]

Love it! Can you please tell me what brand of staple gun you are using? It looks cordless..?

[@oreobenavidez5870]

I love the color and the wax made it look not so stark

[@judys5767]

What paint brand did you use? What does the wax add to the finish?

[@yvettegomez4588]

Awesome job!! Wow! I'm new to the whole chalk paint and wax after thing. Don't know nothing about it and I've never done it yet. Thank you for showing us the ropes. Love your channel girl. Your a perfectionist like me. I'm soooo like detail in everything I do. So it makes me feel a heck of a lot better to know there are others out there like me. Now I don't feel so weird. Thank you👍💕💕 question..... does it make a difference on what kind of brush you use? Because I've seen people use a round brush? And why is it round? What's it supposed to do that a regular brush won't do?

[@genahoward760]

Great find! You turned into a masterpiece! Love it!! Where did you get the white wax?

[@LittleBitofCalmCrazy]

Thank you Gena! I got the wax at Home Depot. 💕

[@gingram110]

Great trash to treasure! Your bench turned out awesome. Would you kindly give me the details about your brad nailer? I see that it’s a Porter Csble, which is what I’d like to get since I already own one of their drill drivers.

[@LittleBitofCalmCrazy]

Thank you so much! I got my brad nailer as a Christmas gift and I am loving it! Here is a link amzn.to/2WO8Xjh

[@gingram110]

Little Bit of Calm and Crazy You are such an enabler! I put the nail gun on my Amazon wish list and made the mistake of looking at the list tonight. The price had dropped 20% so into my cart it went. Amazon says it will arrive on Monday. I didn’t order any nails, so a trip to Home Depot is in my future (their price was better than Amazon’s.) And its all your fault!

[@karenfree8535]

Always good to learn something new. Didnt know wax could actually change color of finish....wax needs reapplied in 6 months? Do you just dust it? Use products like pledge? Video was very helpful...

[@LittleBitofCalmCrazy]

You don't need to wax every 6 month. A polyacrylic would be a stronger finish if you wanted that, but my friend and I know that the pieces will take a beating and it will add to the charm! I dust with either a very damp rag or Method dusting spray... both work great. If used like a bench, I would not use pledge. It would leave a film behind that could get on clothes. 💕

[@jackielucchesi6654]

Wow awesome job......All the pieces look great!!!!!!! I have a couple pieces of furniture to do also....better get my fanny moving....LOL
