I saved this ugly dining set… DIY Dining Table Makeover

[@fourleafclover9271]

Looks great, I’d cover the chair cushions and put thicker foam pads as well.

[@doloreskozlowski]

I'm surprised she didn't take the opportunity to recover the chair pads - table came out great but the chair pads look cheap

[@Encourager-Purpose-Destiny]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@cathyvelliquette3799]

I agree totally!!! Thicker foam and new material for the chairs would have been nice, but gotta give this young lady KUDOS!!!… for all the commitment she put into this project!!!

[@gailwilliams5278]

She can always redo the seat cushions when inspiration strikes.

[@doloreskozlowski]

@@gailwilliams5278 Yes, next time she goes to Joannes Fabric she can see if anything, as my mother would say, strikes her eye. They have some nice indoor/outdoor fabric that is easier to keep clean

[@elephantintheroom5678]

I'm an artist who is also conversant in faux paint finishes. Your mistake was to stop your brushstroke at the edge of the table. You should continue with one long sweeping stroke that starts before the edge and continues beyond the edge of the surface. Then you won't get those raggedy-looking edges to the finish. Best regards. I love to see people taking on artistic projects of all kinds.

[@nanapam6376]

After all that work, I would have started over on the top. Those imperfections would be the only thing I could see. I did something almost exactly when refinishing a buffet table handed we down from grand-mil it took 2 extra days to complete but much better than leaving the errors!

Gorgeous work and how great you restored something old instead of throwing it away. Here's a little trick I learned from my dad, you can fix screw holes that are stripped or just too big with some toothpicks and wood glue. It's a cheap and easy method that works great :)

[@princook]

I’ve always used match sticks

Good job! You saved your family a chunk of money, kept your old table from going into the trash and learned some new skills. That's a win all the way around.

[@NishyVasquez]

You did a great job refinishing that dining set. Also im so glad Toni/Tony did not delete the part where you reacted to the leaves falling in your head.

Or the resin/foam.

I used to love watching a woman with a business of furniture flipping. She would get pieces in trash if they were mostly intact physically. You are also very creative and talented. Go luck. It will be epic

[@valkyriesardo278]

Love what you did with Mr. Caterpillar. That was absolutely charming. I could have watched more of that conversation. Don't be hard about yourself not fixing those cracks earlier. Sometimes the cracks are not fully revealed until the first top coat goes on. A primer coat can look so blotchy that the wood flaws are less evident.

[@NolanArnold-vy7eh]

[@pippadawg7037]

It is beautiful and I love the restraint you used with the distressing. Some manufactures let you choose your distressing preferences and believe it or not this set would be under " heavily distressed." Sadly most DIY KZbinrs have an all or nothing attitude on distressing. Either they go way too far and make a mess or they add none at all. Most pieces with notable exceptions need some degree of distressing or the look is too fresh. Most of the best furniture pieces out of North Carolina (Henredon, Drexel, Hickory Chair, etc) are so lightly distressed most people don't even see it. My daughter was studying architecture/design, said she didn't like distressing adding, "None of your furniture is distressed." I assured her they were. She was amazed when I pointed out the marks, dents and very light specks. You did a great job.

[@annedennett7974]

I wasn't sure when you added the black stain but it is absolutely beautiful. Love the chairs as well. Very Unusual.
