Transforming Vintage Furniture for a Modern Home: Coffee Table DIY

[@quantafreeze]

These were so stunning. I've ALWAYS disliked this style of furniture. Holy cow the transformation was so amazing! I actually love them now.

[@deborahmatatall]

Another beautiful re-imagining of furniture. I would like to thank you for showing other paint options besides chalk/mineral paint! Enamels have been a go-to when I am painting things like kitchen cabinets, bookcases and tables. I love watching your channel because I learned that the Wagner Flexio can handle enamel without thinning, which is new information.I love the update on these tables!🌸

[@mrsbingh]

I agree. Learning so much from you that I plan to apply to my own furniture.

[@jaellouis4749]

I want to say that I love love LOVE that you did the bottoms of these!!! That makes the difference between a diy look and a professional job.

[@diywithtarnya]

I will not turn my nose up at this style anymore. You’ve shown how gorgeous they can be, Katie.

[@valerieh8526]

I’ve watched a number of your videos over the last year and have been consistently impressed by the time you put into prep and your attention to detail. You don’t cut corners and it shows in the finished pieces. 🤩

[@ultraviolet734]

My Folks had ALL of this furniture in their house !!!! 😃 Your results look great !

[@InfiniteMindset99]

‘Wow - the sander that picks up the dust. Love it🎉

[@sveapollock2537]

You definitely took these from meh to marvelously modern. Great transformation!👏👏👏

[@laurenceandre7460]

The art of mastering black paint in an all white outfit !!! 👍👍👍

[@ItIsYourMom]

That came out nice! Very dated at the beginning, I honestly couldn’t imagine it looking like something anyone would want - very impressed with the result! Nice job!

[@jcsspeaks3719]

I had a set of these tables in early 1990s. I loved them.

[@hlynn2008]

Awesome job! Thank you for explaining what Alkyd paint is and it's advantages! I had no idea what this stuff was! ❤️

[@audreyneveu8753]

That is an amazing transformation! Also, I would be interested if you would make a video showing how you clean your paint sprayer and brushes properly. I worry about not cleaning mine the right way and would love your tips! Keep up the great work!

[@greenshp]

Katie you are a gem. This is one of those videos when I was thinking, ""What would possess her to buy that. This is a disaster."" And again you magically made what was monstrous, beautiful.

[@susanegyud6219]

Thank you for showing the spray painting in real time!

[@rebeccavinyard2899]

This is a beautiful reuse of a perfectly good set of furniture. Love it Katie ❤

[@mikimauski]

Gorgeous! And I really appreciate all your teaching details such as what you are using and especially why you are using it! And I love your thoughts on pricing, that's always hardest for me to figure out.

[@salvagedbykscott]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@cindyellis765]

Beautiful job restoring these tables. It never would have occurred to me to do this black finish. The caning really makes them perfect.

[@MrHuismeester]

Beautiful looking furniture !! The black is fitting so well with the classic look off the side and coffee tables witch i was not expecting ! So a great surprise as always and you must have the way you want to change the furniture already in your head before even starting. That is a proof off your fine taste to transform furniture ! Loving it !

[@MastersAllison0291]

These are absolutely beautiful! Thank you for taking the time to share the process and products used.

[@dianenoel6331]

I have some similar tables and want to update them because they are still in great shape. Thanks for the inspiration Katie! Love the transformation!

[@kitfranzman4860]

So pretty, but they are definitely worth more. We are blessed you share your knowledge, plus, you have the happiest smile on KZbin. Puts me in a good mood.

[@abbeyanglade6762]

Everything. You. Touch. Turns. To. Gold. Woow!

[@lisasmith9123]

Love, love, love - the console is my favourite piece. ❤

[@louanneross6410]

What a new life you gave these tables. Definitely modernized. Great job Katie. Happy Easter.

[@salvagedbykscott]

Happy Easter 🐣 🐰

[@annmurphy883]

You are amazing. You do such quality work - even painting 2 coats underneath where no one ever sees.

[@joanndavies1356]

What a makeover!!! So current now! ❤

[@marilynplayer2380]

I did this several months ago to tables like this. Your tables are beautiful.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Don’t mind me! I’m just over here checking out what else you have in your garage! Hope your weekend is fabulous my friend ❤

[@salvagedbykscott]

😂😂😂 flipper habits!

[@lyndagreenwald3909]

Oh wow, those tables were a steal! And they turned out beautifully.

[@krissalchenberg902]

Wow, these turned out beautiful! And I'm even more amazed that you can wear white while painting black! I would have been a mess!

[@katalintorok2538]

In case I haven't told you lately, you are awesome! Love your videos.

[@catherinekoch3735]

Wow. I never would have come up with painting the cane a light color. I probably would have painted it all the same color. You have great vision into how to handle upgrading those tables. ...my mom has some very similar to those.

[@kittycraft3620]

12:02 Katie I LOVE this transformation! I live in Florida and this is a modern way to reinvent this style furniture that is so popular here. In fact my first apartment had this coffee table and end tables in a bright tropical yellow/green color in 1980! Lol!

[@shabbysuse7821]

They look really good updated with black paint!

[@dot2dal]

Love it! You are such a paint sprayer pro! I used that same type of paint for my cabinets in a white with a brush and it holding up so well!

[@barbarapark2267]

What an upgrade! Your imagination and skill are spectacular!

[@trumpwon8972]

The tables look FABULOUS!!!

[@juliekaplan4713]

Another stunning transformation.

[@theheritagehousesc]

They turned out beautiful! I just got my Wagner gun yesterday and need to paint a couple side tables with. I'll try this paint on them. The finishing looks great! You also have me the inspiration on what to go with the top. They had a layer of leather in the middle that was damaged and need to take out but it will leave me with a small deep. This cane would look great on it! Thank you for sharing!

[@joannejohnson7367]

These turned out beautifully

[@marilynyarbrough7951]

Great contrast, beautiful finish. Thanks for sharing.

[@salvagedbykscott]

Thank you too!

[@wacobayless9033]

I love that paint, it has a gorgeous finish!

[@barbmccarthy6811]

Well done, AGAIN!!! The black and light cane is beautiful.

[@DomusWorkshop]

Great transformation, love how they came out!🤩

[@janetrodriguez914]

Good job Katie! That set can become beloved members of someone’s household now. The black is a very classy look.

[@b.walker5955]

Raising cane from previous decades demise. 🥰Well done Katie!

[@floridaflipsters]

One of my favorites flips you've done!! Absolutely gorgeous. As always, great work 🥰💕💃

[@AkSonya1010]

I like old school furniture and I have been looking for something and I was going to refinish the wood but you might have just inspired me to redo my old furniture. Today's stuff is mainly chip board cheep stuff.

[@lyndamadrid-miller695]

The tables came out stunning!💪🤗👏

[@lfuentes4098]

My parents had a set of these rectangle coffee and side tables. They had Smokey glass and brass corners protectors. I ended up putting them on Craigslist for free because the thrift store didn’t want them. I’m sure they were made over similarly. Which is what I wanted. Divert them from the landfill. Yours came out awesome.😊

[@annemurphy9339]

Oh my! I had this exact set, 2 of the end tables and the exact coffee table! Broyhill, I believe, bought in ‘82.

[@xxx-il9dv]

Welcome home! Great work! Have a wonderful Easter weekend with your family!

[@salvagedbykscott]

Thank you! You too!

[@teresacathey8189]

Hello katie. The tables turned out so gorgeous!! They look totally brand new. That’s awesome.👍🥰😮😮😮🥰🥰

[@raeanngodfrey6986]

great update. you have an amazingly steady hand when you spray paint.

[@corinne_vintage]

Stunners!! I just love that cane is popular again. These look amazing!!

[@jeniferpollonais6546]

These pieces look fabulous!

[@alentrevor]

and Mrs T Great job they all turned out really well

[@pinkroses135]

The cane stuff looks so fresh 👌🏻

[@arlenecal]

Terrific re-design... very beautiful.

[@lindalou2616]

I have the same set of tables, I was going to give them to Good Will- now I have changed my mind, thank you ❤

[@judis4900]

These pieces are lovely Katie. Good to know the orange peel finish will level out with the proper type of paint. I struggled with this on some of my pieces so would revert back to a paint brush.

[@debo398]

I have the same sofa table...this gives me great ideas on how to update an already great table.

[@dewittellis3216]

Absolutely gorgeous transformation!

[@marymoyer1773]

I love how they turned out! So beautiful...great job! Thank you for sharing..

[@alaineacarter6216]

I love these pieces! What a great way to make a dated octagon coffee table modern again.

[@OurOneLifeAz]

My grandma still has this set. I have loved it since i was a kid and have most definitely told her I want it if she ever gets rid of it. She is still holding out on me. Lol

[@samijust8689]

Great find for a great eye! Thanks for saving these beauties!

[@lesliejohnson7247]

Absolutely gorgeous! Not to mention classy!

[@lyndapalecek8952]

[@memecats5698]

Love the opposite color of wicker and wood. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️

[@ilensantamarina9715]

I love the way these pieces turned out.♡✔♡

[@drcbeartooths]

Katie! Never would I ever have imagined. True trash to treasure.

[@TheSncates]

I don't usually like glass top tables. But I love these! You did an amazing job!

[@maralavern]

Absolutely gorgeous! If I lived near you, I’d buy in a heartbeat. ❤️❤️❤️

[@sherrycatanese4312]

You did a lovely job on these pieces and they look so fresh & up to date. Like your music too☺️

[@kaycox19]

Gorgeous renovation, young lady! Excellent!

[@salvagedbykscott]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@wendyyang7846]

thank you Katie for posting this video!! I found the same coffee table here in New Zealand and I followed your tutorial to flip it. I’m so so happy with the result.

[@rachelschmelzle6893]

OMG I have the same set. Didn’t know if i wanted to keep and refresh or get rid of. They look great.

[@maryjames5655]

You're a natural. Spray paint is an art.

[@oneofakindfindsjunktique9708]

They turned out beautiful! 🖤 That paint is magic

[@JolovesDecor]

I have been on the search for exactly this old furniture. To bad I don’t live in Canada. Those are so amazing. You do such a beautiful job.

[@debbiestott3651]

Awesome flip Katie. You are a super upcycler.

[@tyrarenae3486]

You are brilliant ! I just love your work ! ❤❤❤❤

[@lizh1988]

I especially like the console, but that cane is beautiful. 😃

I am so impressed! I don't care for cane in general, but this finished project is beautiful! Great job 👏

[@laurelarmstrong4535]

The black and light cane looks beautiful. You always do great work👍

[@rehowse1290]

[@sandracross340]

Nice job I see this type of furniture from time to time Great tutorial.

[@lwgrantsmom1603]

Thank you for showing how to paint cane. Earlier today, I passed up a gorgeous cane piece at the thrift store because it had a lot of discoloration. I might go back for it on Monday.

[@candacewalsh8726]

Good eye and incredible buy! You did them justice as always :) They look pristine - just perfect 🙏

[@sheiladowney5644]

Way better! Great flips Katie!

[@dochubbell]

You took them from dated to updated beautifully. I too am not fond of this style, but the transition is really surprising.Excellent work.

[@juliahelland6488]

They look absolutely amazing! 💯 ❤ Thanks for sharing!

[@nikkiep23]
