Used Furniture Flip for Profit | 2 Rustic Dining Room Table Top finishes | Upcycled for Resale

[@christinegamez7021]

We have missed you so much!! My week isn’t complete without seeing you and your creativity! 😉

[@VintageBeeDesign]

Wow, thank you! Sue & I plan on trying to do more videos this year. We got a little overwhelmed with markets.

[@christinegamez7021]

@@VintageBeeDesign I bet! I watched all the videos and it is so much work!!! It’s draining. My mom did craft shows back in the 80’s and I went a couple times and it was exhausting. All I wanted to do was eat! Lol

[@VintageBeeDesign]

We didn’t even hardly get video of the last couple. Honestly, I was just too exhausted. We decided this year we are not doing traveling shows.

[@gwenhatcher7542]

I love both finishes. Beautiful end results of the tables. I don’t know why they would NOT sell!

[@VintageBeeDesign]

Thank you! The dry brush finish is always one of my favorites!

[@rosiemorales7783]

Welcome back! I can’t wait to see more videos. I love the second table 🌻🌻🌻🦋🦋🦋🙏

[@VintageBeeDesign]

I think the second table is definitely less specific of a buyer. Sometimes its fun to try something new though.

[@PattyPaints]

It helps to add metal brackets to the underside spanning the gap to bring the two halves flush. It also keeps it from flexing and/or pulling apart every time you move it, which cracks the finish along the seam and makes it more noticeable. (Although I don't think people worry too much about the seam.)

[@VintageBeeDesign]

Great tip!

[@elizabethstrong1780]

It is great to see you back doing videos. I love both tables, they will sell quickly.

[@VintageBeeDesign]

We will hopefully be more regular with the videos again. All the markets and holidays were just a lot.

[@EmilysUpcycledHome]

I think both tables came out great . I love the textured layered stencil one . I think it sold . TFS

[@VintageBeeDesign]

Thank you!

[@debisrustybrush]

I did a side table similar to the first table you worked on. Love how that effect turns out, although it is a lot of work to achieve. Love your version!!

[@VintageBeeDesign]

I agree. I don't think it will be something that I'll do often, but it was a fun change of pace.

[@sherrytice1121]

Ok I’m glad you are back. I missed your channel,I’m sure you were exhausted after those shows and maybe a little disappointed. As far as the tables go I liked the dark one the best. I’m sure everyone has a different preference but that is mine. I really love your hair it looks beautiful! Share often and thank you for sharing with us.

[@VintageBeeDesign]

Thank you!! The darker one is certainly looking for a less specific buyer. Sometimes the goal is really to intrigue people and make them look. I will say that we sold almost every centerpiece we put on the other table. lol.

[@wilmaburns5280]

So good to see you! Hope the cruise was great & relaxing. Live the tables, both of them....the brown one is my fav & I'd say it sold at market. Happy Holidays 💜

[@VintageBeeDesign]

Thanks so much!! I hope you had a great holiday and will have a prosperous 2024!!

[@melonmahfood2439]

So excited to see you! The tables turned out beautiful. Hope your family cruise was amazing and wishing you all a wonderful New Year!

[@VintageBeeDesign]

Thank you! Unfortunately the cruise was a bust. There was a huge storm, out of nowhere and it was cold, raining, and rocky the entire trip. We couldn't even stop at Coco Cay. Oh well. It was still great spending time with the family.

There’s no link to your what not and I would loooove to check it out… 😍

[@VintageBeeDesign]

ooooh no!! What the heck did I do? I just got it all listed up again, I must have not hit save or something. Anyway, here is our Whatnot link: whatnot.com/invite/vintagebeedesign

[@pamelabeliveau3564]

Hi Melissa, about 12:25 in this video you showed angels on the front porch that you made. Is there a video tutorial with those in it?

[@VintageBeeDesign]

No. We bought those wholesale.

[@monicathomas9189]

Oh yayyy! I was actually going to email and see if everything was ok. Was getting worried about you's! Glad to see!

[@VintageBeeDesign]

We were just so busy over the holidays. One of my big goals is to be more active online and do more videos!

[@rosepetalsandrust4155]

I’ve been missing you!

[@VintageBeeDesign]

Thank you. That’s so kind.

[@GardensDelight]

Love both! Happy New Year to you all.

[@VintageBeeDesign]

Thank you so much! Looking forward to 2024. It should be great!

[@theowlscage705]

I like one of the tables. The other is not my cup of tea it will be someones. From what I am hearing about everyone. Shows the year I don’t think they sold.

[@VintageBeeDesign]

Markets were rough this year. It was definitely not what we expected or hoped for. Diamonds in the Rust was our best show of the year though.
