When a "Quick Flip" Goes Wrong: FRUSTRATING Side Table Makeover

CHARITY CHALLENGE! I challenged other furniture flipping KZbinrs to flip a piece of furniture and donate the piece or the proceeds of the sale of the piece to charity or someone in need.
Playlist link: • 2023 Furniture Flippin...
I thought this little mid century side table would be the perfect charity flip. Single side tables don't typically sell well, and it was a great opportunity for me to show how I tackle simple projects. Turns out, removing that old damaged finish was ANYTHING but simple, and it was the single most frustrating flip of the year. Am I happy with the end results? Not really. But I did what I could, and it's certainly going to be able to be used and loved. It just wasn't what I was picturing in my head for the final result.
Be sure to curl up on the couch and watch the whole playlist, as these talented folks flip furniture for the sake of others. ❤️ Everyone wins here, but I WILL be donating a prize to a special winner of the group.

Girl, you are so much more patient than I am. Fire would have become an option at some point for removal.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

🤣 I'm having a good laugh picturing that! 😉

[@jeremys3174]

That actually would have removed the finish wouldn't it

[@Mr.Howell78k]

​@@TranscendFurnitureGalleryDid you suffer any damage from that hurricane last week? I hope not.❤

[@stefanmarchione6757]

A blow torch! 🔥🤣👍

[@DylansPen]

Actually, would a heat gun assist removing most finishes?

[@vickirothe3761]

Although that side table was problematic, it gave you, and us, another learning opportunity about what to try, and try again, in order to get the piece where you want it to be. I think it turned out superb! Oh, and thank you for issuing this excellent challenge to the other refinishers to support charity. 💞💗💖

It is nice to know that although you worked very hard on this, you donated it. I think it looks lovely and hope it brings joy to whom ever gets it in the end. Thanks for being "sustainably" conscious!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much!

[@margomoore4527]

It’s a cute little end table. These older pieces tend to be light and easy to move compared to modern furniture which tends to be massive (and yet the end tables today have very little storage space)!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@houstonsewist2103]

It may not be your favorite piece, but you brought it back to life and allowed its beauty to shine. The buyer undoubtedly will be very happy that you engaged in this resurrection. And that you did it for charity! Wow! You totally rock!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Wow, thank you!

[@chumleyk]

Probably a 'hostess' table where cooked meats are cut on it in flat bottom hot trays/platters. A restaurant or dining room side table so to speak. Treated with very thick heat-resistant lacquer. The scooped edge frame of the top catches any errant cooking liquids when serving from it.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

No, it's nowhere near tall enough for that. Thanks so much for watching!

[@sweettart2001]

Wise words from my father whenever I was being a perfectionist over something I was adept at (usually music) but those appreciating my talent weren't: "Nobody will know. They're just glad you're doing it." It looks beautiful, and I'm sure someone will treasure it!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you very much!! ❤️

[@alibobo2009]

Angie, I never get enough of watching you work and seeing the magic of the "reveal". Kudos!

After watching all of the nine other entrants, Angie, if you are taking user comments/votes into consideration at all, I am voting for Maria and her restoration. Although the painted pieces are all well done, all quite different and a major change, I simply prefer the wood to the paint. Once again, thanks for sponsoring a challenge supporting charities. 💗💖

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

You're very welcome! Thank you so much!

[@fdort3971]

@TranscendFurnitureGallery thanks for giving back to the community. I live by the motto "see a need, fill a need " when I can. You have a real talent for creating woodgrain. I've been struggling with making the wood grain on palm-trees in my bathroom. The way you did this...something clicked for me...thanks

[@susantulleynehus5054]

I could see this little table as an entry table for a small home or apartment. A cute lamp, plant and catch all for keys,etc. would be perfect.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you kindly!

[@rodandjudibowen5665]

Hi Angie! Wow, that stand was a real hassle for you. I wouldn't be surprised to see you throwing up your hands and painting it. OR taking it out on the driveway and running over it until the whole thing was a pile of splinters! I think it turned out quite pretty. Good move to donate it and the dressing table. Little huggies for the bun-buns! 🐰🐰🐰💓💓💓

Thank you for your videos. I came on YT to learn how to restore furniture. I have seen 3 YTubers - one is flipping furniture without a skerrick of personal protection worn. No love in it at all. The other she was great to watch because they were beginner videos. And then there is you.. I see how much you love what you are doing - it is absolute passion and it comes through. You have respect for the process and the furniture.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much for watching! 😊

[@burghbrat3319]

So. Much. Work. But for a great cause, and good on you for sticking with it. Someone will use and love that table for many years to come. Thanks for hosting the challenge. It's amazing what people can and WILL do to help others.

I could hear the disappointment with how the piece turned out in your voice at the end of the video. It made me sad.... Angie, you do beautiful work consistently, and even better, you give of yourself to others selflessly. Please don't be so hard on yourself. No, the piece didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, but such is life. You deserve to be proud of what you did to rescue that table and to help others by doing it. I wish there were more people in this world like you.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

[@monicalundy4400]

Oh Angie, I refinished an exterior door that was in our kitchen,,.which I thought would be “easy breezy”. The finish was that yellow-orangey tan that was popular in the 80’s. It was just like this table. I was ready to put it in the dump. I scraped, I stripped (not me) and I sanded. And then I did it again. I finally got it “good enough” and called it a day. The other side that was in the kitchen looked great painted white. Whew!!! I felt your pain.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Yikes! So much work for you! I don't blame you one bit, my forearms were on fire.

[@katherineharper-sj4ys]

Thanks for this! My son has a similarly constructed coffee table with a swollen veneer covered particle board top that he wants me to refinish. I think I have a game plan now.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

That is awesome! Best of luck with it!

[@A.B.Shepherd]

The table may have been problematic, but I'm sure anyone who gets it in their home will be happy with it. Well done. Nice charity to benefit from your talents.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

I actually know the girl who had the top bid and she just loves the table. 😃

[@annamiller9165]

You made a very pretty side table out of that. Don't short change what you accomplished with that one. You could have very well burned it up from your frustration with stripping it. Blessings on your day.😊

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you very much for watching! 🙂

[@kathleenwagner3259]

I posted the other night but it vanished into thin air. Anyway the charity challenge is wonderful. I watched the Playlist and enjoyed it. The table was a pain but it looks beautiful and alot better than it was before. I think your beautiful deco piece being auctioned off for charity is wonderful as well.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Oh the joys of comment glitching! Sometimes it's as if they have a mind of their own.

[@heatherwalton9501]

Wow - that was a lot of work for a little table that you don't love. I can't say it was one of my favourites either but, hey ho, all for a good cause and you learn something from every experience l guess. Someone will love it now it's all restored and it lives on to serve another family well! Onwards and upwards as they say!

Angie- is there a way to renew the darker brown of the walnut that I see on the inside of the solid walnut dresser I’m refinishing? When I look at the inside it is the beautiful deep brown I want. I know the outside is faded. Is their a way to get that back that isn’t stain? If not, what type of stain should I use? I think the dresser is from mid to late 1800’s. It’s an Empire style with a wishbone mirror (according to Mr Google) I almost forgot to say “beautiful job on that table!” More patience than should be needed! Just magnificent!

I used Circa1850 and while it worked well I found the smell really hard to take…and I was wearing a full face respirator. Anyway, once it was done it did work well but I’ll usually try the Ecostripper first and see if that does the trick in the future we before going to Circa 1850 again.

Love the darker colour that you gave it. It made for a far richer-looking finish than I believe it would have had when new. It really elevated that little table. If some of the pieces you've worked on could feel and talk like humans, I'm sure many of them would suffer from imposter syndrome. They were never intended to look that good; and yet, here they are. :D
