- In this video, I am making over this commission dining room table and chairs using Rustoleum Chalk Paint and MinWax Stain. Dining chairs are officially my arch enemy when it comes to using a brush to paint them. This set definitely tested my patience! I hope you learned a few things about refinishing a table and chairs! This is a great idea to save some money and flip the dining room table you may have already in your home! Let me know down in the comments about your experiences with similar flips. Thanks for watching!

Looks great! I'm hoping to do my own dining room table in the same way. I like the clean look (not distressed) and will also do a darker stain, but this video definitely gives me a more realistic idea of how long it will actually take. Love watching your channel, keep up the outstanding work! I'm learning so much!
You can do it! Sounds like you have the vision now go out and execute! We would love to see before/afters if you wanted to share. Thanks for watching!
It looks really good! Your prices are much better than we would get here in the U.K.! Everyone thinks that because you work at home it’s less expensive than having it done at a shop! It’s crazy!
Lauren - this is an awesome job. You put your heart and soul into it. Its all a learning curve and you did well!! Maybe next time you could say, with a job like this the cost will be between 500- $600 depending on your time invested. That way if you find it takes longer, you're not undercutting yourself. Anyway I am truly impressed, and I can see how weary you are- it was a large project for you, so I hope you can have a few days rest before then next flip? Good on you for your beautiful handiwork. Many Blessings to you and Neiman from Australia. Take care and Go gently. xx
It’s beautiful
Thank you! (:
Beautiful job. You need to charge more for your time. Thank you for true and honest teaching video.
God Bless you, you worked your Butt off on this set
Well done you! Really appreciate all your experienced tips😀
Wonderful, professional work!
Thank you very much!
I really enjoyed watching your video and learned a lot and I feel confident enough that I’m going to try your techniques on my current dining set that I was going to sell and replace now I think I’m going to make it the way I want it instead thank you great tips great job!!
U need to use a sprayer for the spindle work. Sprayer will cut ur time raising ur hourly profit respectively.
Ebony stain is.the.best!
Beautiful work!!
I loved!!
My fiancé has this gun thing that you load your tape and masking paper on and it rolls it with the tape perfectly lined up at the edge of the paper making masking a breeze.. his work truck is my go to place 🤣
Great job! A little hint: I do 2 coats of BIN shellac primer when painting white. That second coat does amazing and will cut down on coats of white. Also I have the store add 65 drops of black to a "gallon" (15 drops to a quart) as the BIN has a yellow cast and the light grey (after adding the black) makes the white paint brighter!
I realized I should have done two coats of primer after I did the first coat of paint! I do actually have some gray primer as well, but I usually use that if I’m gonna go for a darker color. Thanks for watching!
I’m doing a dining set at the moment! I’m a newbie and this is my second project 😬 I really don’t recommend it for someone with little experience, it’s quite discouraging, it is so time consuming and the Spindles are a nightmare! Never again 😓
Very beautiful! I have done a table before and it was a ton of work. I am slowly working on the chairs one at a time. I am also a full-time teacher. And a mom of three young kids so it’s hard to find the time. I used dark walnut on mine. Great idea to use the wood conditioner it makes a lot of a difference!
Bless you! Can’t imagine having kids after school and trying to flip as well! You go girl! Good luck with the rest of the chairs!
i would've stripped the lacquer off first before sanding. would've saved you time and energy.
Why did you not use wood stripper before sanding? Just curious because I see some people do and some don’t and idk what to do.
Love your videos. I’m watching all of them daily 😊. Can you please share where you bought your green double pail?
I got it at Menards! I'm sure there are some on Amazon if you don't have Menards! Thanks for watching!
Hello I'm not an expert on doing furniture at all. but I did the same thing.o that you did on a very small scale .only four chairs and a table but what I did was prep and paint all the white first .then sand it off the seats and table top so if I got any white paint on them I just sanded it off. So I did the opposite of you.
When you tape off with paper- first tape the edges and then tape the paper onto the frog tape.
I was taught to always sand with the grain never cross the grain. Don't you have problems within sanding lines showing after you paint or finish?
I do only go with the grain of the wood! There may be very few times that i go against, but I try my best no to! Thanks for watching!
I absolutely love how this turned out! You definitely underpriced yourself. I have a set of my own that I am wanting to do exactly like this so thank you for showing me how to do this!!🤍
You can do it! Thanks for watching!
I like the way you have transitioned into a teaching video on refinishing furniture. I'm learning a lot and I love refinishing furniture. Thank you.
Awesome, thank you! That is what we are truly here to do! Thanks for watching, Julia!
I wanna ask you if I have a good idea or you want to go see a seecanwith you good time with you too dosomethingdo it I And
Oh okay I I wanna ask you if I have a good without a you understand I know I miss your time and Call Good Understand and your love ofproblemGoodjustIproblemcall problem call or calling you l used it Or
I’m pretty sure if you would’ve flipped those chairs over you would’ve found that there were four screws holding the seats to the frame. When I do finishes like this I remove the seats which makes painting and staining so much easier. Just a thought in case you do another set like this.
You know... I don't think I checked but I will definitely keep an eye out next time!
Thanks for the idea Connie 😊
I was definitely thinking the same thing!
I have the same dining set and they do have screws.
You have inspired me!! I had a counter-high square dining room table, but our family has outgrown it so I sold it on marketplace and found a regular round table with a leaf on marketplace. I wasn't going to redo it, but after watching this flip as well as a Beyond Paint flip, I am gonna do it!! I've purchased the paint and am waiting for it to come in. On another note, I am a retired teacher of 30 years. Proud of you for finding a way to paying off your student loans and finding a new passion in the process. You go girl!!
I think its the Mum in me but when you were working in the dark I was like "aww bless her". Sprayer Lauren, Sprayer, doesn't need to be expensive the air sprayers are fab. Love love love your channel!
I have one! I just haven't pulled it out yet! I am waiting until summer! (: Thanks for watching!
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher you’re going to love it!
I got a sprayer but not good at it yet. And I won’t use it for the bin shellac because of cleaning
Just ordered a Surf Prep sander a few weeks ago. Can’t wait until it gets here.
YOU ARE GONNA LOVE LOVE LOVE!! Let me know how it goes on your first project with it 🙌
Best money spent! You'll love it
I'm going to do something similar to this to my kitchen table and chairs tomorrow... and looking for all the tips I can get. This video was super insightful and your project came out beautiful! Nice work! Wish me luck...😁
You have to break down your estimates to get more accurate ones. Doing each chair would take about 2 hours each. The bigger chair maybe 3. Table 4-5 hours.
Girlie I would have immediately bought a sprayer before my sander ever touched the first piece of wood. You are one tough cookie! I knew when you first said $450 you were at least $200 to $300 short. Beautiful result.
Yeah... 😅
Another learning lesson lol!
I have a sprayer sitting in my garage but we want to wait till summer to bust it out - trust me when I say I almost pulled out early 😂
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful! I love how u price your pieces it's fare. People always want something for nothing which blows me. Keep up the awesome work Teach🥰
Ii use ALOT of wipe on poly, and it can get costly that way. I make my own by mixing half polyacrylic and half mineral spiritstjis equals wipe on poly. Much cheaper.
Turned out beautiful.....when I saw your quote, I thought Oh No!! She underpriced herself!!
BIG TIME 😅
Ya live and ya learn right?
Thanks for watching Lindee!
Looks great! You sure are patient! I am going to try flipping my first chair this weekend. You are so motivating and inspiring! Thanks for all the great videos.
I love to watch you I want to white wash a dining table and chairs that was my mothers it’s over 25 years old it’s an oak table with a pedestal I’m looking so forward to doing this I’ve never done this before but in watching you I believe I have enough information so thank you for sharing what you do because it’s just beautiful.
I think the people who asked for this took advantage of you. If I had asked for you to do this for me & you said $450, I would have said absolutely too low. What’s with people? They knew this was taking advantage.
PS you did a LOVELY job on this❣️ I should have said that first but I’m disgusted at the people. But you kept a great attitude throughout. You’re a BEAUTIFUL person❣️ I need to learn from you both from technique but more importantly from your attitude. 🙏🏼🥰🙏🏼
I thought the same. I would have paid someone at least $1,000 to do this for me.
Great work and yes I’ve done a set and they are “big” project! They just take a lot longer because of how big the table is and all the chairs! Maybe if you broke down the cost for each piece individually and the time you spent approximately on, just the table, just the chairs and just the bench you could figure out a price for each in the future. There is a huge difference between say 4 chairs and 7 plus a bench. Please it was a family friend! In the end, I think the pricing was fair. It was a lot of work but it looks amazing 🤩
Just watching today’s video. Listen to an old lady: don’t use water based top coat - ever. I did on my kitchen table when it was new. Why, you ask. It was too shiny bright for my kitchen. Water based gets sticky in the humidity of summer. Enough so that all summer I was scrubbing the table 4, 5, 6 times a day as it would collect cat hair. Yeah! Just try keeping cats off the table. Frankly, it was disgusting. A friend used it on a wooden rocker. It wasn’t some place you wanted to sit. Maybe summer doesn’t bring high humidity where you are but come July here, it’s darn near raining inside! BTW: you inspired me to tackle refinishing the dining room chairs I’ve been planning to do for about 45 years. They aren’t in perfect shape (about 100 years old). But I’m not either.
You got this! Good luck! (: Thanks for watching!
With the exception to general finish products. Just saying that stuff is worth the money! Two coats satin and one coat of flat give the durability and the low luster finish of a Farmhouse look.
@@karleefuchs6670 : another artist here uses that: 2 coats gloss and one coat matte on her acrylic paintings.
@@amieinnovascotia8490 I do all the time. Huge durability and just the right look after it is all done!
@@karleefuchs6670 : as I mentioned in my original comment, I used a water based clear coat on my kitchen table. It’s OK this time of year but when the heat of the summer coupled with high humidity arrived, the surface became gummy and cat fur plus the grey litter dust from their paws was positively gross. I was constantly scrubbing the table top - every time I entered the kitchen. Don’t know how it stands up on paintings but probably fine. I use oils so can’t apply water base over it.
You need a sprayer girl...makes short work out of a big job! I think you would like one. They are very cost effective. Do you have a harbor freight by you? That where I got mine and I love it for those things I don’t want to brush or roll.
I do have a sprayer - just waiting for the right time to bust it out! Coming very very soon though 😊
Oh good! I am soooooo glad your rate is $30-$40/hr!
I hope you record these notes because you’re definitely going to get more dining set commissions.
Please let us know how they like it!
Great video!!
Oh yeah! I've definitely noted the lessons learned 😉
I will. Head over to our IG where I will be posting the video when we deliver. Should be sometime this weekend!
Thanks for dropping in Leslie!
It must be so difficult to figure out how long everything will take to do!! Sixteen hours sounds like a lot but it really isn't much for an 8-piece set that includes big pieces. It was exciting to hear you mention summer, I can't wait to see what you have in store for us when school is out, but please also remember to take time to rest & relax! It's so easy to overwork & get burned out when we work for ourselves.
It really is one of the hardest parts! But I know as I continue flipping and learning it will get easier and easier! It really wasn't too bad either as we split it up over multiple days. We are so so excited for Summer and to just have a ton of fun and flipping adventures with you and the rest of FFT Community!
As long as I get my pizza and Ben & Jerry's weekly - we will be alright 😄
Hey furniture flipping teacher. What do you recommend for a dresser that has vineer if i want a natural look like the table top
gel stain!
I stain pieces a lot more than paint and you just really have to stir the stain up. Special walnut does get a little bit darker if you really mix it up and get all the way to the bottom.
Thanks for watching!
What is your favorite color of stain?
@@karenbutcher5921 it depends on the piece. But usually warm or neutral stains. I’m not really a fan of gray tones or cooler shades. I hope that helpful.
I tried Jacobean but I thought it was too dark. What color would you suggest if I want to go a little lighter?
My word that wasn’t enough money 😆 $850 easy
I know! I am still learning! (: Thanks for watching!
You could double your production (higher production, higher profit) if you invested in a paint sprayer. This dining room table set would've been perfect for a paint sprayer.
I was thinking the same thing. It could have been done in half the time.
I am going to be trying out a paint sprayer in the very near future (: Thanks for watching!
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher can't wait to see what sprayer you try out. DIY Wife seems to have one that does a great job as does Flipping Nataly.
Nice job on the set. I’ve done a few myself & it can be time consuming for those sets. I’d love to see you do another table set with a sprayer. That Shabby Guy uses a couple of different sprayers.
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher I just did two Barstools for the first time with the Wagner Flexio sprayer. It was a Godsend not to have to hand paint all those spindle areas! I used it with the Kilz, the paint and I watched a video where you can use DB Gator Hide top coat too (might start spraying ALL my top coats at the very least...way faster and nice finish!)
I flipped a set like this but I reupholstered the chairs and bench. It was definitely not my favorite commission piece. It was hard for me.
I agree! The first table I did for our kitchen had cushions and I reupholstered those! The spindles are what get me! Thanks for watching!
Just a little as I know that some people don’t know about a table silencer. My Mom had one and I have continued the tradition. They are a thick pad with plastic type cover and it’s quilted. They go under a table cloth of course but best protection I know of.❤. Nice work. It looks great!
Do you think using paint stripper would make it go faster to getting to the raw wood?
This is BEAUTIFUL!!!! I have a dining room table and chairs that is on my list of things to do. Now, that you've shown how to do this, I won't have to fret anymore! Thanks for ALWAYS teaching us new things!!!
You got it Poppy! You are so so welcome my friend 😊
Great ending, personally I would invest in a spray gun for painting purposes and a quick tip on color finish when staining, if you hit a zone of this or that always mix both colors at a 50/50 ratio it usually comes out where you want it.
Looks great Lauren. I use 220 grit for final sand it makes a smoother finish for painting and staining. I’m in Australia and I tried to order your the sander through your link but they said out of stock. I will look for the finishing pad and try it out, thanks.
Awe man! I'm not too sure if they ship there or not! Thanks for watching!
I am getting ready to start a table that looks exactly like yours! With 4 chairs. Love this video. So glad I found it. Can you please tell me what the purpose of spraying the water on the white paint is for?
Amazing job as always! I love that table too! I need to get on my FB Marketplace and see what I can find. After all, my husband is a professional painter lol and has redone several pieces in our home and I really need a sewing table for my craft room haha He just loves it when I bring up work for him to do when he's at home! NOT! 😂
Hahhaa! You can do it too! Its a lot of work but also so much fun! 😀 Good luck!
Southern Indiana is watching.
Hey hey! 😊☺️
Awww thank you Princess for not forgetting about my question....means alot to me and you helped me make a good decision...you're the best...okay I gotta finish watching ur video haha ....I love how it turned out Lauren....you always do an amazing job! 🤗❣️
You are so welcome! Glad you were able to find your answer here (: Thanks for watching and supporting! (:
I’m glad I’m not the only one pausing the video to comment.
What was the question you answered? I'm sure others may have the same one. Thanks : )
@@KatherineTheGr8t it was a question from instagram and about whether the surfprep sander was worth the investment being I deal with nerve damage etc..for me using a regular sander puts alot of pressure on my hands and arms etc ...so whenever I have to Sand a few pieces I'm down in bed for over a week....
I bet a sprayer would save you so much time. Your a hard working woman! good job.
I've been stripping, building and refinishing furniture for over 20 years and wanted to just offer some friendly advise. It's very important to never sand wood to remove a finish in preparation for stain. It's great if you're painting, but sanding, especially with an 80 grit paper scars the wood, especially when applying pressure. This is why your table top came out uneven and with some darker spots. I used to make this same mistake. The best option is to use a furniture stripper, then a 220 or higher paper by hand to prepare the wood without scarring it, without applying pressure. Wipe on poly is my favorite finish, but not ideal for a table, it will wear away with time. To save time you can purchase a stain with a poly in it.
Thanks Tammy for all these tips with your experience. I also use a stripper for the ones I’m going to stain. I only sand after I’ve stripped it. You’ve confirmed what I’ve been doing for a couple years. And def a stain with poly. Much easier
Where are you located I am moving to Miland Michigan and I need my dining table refinished?
When you say stripper are you referring to citristrip?
Thank you for this…
You're most welcome
Wow what a massive project! You sure undercut yourself.. but as you said live and learn. Looked great but must admit I was hoping you were going to do the grey wash on top, that would have been my personal choice. But this looked great given their flooring. Amazing job❣️
Yes it was! You and me both on the grey wash 😉
Thanks for being here and sharing your kind words!
Love your work!! I want to fresh up some old furniture, but didn't want to look cheap. Thanks for listing materials used and explaining it so well.
It turned out awsome!
Thanks!
Why do you go to school if you own a business?
This just popped up in my feed tonight and WOW! It is so inspiring how far you’ve come since doing this piece (which looks awesome) just 7 months ago!! Obviously you are quite experienced with a sprayer since doing this set (I just watched you do the crib with the Graco one, which is definitely a more advanced sprayer), but this is a great tutorial for those just starting out, or prefer to hand paint vs spraying. Congrats on the success you’ve had this year and can’t wait to see what 2022 brings for you and Neiman!💜
Beautiful professional work. Love the care you took and attention to detail. Good luck in the future and may your home ownership dreams come true.🙂
Thanks for the info I will be redoing my dining set soin
Great job!! When you said $450 i knew you way underpriced yourself!! My hubby and I just refinished our dining set last summer and we had to make a new table top because the old one had just to much water damage. I painted the base and chairs and oh gosh those chairs were ROUGH!! I used a spray primer on them and they were still a pain and stained the seats. Great job and way to push through!!!
Oh wow! You definitely humbled me a bit lol!
Thanks for sharing and watching Teresa 🤗
You did a fantastic job of explaining & your work looks great. I’m doing my dinning room table & I stripped & sanded- citrus tripper which did not do a great job
Getting varnish off. Used it 2x- legs not to bare wood yet. Ugh. Thank you👍🏼
Sorry,but that sander is an astronomical price. And charging your “friend” $450 is outrageous ( for a $400 profit) . So why did you remove the seat tops, that way you wouldn’t have to paint the back edge ,which makes it look cheap.
You rock, i'm a retired school teacher and so I am doing some projects around my home. You motivated me. I have a table in my carport that i've just sanded. You gave me a glimpse of what I am to do. For that I thank you! I'm amazed that you could do all that work in sixteen hours... It looked like a lot more work than that. Honestly i'm a little afraid. Thank you for your demonstration. I bet you are a rockstar teacher as well!
I am in a very similar situation. Creating a farmhouse look for a small dining set for my friend and her family. She asked for the rough estimate on the total cost for me to do this... (mind you ...this would be my 1st ever commissioned work). I told her about $175. Now that you said $450...i feel like I priced it too low. What do you think? Should I tell her a higher price? I never saw the piece in person until I picked it up. And she lives in a nice area too.
Thank you! The table set I am working on isnt real wood. Not sure if that plays apart in it. 🙈🙈
Hi!! Sorry I didn’t catch what type of sander you got ?!? Could you tell me which one you bought and liked more until now ??? Thanks !!
First-time furniture flipper and first-time homeowner as well here! This might be a dumb question but I know nothing about furniture flipping. Could you or someone explain why you are using the spray bottle? I want to make sure I get all the right materials and do all the right things for my first furniture flip. Thank you in advance for all your knowledge! Your work is beautiful!
Great Work!
Man im doing my own dining room table now and I am STUCK! I want the chairs and skirt of the table white like you are doing BUTTTT! I want to use something to highlight the crevasses and still keep the paint looking white... I want to antique it with something that does not darken the entire piece...
Lol so I think you did an amazing job.... You have encouraged me to push harder and get it done...
Thank you for sharing have a blessed day 💜
I am Hulda from Puerto Rico and I love your work, for sure if you where near to me I would be pleasure that you make some work for my kitchen. My kitchen is beautiful for me and the thing is that I am tire of the color. Its all the dark color of that table, and my gabinets are from Caoba, that is in spanish the tipe of wood, and i would like another color on them, they have 38 yrs and still the same because I clean them every 3 months and pass the dark Old Enghish oíl to them. And we didnt have kids, so everything last for very several years as New. I know is July 2022, but we made the house and and I choose them, I still like them but tired of the darker. Could you recomend me some colors for up and down? Thanks a lots, because I would not trust any one else.
If she teaches full time kindergarten, she must be in a district that supports the dickens out of teachers....low class load, lots of support for student needs, zero extra duties before and after school.....I say this because most kindergarten teachers are flat EXHAUSTED at the end of the day, and work several hours each weekend to prep for the week.
Using a paint gun will save you HOURS! Check out Julie of Julie's Designs and Signs (on UA-cam) never even cleans her spray gun out so you won't be bogged down with the cleaning process either!
I have this EXACT set minus the bench, which I’m planning on refinishing this summer. Thank you so much for all your tips! I also now have an idea on how long this is going to take me. 🤎🤎🤎
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for watching 😊
Where did you get this set? I love it!
I throughly enjoyed the video. I do have a question, tho...Why not just remove the seats of the chair bases? Especially since you were using two different painting/staining methods.
I love how this looks!! Great job! You are inspiring me to try small projects. What are some beginner supplies ( as I have none and do t know if I’m going to be good so don’t want to invest heavy.) I also like the white cart where did that come from?
What is the surfprep sander equivalent in Australia? Can't seem to find it online here.. I recently found your channel and I'm inspired to start diy-ing, thank you for your videos :) :)
It’s beautiful ❤️ but you charged way less than it was worth. Fortunately you have a teaching job and another income. However, that work for the set as you painted it, is probably worth about double what u charged.
Dry off the can after pouring! You had a lot running down the can and filling where the lid’s going - it’ll make a mess! Takes you a few seconds to clean it up with your paintbrush or roller, that’s all! ☺️🤗
Omg that turned out soooooo nice. I have a big solid wood set I helped my dad finish when I was young. I inherited it but it’s blond colored (which I can’t stand) and I plan to do exactly this to it down the road.
Sweet! How cool you're going to be able to do that! Best of luck and thanks for watching 😊
I used to do this about 10-15 years ago, but I wish I had had the awesome paints you have available to you now. But I cringe every time I see you kneel on the concrete. I sincerely advise you to invest in a nice pair of knee pads. Your future arthritis pained knees will thank you later. I just had the 4th surgery on my knees and I will need at least one more, my second knee replacement, before I am done. I just had a cleaning out surgery last week and I am in a tremendous amount of pain. At least put some kind of foam pad on the ground when you kneel. Protect those knees as much as you protect every other part of yourself. Please!
Great job! Very curious…what was in the spray bottle you were using when you were painting the white paint on the chairs and table? Could you please explain the technique? Thank you!
I don’t do furniture I’m a glass artist. I have been fusing for close to 20 years and I still struggle with pricing.
It looks amazing by the way.
No, that (the dirt in the water) is what you would have rubbed into your sand paper (and clogging it) if sanding before cleaning! You wouldn’t rub it into the wood, as you said! Just saying… 🤗
Here's an old body working trick when sanding with a duel action sander move the sander with longer strokes looking for a cooler surface continuously so the paper doesn't clogg so fast. With this method you can apply a little more pressure and really feel it cutting through. Fastest way I know, imagine sanding a whole truck inside and out.
The paper and tape part.. autobody shops have a stand that holds both and puts them together as you pull. It even cut the paper with an upward pull.. you may want to look into one of those.
Hi I just redid my kitchen table and used verathane stain (waterbased)and then went on top with a verathane polyurethane (waterbase)topcoat . The kids were doing homework and now you can see pencil indentations and writing marks. I put the topcoat on three times and sanded in between. Help!! What did I do wrong ? Lol
Hi. I like the instructional videos. What do you use to clean wood with? Do you have suggestions on how to refinish my mom's wood dining table? It has plastic tablecloth doily outlines in it and my sisters will kill me if I paint it or the buffet and hutch. Should I sand to bare wood or can the residue be removed and finish restored? Right now it is covered in papers and glasses and plates,, so not in a rush
I am absolutely new to your channel and furniture flipping. I'm curious as to why you are spraying with the bottle before painting? Sorry for the dumb question!
Beautiful. I want to do my dining set, too. I have light-medium grey tiled faux wood like floors.... So not sure which colour of stain to use.
I find just shaking this primer is not enough. You will be surprised if you take a wood stick and start mixing how much is on the bottom of the can. And all those goodies need to be mix together. Great work. 💪🏻
Sometimes that's true for sure! Depends on how long it sits there! Thanks for watching!
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher that could be truth too.
Do I need to worry about temperature when staining and painting? It’s sitting at about 60 where I currently live. I noticed you wear a sweatshirt and some of your videos so I wasn’t sure.
I’ve been procrastinating on starting a dinner set. You got me inspired and now I’ll tackle the one I have been neglecting for months! Great job! Love the stain, everything. Oh, and I just bought a roller seat like yours 😂
You got this! (: Glad you enjoyed - good luck!
Just curious, have you tried any other white chalk paint besides Rustoleum? Christina Muscari has a video where she compares different chalk paints.
Question,.. if you already a set and you freshen it up to sell, like this one,... how would you price piece? Just add the going price for the table and chairs? It seems that may price it out of the market. Ideas?
Very nice!!! Another way to look at is that you made $200 a day. Not bad and if you can add another piece, you can increase that daily income. Best of luck.
New to furniture makeovers and this is a great video full of valuable information!!! Thank you!
