  • Someone in my neighbourhood put this dark old coffee table out for trash so I scooped it up and gave it a more modern makeover. I stripped the top and refinished it with a light and airy paint wash and then painted the base a bright off white. One person’s trash is another person’s awesome new furniture piece!

    I think it’d be really cool if you made a segment on your channel where you view subscriber submissions to help them decide how to flip their own projects. I think you have a great eye for this sort of stuff, and I think people would love to hear your suggestions.

    I'm glad to see you kept the integrity of the wood grain on the top of the table. I think this adds more value than if the entire piece was covered in layers of paint. In the future, I suspect solid wood pieces will be harder to come by and natural wood or gently washed wood will be more appreciated than it is now.

    THE POERTY OF THE DISCARDED
    Round - too low
    What ?
    A discard at the curb
    ...to be crushed or burned
    I heard the tires squeal - stop !
    She scooped me up ...what ?
    No ! I was safe - saved
    ...saved from rotting nothingness
    She turned her head - her eyes shone
    I shuttered ... and felt the glory in her face ...
    I was not a discard - tossed away
    I am a glory and beauty
    ....CATCH ME IF YOU CAN !!
