    Look really nice, and it is true, this type of furniture is really pricey, even if you buy it at a second hand store. Your neighbor did not know that he was throwing some good cash money in the curve!

    I painted ALL my furniture white last year and added gleaming accessories! I Love it!!! The mood of the entire house has changed. It’s amazing what some paint can do to transform your life and energy of the home. Nice job 👍.

    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.

  • @kristinab1078
    @kristinab1078 3 роки тому +37

    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.

I would just love to have an accent piece or a couple of made over night stands or tables. I really love the tables you make out of old dressing tables. That’s an ingenious way to give an old piece a new life for someone who will again love it in it’s made over state. May Jehovah God continue to bless you in your ventures. I adore your work.
