    In this video I remove paint from a thrift store table to reveal beautiful wood underneath.

    Coming from someone who has had one in their family for over 40 years, those rings are almost definitely black coffee rings. Ours sat between my mom and dad's recliners, and between my dad's mom's recliners as well. It's where my folks and my dad's folks drank their coffee every morning. My dad eventually did what you've done here to ours and it turned out so beautiful. I really do love a solid, old piece of functional furniture ❤

  • @furlvr1961

    Absolutely lovely! My family had two walnut mid-century step-tables; a side step-table (similar to yours) and a square corner step-table when I was growing up. I remember them well and fondly. In fact, I wish I still had them, except due to their size, they took up a fair amount of room in the small living room we had. You've done a great job!

    Those "step" end tables were hugely popular during the mid-20th century, and I'm surprised that they never made a large-scale comeback. Aside from the overall popularity of midcentury design, the tables themselves were extremely practical (the upper surface was for a lamp, and that freed the lower surface for drinks, books, magazines, and other household items). My grandparents had a set of them from the 1950s (with a matching coffee table) that were teak, with beautiful glass insert that would look great today in a mid-century style living room.

  • @debsmith2269

    Well worth the $5 you shelled out for it. It turned out beautifully and looks better than a factory finish. I think the thing I don't like about typical MCM furniture is that the manufacturers seem to use a lot of toners to make the different timbers look the same. This inevitably obscures the grain and, in my personal opinion, can make the furniture look bland. Whenever people like you, Angie, Barry, etc, refinish this type of furniture, you usually end up bringing out the grain rather than covering it, resulting in some really beautiful and more interesting pieces.

    I’m so glad you took a chance on this piece - it turned out beautifully! That’s exactly the type of piece I wanted in my living room, but ended up settling for a slightly older, but still nice, piece with a leather top. I did have a family piece (same style) that was blonde….. I do like light furniture, but the blonde was just too artificially light for my tastes.

      Didn't you think the painting was really rather pretty, though? It had reached the end of its painted life, perhaps, but the painted table too had given a family pleasure. And now the table goes on to a new phase in its life.
