What do you think this table would sell for in a store? I am so glad I found this & was able to keep this one!
Upwards of two to three thousand dollars.
Maybe in the $2,000- $5,000 range, depending on the maker? I love how this turned out! Makes me want to redo my dining room table. 😍
Easily 2k-4k.
Love how it turned out and glad you could keep it!
If this table were bought new at today's prices, I would say it would cost between $4,000-$6,000 (table), and each chair would be $1,000. So, total $10,000-$12,000.
We tend to underestimate the value of what we have. Now, the people you sell to might not pay that much for new furniture. So, when selling, you have to make them realize the superb quality of the furniture and what something comparable would cost them today. Maybe that will help people be willing to pay a more fair price for the beautiful work you and other refinishers are producing.
They do not even sell furniture of this quality. You did a superb job refinishing it!
Wow, thank you! I appreciate that!
I wasn’t crazy about the top until you did the black paint with it. It’s stunning. Love love love it!
Me too. I kept shaking my head lol. Ending was beautiful ❤
Never mind the table being expensive. The cane chairs are a fortune nowadays too!! Just 1 chair can cost around $300-$500. Table came out beautiful.
Those brass plates you removed weren't just decorative. They protect the base from scuff marks.
I love brass details
This woman knows her primitive paint job. But she lacks in taste and other knowledge.
A beautiful job
That brass would have added detail to the legs.
Congrats on a great buy and an incredible makeover! Back in 1975 I would guess a set this size would be well over $1000. Today’s prices? Probably more around $3-4K. I’ve been watching you for about a year and am so proud of you and how you truly did turn lemons into a huge pitcher of the sweetest lemonade. 🍋🍋
Oh wow! What a wonderful comment! I’m so happy you are here! Thank you!
mine was same area looked like this and I paid over 2000 when tired of it kids took it and its still being passed around. It was with a hutch and was 2500 plus tax. I replaced the covers eventually and looked brand new.
I had a set almost like it in 1984 cost 5 grand with hutch buffet
The idea of matching the table top to the cushions is absolutely brilliant! You would probably pay ten to twenty times more for a set like this from a reputable furniture store. Bravo!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!
I was a bit iffy on the wash until I saw it all together and finished. Looks beautiful.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!
I would of reupholstered the seats to include changing out the foam since the chairs are 49 years old. You would be surprised how yucky the cushion foam is. The colors you chose for the upgrade definitely pop.
My thoughts exactly 💯
Love how this turned out!! The contrast between the black and natural is awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!!
This is exactly my 86 year-old mothers dining room table! She still misses it.
Omg I wasn't keen on it till the reveal, but then that black brings out the dark colors in the wood and it works perfectly. I learned so much.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed
Fabulous results, and I was wondering about the light top, but WOW, it is amazing!! Plus a perfect match to the chair cushions! Brand new would be 6 to 8 thousand dollars easily.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!
So beautiful!!! Looks just like it’s out of West Elm or Pottery Barn!!! Stunning 🤩
Yes! Thank you!
I am new to your channel and I love giving furniture a second life. I liked to see each step of refurbishing this dining room set. Thanks so much!
Just STUNNING! It Turned out ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!
❤the black trim around the table and base ,and those chairs look GORGEOUS
Beautiful job!
That was at the height of the great furniture manufacturers in NC. They made beautiful furniture.
This is one of my favorite flips that you have done. It surely was a lot of work, but it was so worth it. I agree that the seat cushions and the top just elevate this table. It is hard to say how much it would cost to buy something this size . It is so unique and it is better than the quality of so much of the furniture today. Congrats!!
@mariedrotar3215 Thank you! I really appreciate you being here! Hope to see you next time!
Bernhardt is a VERY high end furniture manufacturer! The table alone was probably 3K, you got the deal of a lifetime!!
Yes I agree! Just love it! In my video from last week about auction shopping I picked up a Bernhardt couch (for $12!) and ended up keeping it. Top notch quality! Thanks for being here!
Is it a water based or oil based stain. you said both??
sorry. stain in oil, poly top coat was water
I usually love Bombay mahogany stain and it's my go-to. But I wanted to take a minute and say that I love the look! Make over looks so elegant and would fit into most design schemes. Keep those videos coming!
Thank you @enchantedgothicglamourwith8436! This makes me smile! So happy to hear!
I bought this same table for $60, no chairs, a few years ago and refinished for my kitchen. I love what you did with it!
That is awesome!
I came across this when I was refinishing a dining table for my daughter’s after college apartment & looking for inspiration. I love the end result! Your vision is amazing. Most people can’t see that far ahead or follow through between design, execution & end result-Bravo!
I’d say the set would sell here for $3-4k. Too bad they didn’t have the hutch/buffet!
I love what you did with the one you already had. I just found that video. Both are gorgeous!
My only advice would be to finish the edges that are unseen when it’s together but show when taking the leaves out. I am my father’s daughter and he always stressed doing a project 100%, like the sides of drawers & leaves, and removing hardware & hinges prior to finishing. It can be a curse sometimes!
If you wanted to upgrade the padding on those gorgeous chairs or change the fabric, it’s easier than it sounds to reupholster them -and you already have the skills and tools needed. (& brilliant artistic vision).
To duplicate the piping at the edge, you simply insert cording (or appropriate sized round shoelace or twine etc, like a taco, between a layer of fabric strip cut on the bias. The bias cut allows the fabric to mold seamlessly around corners. Or 2 rows is very stylish too, each encased separately -in either matching or contrasting fabric. If you have trouble getting your cording to make a tight curve, use your steam iron while gently stretching & holding it in the right shape.
Can’t wait to see your next flip! Thank you for sharing all your tips, insights and advice too!
Thanks so much for your tips! Yes when the time comes I will be updating those chairs.
I have a table exactly like this except light wood. I still love It, but table top veneer is worn after 30 YEARS! Thank you for helping me save It!
That is awesome! You are welcome!
I would never have thought of having the natural top to match the cushions!! Looks so nice !
Great work! At a store it would have cost easily $2500. Beautiful table with great bones! Beautiful work and you did it the correct way! Congrats!
Thank you very much!
We took a table nearly the same as yours to the local tip. Here in England absolutely NO ONE wants them. I love what you did. Great job.
@helenmears6178 Thank you! I really appreciate you being here! Hope to see you next time!
FYI: When peeling up tape, it's better to keep the angle very low. By this, I mean that the hand holding the unstuck tape should be very close to the still stuck tape.
Ok thx!
Oh my goodness ! This is absolutely beautiful ! The colour contrast is spectacular. This has to be my favourite piece I've seen you do. As always,.Love & Blessings from Nova Scotia, Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️ xo
Thank you @sylviamacdonald7625! This makes me smile! So happy to hear! Hope to see you next time!
@@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture You will definitely see me next time. I never miss a video.xo
Before you broke out the stain, I was thinking, I would go woth a natural top with white washed stain! So glad you did! I would add a beautiful rug with touches of black under your table😊
@susanm8957 Thank you! We appreciate you watching!
It have cost no less than. $3,500 to $4,000. It came out so beautiful
Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!
One of my favorites so far. Beautiful
Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Love you flips, I’m so obsessed with furniture flips. But scared to try it wish me luck in finding my first flip.
very best wishes! You can do it!!
Think it’s lovely but I would have elevated a bit more by beige washing just the cane portion of the chairs so they don’t look simply spray painted. Also that would tie into the neutrals of the wood top and the fabric decks of the chairs, not to mention the other lighter elements in your room. Just my two cents worth. But lots of dedication and work went into this. You are a soldier!
Thanks so much! I was worried bc the cane was almost 50 yrs old how much I could sand for best adhesion and since it will get decent use, how would paint stand up over time w/o touch up. Plus the emerald trim paint can crack if it gets poly on it (it has one built in) so I would have had to be super careful to poly the cane by hand. You can tell I weighed my options on that one. Lol I definitely considered it.
Thank’s for sharing
I love love love it. Beautiful
Thanks so much 😊
Beautiful!! Thank you for being sooo detailed! It really helps! God bless you!
You are so welcome!
Absolutely beautiful! Enjoy! Thanks so much for sharing
Thank you so much!
Aunt lois had a set like this , she wore it out with entertaining her friends and loved family members, she was quite the maven in the stirri g up memories department. I miss her.
Easy this would be $3000-4000. Simply gorgeous
@jw6504 Thank you! I really appreciate you being here! Hope to see you next time!
I am new to furniture restoration projects. I loved watching your video! The table and chairs turned out beautifully! I have dark brown table, chairs , and side bar table. I will be working on removing the dark stain to a lighter more modern stain.
Thank you!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Quite stunning! You did an unbelievable job on this. I have refinished ENDLESS pieces over the past 60 years and your results were superb. I as disappointed at first when you decided to leave the top and not paint it black, but that absolutely *made* it. Thank you for the great ideas. Keep squeezing those lemons.
@mjz4043 Thank you! I really appreciate you being here! Hope to see you next time!
I have this exact set ! I have 8 chairs with the cane backs now I know how to refinish mine!
Thank you @lindachandler7487! This makes me smile! So happy to hear! Hope to see you next time!
Gorgeous! 😍 $900-$1000 in my area for an updated set. More if new. You've inspired me to get back to my piece that's been "in process" for too long. I'm going to use the carpenter's pencil tip.
Wonderful! You can do it!!
Watched this at the airport! I’m poised to travel home and do the same flip to my dining table! This was awesome! Loved it! (I’ll also be assembling that shed soon! ❤)
Yes!! So excited! Glad I could provide a bit of inspo! Safe travels!
North Carolina has history of well made furniture😀
Totally!!
I so agree with you on the cushions and the table top!!! Looks fantastic!!
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you so much for showing us the rasor blade edge technique! So smart💖
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Quedó precioso!!!
Fantastic!
Many thanks!
Loved your presentation and explanations. Very educational and ENTERTAINING. I had similar table and chairs in 1974..!! Loved them until moving and replacing with thrift ed 🎉white farmstyle set. Someone got a beautiful set as I donated that set!!
Thank you very much! I’m glad you are here! I know, I think we are about to see a lot of farmhouse popping up in the thrift stores now!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
I am new to your channel and I absolutely love what you do. I have been thinking of refinishing our dated dining room table and chairs and you've given me the courage to do it! I learned a lot from watching this video. I love your positive attitude and demeanor, you are a joy to watch. Thank you so much! Your new dining room table and chairs are amazing! I think a new dining table and 6 chairs could easily cost $4,900, $2,500 for the table and $400 for each chair. 😊
@georgeneschroeder7284 Thank you! I really appreciate you being here! Hope to see you next time!
Very nice video! Thank you.
Thank you too!
I have the same table and chairs. I have been looking to see how to update the set. Thank you for your awesome video!
You are so welcome!
I am new to your channel….. I was so afraid you would paint everything white…. So glad u used black and did not cover the wood grain with paint ❣️
Welcome! Glad you liked it!
Learned sooooo much! Once again, the correct tools made such a difference. I was surprised at no eye protection. Great job!!!
Thanks for watching! Glad I could share some tricks with you!
Love what you done with this dinning set. You could easily paid over 2800. ❤
I think so too!

I’m from the UK and loving your flips! Very jealous of your thrift stores, the ones here are very small and no where near as cheap for furniture. The dining set looks beautiful, you’ve done such a good job and definitely inspired me!
Oh thank you! I’m so happy to have you!
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful
Thank you so much!
I have no guess on price in a store but I love the end product! Thank you
You are so welcome!
Gorgeous!!!

Loved how this turned out!
Thanks for the edging tip!

Great job!
Thanks for the visit!
24:41 I just discovered your channel and I am so happy! I love your work. I’m not a flipper, but have a house full of furniture I need to update. Thank you for your excellent instructions!
Thank you @lisavhurley! This makes me smile! So happy to hear! Hope to see you next time!
I liked that you didn’t paint the top. Painted tops don’t wear well. I usually put glass over the tops of my painted side tables. I’m Dave Ramsey fan too! Way to go!
Thank you!! Yes! That was my biggest concern as our main table. I did not want to constantly touch up! Plus I love a well done 2 tone look. Thanks for watching!
Gorgeous ❤
Thank you! 😊
Oh my word. I love this! Now I want to do this to my ugly dining room table. It’s close to what this one looks like but from the 90’s 😂
Thanks!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!
So beautiful and classic your diligence and hard work paid off
Thank you @zonyasvintage7859! This makes me smile! hope to see you next time!
WOW Stunning, Great Job!!!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful. Im learning so i can furnish house on a budget.
You can do it! I am working on a video on how I flipped my entire front room and dining room with thrifted furniture! Hope you watch!
The tabletop looks very much like polished marble!
Kara, I love how fearless you are. You have a vision, then work hard to bring it to fruition. The top stain with the black paint looks amazing. Great job on a great find. I would think, buying that set new would cost somewhere around 2,000 dollars on the low end. Good furniture is expensive. It looks amazing! Still praying for you my dear. God bless
Thank you so very much Janet. You truly bless me with your comments and support. Chris re-hired by his last employer. They decided they couldn't afford to lose him. Thank you for your prayers! We are excited that once again, God makes a way, when there seems to be no way! Have a great weekend!
Table and chairs look great,now your hutch needs the same elevated redo.
it got one! lol thanks for watching
awesome job! Love it!
Thanks so much!
Wow! That turned out really beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
Loved the transformation! I have a similar table and chairs that I inherited from my folks and have been waiting for inspiration to transform it. And now watching your video I'm excited to get working on it. And thanks for the razor blade tape tip - it's a round table so that will come in handy. Love your work and all the valuable information you provide.Thanks!
Thank you @lbaily3435! This makes me smile! So happy to hear!
Absolutely love what you did with this stunning classic. I enjiy learning new tips from you. Civering the stripper with plastic wrap will be very useful. Thank you. I love your kind gentle spirit.
Thank you Paula! I am so happy to have you!
5,000 if you got it from a furniture store and things was made way better then so reallly it was so worth all your hard work when people come to your home and see it they are going to think you spent a lot on that Especially with that beautiful Chair caning
Yes! I agree! Thanks for watching
Absolutely gorgeous!!!!! We have an old set that looks a lot like the original, except it is golden oak. I would love to do this to it!!!!
Go for it! Thanks to watching!
