I'll take you through all the steps of furniture flipping, from prep, stripping the finish, veneer repair, using a paint sprayer, applying top coat, building new legs, and my favorite part, oiling the wood! I've got some good tips and tricks in the video so I hope you’ll find them helpful. Products and tools I use or talk about in this video will be listed below :)

What do you think of this makeover? 😊
What a fantastic transformation!!! Quick question... Did you dilute your polyurathane at all???
@@rlbrown65 thank you! Yes we strain and diluted it but not by much ☺️
These pieces turned out beautiful.. I love black paint with richly stained (or oiled) wood accents. If I may make a suggestion - using screws as drawer stops will cause damage to the drawers in the long run. It would be worth the few dollars to purchase a package of proper drawer stops to replace the missing ones.
Thanks Kim! Thanks for the suggestion you’re right. I didn’t have any at the time but I should get some
Looks amazing... beautiful. Love the color combo.. nice work.
HI Charlie, omg great profit on this set, it's beautiful, love the color with the wood tone, ....Take care...cheers !!!
Thank you so much Martine!! I’ve been seeing so much black and warm wood I had to do it 😊 thanks for the support always ❤️
Looks so elegant love the color
Thank you Oreo!!! Glad that you like this one too ❤️❤️
Bravo Darling
You created a masterpiece
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! ❤️
Beautiful make over!! Love that you made matching legs and showed us how to do it! Lovely color combo with wood and classic black. Turned a great profit.
Thank you! I was humming and hawing about whether I wanted to stain it before oiling it but I think we made the right choice ❤️
Looks fabulous, great job you two!!!🥰
Thank you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I don't usually prefer vintage pieces being painted, but this is beautiful. I love how you preserve some of the wood, and the black accent looks really classy.
Thank you! On a piece with such beautiful grain like this I try to keep at least some :)
Love what you did on this 1!👏
Thank you! The oiling was oh so satisfying! ❤️
From stripping paint on old cars over many uyears I have found it works faster when you place cling film over the stripper as it doesnt evaporate as fast especially in warmer weather also creates less mess and you can use your time more efficiently
Haha you noticed it was drying up on me 😂 I usually do cling film when I’m leaving it longer than an hour but you’re right it would stay more wet with some on there. Thanks for sharing your expertise! Can you use these regular strippers on cars too or do you guys use a car/metal specific stripper?
Beautiful!
Thanks Shawn ❤️
Beautiful job and great profit!!
Thank you so much ☺️
Best to use a triangular piece to repair veneer rather than square, shows up less. Great save !
Oh wow I think I’ve actually heard this before somewhere 🤦♀️ blends in better right? Ill do this next time thanks for the tip! ❤️
Yes it tricks the eye as not a blunt line xo @@hollysgarage
Lovely~!
Thank you Kay ❤️ glad you enjoyed
Parabéns lindo trabalho.
❤️❤️
Beautiful finish, but I prefer drawer hardware. 👍😊
Thanks Nancy! This one originally had no handles, just a groove under the drawer to grip. But you’re right it could have looked really nice with hardware too!
As far as I know, you don't need to do a lead test on stained 1980's retro furniture. Just really old paint finishes contain lead.
Thanks! Still learning my way around dating pieces and finishing techniques over the decades. I read somewhere that stains and other finishes can also contain lead but not if manufactured after the 80s. Still crossing my fingers I don’t accidentally get a pink swab some day 😂
@@hollysgarage My guess is 1980's based on the materials used, & the retro styling. There were "modern" furniture manufacturers in the '80s that cranked out a lot of streamlined designs reminiscent of 1950's MCM styles. I think of them as the precursor to IKEA. I only know this because I was born 60+ years ago! Your makeover turned out great, you made an awesome profit, & kept usable furniture out of the dump, so keep doing what you're doing, & have fun w/it!
@@hollysgarageI support you testing any furniture item. I, too, have read that some finishes may have lead from MCM style stuff. Better safe than sorry.
What happens if a furniture piece does end up having lead? Can it still be sanded and painted??
Technically yes you can still sand it but just know all the dust and fumes flying in the air are extremely toxic, I would probably suggest not taking the chance of being exposed and try to find a new piece 👍
Looks amazing... beautiful. Love the color combo.. nice work.
Thank you so much Lydia ❤️
