I wanted to throw in a twist though, and I figured what better way than to take some free pallet wood to dump some very expensive epoxy onto. Being my first epoxy table, there were some inevitable mistakes made along the way. Some things I should have done differently: 1. The individual planks had some warping, especially after burning. I should have tied the boards together with some inlays on the bottom or domino joints to create one flat board prior to burning. This would have made it easier to control the warping. 2. I planed off too much depth with the router when I was flattening the table. This put a lot of strain on the router bit, and I also accidentally cut into a part of the table where the wood was sticking up higher than the rest. 3. Ideally, I should have done a coat of table top epoxy on top of the deep pour epoxy. This would create a more durable outer coat. This was definitely a challenging project for me, but I learned SO much. I'd love to know what you think about this kind of project, since it is a different concept than my usual furniture makeover/restoration videos.

I had to pull out three different veneer repair methods to tackle them all appropriately: 1) Replacing a part of the veneer with a new cut of veneer, 2) Patching the damage with wood epoxy then masking it using stain, and 3) Removing the veneer completely and just embracing the wood layer underneath. But the most rewarding part of this restoration was figuring out how to get the light working again. The light fixture inside the middle door was missing the bulb, and the furniture being a retro piece from 1955, it used a type of bulb that is very difficult to find today. Unable to find a replacement bulb, I went and bought a new LED light bar. I then did some rewiring to enable the use of the existing push button that acts as an automatic activator for the light when the door is opened. Even though the circuit is a very simple one, I still felt like Tony Stark when I got it working.

When I brought them home, I noticed that one of them must have originally been a cabinet with 2 doors, not a dresser. This was clear because doors were obviously cut into 4 sections and made into drawers; even the rail construction was different from the other dresser. A previous owner must have DIY'd it. As much as I appreciated the creativity, it wasn't something I could leave as-is, and rather than undoing the work, I had the idea of just salvaging the solid wood from the whole piece and using parts of it to add onto the other piece in the form of drop-leaves.

In this furniture makeover, I transform a dated cabinet/dresser using cane, handmade handles and legs, and a white + whitewash color combo for a modern boho look. I found this piece on FB Marketplace many months ago and it was sitting in storage waiting for me to come up with an idea for it. Ever since my last cane makeover, I've wanted to reattempt the caning process (last time I didn't wet the cane prior to stapling, which I now know is the best way to ensure a tight application). This piece did not look like a good candidate for a caning project because, well, it didn't have an opening for me to cane. But then I thought, why don't I just MAKE an opening and cane it... And just like that, this video was conceived. Check out my other cane makeover in a dark color: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXgx1cKn5mE I hope you found some value in this video.

In this makeover, I transform an old desk into a set of mid-century modern nightstands with a unique stain and paint combination. Once a part of a 1950s desk, these pieces have been repurposed to stand as independent nightstands, bonded in style. The top, base, and face of the desk were made out of particle board. This meant that I would have to replace them with solid wood if I wanted to stain them, so that's exactly what I did with this project. For the top and base, I used a couple of salvaged dining table tops that I collected over time through Facebook Marketplace (you can often find them for super cheap or sometimes even free, which is amazing for the amount of solid wood you’re getting.) For the drawer fronts and the door, I used solid wood cutting boards that I also had in my garage — they were the perfect depth! :D If you enjoyed this makeover, please like and subscribe to see more.
