One inspiring youtuber (although they don't do furniture flips as of late), DIY Wife channel

I really was inspired by some Youtube channels to dare repaint, re-stain or reinvent and reuse furniture, both mine and my friends', that was otherwise going to the landfill or trash burn pile. The DIY wife was one of these inspiring YT channels. As of late, they are designing their own furniture, so they might not be as relevant to this community. However, their older videos with restyling might be relevant to other people like me who are trying to save old furniture that is too worn out or doesn't fit the current aesthetics of your home.

  • I like this but I think it would have been interesting to keep the feet with the wood stain.

    • For this particular piece, I agree. However, the feet of mid century modern furniture are usually made from a different (stronger) wood type than the main veneer on the piece. So unless you're really skilled with wood stains and toners, you will get feet that look totally off from the main body.

      • Makes sense. I think it looks great. Love seeing this type of creativity.
