$7 to $700 EASY Wood Table Restoration and Repair! Beginner Friendly DIY Furniture Flip

for the list of exact products I used for this mid century modern Mersman table flip! 👇🏼✨

I found this lil guy at a flea market in the middle of the North Woods of Wisconsin 😂 it looked like it had been left outside for 20+ years. I originally offered him $5 and he countered with $25. We eventually settled on $7 but I left feeling like he should’ve paid me to take it since it was in such bad condition 😂😂😂 I was honestly stunned how well it came out!

Here’s how I restored it 👇🏼
+ sanded off old finish with 120 grit & scraped with carbide scraper
+ filled chipped veneer with plastic wood filler
+ applied 2x coats of oil based wipe on polyurethane (wipe off any excess, sand lightly with 220 grit in between coats)
+ hid repairs with blendal sticks
+ sealed repairs with satin lacquer

Ta-daaaa!! An easy beginner friendly DIY for restoring wood furniture and veneer!! Nothing against paint, I just suck at it and it tends to devalue furniture. Plus this is easier for me lol 😂

I love when people restore the wood! Always a shame to cover the grain unless it's a last resort. Lovvee

Fantastic. Restoration that’s actually a restoration. So many people out here doing awful paint jobs on good furniture. This is a treat

I absolutely hate paint. Thank you from the bottom if my heart for restoring this properly. ❤

"Don't paint it" - the sweetest words I ever heard ✨ most furniture flippers are serial furniture criminals I swear

Danish oil with varnish in it is also a great option, it's one product that is easier than stain and properly seals the wood it also comes in many colours.

I found in my storage unit a little end table that was given to me. It was painted a flowering scene. Someone’s talent. I turned it over and it’s made by Lane. 😊 Can’t wait to restore it to its glory!

Crazy how you have to have an eye to spot these little hidden treasures out!! You truly have two talents! The other being able to restore it back to new!

This motivates me even more to restore an old violin case made of black wood. Cheers to this beautiful result, warmed my heart 🤩🎉

That flea market sure looks interesting! Good for you to spot the table, it came out beautifully!

I love your whole business, it's so win-win. You got some cash, and get to entertain us, and the buyer gets a uniquely restored piece that's simply beautiful.

love people who save stuff and transform!!!

I picked up a wood table and a chef rack with metal legs off a neighbor's curb--being tossed out. The chef rack had too much rust to salvage (so I'm using it for temporary storage). But I thought I might be able to fix up the table and sell it or even just make it look better till I figure out something else. It looked so good, it became the solution, rather than the temporary table till I find the solution. I also did a lot of sanding, rust treatment, and wipe on poly. It looks great. And now it doubles as a small two-stool bar table and coffee station.

Forest flea market!! That’s so cool!! 🎉🎉

Did the same with an oak dining room table. Took off the old finish, took it to a 320 finish, then poly-coated it. It's close to heirloom quality and sits in our daughter's farmhouse style dining area. Well done. Cheers

I'm glad you restored that nice table.

[margomoore]

It really must be a great satisfaction to bring such a lovely table back to almost like new condition.

[sagana]

Cool! You have returned the table to its original beauty.
