WOW that video was awesome and with the awesome music the photos of all 101 pieces just flowed so I couldn't believe I saw 101 of them. I have been refinishing furniture since I was about 18 and I am now 55. My idea of Curb Appeal is not of houses for sale with pretty flowers out front but, of furniture put out for the taking, and I bring it home and redo it either for myself or to sell. My mom came to visit me today and she hadn't been here since 2 summers ago and she looked around my very large living room and said I had way too much furniture but, I replied with, "It was all free and none of it is standing alone, each has a purpose". Granted I do have too much. I love little tables and I have a real problem passing them up I do many U turns to go back and check it out. I brought home a table the other day and my boyfriend said it is a hopeless piece of furniture and I told him wait until the weather breaks. I have a large porch off my apartment with 2 outlets outside and I have sanding tools and a miter box and I have had other pieces people though were gross and later they wanted to buy the pieces. I found an old child's desk years ago that was missing a draw. I went to Home Depot and bought the wood and asked a friend who makes drawers and he knows how to make it with dove tail which is how the other drawers were made. He made me a drawer and I painted it blue and took a sponge when that dried and dipped it into a pretty yellow and now it has the speckled look. The other day a neighbor put 2 brand new shaker style oak end tables in perfect condition out on his curb with a nice shelf under the top. He didn't want any money. They only had them for 2 years. I am not one to paint over good beautiful wood but, when I saw the table in your video with the stencils scalloped shell in each corner OMGosh I want to do that now. I think on one table will be a scallop and maybe a horse conch on the other or maybe a star fish or a sand dollar.

One more thing and then I will close this novel - my headboard is the side rail my grandfather made me to keep me from falling out of bed. It hooked right up to my frame just perfect. It is made with huge industrial bolts which are kind of cool looking. I am now 55 and how cool is that. I also thought if I ever have my own house I would suspend it in the kitchen over an island with molly bolds, get some large hooks and can hang my pots from it. My grandfather is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. He was a CB in World War II and when he came home he went to Long Beach Island, NJ and bought up many lots for $50 each and built a huge house on one, another huge house on another and a wood working shop that later turned into an ice cream store for his 4 sons to work at and earn college money in the summers. When pop died, my grandmother opened her fabric shop which was a life long dream. sorry for the novel, very surprised no one has commented at all on this video. Was too good not to say anything. Gave me some new ideas for pieces I have that are of like ones in the video. - Rebekah from Alexandria, VA

Most of these are just repainting or upholstering items then using them exactly as they were intended to be used when they were created in the first place. Which is cool and everything looks beautiful but the ones where you transform something I feel are more useful. Or they would be if there were tutorials on how they were achieved.
