This vintage pine table was missing its base, and a client needed a table with a primitive style and specific dimensions. We're giving this piece a new life by stripping the old finish and building a strong, durable base designed to last for generations. Stripping the old finish is a critical part of the transformation process: •Apply a chemical stripper and let it set to break down the finish. •Scrape off the softened layers (this may take more than one application). •Rinse with plain water to remove residue, ensuring excess water is wiped back quickly to avoid damage. •Allow the wood to dry completely—usually 24 hours. •Sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper to prep it for its next chapter. For the new base, we’re using pocket holes, braces, and permanently secured extension leaves to meet the client’s specific needs. Strong corner braces and sturdy legs will ensure this table lasts for generations to come. Stay tuned as we color-match the top and base for a seamless, finished table. #furnituredesign #furniture #Home #homeinspo #savedbydesign #paintedfurniture #DIY #lowespartner

This works for paint and stain⤵️ For the full process, check out our YouTube- savedbydesigntn 1. Brush on - We use a basic chip brush with our paint/stain stripper. Brush it on liberally and allow it to set for 15 - 20 minutes. Touch up any areas that dry out during that time. Some stubborn finishes may require repeat applications. 2. Scrap off - Use a solvent proof plastic scraper to remove the excess. We use a plastic drop sheet to collect the runoff residue on the floor that makes for easy cleanup. 3. Scrub with water - this is the key trick. Use a scrub brush with water to scrub down the residue. This works great for detailed areas that are difficult to sand. You can use After Wash instead of water if desired, but it isn't necessary. 🚨🚨We rinse most things down inside over the plastic drop cloth. For more detailed solid wood pieces, we spray those down outside. It's important to note that we only rinse down the minimal residue, and we are not on a city drain system. It is your responsibility to research proper disposal regulations in your areas as they vary greatly in different locations🚨🚨 4. Wipe down with wet cloth - We use a terry cloth rag to wipe down the surface. Rinse in the water and wipe again. Allow to dry at least 24 hours before proceeding. 5. Fine finish sanding - Each piece varies. We use 220 grit most often to do a light finish sand to even out the color. Use your discretion as to what grit is needed. . . . #savedbydesign #furnituredesign #furnitureflip #DIY #paintedfurniture #homeinspo #homedecor #Home #painting

This dresser came to us as a client-owned piece from American of Martinsville, a renowned name in mid-century furniture. While its quality construction, its bleached veneer presented a significant challenge when it came to refinishing. The result sparked some debate in the comments because of how the stain turned out—showing just how tricky it can be to work with non-stain grade veneers. The Hurdle If you’ve ever tried to work with mid-century bleached veneers, you know they can be a challenge. These veneers were manufactured with a unique process where the wood was chemically treated or lightly painted to create a specific look—often with a faux wood grain or lighter color. This treatment, combined with the nature of the wood itself, makes it nearly impossible to absorb stain evenly after stripping. To tackle this, I started by applying a chemical stripper to remove the existing finish. From there, I applied a base stain, sealed it with a topcoat, and layered water-based stain as a toner to even out the color. I even used touch-up products to refine areas that needed extra care. Each step was about balancing the wood’s natural look with a finish that would last. Why This Matters Understanding the difference between stain-grade and non-stain-grade veneers is key for projects like this. Veneers like this were never designed to showcase natural wood grain like walnut, cherry, or oak. Instead, they have a smoother, more uniform look that was popular in their time. While they can’t achieve the depth or dramatic character of high-grade veneers, they still offer a clean and classic finish when refinished correctly. It’s about working with the veneer’s unique properties to bring out its best, not trying to make it something it’s not. #furniturerefinishing #furniture #Home #homeinspo #savedbydesign #DIY #restoration #midcentrurymodern
