SIDE NOTE- as mentioned in the video, I'm not loving the natural legs with this piece. But to be perfectly honest, I think what bothers me the most is the plastic wicker part. It was great on the lower part of this two piece unit because the whole thing was painted black and it just blended in. But here, it's a different colour and it just stands out too much. I feel like if that didn't exist, the stained elm, backboard and natural legs would all work. But that wicker part is like the straw that broke the camel's back. lol My staging rug also isn't doing me any favours with this reveal, because it's very similar in texture and tone to the fake wicker. haha. Sigh. Can't win 'em all. lol Even though this isn't one of my favourites, I still wanted to share this because sometimes, this is how projects go. Things that seem like good ideas at the time don't always end up that way, and that's ok. They can either be modified or fixed, but there is almost always someone who loves it just the way it is and would want to purchase it. Food for thought, and I encourage your opinions on what I've said here!

It usually has to do with the span of the piece and the weight. Especially with the long mid century pieces, they tend to develop a sag in the middle over time and could really benefit from a fifth leg. Thanks so much for watching!

I think it's a VAST improvement over how it started. I think I would have done the legs in Up in Smoke to create a more cohesive look. I really like the wallpaper backing, and am tempted to suggest painting the legs a turquoise to complement that.
