Hey there! I'm Brenda, and I'm obsessed with breathing new life into old furniture! This channel is all about upcycling, restoration, and DIY projects that are kind to your wallet and the planet. ♻️
Let's be honest, I'm not exactly the picture of crafting perfection. I have ADHD, so sometimes things get a little...interesting (read: slightly chaotic!), and I'm the queen of klutz. But guess what? That doesn't stop me from creating amazing things! Here, you'll find beginner-friendly tutorials that anyone can tackle, and budget hacks to keep that wallet happy.
I'm also a believer in the power of creativity as therapy - it's good for the soul (and maybe distracts you from the neverending to-do list in your head, if you know what I mean!). So, if you're ready to unleash your inner creative genius (even if it's messy!), join me on this upcycling adventure! Let's turn trash into treasure, one project at a time.

Stain would’ve worked better IMHO. hard work!
Perfect if you squint
Great tips and tricks on a good thorough cleaning!!
At least it is ugly…
Love the details! Thanks for sharing ❤
why ?
No no and please no
Wow that's amazing. Love the natural wood.
However, not removing and cleaning the hardware seems lazy. Otherwise; thank you for not slapping chalk paint. All over it. Real wood furniture is getting scarce 😮😮
What a great breakdown of your processes! I really like the step-by-step explanation and the 'why' of what you choose to do. 😀
Amazing detail! Love your Thumbnail!
Brilliant Brenda xx
What is it?
It's a paint stripper called Paint Panther :)
Looks so pretty! Great job on the spot where you had to color correct. Also love the liner you chose.😍
Love it! ❤
Thanks so much! 🥰🙏
Very well done!!! It looks stunning!
Thanks so much Krystal! I don't often do neutrals, but I do love them when I do! 😍🥰🙌
Turned out lovely Brenda ❤

Thanks so much 🥰🙏
How do you know if a piece needs to me sanded?
If I am painting a piece, then I generally just do a scuff sand to smooth the surface & help the paint adhere. If I am restoring a piece, then I normally start with a paint stripper, then sand to even out the surface after stripper and get any bits of finish that I may have missed. Or, if the finish is barely hanging on, then I'll just sand the old finish off. It gives an ven slate to put your new topcoat on. So, in short, I always sand! What I'm doing determines what degree of sanding I'm doing :)
Gorgeous!
Thank you! Cheers!
This looks amazing! Love this idea! ❤🎉
Thank you!! 😊
Have you tried hand taping a sunburst design four times or are you smarter than me?? 😂😂
What do you use for cleaner? I am attempting to redo my grandparents dining set for my daughter
I normally just use a dish soap like Fairy Liquid (or Dawn dish soap if you're in the US). It's cheap and effective as it's a degreasing cleaner :)
Thank you
You’re welcome ☺️
My mind is blwn at how beautiful this is! ❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much Krystal, this was a special piece!! 🥳
Wow i have never seen anything like that!! Way cool!
They’ve made such a big difference to my lighting and I’m such a tight arse, if I can try do it myself, I will! 😂
@@phoenixfurniturestudio girl sameeee!!!! I will DIY it all!!! Haha!
i hope for an asmr video that would be more fun
Sorry it wasn’t more fun for you…
That is such a cool set-up! I'll have to look out for that, thanks!
It’s so worth it Cat! I’m even thinking about getting another set for the other side of the ceiling!
Save the plastic bags from grocery shopping. Cut down to size, cover area that willl not be painted, one piece of tape around bottom of leg and paint ~ won't spend much on tape then :)
Great tip!! Thank you for sharing 🥳🙌
@@phoenixfurniturestudio you're welcome ... that tape is expensive and I'm cheap 🤣
@@cynthiamartin2197 I feel you 😂😂
Oh, that is gorgeous!
Thanks so much for watching 🥰🙏
Wonderful video and the cabinet looks fantastic
Thanks so much for watching, appreciate the support 🥰🙏
What do you think of this wood grain?! 🤩
It's really cool! I love that you made the insides equally unique and epic! 🤩
@@upperella thanks so much for watching 🤩🙌 I loved creating the Art Deco surprise inside!
Some people have strange taste
Why is bronze strange? 🤔

Frankentable
Exactly 😂
Это прекрасно 😍🥰💐…
Thanks so much 🥰🙏
Stunning ❤
Thanks so much 🥰🙏
This is fantastic. How would you have dealt with any open joints/cracks on this table?
As long as the cracks aren’t massive, I would use some wood glue mixed with the sanding dust from the table. If the joints are super loose (which I don’t think happens on these tables very often) then you would need to reglue and clamp 😊👍
Beautiful job!
Thank you so much 😀
