00:00Oh hello, it's me again.
00:01Back at it again with another edition of Furniture Flip.
00:03Follow me this way.
00:04Come on.
00:05Unfortunately, a big old puppy did get to these corners.
00:08You hate to see it, really.
00:09But now the MDF is exposed, so let's fix it.
00:11It'll be like nothing ever happened.
00:13Before we fix those corners, though, you know, it's gotta go.
00:16It's got to go!
00:17Maybe one day I'll enjoy a good wooden plug.
00:20But until then, wham!
00:22Wham again!
00:23Okay, where were we?
00:24I'm gonna re-sculpt those corners with Bondo.
00:26Bondo is epoxy-based, so it's gonna be stronger than wood filler
00:29and better for larger repairs,
00:30especially on places like the corners that are most likely going to be bumped.
00:34And while we're getting the corners,
00:35might as well get all the holes that I created by taking off the wood plugs.
00:38Disclaimer, this stuff does stink, so gas mask is on.
00:40Safety first.
00:41These side tables were pretty shiny,
00:42so I first scuff-sanded with 150 grit and then went over with 220.
00:46There was a small amount of bubbling from water,
00:48so I sanded that smooth.
00:49I let the sander do the work.
00:50Just let it sit on top, running it gently back and forth.
00:54You don't want to push in here
00:55because you don't want to dig into the surrounding area.
00:57I first wiped them down with a microfiber rag
00:59and then went back over it with tack cloth.
01:01The Krusty Dustys love the corners,
01:02so tack cloth really helps with the tight spots.
01:05She's gonna sand it, her first round of filler is on,
01:07and she's ready for prime.
01:08Don't judge me for this.
01:09I know I need a work table,
01:10but we do not have the space for that right now.
01:11So moving blanket and painter's plastic will have to do.
01:14Please hold for a brief intermission while I try to get this drawer out.
01:16Do do do do do do do do do do do do.
01:22And 10 minutes later, we finally got it.
01:24Quick peek to see if my neighbor saw me do that.
01:27And back to business.
01:28I'm laying them upside down so I don't strain a neck muscle
01:30while I'm trying to get the lips and all the details.
01:32We're bringing out a new gallon of bin for this one.
01:35And yes, I did spill it everywhere.
01:37I don't want to talk about it.
01:37Moving on.
01:38I did two coats of primer standing in between coats,
01:41and then I wanted to add a little fun detail to the drawers.
01:43So I got this got piece of textured wallpaper
01:45that I found at a local craft store.
01:46It was only 50 cents.
01:47I said, why not?
01:48I cut out a template so we could just easily knock out
01:50all four strips that I needed.
01:51And you know Daddy-O's gotta help,
01:52so he's slicing it for me.
01:53I always prime before I lay down textured wallpaper,
01:56but just keep in mind,
01:57any layers will affect your measurements.
01:58So I just scraped the edges with a carbide scraper
02:00so that my design would lay flat inside of the trim.
02:02I brushed on my Roman wallpaper glue
02:04and then smoothed out the textured wallpaper
02:05to make sure there was no air bubble.
02:06Shout out to my Costco card.
02:07And here they are.
02:08I used a new paint, which was high-key expensive,
02:10but I'll give it to them.
02:10The color is beautiful.
02:11This is Restoration Bronze by Melange.
02:13I used the original hardware because of the bronze undertone.
02:15I think the wallpaper's classy.
02:16Let's take a closer look, shall we?
02:18They're giving...
02:18I'm introverted, but I can be social.
02:20Tell me what you think in the comments.
02:21I think I like them a lot.
