- I found these mismatched French Provincial coffee tables out for trash a few weeks ago and I thought I could turn them into a great matching set. My makeover definitely didn’t go as smoothly as I’d planned though. Watch along to see what happened!

French provisional furniture is not my thing. I kinda really dislike them. But this looks soo good! I love the grey and the wood top looks amazing! I was a bit shocked when you put the grey stain on, but when you wiped it of, it became perfect. Absolutely gorgeous. I love these trash find remakes because it really show how beutiful things can get with a bit of love and elbow grease. We need to stop this craziness of just throwing away good stuff as soon as they're not perfect anymore. And you are a great inspiration. Love your videos!
These French Provincial Tables look absolutely stunning!! I would love to have them in my house!!! You do such amazing work!! ❤❤❤
I like that you also show us your attempts and nearly fails. Bravo!
Don't know why but a new video by you feels like a piece of chocolate. They make me so happy. There's something incredibly satisfying in watching you work.
They are all gorgeous. The black wax and the diluted stain create beautiful depth. These were a struggle and I agree with each change you made. This is a real “trust the process” situation. I think if you throw a drop cloth over them, wait 48 hours and then look at them, you may see how beautiful they are. Or not. The colors are different from what you most often choose. I think they’re very elegant and sophisticated.🌸
Finding things in the garbage gives one the opportunity to experiment and try new things. These turned out beautiful and someone will be thrilled to get them.
Wow, the struggle was real on these pieces! They turned out great as usual. Thanks for taking us along with you and your struggles with these, I think we can all identify with you. 😫😅🤗😍
Wow!!!! As stand alones just wow!
As for being your style, you already know? Would different color make them your style? I, who like light/natural, think these 3 are amazing. The curves make them visually eye catching/interesting to look at. And sooooo glad they get more life.
Your attention to detail is what really stands you apart from so many other furniture flippers here on CZcams! I would trust your products completely ❤
Love the stained wood on the coffee table. Wish you could have made the end tables match. You did a great job with what you had.
The coffee table came out very well. I'm so glad you went grey instead of green. Those of us old enough to remember the '70s never want to see green furniture again.
Well, to me, it depends on the shade of green…..
Wow that walnut top turned out looking amazing! You have great instincts to be able to get that result from a “mistake” 🤩
The coffee table is gorgeous! The dark gray legs & apron bring out the depth of the wood top.
Even when ... it's telling that your experience and "pour-on-able" experiments led to beauty. They are something. The style, colors, and contrasting top really work well for me. Thanks Katie.
The solid wood is a treasure! Love when you can find that in a thrift store or on a curb and turn it into something awesome. 💝 Better than ready to assemble new imo
They will be a blessing to someone if you are still donating pieces.
I really like these Katie. The Grey is rich looking and the top finish ended up giving it just the dimension it needed from the bottom. I love that you share your thought processes with us and questioning of your choices.
I guess I’m one of those weirdos who is a die hard French provincial fan. I love them forever. They remind me of my mema. ❤️
These tables turned out well…nicely done! Love the color, esp the top! It’s funny how our frustrations can turn into triumphs!😊
What a journey to end up with a beautiful set! The wax really made a difference. And I loved the "questioning all my life choices" comment! Your sense of humor is terrific!
Seems like wise owl 1 hour might be a bit limited in color selection.
I found it funny too Katie! Sometimes that one little thing makes us rethink everything 😊
@@kathyg1117 It's such a pity, I live in the UK and those tables would have been perfect for me, I absolutely love the way you saved the table top and the black wax was a perfect highlight for the grey, but then I love every piece you do!
I think you gave them new life. It’s hard to love them though when your style is different. The would really suit a traditional setting. All in all, good project😊
I wanna live where there are so many bulk pick up days! You always find those pieces that need a hug.
I see your struggle with the tables and the gray paint. The workmanship is Kate Scott wonderful. The struggle could be the gray is "masculine"/"industrial" cool color. In contrast with the "famine"/"Granny-Sheek" scalloped edges. Because they are gray, the tables will find a new home quickly.
😊
Hi Katie, you really have the midas touch. The tables turned out beautifully despite your doubts. Someone is going to love them. GALE X
Even though your project didn't go the way you wanted it to, it turned out to be really attractive. You achieved the quiet sophistication that you wanted. 🙂 Also, I love the idea of using an old sock over a glove to apply the sealant. How simple, but incredibly effective. Well done, Katie. 😀
I'd call it "refreshed formal".... they look good! Someone will enjoy them for years to come.
They are lovely together. I empathize with the shock of opaque stain, but you knew precisely what to do. There is a moment in many of your videos where I cheer as you start with a coat of shellac to make the next step reversible. This is reason enough for that step.
The end tables needed the same top as the coffee table. French Provincial?? Somebody loves it!
The end tables were laminate (plastic) so those tops couldn’t be refinished the same way as the coffee table 😉❤️
What a series of happy accidents. They turned out beautiful.
Another trio of pieces saved from the landfill. The grey looks great.
I love the large coffee table. I love restoring these and showing some of the beautiful wood usually hidden by yucky varnish.
I’m a huge fan of French provincial and these turned out to be gorgeous. Thanks for sharing how you felt. Sometimes we have to walk away and then continue our journey. Beautiful!
I have similar FP side tables. I did them in black and white with gold leafing. I love what you did with these. I never thought about wiping back the gel stain with mineral spirits when the pigment is too much. I'll definitely keep that trick in my back pocket for future "oh, no" moments.
Very sophisticated pieces to go in a large minimalistic interior!
Mother of pearl, these are gorgeous, Katie! 😍☺ Just channel some inner Bob Ross and think of them as 'happy little accidents.' 😄They are an entirely beautiful set. I have no doubt that they will find a home with someone who will adore them! Continued best wishes from a binge-watching fellow Canadian.
I think these tables turned out absolutely beautiful! They are not my favorite style but I greatly appreciate their beauty. You did a wonderful job.
I absolutely love how the walnut too turned out! I’m with you on not loving the grey color. If it had been much more blue tinted like the swatch seemed to show, I think that would’ve been perfect and much more appealing to more people! I think it would’ve been very hard to match the wood on all pieces but I feel like the set would’ve looked much better if you had maybe got some new walnut laminate sheets for the end tables too. Even if the finished didn’t match exactly, I think they would’ve looked a bit better. But I love. Love, love everything you do and love how thorough you are!!! Anyone who buys one of your pieces can expect a professionally painted or stained piece with many years of enjoyment!!! ❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕
As soon as I seen the wood, I'm like awe this is going to look beautiful, I have no preference as to what type of furniture it is, I just love watching you work your magic on it😁
The wood top turned out great! I love this Happy accident. Simple and elegant, in the right room they will make a statement!
First of all, I'd be a little mad that the swatches didn't match the actual paint. I'm sure it wasn't cheap. Second of all, they turned out gorgeous!! The gray, I think, did the French Provincial coffee table more than justice, beautiful!! I'm not sure how I feel about the full coverage on the side tables but I understand if they needed to be that way. The set looks like new pieces and will go well in someone's livingroom.
I also overthink things. I don’t start until I know exactly what I’m going to do. Then, if the reality doesn’t live up to my vision. You did the perfect thing by taking a time out. You weren’t happy with the color from the beginning so you did more work and it still wasn’t right. Taking some time out let you see just how sophisticated and elegant these could look. They are gorgeous and could work either in a traditional or a more modern decor. Great job!
Love the way the tables turned out, Katie. The top of the coffee table turned out beautifully. Very nice. 🙏🏻
The finishes are awesome. They may not be your style but you’ve done a beautiful job.
Maybe this isn't what you wanted, but it's what the tables wanted to be. They're absolutely gorgeous - very sophisticated and expensive looking. I gasped at the gray stain on the top, but it all worked out well when you got enough of it rubbed off. The finishing wax added perfect dimension to the tables. Love them - great job!
When you were wiping down the last time I said out loud that's beautiful! I'm so happy you embraced it!
Yes! Thank you!
As a refinisher myself, I'm totally with you in this. A darker color would have suited better, BUT I do love how they turned out! The black wax was a great call, to richen up the color. I love them!
I love them. The colors give a modern flair to traditional furniture.
Wow, wow, wow!!! I’m so impressed with the final look of all three pieces! Also, I want to commend you on your perseverance; and the top of that coffee table is gorgeous!! Keep up the fantastic work!
Looks great. You really worked hard to get a satisfactory result.I think you just worked so long on it, that you can't see it anymore. It's a great job and really well described.
Thank you for showing us how you turned product that didn't come out how you planned, into beauty. Your so smart to walk away and rethink. That is the secret to problem solving. I don't do grays in my house and I like the flow of French Provencal. The wax really helped accentuate the curves. Good choice.
The French Provincial tables now look wonderful....fresh and classy. Perfect in a country french deco house
You always do a great job on your pieces. I thought the grey stain over the walnut was a disaster, but after wiping it off and drying it, it was beautiful. The black wax was a perfect addition. I enjoy your channel. Thank you.
I actually really like them as a set. They go well together, that shade of grey seems to be very on trend at the moment, and someone is going to LOVE having them. It's going to bring their entire living room together perfectly!
Hello from toledo ohio!! Katie i have been watching you for years.... your the cutest. and love all your furniture..
I love that coffee table absolutely love it. It’s a shame that you couldn’t do that same treatment on the top of the side tables but that coffee table is just luxurious.
I appreciate how you let the furniture speak to you. Great judgement calls and redirection
I love this kind of furnitures! I am French, living in France 🇫🇷 and those make overs are gorgeous! I love the wood top, I think for little tables you should have done the same than the coffee table! But those cookies are beautiful! I really enjoy your work 🎉🎉🎉
I think they are fabulous! They would look fantastic with a very squared off mid-century modern Davenport in dark aged leather or even a tufted chesterfield in smoke grey velvet! Love how bespoke they are!
Those beautifully finished tables would fit nicely in someone's Dark Academia esthetic. I see many designers phasing out of light and airy boho or Skandi, going for a more moody feel. Definitely a market for these out there.
They turned out really good I think! Also with the way you styled them at the end; I could really picture them at someone’s house and it is just a great set!
I'm not into French Provincial furniture but that walnut top turned out so beautiful! I was like you when seeing the stain on top. I thought 'what has she done?' But the mineral spirits worked so well to take it back off and just leave a hint of grey. They all look very pretty now. I liked the gray color of the paint on the bottoms.
Well done the coffee table is amazing the wood top is perfect …i prefer that 😊
Wow, They accidently turnied out beautiful! Great Job! Cathleen
I think these look great, Katie! The color will fit into a modern interior design that is wanting a bit of a traditional touch. Wasn't crazy about the gray when you started, but the wax balanced it out and really made it work. And the top mellowed out nicely! As always, a fantastic job and a nice save from good pieces having to go to the landfill. 👍🏽
These turned out so beautiful!!! While I'm not a French provincial fan, these are perfect!
These are beautiful! I love he way the walnut top turned out, a happy ending. The black wax was the key to finish it all off and it looks fantastic.
My Mom decorated our entire formal living room/dining room w/French Provincial back in the mid 60’s. It was nice but after the modern mid-century took over, I no longer liked it….keep in mind, I grew up in the 60’s/70’s so the Brady Bunch/Partridge Family decor was all the rage then. Now…the revival of all old things new….Every single piece you’ve breathe new life back into since I’ve subscribed to your channel has been a WINNER. You then put so much time, care and effort into revitalizing something not so nice into something so beautiful, it’s amazing! True talent you have and a great eye for beauty, most people would never even notice these pieces in a thrift store, estate sale or see the trash tossed out as being a hidden treasure once you’ve rescued it. That’s your gift.
Great job!! Love those happy accidents.
The table top is stunning! ❤️ It coordinates perfectly with the grey!
I have this type of furniture in my home since 1958 and in excellent condition . I have the exact coffee table which this is the same design except it is white marble with greenish blue veins .
Turned out amazing! Black wax for the WIN! 🏆
Katie, the tables are gorgeous! I luv French Provincial because it blends well with cozy cottage style. Your color choices elevated this set to a clean modern look. I would use these with mid century to add a touch of elegance and charm ❤.
Thanks so much! 😊
Katie, this situation is what everyone dreads, for sure. After your decision to put a Gray Gel Stain, then rub off what ever you could turned out to my liking! My only suggestion is all three tables should have had their tops all match to
the coffee table. That’s my opinion, of course! Hey, you handled this, as well as, can be expected.
I really enjoy your refurbishing videos, Katie❣️

Absolutely gorgeous! I can totally relate...I started a French Provincial bedroom suite a couple of weeks ago and what a disaster! I wanted a "pearlized Champagne" color and found a metallic color that I thought would work. I hadn't use this paint before and well, it did turn out as planned. So it is sitting in the garage until I get enough courage to finish it! Bravo Katie, for great follow-through, even when your vision didn't turn out exactly as you wanted. Someone is going to LOVE that set!!!!
Maybe it wasn't your plan but these are gorgeous!! Someone is going to be jumping for joy to buy these!!
They turned out beautifully! I felt your panic there for a bit, but knew you would sort it all out. ☺️
I love them 💕👍🏻🇬🇧
You always make things look beautiful! Also....Sock over the glove is BRILLIANT!!!!!
I think black would’ve been a safer choice but I really like the end result you had. The wax really made a difference. Good job. Next time, go with black.
That was great. You got a pair of end tables to match your coffee table.
I'm glad that table top finish worked out. Great transformation on pieces headed to the landfill!
You're being way to hard on yourself! They are beautiful!!! Not my style either but I can appreciate the fabulous job you did to bring these back to life!!
LOTS OF WORK BUT AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL JOB I LOVE 💞 THEM.GOD BLESS YOUR JOB SAVED FROM THE LANDFILLS.
wowza you turned lemons into lemonade. they look fabulous. Love how you stick to it when you have gone off course
What a project! It was a good tutorial on what to do when things don’t look quite like you want. It turned out so beautiful.
I totally understand your apprehension and frustration, but I think everything turned out beautifully. Don't over-think it. They look fantastic. Also, loved the dark detail wax. Great job as always.
Thank you 😘
Love the way they look. I am sure whoever gets the set will enjoy them.
I think the tables look amazing! All the different techniques that you used turned out gorgeous. Someone will scoop those up.
That really came out nice. I like the contrast and based on the lighting it almost looks like old iron works
I was right with you on these…then when the maple dried, I was talking to my laptop saying, “antique them with black wax!” 😂 I’m glad you heard me! I think they turned out lovely.
When you did the green first, I really thought it would be a lot darker too. Based on the swatch card you showed, but it was no where near the color on the card. Love the Grey. Also love the stain....with the mineral spirit bath😅😅. It truly brought the set together beautifully. 😊😊❤
Love Wise Owl! I’ve sprayed several of their colors and did not dilute them, it’s not recommended as I recall. Oddly enough, I found their dark colors to be thinner and sprayed much easier. I struggled with the lighter colors and avoided them because I couldn’t thin and don’t have a lot of options on my spray gun.
These really turned out well! I know that sinking feeling when you spray a color and it’s not what you envisioned. That top on the coffee table! Stunning! I groaned when I saw you reach for the gray stain, but wow! The end result is beautiful!
Oh, thank you so much for sharing that. I didn’t pick up any of their lighter colours but I’ll definitely remember that if I do!
Love the coffee table, especially the top and the wax you added. I wish the end tables had the same top. Great job!
I think they're beautiful. The black wax gave them a depth they didn't have before. Btw the picture of you that came in on my feed looking happy and really pleased with your "finds" reminds me of when I go to an estate sale and find more "stuff" for my collection.
Your perseverance always pays off, Katie. Thanks for sharing your angst! Beautiful on all pieces.
I love that you show your process and both your wins and mistakes and how we can learn from them. You are awesome!
You modernized these and they are gorgeous! You are so talented and the wood stain fix is beautiful. I so wish you lived closer! Cuz I'm a newbie
Nice end result Katie! I could feel your panic. I'm glad everything worked out😊
I agree, the end tables still look sort of flat to me. But the wood-topped table came out surprisingly lovely. It’s not my style, but I still find it beautiful. Glad you walked away when you did and found the pleasant surprise in the morning.
Love! I think they turned out great. I especially love the coffee table with the gorgeous wood top. 😊
From perceived disaster, to stunning 🎉 I'd do the end tables top the same as the coffee table. I love that look. ❤❤
Unfortunately, you can’t do that with a laminate surface but if they were real wood like the coffee table that definitely would have my route.
Oh my goodness I love them! I know they are not what you planned on, but they are gorgeous. They would be a definite keeper for me!
