Curbside Dining Set Makeover (Veneer + Water Damage) | Painted Base + Faux Wood Top

Most furniture doesn’t get thrown away because it’s broken. It gets tossed because it’s inconvenient!

In this video, I rescue a curbside mission-style dining set made with veneer and particle board and give it a second life with a painted black base and a faux wood tabletop. The original finish, fake distressing, and water damage made re-staining risky, so I’ll walk you through how I assess the materials, repair the damage, and choose a finish that actually makes sense for this type of furniture.

You’ll see my full process from deep cleaning and repairs, to spraying durable furniture paint, to creating a convincing faux bois finish using layered brush techniques (including a step most people skip that makes a huge difference). If you’ve ever wondered whether veneer furniture is worth saving, this makeover is for you.
