CHECK OUT Make It With Mia's video HERE: youtu.be/VbXUwx4qHt8
In this video, I'm making three Dollar Tree DIYs based on modern trends in home decor. I'll teach you how to make faux cane webbing using a Dollar Tree rug mat, a DIY fluted wood planter, and a modern and minimal sculpture with a foam wreath form. All these projects look super expensive, but actually are so affordable to make! ✨
Today is the Make it Modern Challenge hosted by @Make it with Mia ! I'm so excited she asked me to be her cohost this month.

![THRIFT FLIP BENCH TRANSFORMATION: How to Re-Stain Wood Furniture Without Stripping + DIY Cushion
Were diving into my first furniture thrift flip on my channel. Were taking an ugly orange stained bench I thrifted for $30 and transforming it into a gorgeous mid-century modern piece.
In this tutorial Im testing two methods to re-stain or recolor wood furniture WITHOUT stripping. Im using both gel stain and Minwax PolyShades to achieve a beautiful wood finish.
After the re-staining tutorial, I also share how to sew a custom (and professional looking) bench cushion. It turns this thrifted dining table bench into comfortable and aesthetic-looking additional seating in my entryway/living room area. ✨
NOTE: These methods only work if you are making the wood piece a darker stain color from the original wood.
