Owen sold the re-done pedestals for an impressive R1 400.

"My very first furniture-flipping project! Both bedside tables were particle board on the sides and had A LOT of water damage, but I managed to improvise and save it. They had beautiful solid wood on the top of them and in front, and after a few hours of sanding, the original wood grain came through. I used Tjhoko paint's matt black and an all-purpose primer to paint them, and in the end, they came out looking brand new again," he said.
