- A great designer once said, "Always add something RED to every room." The power and energy of this most iconic of colors does not disappoint in this inspiring Parisian-style makeover! With Fusion Mineral Paint's gorgeous Fort York Red, contrasted with Dixie Belle's Blueberry in a Parisian floral stencil, come along with me as I repair and redesign an unwanted and broken mirror for my soon-to-launch daughter. A fantastic idea for an up-cycled gift, or a customized piece for your own home!

You are a story teller, an actress, a teacher and a furniture finisher. You are in a word, delightful!
Rosalie - you've made my day!! Thank you so much, so incredible to hear. ❤️😊
And an AR-TEEST!!!
That is a wonderful story of your brother-in-laws grandfather. That mirror is so pretty, red being my favorite color. What a great time for you to spend with you daughter.
Thanks so much, it was an honor to share that! So happy you enjoyed the red. 😊❤️
Andy! Just wanted to stop by and tell you that I am so impressed by how thoughtfully made your instructional videos are. I know how much time and effort it must take to produce and edit these incredible videos on top of sourcing, repurposing and completing your gorgeous, creative furniture projects. I love watching your videos and your incredible talents. I think you need your own show. I could just see it with you and your family and your darling home. Shoot for the stars and hope it's a fun, creative outlet for you if nothing else. You should be very proud of everything you've accomplished here on You Tube so far! 😍👏👏👏👏

Hello Andy. Love that red mirror. I wouldn’t have thought to add the blue either. The red is so…….🎄 🎄🎅Christmase……beautiful!
Thanks so much!! I agree - such a clear, true red, perfect for Christmas!
Wow!!! You have great interior design vision and execution. Love it. Great work.
Thank you very much!
Tres Jolie ! Tres chic as usual more inspiration , you should be in theatre as well !
Hooray! Thanks so much, Caroline - actually, I work in theater as a vocal director, and occasionally get to join the fun on stage as well! ❤️😊
Very nice Cheval Mirror. The red paint and bare wood with the blueberry paint stencil is so pretty. I have also heard there should be a 'RED Focal Point" in a room. Great job.
Oh thank you! 😊❤️
Thank you so much. Beautiful piece!
I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks Polly. 😊❤️
I love your videos. The time it takes to edit and produce them has to be a daunting task, but I know they are truly appreciated by all of us that follow you.
The mirror looked fabulous and the blueberry stenciling was something I would have never thought of.
Mary, thank you so much! Yes, it is a bit daunting, but I truly love doing it, and to read such a comment is so wonderful and encouraging. So happy you enjoyed the choices for the mirror!
I love those mirrors and they're always popping up on fb marketplace. One of these days I'll have space for one (after I declutter!) If I didn't keep it for myself I'd give it to my teenage daughter. Knowing her, skulls would have to appear on it somewhere in some format. We're about to make over her dresser and she picked out a fabulous poster to decoupage onto it from Society 6. It's called "Light in the dark" - best to direct you to it than have me try to describe it. Anything with skulls and she's "there for it". She's top of her class in woodworking and helps me out with any repairs that I need help with bless her. Love her to bits and looking forward to us working together on her dresser. Love your stories Andy. Stay fabulous.
Emer - thanks so much for sharing this, I love it! I looked up that art work you mentioned - that is absolutely incredible!! My daughter would love that too - your granddaughter has a real eye!! And can I just say, I think it is so fabulous she is top of her class in woodworking - what I wouldn't give to go back in time and do that! She sounds like an incredible young person. Absolutely loved getting to hear about her and that you are planning a dresser project together. Would love to see a picture when it's finished - if you are on Instagram, you can share it there! ❤️😊
@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy I'm adding you to my list of people to share it with. She's my daughter, no grandchildren here yet. I'm so proud of her with the woodworking too. When I was in the same school in the 80's I wanted to do woodworking. It was a choice between that and home economics (cooking, dressmaking) and I chose woodworking. I was shot down immediately because "you're a girl and girl's do home economics, boys do woodworking". I argued that I had learned to cook at home and continue to learn but neither the principal or the woodworking teacher were having any of it. Good to see that things have come a long way since then.
@@bluecurlygirl Oh, so sorry ! Not sure how I mis-read that. Wow - that's insane about your woodworking story. Grrrr! I was a competitive swimmer in high school (late '80's) and tried with a friend to form a girls water polo team, but was told "girls don't have enough upper body strength to play water polo". Now all three of my daughters play - I'm with you, glad things are changing for the better.
@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy It's crazy the double standards that existed then. In our town they had a men's canoeing race for many years. One year, they were short a challenger for the last race - it was 2 people went out each time. I put myself forward and the guy in the boat said "Please! I want some REAL competition. Women can't race canoes." "Fine," I replied "you'll be guaranteed a win so. Let's go". Needless to say I put my all into it and he was a full lap behind me when I crossed the finish line. He got some stick from the other men when he got back to the jetty!! It was very funny. "Sorry what was that you said? Women can't what? Well it looks like she left you for dust." He was livid!! Seeing as he was so angry about it, I saw him in the bar that night and said "I'd like to buy you a drink for being such a gracious loser." He grinned from ear to ear until I said "I'd LIKE to. But I'll not cos you weren't."
Beautifully done, both the mirror and the video. I love your introductions....so funny! Look forward to the next one! Stay safe, be well:)
Many many thanks - I truly appreciate hearing that! ❤️😊
I adore this! Beautiful work - bravo!
Thank you! Cheers!
Fabulous Andy, just fabulous dear...
I'd never thought of that motif. It's wonderful your daughter & you have like tastes. And teaching that art of repurposing furniture will be a talent she'll cherish.
Many thanks, Christi - that is such a lovely way of putting it! ❤️😊
So lovely, as always.
Thank you! 😊
Very romantic and whimsical! Now I have to do that too! I got the "red" fall color from Dixie Belle and couldn't decide what to do with it. Now I know. Great Job!
YES!! I'm sure that's a gorgeous shade. Thanks so much - and if you're on Instagram, I'd love to see what you do! ❤️😊
This turned out great. I love pops of red and this was a big red! Love watching you and learning. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much, Sarah! So glad you enjoyed. 😊
Lovely techniques!
Thanks!!
Your transformations are perfect endings to your creative stories. I feel like I just returned from Paris!! ❤💯
Wow, thank you! Such a wonderful thing to hear. 😊❤️
You are so incredibly talented. Your theatrics are AMAZING!! You should be in the movies! I laugh so hard at your alter ego’s!!!
WOW, and thank you so much!!!
You are brilliant ❣️❣️👏🏻👏🏻🎄🎄🤶🏻
Wow, thank you! Cheers! 😊❤️
Genius! I wouldn't have thought to create such a masterpiece - i'd have painted it white and maybe distressed it a little. I love how you think outside the box and then share your talent in the most delightful storytelling way! I love tuning in to Furniture Fables!!
Thank you so much, Carol - I really appreciate hearing that! So glad you are enjoying the fables. 😊❤️
That was a lovely mother and daughter collab! Want to see more when it is a good time for both of you!
Definitely!! Thanks so much Nilakshi!! 😊❤️
Gorgeous 😍
Thank you! Cheers!
Love your style girl😍👍
Yay! Thanks so much, Cheryl! 😊❤️
What a fun project to work on with your daughter and a wonderful nod to Veterans Day! I have boy's. My youngest son (33) and I have a great time bonding over oil changes and detailing of our cars. It's amazing how the generation gap can be bridge by a simple project.
Wow - so perfectly put. Thank you so much for sharing that!
I love the outcome! Phenomenal staging. Kitties belong under Christmas trees!
Indeed!! Thank you so much, Kay! 😻
Hello Andy! It is imperfectly perfect! 🥰
Yay! Thank you, Djuana!
This is delightful! Mirrors are such fun to play with. It is lovely to see your mother-daughter collaboration, too. Fabulous fable again!🌸
Thanks so much Deborah! This was a fun one for me. 😊❤️
Love it I have the same mirror, U LALA YES..
Ooooo...fantastic! Thanks so much Ana! ❤️😊
Wow! A fantastic departure from the ordinary! That is what I truly love the most about your videos, Andy. Every piece beautiful and magical! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Abigail - thank you!!! So incredibly lovely to hear. ❤️😊
Wow..i have never liked the colors red...but that fusion red is so vibrant almost like candy apple red or similar. Its gorgeous
Hooray! ❤️❤️❤️ Yes - they do colors very well.
le voilà Andy! Tres Chick! Merci!
Merci beaucoup, Lynn!! ❤️😊
It came out so beautifully and so happy that your daughter will be keeping it for her own! Maybe it will become a family heirloom. How many new stories will it hold secret within it's lifetime??? So much fun!
I hope so Peggy, thank you so much for putting that so perfectly! ❤️😊
As usual, a lovely outcome. I’m finally caught up on your videos - had missed the last 4 or 5 so I got to binge them. I love your ability to totally surprise me with your colors and techniques.
Thanks so much, I'm always honored to be "binged"! Such a nice thing to say - makes me happy to bring some surprise. 😊
Magnifique!!! :)
Merci beaucoup!! ❤️😊
@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy Rien de tout!
Fabulous presentation, as always! So enjoyable to watch your videos. Happy Thanksgiving.
Thanks so much, Karen! A very happy Thanksgiving to you!
I waited till my husband left for a few days to repaint and pull up very old wall to wall. I went from a faded lilac and white room. Yuck! to….RED and White. I sobbed. I shivered. I dreaded his look he would give me. It looked like a Rob Zombie movie. But I started it. Damn I would finish. Come hell or high water. When I put back the furniture and added my Tiffany Style lamps on the bed tables. It was stunning. I almost sat in the hallway all day admiring my work. My only regret was not purchasing a black/white/ red bed cover. And I haven’t been able to find it anywhere. But when hubby came home he was impressed.
WOW Evonne!! I absolutely love this story! Thank you so much for sharing - sometimes it's the strongest, scariest colors that create the most unique and breathtaking results! It sounds marvelous - and I can totally relate about all the emotions you felt going through it! Cheers to red! 😊❤️
It gave me the courage to paint my house Darkest gray. The windows in white with Black trim. Then the piece of resistance was a chartreuse front door. It stopped traffic and the best part was when the sun goes down the house “disappears” and the tiny white windows seem to float in the air. People have stopped to look over my fence thinking I tore the house down. I won’t do that it’s almost 100
So creative, you are! ❤️💙
Thank you! 😊
Très joli 😍 bravo 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Merci!!❤️😊
I'm a new subscriber, started binge watching several of your fun and beautiful videos, you are a delight!!!!!
Wow, thank you so much Toni and thanks for subbing! 😊❤️
Was hesitant in the very beginning, but am so happy with the result! I’m sure your daughter will enjoy it for years, even if she does change some of it one day. That’s the beauty of chalk mineral painting furniture!
Absolutely! So happy you ended up liking the result! It was definitely a project that evolved as we went. ❤️😊
Oh, that lipstick red! Stunning! And the blueberry touches look as though little blueberry fairies added their delicate touches to put a French stamp on your mirror! You have such a great imagination and eye for detail! As always, I so enjoy your posts from start to finish. Please consider using more red!
Oh wow Tess...I LOVE THIS!!! Thank you so much - what a fantastic description. I think maybe you need to start a channel too!!! So happy you loved the red...I have to say, I'd love to use it again! ❤️😊
A beautiful piece and I adore your beautiful cat from South Africa
Aw, thanks very much Gail!
you should try pixie spray to your stencil, works great to hold in place especially curves.
Oo, I've wanted to try that Winnie! Thanks so much for the great tip!!
