I'm so glad that you never felt any 'pier' pressure! lol
😂 Good one!! 😂🦆
This video is just another way in which you separate yourself from the pack of furniture refinishers out there. Practical, approachable and informative. Great job!
Wow, thank you Meg! Such a lovely thing to hear, really appreciate your feedback!
Andy, you never disappoint!
Many many thanks Tanya!! 😊
I love everyone of your flips! Awesome job!
Thank you so much, Jan!!
Enjoyed meeting your sister and her storybook setting abode. Lovely small treasures --- delightful episode!!
Hooray, I'm so glad you enjoyed, Bettina! That was super fun for me to do that with her. Special times. 😊🦆
So much fun and tons of great advice. Loved the martini shaking!😊. Thanks so much for your amazingly creative videos. 🙏
😂🍸 You are so welcome, and thank YOU for watching and such a fun comment!
I find myself smiling while watching your videos 😊
Such a lovely thing to hear - thank you! 😊
You’ve inspired me to makeover my jewelry box/cabinet rather than get a new one. 😌✨🙌🏻
Oh wow Alecia, that's so cool! Thanks so much! 😊
Someone commented about your narrator voice, and I agree! You would be so fun to listen to on Audible. Your voice has so much emotion, is clear and easy on the ears! I just had to repeat the comment to encourage you!!
Wow, thank you so much! I've studying classical voice for most of my life - I'm wondering if that has something to do with it. So lovely to hear!
I agree 100%. 🥰🥰🥰
I have been doing little projects all along not realizing I was practicing! Lol. Thank you. Btw. When I was little. Like a toddler little. My mom took me to the zoo. I remember hanging onto the chain link fence, I could not reach the top. A goose came up to the fence and bit my nose!
Oh my goodness - geeeeeese!! Such villains. 😂🦆 So sorry that happened! So glad you enjoyed the mini fable!
I enjoyed you working with your sister on that cute little table. It turned out so well. Love your sense of humor.
Thank you so much! We certainly had fun. 😂
Glad to have you back, Andy! As I only found your videos a month or so ago, is it too soon to say I love you? Cause I love you. Your soothing voice, your sense of humor, the reality of the creative process-you make it simultaneously magical and accessible. Thank you for all the work you put in to create and post these videos. We are ever so grateful that you share your skill and level of taste with us! ❤️
No, it's not too early! When you know, you just know, right?? 😂
Seriously, thank you so very much Melani, for your sweet, kind comment...such a joy to read! I love this work so much and so it's amazing feel it appreciated and enjoyed. 🌿
Having you completely fix my ugly little table was amazing!! Thank you!!! ♥️♥️♥️ (The geese say hi!)
YAY!!! Best time ever. Tell the geese thank you for me - they are extremely photogenic. 😊🦆
Their agent will call your agent 😂
@@scibleimp 😂😂😂
The view on the lake was so soothing and relaxing...I have a coat rack similar to the one you painted and I almost donated it. It is from the 40's and very dark. I think I will work on it! Thanks so much for the inspiration.
Oh wow, I'm so glad! Thanks so much for sharing!
Is this not the most refreshing furniture flipping channel??? You are delightful to listen to and deliver your instructions with humor and detail. Since I just discovered you today it looks like a binge watching sort of day. Keep those fables coming. 😀
Thank you so much Judy, I'm so happy you found me! (and always an honor to hear I'm "binge-worthy") 😊
Andy, your videos are the best. I have a furniture piece I want to upcycle. Watching and listening to you is making me more confident. I have learned it's only paint and it can be fixed. I need to know when to sand and not to sand. I appreciate you and love your book of the week club. The little table is so much better now and I kinda liked the little wheat on the corners of the box. Have a great week and see you on the flip flop. Karen Carolina Girl
Oh Karen, that makes me so happy to hear!! Yes - only paint. 😊 Thank you so much for watching, and for your sweet comment. If you're on Instagram, send me a pic of your piece you want to do once it's finished, I'd love to see it!
Thank you so much for this! I am thinking of diving in but didnt realize the impact of the tiny furniture and how it can transform a room! Love your videos!
Thanks Raylene, so glad it was helpful! Yes, they for sure can pack a big and important punch and are so great for learning on. Whenever you choose to dive in, I'll be rooting for you!
Thanks for showing a novice how to start small.
My pleasure! Thank you for watching. 😊
You really were right to be watchful of the geese.....they can turn on a dime, after they have fooled you into believing that they're all cute....especially those fluffy babies....WHEW I'm glad you made it out!
Well said! 😂🦆
Now look what you’ve done…inspired me to use the upcoming winter months to work indoors on mini projects!! Oh my!! Keep the videos coming, Andy! I’m enjoying them SO much!
Hooray, Caralee!! I think you are a genius - winter months are a fabulous time to work on those mini ones. Will-do on the videos, and thanks so much!
Hi Andy, loved these three projects, you and your sister look like you have a lot of fun together ,that's lovely to see, I have the used the mineral paint by fusion and yes it's really really l lovely paint to use and the colours are in so many shades and they just brought another two colours out not long ago, thanks for sharing I looking forwards to the next furniture fable, take care all the best Mary in Australia 🌻
Thanks so much, Mary - so glad you enjoyed the three mini projects! Yes, we always have the best time together. Thanks so much for watching! 😊
I’ve consumed all your videos and you’ve left me yearning for more. So, step it up. We need more. Don’t keep us waiting too long.
Thank you and more to come!
These were such fun!
Thank you Linda! 😊
Andy, your videos are so refreshing!!! I have truly enjoyed everyone of them!! Looking forwards to the "other side of the spectrum".... can't wait!!!
Awesome, thank you, Ana! Can't wait to bring it!! 😊
Love it!! Im making a stab at painting some old terrible cabinets in my work shop. I now want to dress them up and give them some life. I must shop for more supplies!
Hooray, go for it Mary Anne! I'm still always blown away at what a difference just a little design effort makes. 😊
Saturday...Saturday...Woohoo!!! Can hardly wait to to learn some "flipping" skills, Andy.
"flippin'" skill buildin'! 😉
Also I LOVE the little box and am super jealous of your gorgeous coat rack!!!
Aw, thank you! I'll make you a coatrack any time you want one. (you did dog-sit for me after-all) 😂😉
thank you for always sharing.... i love your bead necklace
Thanks Regina! Found that while out shopping with sis. 😊😉
Love the little box the most, so creative and cheerful. And it's a perfect place to store those coasters actually. All great tips!
Thanks so much! 😊
Love the furniture model 😻
Isn't she gorgeous?? SO photogenic. 😻
I love how you try things and erase them if you don't like it.
Thanks Caroline, I appreciate that. For sure, a huge part of this work is letting yourself try new things out without fear of deciding to change it up. 😊
Very creative use of your sister’s ancient wall paper. This approach allows folks to blend an item with their existing color scheme. Thanks for the tip!
Thank you so much! Yes, whenever possible, working with what we already have on hand is great...that paper was so pretty, it was like it was meant for that little table. 😊
yes girl yessss
Thank youuuuu Crys'Dawna!!!
You need to read books for Audible! You have the best voice!
We had a “pet” goose growing up and he was MEAN! He would chase us and tackled my cousin! He bit a neighbor too. When people came to our house, the goose wouldn’t let people out of their cars🤣. When he started roaming the neighborhood my mom and dad sent him to our friends farm.
Oh wow, thank you for sharing that!! 🦆 I KNEW there were other folks out there like me who know about the villainy of geese!! 😂 And thanks so much - what a nice thing to hear about my voice. 😊
I’ve heard that geese make very good guard dogs 🦆🐶
Agree!!!!!!!
Love it, and working with your sister!
Hooray, thanks so much!! Was SO much fun. 😊
The little box is my favorite ! Of course I enjoyed seeing you share your skills, inspiration that I need to take the plunge. Making memories with your sister was so special !
Thanks so much Patrica, yes - such a special and fun thing to do together. And yes, you can do it too!! 😊
Yup, you're adorable... As are your small creations. ☺️
Too kind, Jennifer - thank you so much! 😊
So much fun---you make it seem doable! Thanks for the smiles!
You are so welcome! Thanks so much for watching! 😊
I'm not jealous of your sister's lake or cute "blood hungry" geese either. What a great trip fun projects!
😂🦆 Right?? Yes - so much fun. Thanks for watching!!
Love love love! Thank you Andy!
You are so welcome! Thank you Jana!!
Your new video and a cup of coffee made my Sunday morning. ❤️❤️
As usual, I loved it
Oh hooray!! Such a lovely image - thank you so much for sharing!
The hall tree is fabulous. The little Moroccan table and trinket box turned out great. Although I'm concerned about the algae in your sister's pond.😃
Thanks Vicki! Not algae, that's duck weed! Those geese need to get out there and thin it out some. 😂🌿
@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy HAHA Sorry about that, but yes those ducks need to get busy. 😃🦆🦆🦆
@@vickinoeske1154 Yes they do! 😂
The little box is a gem! I love the idea of small projects - they seem possible instead of just fantasy. Am thinking a painted box on a table in the entryway might be a good place for keys.
Hey, every week you’re up another thousand or more subscribers!
That's a great idea! So many uses for those little boxes, and very "doable". Yes, thanks so much - the growth seems like it's at a great rate. 😊
I made a mini jewelry box while at my beloved grandma's house the summer after 7th grade... you've inspired me to prepare for my big project, 44 years later 😅
Wow, that is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing that, and best of luck!!
I loved watching these projects! They feel very accessible. Also-- Madhur Jaffrey's cookbook is in my collection, too!
Hooray, thanks Marti, that's great to hear! (And so cool re Madhur Jaffrey's cookbook! ) 😊
This was a great video. I love your voice and appreciate all the tips. Adding more hooks to the hall tree, brilliant!
Thank you my friend!! 😊
Some very nice flips, pleasant to watch. As for me, I know what my answer is almost all the time, No Distressing, but that's just me, lol.
Thanks! Yes - for many, I think the answer is the same as yours! Meg had another little table in that room that had some distressing, and so we figured a touch of it would allow them to "marry" together better. 😊
My favorite was the wee table... Loved the wallpaper accent!
Yay! Thank you!
Love your videos Andy! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Stef, will do! 😊
I as on my way to work one rainy morning when right outside my building, a man was cleaning out a millinery shop that he planned to make into a 7-11 type mini market. You can’t be,I eve all the wonderful little wooden boxes & display cases on the curb. I asked him if they were rubbish & he happily told me to take what ever I wanted. Needless to say I was late to work but I got such nice pieces. A sweet box that held embroidery threads is now my jewellery box. I only needed to sand & re-stain & wax it. But there are several other glass front display cases that I’m going to drag out and paint. I like wood so much & never got into painting wood furniture but perhaps doing a few small projects will get me out of my rut.
Loved this video & the others I’ve watched. Just subscribed so need to catch up on more of them. As someone else commented, your voice & personality are so pleasant. 🥰🥰 Be well.
Wow, what a great story - thank you for sharing!! Those little boxes are such great pieces to practice on, and so many uses - sounds like you lucked out! I'm so glad you're enjoying the fables, thanks so much for subbing!
Loved the rice paper addition to the small table. I would have done a small border stencil on the top of the table to match the rice paper, maybe in cherry red. Enjoy watching your videos. I'm not a furniture flipper but it still relaxes and entertains me to watch your channel!
Oooo neat ideas!! Maybe you should be? 😊 So glad you are enjoying, and thanks so much for watching!
Ohhh, look at your cute kitty!
@@beebuzz959 She's my sister's! Isn't she adorable? 😻
@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy Absolutely! But aren't they all? 👍
I've so enjoyed this video.. What it is that "shes her self" you can tell. Loved your sweet authentic sence of humer and flips of course 😁❤ go sisters 💕
Thank you so much, Maha!! Such a kind comment. And go sisters!! 😊
Your videos are always creative, informative and entertaining. Thank you!
So nice of you, thank you Rosalie! 🌿
Thank you for another great video! You are always so entertaining and informative. Can’t wait till next week to see you again!!!
Thanks so much!
To much fun, your just like me and my sister 💋❤️
Aw, that makes me so happy to hear! Thanks so much. 😊
My compliments to your director, producer, writer and above all your sound engineer. Really! Aside from your great craftsmanship, you have the best video production value on CZcams. Thank you
Thanks again! It's quite literally a one-woman-show!
The little table came out beautiful! Love the paper and gilding. The coat rack also beautiful.
Thanks so much, Pamela!
You have such a beautiful voice ! I also love your furniture make overs too !!! [
Greeting from Australia .
Thank you so much! So nice to hear - and big wave hi back from California!
I came upon Furniture Fables for the first time today. I'm in awe of your talent and expertise. Love your witty humor! Count me in as a new subscriber:) Patty from Georgia.
I'm so glad you found me, Patty! Thank you so much, and welcome aboard! 😊
As always I enjoyed watching your video. It gives me some flipping ideas
I'm so glad! Thanks Martine!
Love that necklace! 😊🥰🥰
Thank you! 😊
Love the coat rack! Beautiful. The little table turned out great too. Loved little box....just not my colors. But you showed us some techniques to use and play around with. Love your videos.
Thanks so much, Sarah!!
You need a Netflix series!!
Thank you, that would be interesting! 😊😉
Love your videos, and you are so correct I need to start small to gain the skill.
Thank you
Thank you so much for watching - you can do it! The small ones are so great. 😊
Yes, love the green!
Yay, thanks Tammy!
I loved the little table the most
Cool!
Thank you. X lovely video.
Thanks Karon!
I always love your videos - thanks!
So glad you like them, thanks so much! 😊
So fun watching you have a blast with your sister!
So many lessons to learn! Thanks for another lovely video❤
Thank you so much 🤗
Love this video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
You are so welcome! Thank so much for your kind comment, Maxine! 😊
This is such a fantastic video and so inspiring! Sister days are awesome, too. My sister is the artistic creative one but you make me believe that maybe I can be, too!
Thank you so much! Yes for sure - we all have the capacity to be creative...just need the time and space to try. 😊
love your geese pics! and yeah, great painting, narration super nice!
Thank you very much! 😊🦆
Love these little pieces today! I’ve been thinking about all the “small” projects I have waiting for me and I think it will be really good to switch it up and do something small. After I finish the table I’m working on, of course! 🌸
Oh wow Deborah - yes, I would enjoy switching to a small project after a table for sure! So glad you enjoyed the little guys, thanks so much!
I had the same thought. I usually have several projects going at the same time because I get bored. Mixing in a few quickie projects while working on a large one helps with the boredom. Love the shape of the little table but not so much the heavy gilding. Sorry sistra-friend! 😔🥰🥰
OMG you make me laugh. Very entertaining and great beginner project....
Yay!! Thanks so much Rachel!! 😊
Geese can attack. I’ve gotten serious black and blue marks on my calves from my grandmothers geese. Of course we were gathering eggs for breakfast. They ended up treeing us and our screams brought my grandmother out with her flyswatter to rescue us.
Oh dear Diana, so scary!! I've long had a mild goose-phobia that my fam loves to tease me about...in all honesty my sister's geese are so sweet and adorable. 😂
Hello Diana 👋 nice meeting you here!!!
love
Thanks Kimberly!
Very nice!
Bonus: ❤️ the Skipperkee!
Thanks! 😀 Yes, he is the absolute cutest ever! 😊❤️
Cute.. what an amazing place your sister has.. great idea doing it together..
Darn!..when you held up that little doll dressing table, I got excited because I started painting miniature doll house furniture. Some new and some makeover old pieces. I am really starting small.
Oh sorry! And what a great idea!
Such cute video! I loved it😍🤓💐
Thank you so much Lorraine, glad you enjoyed! 🤗
Love you videos, so much fun!
Yay! Thank you, Veronica!
I use the white magic sponges on everything. I do rinse off with water afterwards. Great video again! Thank you!
Great tip! Thanks so much. 😊
lovely video. And i think i found the colour palette for my retirement condo in Vancouver in your beaded necklace, thankyou!! Those ducks are adorable, too. so this must be the Mother Goose-level flipping video. A+ from me ;-)
Hooray!! Thank you so much Sara, and LOVE the Mother-Goose reference...😂🦆 Also, so happy I could inspire your condo color palette! Of course, I found that bauble shopping with my sister...😊😉
Dear Andy, missing your creative and enjoyable Furniture Fables
and your sunny face!
My heart goes out to you 💔 with the loss of your sister. Just recently my mother and oldest and dearest friend passed away. It is hard at times but ---- I know this sounds cliche --- I find comfort in the past memories but most important, a deep feeling of gratitude for the profound influence they provided in my life.
I dearly hope you and your family will find peace and comfort. ❤
Looking forward to your return 😀
Thank you so much for sharing this Bettina, I truly appreciate it. It was definitely the right decision to step away for a bit, but I am happy to say that I am back at work, and finding that peace and comfort you spoke of. I am so sorry for your incredible loss, and again, thank you for sharing your wise and encouraging words. Looking forward to next Saturday, and bringing back some fun fables. 😊🙏
Anne of green gables comes to my mind!
Oh wow - yes indeed! 😊
Enjoying after a day at work :)
Wonderful! Different time zone, or working nights?
@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy day shift as a physiotherapist (physical therapist) in uk , paint brush in my hand by night 😃
@@carolinemoore2489 WOW!
Great tips.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks.
You're welcome! 😊
The little table looks great after it’s makeover. If it had been more wobbly - another idea would be to add three small chunky legs to the table top ie in every third angle
Comment continued on every third angle and flip it over to put a pot plant or candle in the middle of the legs. Ie new use.
Wow, Genevieve - neat idea!
These geese are cute. The geese at Happy Rolf's Bird Sanctuary were militant. They literally formed a phalanx with a white goose almost my height leading the march over a hill toward me. I couldn't shake those honkers, they were relentless. Love the necklace BTW, looks like amazonite. (If you didn't design it, you'd probably love jewelry making.) The little projects are like jewels, love them all and the project at your sister's house was extra beautiful down by the pond ❤️
So funny how many folks have geese stories! So happy to hear you enjoyed these mini makeovers, especially the little table by the pond. 😊❤️🙏
All 3 are beautiful 😍
Yay, many thanks!! 🧡🧡🧡
Great episode! I like your outtakes at the end - and especially loved that little table. BUT don't let your guard down around geese. Dangerous creatures. ;)
Thank you Rachel! And yes - they are clearly villains!! 😂🦆
You are so fun to listen to and I love your ideas.
Oh thank you!
Love these ideas. As a new upcycler, I've started to think about my house hold items to makeover.
Wonderful! Thanks so much! 😊
I thought I’d seen all your videos (some more than once!); however, this was a wonderful find! So much wisdom in one video! Thank you!
You are so welcome! What a lovely comment to read, truly appreciate it! 🤓🙏
You are so cute Andy! Love your videos!
Thanks so much!!
Adorable table! I would have definitely have used very light gold trim there!
Thanks so much!
All were beautiful ❤️ tyfs hugs 🤗
You are so welcome, thank you very much for watching!
I'm hoping you are well. So sorry about losing your sister - take care of YOU and we'll all be here when you decide to come back ❤.
Thank you so much Maria, truly appreciate hearing that. I hope to be back next week.
Loved all the creations ...what a beautiful video ... totally relaxing.you know ...i would like to meet in person some of my favourite youtubers including you...
Thank you so much! 😀 I'm so honored to be among them, and would love to have an opportunity to meet folks!!
