1. You had me at huzzah.🤣 2. I stayed for the 80 music, don't know why and 3. I subscribed because I love your storytelling style!👏🏽
WOW! Huzzah for 80's music! 😂 Thank you so much, this is so great to hear!!
Not everyone has a soothing, melodic voice like yours which makes it so much easier to watch entire videos. Love your humorous side also. Loved this transformation of a certainly outdated, headed to the landfill piece. You did an excellent job! Kudos to you! ❤️
Wow - thank you very much, that's such an incredibly nice thing to hear! I'm so glad you enjoyed ~ hope you can tune in for the next one! :)
@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy I was just about to comment on your so pleasant voice when I saw other people commenting too. It's a pleasure to hear your voice.
Wow, thank you Ana!
Hello Cynthia 👋 nice meeting you here!!! How are you doing?
Beautiful transformation. You have great vision for reimagining unloved pieces.
Thank you so much, Lisa - really appreciate hearing that!
Wow!!! I was so amazed at her transformation I ran to the other side of the house to show my husband (who honestly probably couldn't care any less 😂🙈).
But this is such an inspiration for an old bookcase I have of similar era.
Hooray! Lol, love that image of running to the hubby. So happy to inspire a future project! Thanks so much!
Don't know how I found you, but so glad I did! You are made for the camera! Your presentation is so melodic and comforting while informative and correctly paced. Good job.
Wow, thank you so much! As a musician, it's fantastic to hear that my speaking presentation is melodic!! ❤️
Lmbo! Omg! You are a very funny lady! Saturated in talent and wonderful to watch and learn from! Thank you! 🥰
Oh, thank YOU! So fantastic to hear!! ❤️😊😂
Great job! Please continue to create content, Your videos are so enjoyable to watch. You're a natural storyteller and it shows; plus your transformed pieces are beautiful! 👏👏
Thank you so much, Susan - really appreciate hearing that!
Sorry to barge in your privacy Susan, I am Jackson gerald from Canada but I work with the STIFEL BANK EUROPE, Spain.
It's nice, for once, to see primer being used properly, and this shows you have certain standards for the quality of your finished pieces. Love the way you present them for sale too
Thank you, Karen! So nice to hear. 😊
Sorry to barge in your privacy Karen I am Jackson gerald from Canada but I work with the STIFEL BANK EUROPE, Spain and you?
That looks amazing, came out really great. So many people throw out perfectly good furniture cause its outdated when really they could give it a second chance at life
Thanks Zoe, that's exactly my thinking as well!
I graduated high school in 1980, so the 80’s was my decade. That cabinet looked soooo familiar. What a transformation! I especially loved how the VHS drawer now holds liquor. Great job!
Hooray!! So glad you liked it - thanks so much Janice!!
I absolutely LOVED your commentary! I was watching your video on mute with CC on in the wee hours of the morning last night. For the first time in a week, my 5 month old baby woke up to be fed. You TOTALLY kept me entertained when normally I would've been irritated!! New subscriber!! I look forward to your new videos!!
Oh my goodness, Rachel...I have SO been there!! I'm honored to have in any way helped during a middle-of-the-night feeding - thank you so much for sharing that!! And many thanks for subbing! ❤️😊
Wow! Not only useful but entertaining! I’ll bet your father is proud!
Thank you, and I sure hope so - he’s my hero for sure!
I came here for the furniture and stayed because you did a great job. Oh, and you're beautiful!
Oh, well thank you! So glad you enjoyed it. 😊
Hurray!! I knew you were gonna do a bar cart! Right on. You could also have done the same thing but using black instead of the chalk paint and it would have been awesome too!
Thanks! I agree - black would have been gorgeous as well!
Made a convert out of me... 80's to today's boho.. well done. Nice shoes and lovely back paper. Divine!
Awesome! Thank you, Zoe for another fabulously written comment!! ❤️😊
Yup! Successfully transformed and redeemed! 🔥
Hooray!!! Thanks so much!! ❤️
Yes, 80's castoffs are a treasure trove of opportunities. So many of them are of high quality, and can be had for a song. Great project, and thanks for posting.
Well said! Thanks so much for watching!!
Hello Karen 👋 nice meeting you here!!!
Wow, first look at that piece I thought no way can she make that look good! You proved me wrong! Absolutely amazing job!
Hooray, thank you Amber!
Thank you for showing that every piece of furniture has a past and a future.
That's beautifully put Karen - thank you!!
So enjoyable to watch
Thanks, so glad you enjoyed it! 😊
I am gen x and this style still graces my grandma’s house, so it’s not for me, but there is some yacht rock loving millennial who is breathless looking at this piece! Also, your technique and narration are amazing!
LOL, love this Rebecca, and as a fellow gen x-er, totally get it. Thanks so much!!
😁
It turned out excellent with the styling as bar cart. Thanks for sharing your vision and how to. 👍🏻
You bet!! Thanks so much for watching!!
You need to have your own show on PBS or HGTV! They don’t have enough programming for regular people who diy. Your skills and creativity are equal to your wit and humility. I love that you are willing to show the imperfections of being a diy enthusiast. It makes me feel like I too can be imperfect and still enjoy repurposing!
Wow, so wonderful to hear this, thank you so much Kimberly!! 😊🙏💙
That is stunning! I've never liked the oak furniture era but I just lugged a well made tall oak shelf because I my books need a home. I'm inspired now.
Hooray!! Yes - I think there actually may be some potential there. Thanks so much for watching! ❤️😊
Thank-you for cleaning it like a sea otter, because that is exactly what I do. I hate watching people clean with the same cloth all the way through and they think it's clean. I just found you and I love the way you work. Great job.
😂 Right?? Thank so much, Susan!!
💯💢
How coincidental, I had a 2 piece set very similar to this one, its cousins, when I lived in the Bay Area in the early 80s. At the same time, I read The Hobbit for the first time, followed by the trilogy. It’s about time I read The Hobbit for my fourth time. Awesome work, your’s and Tolkien’s. Yay, You’re next video premieres later today but I still haven’t gone to bed yet, but excited to see what you post tomorrow.
Wow, just wow! How coincidental, indeed!! ❤️😊 Yes, yes - The Hobbit needs its fourth read!! (my goodness - what I just compared to Tolkien??) 😳❤️😂 Thanks so much for watching and hope you enjoy the next story!
Sorry to barge in your privacy Deb I am Jackson gerald from Canada but I work with the STIFEL BANK EUROPE, Spain and you?
@@jacksongerald882 Jackson Gerald, how pathetic that you choose in life to be an internet You Tube Stalker for financial gain. I would never ever consider trusting a stranger who contacts me via a YT video or anywhere online, even more disturbing is that you’re doing so by reading and responding to YT comments. So creepy, disturbing. Do you traffic humans also? I don’t even answer my door to solicitors I can see and talk to in person. I pity the people, probably all women in your case, who are ignorant enough to fall for this approach, i. e., scam. Don’t ever contact me again and perhaps consider finding a more reputable way to do business. As they say in the south, Bless your heart.”

Love this - especially since my husband restored and repurposed a 1940s tv cabinet as a bar in 1968! Some things don’t change 😂😂
Awesome! Thanks, Barb!!
I have to say that at the beginning of today's tale I was a TOTAL negative nellie............but by the time you did the reveal at the end I had made a complete 180!!!!!!!!!!! That wallpaper in the back really did it for me, what a transformation! And the fact that the dreary little side drawer was just the right size to hold all those drinks bottles, that was serendipity to be sure!!!
LOVE this! So glad I could convince you to do a 180 - that's such a cool compliment. Thanks so much, Nell!!
i could listen to your voice forever, such a lovely design 😍
Many thanks Franny!
This turned out lovely! I have a love/hate relationship with that 80's built stuff. On one hand it's usually pretty sturdy and solidly built(even the veneer and plywood and/or mdf core). On the other.. it can be so dang OOOGLY and weird and that was my childhood era! Fortunately it fills and paints well. lol
Same here!! Thanks so much!
Brilliant. The numbers were an appreciated foot note.
Wonderful, thanks so much!
Just tripped over your platform and all I can say is: OKAY WOW. I'e thrown away pieces of this style because I thought they were useless. What an eye you have. Remarkable make over . Thanks
Wow, thank you! That is awesome to hear - having grown up with these little "beauties" in the 80s, it makes me happy to take a try at refreshing them. 😊
Yes!!!!! So glad I’m not the only one that sees the potential in these pieces!!! I just redid the one that was in my parents house growing up. Great job girl!
Hooray!! Thanks so much!! 😊
I just started watching your videos and I have to say I'm crazy about the honesty that you share with us all 😉
Thank you, Paula - I appreciate that!
I think you are the only person able to keep such a piece out of the land fill in this day and age. That is a real testament to your talent and the reason flippers are so important. Thank you!
Wow Suzanne - that is such a wonderful compliment - thank you very much. 🙏❤️
WoW! Who knew you could make such a wonderful transformation of a tired old TV cabinet.
Right? Many thanks!
I love it! I couldn't imagine what could have been done with it at first but boy you did a great job!! Love your teaching style as well!!
Wow, thank you so much! That is so wonderful to hear, I'm so glad you are enjoying!!
Well, just so you know, I was here in the beginning before you will have taken CZcams by storm and became a sensation. Someone is going to be a ⭐️.
WOW - well, that would be something, wouldn't it?? Thank you so much for such incredible encouragement!!
Fantastic job! It’s refreshing to see some like yourself who really does their own work. 💪🏼
Thank you, I appreciate that!
I so enjoyed this flip and You definitely have a way with words. Love your sense of humor. Looking forward to more.
Thank you so much, Shelley!
Wow! A beautiful artistic project with a major helping of practical techniques. The finished piece shows just how far creative vision can bring what appears to be valueless into a new brilliant life.
Wow, thank you for such a beautifully written comment! 😊
Love your videos and love listening to you walk us through the process.
I'm thrilled you are enjoying!! Many thanks for watching!!
At first I thought you were putting way too much work into it. But what you've done here is taken a found object and turned it into functional art. Subscribed.
Wow, thanks so much!
I wouldn’t have believed it! A good imagination goes a loooong way. Bravo!
Truth! Thanks so much. 😊
You are SO going to have tons and tons of new subscribers! Glad I could be here from the beginning of your journey! Well done. 👍🙏🏻🥁
Wow Mendy - thanks so much! I'm blown away by all the support - I really appreciate it!
Hmmmm that's nice!!! Nice meeting you here!!!
I just found this channel and am loving it! Having lived through the era of oak entertainment centers, I just can't "unsee" the original look. That's just me. We have a large entertainment center that we took out all of the shelves and glass doors, leaving a big, open space for our 42" TV. It's fine for now.
So glad you are enjoying it, thank you!! And I totally get that about the era of the oak entertainment center...well said! 😂❤️
Wow!!! This turned out amazing. And you did a great job repairing and repainting the holes on that drawer! Totally camouflaged it!
Thank you so much, Alicia! 😊
I'm an avid reader and furniture flipper so love your channel! I'm just about to start a channel myself and hope it's equally informative.
That's fantastic! Thank you so much, and do let me know when you launch! :)
You seem like a seasoned professional. I immediately subscribed after watching your first video. Went to watch more and realized you just started posting videos. Great job and can't wait for more.
Thank you very much, Al - what a wonderful thing to hear!! Looking forward to bringing you more. 😊
Your jokes and tone caught me in the first seconds, then I stayed for the whole DIY. Love it!!
Hooray, thank you so much! So glad you are enjoying the Fables-format! 😊❤️
I loved what you did with this piece of furniture! Beautiful colours!
Thank you so much, Lesley!!
Agggh, looked again [some years later]. It's lovely...
Great makeover! I just purchased two 80's/90's oak nightstands with the big rounded corners like your piece and now I can wait to get started refurbishing them. I am going with dark blue and keeping the wood tone on the drawers but making them a little bit darker. And I am adding 4" slanted metal hairpin legs. Thank you for the inspiration!!
Thanks! Your combination plan sounds fantastic - so glad I could help with your inspiration!
Well done. I like your way to telling a furniture story.
Thank you, so glad you liked it! 😊
Brand new subscriber here! Wow, I'm just blown away by the vision here. I never would have imagined it could look that good. Also, I love your style of breaking down each step and describing each product. Makes it seem like anyone could do it. I however, bow before your skills!
Wow, thank you Candice!! Really appreciate hearing that - and anyone can do it, for sure! If you ever feel like giving it a try, I suggest starting with something small - a little table or plant stand - with as few bells and whistles as possible. Before you know it, you'll be redesigning every piece you own! ❤️😊
Love this Makeover and I also love how you clean. No little spritz of tsp and what looks like a dry cloth--just a good clean with plenty of soap and water and dry with a towel and some sunshine!
Thanks so much! 😊
Love love love the video! I would like to see a contrasting contact paper on the back wall. Something geometric and subtle is my favorite. That’s just my opinion, for whatever it’s worth. You do such a wonderful job. I love your honest and well-read videos. You’ve got a new fan 🤩
Wow, thanks Brittany!! I agree - a geometric would be great, I love those as well.
Hey there Brittany 👋 nice meeting you here!!!
That turned out great. Your humor is a star and I thought I was the only one who worn 2 pairs of glasses on my head at the same time, 😅
Thanks so much! Lol, yes - there have been times I've actually ended up with three pairs on my head...??? 😂😂😂
@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy 😅
Andy! I am learning so much from your videos! I have refinished or repainted furniture for my entire adult life, but your videos have really upped my game with new techniques, products and style ideas. I especially love seeing the techniques you use to repair pieces. It makes me so happy to see well made furniture rescued from a landfill so beautifully. I wish, however, that you would offer purchasing options for the products you use other than Amazon. I have a strong ethical bias against patronizing Amazon with their monopolistic leanings, poor treatment of employees, and their willingness to drive entrepreneurs who sell on their site out of business by copying their products and underselling them. Thanks again for this education on furniture upcycling, delivered so charmingly.
Thank you so much Donna! I appreciate your thoughts about amazon links, for sure something for us all to ponder. So glad you are enjoying the fables!
I loved your color choice and combination of natural wood. I never would have given that old piece of furniture a second look but it just turned out great !
Thank you so much - I'm so glad you like it!! Yes, this one was tough to see the potential in for sure! 😂😍
Beautiful transformation!!
Many thanks! ❤️😊
What a revival! Loved this transformation and am so happy I discovered your channel!
Yay! Thank you - I'm so glad you did too!! 😊
Definitely an 80’s revival. I love the wood and wallpaper accent ❤
Yay, thank you!
I didn’t think it was possible for that ol beast to be brought back to life! But you did it! Wow.
Thanks! A fun challenge for sure. 😊
This was so enjoyable to watch! I haven’t even finished my first piece yet so I’m just a rookie. My prediction with your knowledge and personality is that you will be extremely successful, here on CZcams. Congratulations & good luck. 💕
Many many thanks, and I'm cheering for you on your first piece!! That is awesome - best of luck!!
That is gorgeous! And you are hilarious. That wallpaper and the colour of the paint were made for each other. Great choices and I love your sense of humour. Can't wait to see more!
Wow, thanks so much Heather!! I'm so glad you are enjoying!! ❤️😊
The piece turned out great! You were totally right in your call to fill in the lock -- the smooth surface looks beautiful.
Thank you!
The wallpaper is a great idea!
Thanks!
Wow! I'm so glad this showed up in my feed! You do amazing work! 😍❤💙
Thank you so much, that's fantastic to hear!
If you know you were going to put liquor in there you might well have considered installing a new updated lock. LOL
Great point. ❤️😊😂
I had the same thought!
@@sharonmcbride7201 😂👍
Just a wonderful update on that old oak piece. The colour was perfect and really modernized those rounded edges. Amazing wallpaper !!
Hooray! Thank you very much!
I have that same paper on my living room wall! 😍 it is great quality! Love your narration and piece!
Oh that's awesome! Thanks so much!!
5. The wallpaper!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Swoon!
Yes, soooo cool! *Love* that one!
I still am not a fan of 80’s furniture though you did a beautiful job but your narration is amazing!
Wow, thank you, that's fantastic to hear! And totally understand about 80's furniture. 😅
Wow! It turned out fabulous!
Makes me feel better about tackling one of my pieces from the 80’s!
I'm so glad! Many thanks for watching!!
I love that you humanize the furniture, giving it personality and making it a hero to root for 😀. I also love your attention to detail, not just in anesthetics like most youtubers but also function. I feel like I'm learning a whole new way to see and evaluate furniture. Love it. Thank you and keep showing us how you see and evaluate and love these items. It's inspiring.
Wow, thank you so much, what an incredibly wonderful thing to read. Truly appreciate it!
Looks amazing. I've priced things low before to get rid of things also, but not things I took time making and look that good! Love your channel. Your voice is so soothing.
Thanks so much, Genna! So nice to hear that from a fellow flipper. 😊
That’s amazing!! I’m working on a tv stand now that’s driving me crazy! Don’t have the tools to get the inside shelves out, so I’m at a loss. She’s definitely beautiful compared to when I rescued her from GW, but sheesh….had no idea she was going to be so much work
Thank you! Ugh - it can be so frustrating to get tripped up because of needing a certain tool, etc. I've sooooo been there too. Best of luck! 😊👍
Wow!! You did it, you found a great way to uplift this style of furniture 👏👏👏
Thank you so much! That's truly fantastic to hear. 😊
This piece turned out magnificent! Wow! It was so hideous before that it looked better with just the primer!! I can’t get over the paint and beautiful wallpaper. Beautiful!
Thank you so much, Liz!!
I am loving this video! It's been a while since I've watched a CZcams video all the way through, thanks for an entertaining and educational watch!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, thank you so much for watching!! 😊
💯
💯
Oh wow, great video. I've been waiting for someone to address the elephant in the room known as 80s style furniture!
Haha, love that! 🐘 So glad you enjoyed. Hopefully more 80's themed Furniture Fables to come! 😊
This one turned out beautiful and very original and it shows how we can really give pieces a different use than the one they were created for. we do not need to through things we can always give them new oportunities to be usefull and loved again. Love your way!!
Thanks so much - I really love and support that idea! 😊
Oh Wow! What a TRANSFORMATION! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much!!
Love the flip and the style in which you present. I was surprised to see that this is your first video? Looking forward to future projects!
Yes!! Second one premiered last Saturday, and third one coming this Sat! Thank you so much for watching!!
Beautiful! Thanks for doing all that work so I could do some armchair refinishing!😜
Thank you, Lori!! 😊
WOWWOW WOW Just Beautiful- you are so talented and Take Your Time to do Wood the right way!!! You don't rush the important steps like cleaning, dusting, Puttying the holes, Sanding again. The time you took to mix the Coconix paint to blend that little hole with the rest of the wood?????!!!!! That's how you will make it Big selling Furniture Makeovers, the Prep work is what makes the piece Shine in the End!!!!! I almost forgot, the Nuwallpaper you added, oh my how beautiful. The finishing touch with the Dixie Bell Paint color that blends so well with the Nuwallpaper. Really good Work!!!!
Wow, thank you so much Jean! Truly appreciate YOU taking the time to share - you clearly have experience yourself. Many thanks for watching and for your encouraging comment! 😊
You did a great job!!!! I never thought I could like 80s furniture again
Thank you so much! 😊
From 80's to wOw!! Your edits and finishes certainly gave this piece personality. Great idea to stage as a bar, a nice surprise!!🌷🌷
Yay, so glad you liked that idea!!
Omg thats amazing I love it nd the color as well that makes a great bar with hidden bottles I love it 👍👍👍😇
Hooray!! Thanks so much!
I did NOT think that this piece would look good with any amount of work, but WOW did it shine up with your clever eye! I would enjoy the 'after' piece in my home, not hidden like I would the 'before'!
Thank you so much! 😃
Whoa...great job! Love the backdrop.
So glad you liked it, yes - one of my favorites! Thanks so much for watching! 😊
I love You using the pronouns "her" and "she"; it gives the piece an identity!!! It is humorous, but it is also sign of expressing a level of respect for anything to give it an identity. All furniture is essentially a piece of artwork and craftsmanship, some good some less than. Recognizing and acknowleging the piece's "identity" helps with the creative process of giving Her, or Him, a revived more functional life. 👍😄
I'm 62 and I still name inanimate objects, and give our cars, trucks, tractors, etc., names. 😂
Thanks, I'm glad I'm not the only one! 😂 Yes - I'm highly sentimental, and tend to personify everything. ❤️😊
Beverage carts are the "hot" new item to have...nice choice to stage it that way.
Absolutely - thanks so much!
Now I know what it is, u remind me of someone I worked with and I absolutely loved her, similar personality and just so warm and genuine . I got to train her and she became one of the district managers at sephora
Well thank you, that's lovely to hear!!
What a creative and lovely transformation! THANK YOU!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
I had many pieces of this style of furniture in the 80’s. Sturdy and well made, and definitely identifiable as from that era. Love what you did with this piece. Makes me want to run out and get some chalk paint! P.S. The heroic 80’s music was awesome too! Cheers from Florida!
Hooray, thanks so much!! Especially glad you enjoyed the 80's music tribute. ❤️😎
💢💯
What a great channel! I just started picking up pieces on FreeCycle and I know there will be items that I want to flip and update. Thank you so much for sharing your time, talents, and terrific ideas. :)
You are so very welcome, and thank you for watching!!
💯💢
I love that wallpaper and used it as a backdrop behind my stove and under my upper cabinets. It's a great funky look and matches my color scheme, which has mix and match funky dishes, fiesta ware etc.
Sounds like a great use of it!
I love this ❤. I’m watching all your past videos to get caught up. I loved this because I was in high school in the 80’s and this type of furniture was the kind to have !! It was modern and cool. And orange. Lol. I love watching the transformations of pieces from the 80’s. Who knew orange furniture could look this good. Great flip.
Yay, thanks so much and so glad you enjoyed this first Fable! 😊💗
