- Hey Guys!
Welcome back to another episode of Missflips! In this episode, I am making over this amazing art deco cabinet that has gotten quite a bit of attention on social media. I found this piece for $25 on Facebook marketplace and honestly, as soon as I got to working on it, I could see exactly why she listed it for that. It was DISGUSTING! But with a lotta love, I was able to get this thing looking good as new!
Thank you so much for watching and I hope you enjoyed this video!
As usual, stay flippin!

From what you started with and what you ended up with it's an immense difference. You did a beautiful job
Thank you so much Lorraine!
OMG! Lovely work and good job on a unique piece. You have been given so much bad advice here it is mind boggling, and most of it was from people who can’t spell. Pre-stain conditioner just causes the stain to sit atop the wood and is recommended for woods that tend to be splotchy when stained. It doesn’t “give the wood a drink.” Sanding sealer also would not have solved your stain problem, and there is no reason to believe it was caused by the vinegar still being in the wood. It is amazing how many people give the same uninformed “advice” that has already been posted. Finally, I’m sorry so many jerks piled on regarding the paint. It’s your furniture and you can do what pleases you. I had a problem similar to yours with stain and believe it was caused by oil-based stain that I didn’t let dry sufficiently before using a water based topcoat. I’ve used that combo many times in the past without a problem. Just ignore all these haters with their snide comments and inexpert advice. Do your own research from reputable sources and keep doing beautiful work. By the way, I’m a big fan of Transcend Furniture Gallery. Angie has lots of excellent information in her videos.
Haha thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time and writing so thoughfully
Another great piece, although I was expecting more gold accents on the decorative trim, lol. After your hard sanding work, you need to apply a shellac sealer before applying the stain. The shellac 'sets' the wood ready for staining as the next step, you got there in the end! Wish I could find such lovely deco pieces where we live in Aussie!
Ah! Good to know! Thank you! You can still find some incredible pieces there that we don’t get over here though. Tit for tat I suppose
I was thinking a wood conditioner before stain. I believe the wood was very dry and absorbed the stain, leading to the bleached out wood effect. This happens to me when restoring older pieces.
I cringe everytime I see someone soaking a beautiful wood piece like his with water. Steam or a heat gun would have been much safer. I’m so glad it worked out in 😢he end
You find the most uniquely beautiful pieces! Nice work, as usual! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much Nancy! It helps that I’m addicted to Facebook marketplace lol
Right. Another great restoration show. Thank you.
you could benefit from some pre-conditioner. Then, the "bleaching effect" is most likely due to using a water based poly over an oil based stain. Thirdly, you could make the wood a bit richer by adding another coat of stain. I'm sure you were sick of it by then, but just a suggestion :D Nicely done. I like that you took such care with it.
Thank you so much for the tips!!
Such a beautiful piece. To remove the glass doors, you start with the front one, lift it slight then tip the bottom edge out towards you. The glass will come right out, then do the same with the second piece of glass. To put them back you just reverse the process. It will make it easier to work on the furniture.
Oh believe you me, I tried! I’ve removed similar glass, but it did not budge!
So glad you kept this beauty without paint on the outside.it’s stunning. And the surprise inside…😍
Haha I’m glad you liked it!! Thank you!
A beautiful cabinet restored. Much as you are artistic I wonder if an Art Deco design inside would have better suited the piece
Thank you! It definitely would have. But then I wouldn’t have kept it. This is much more my style 🥰
Pre-stain conditioner should become your new best friend! 😆 But this piece turned out lovely❣️
Haha fair enough! Thank you!
Yes! It did need some wood conditioner, but it is a beautiful piece. I could look forever and never find a piece just like that one. I love the arch. Great job. My first visit here. I'll be back.Thank you.
What a labor of love for a beautiful piece! It looks awesome now.
Thank you so much! It really was!
I'm in love! Oh my goodness, that is a fabulous piece of furniture!!!! Great job on the refinish.
Thank you so much! We are definitely in love too!
I love this piece! It turned out gorgeous. You did an amazing job 🥰
Thank you Jillian! ❤️
Beautiful!!
🥰
Love this style of furniture so much. It deserved to be saved and you are just the right person for the job. Well done!
Thank you so much! ❤️
Nice. I love the bright colors on the inside. Really sets it off.
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow! Well done!
Thank you :)
Absolutely love this! I’m inspired to give my hutch a little more flair now!!
Oooh yay! Do it! Thank you! I’m so glad you’re inspired 🥰
I love your quirky personality! You are talented and I love your social responsibility. You earned my sub!
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that ❤️
Beautiful transformation!
Thank you Jeffrey!
This piece turned out beautiful! You really did an amazing job
Thank you so much!!
Looks absolutely brilliant 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you so much!
Holy starting point, Batwoman! You're a definite trooper (I shuddered with you.) It was worth getting through the gross. This makeover is literal night and day, Marissa. Freaking STUNNING 😍 ✨️
Thank you so much Jenn! ❤️❤️❤️ it was seriously nasty, but as you said, so worth it!
Incredible transformation. Gorgeous 🥰
Shudder when you said droppings. Can deal with most anything besides that. Hats off to you for getting through that cleaning.
Haha thank you! It was definitely a lot lol
Lovely 😍
🥰🥰🥰
Great find! We'll done!
Thank you!!
just gorgeous. i love it.
Thank you! 😊
I clearly see you getting better at restoring furniture. You were really good when I subscribed but with your skill level rising I honestly can say you've really stepped your game up Miss Flips !
Thank you so much Michael! I appreciate that a lot!
Gorgeous!
Thank you! ❤️
Beautiful and unusual piece of history.
Thank you!
Wow Mija. What an amazing transformation! ❤❤
Thank you so much dad!
You got guts,Girl! And good taste! And not afraid to try plus hard work. Thank you. It keeps this ol lady goin.
Haha thank YOU!! So glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
Fabulous details!!! Hahaha, I actually shivered when you were removing the nest - BEEN THERE (that's how my barn was when I first decided to make it my shop). Ugh! Yes, wonderful work and the details inside really enhance the whole thing in an unexpected way.
Thank you! Haha Oh man! I can’t imagine dealing with an entire barn full 😖 blah!!!
Congrats! Such a beautiful and unique piece of furniture👏
Thank you!! 😊
Dear miss flip the reason why I said specifically 1932_1935 is because the design was very common in furniture with round edges and curved corners in the 1930s basically a more stream lined shape
Hmm interesting! Thank you for the response!
Fantastic job and what an interesting shaped piece. Love it!
Isn’t it?? So cool! Thank you so much!
What a beautiful transformation
Thank you!!
I thought I would HATE the interior, but it looks fantastic.
Aww thank you!!
That is the coolest piece of furniture I’ve ever seen❤️
Right?? We love it too!
I wonder if a pre-stain (inside and out) would have helped. Out to keep it from lightening and blotching and in to make it so that the raw wood wasn't sucking up all of your art paint. I love the boarder on the doors. It makes your doors look like framed art.
Thank you! Yeah, maybe I’ll try that next time. Someone else said it was because I didn’t let it det
@@TheMissFlips this happened to me on a dinning room table. I put my top coat on too soon. I should have given the stain another day to dry. I had to sand it off and re-do. It added another two days to my project. This piece you have is very unique.
@@pattynoel6205 dang. That’s a bummer!
Art Deco colors are beautiful pastels. How great to find "Tiger Oak" under the veneer. I once found "Birdseye Maple" under many layers of paint!!! Refinishing is so rewarding and you have done loving work on this piece. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Great job on this piece, loved the tiger wood on the drawers.
Thank you! Me too!
You have done another amazing transformation. I absolutely love this piece. 😍. As for the weird colour change thing, maybe the wood needed to have a wood conditioner applied before the stain. The wood was so dry before hand and this might have given it a much needed drink…just a thought.
Thank you so much lovely! And yeah, that could definitely have played a part!
The outside came out “flippin” awesome!
Haha thank you so much!
Finally! A furniture diyier who actually cleaned the furniture.
Lol I don’t wanna make it seem like I do this for every piece. Probably should but it eats up a ton of time because you gotta let it dry out a few days and most people can’t afford that. I just did it for this piece because… well look at it lol
I don’t know any DIYer that doesn’t clean the furniture beforehand…it’s always the boring part of their video lol…but such a step that can’t be overlooked bc paint or stain doesn’t adhere on dirty or greasy wood.
But I have to echo what someone else commented…veneer can’t be soaked bc it can loosen the glue. Much better to work in small areas and use a TSP type cleaner then rinse and dry by hand. For an older piece like this. Newer pieces can folder are more wet cleaning
Great job on a fantastic piece of furniture! I love that it looks like an extremely elegant juke box!
Thank you so much!
The glass can easily be removed by grasping either side and lifting up and angling the bottom out.
Fun-tastic ! Careful on washing veneer especially english veneer water can get through and possibly loosen glue , Bonus thought some veneers are covering knot holes and separated and or uneven boards 🤔 very nice .Next 👍 😀
Haha thank you!!
Love the outside not crazy about the inside though. I would've gone for more of an elegant look with having like an art deco arching looking design wallpaper put on the back of the doors of it. then use clear acrylic or maybe even glass shelves. As well as putting a mirror in the back so it looks more classy. And maybe just try putting a mirror in the backing of the hutch on top that has the sliding glass doors.
That definitely would have been similar to what I’d do if I were to sell it but since I was keeping it, I went for a more eclectic vibe which fits my home much better
Wow this is gorgeous! This must have taken you so long to do though. That was a lot of work; but totally worth it in the end.
Definitely was! Thank you!
Very Nice ♥️
🥰🥰😭
My only thought for the possible issue with the stain is that since it was an oil based stain, it wasn't left long enough to cure before adding a water based finish. If you are putting water finish on oil stain, it really needs to sit for a couple weeks for all that oil to do it's thing.
Oh really?? A couple weeks! Dang! I had no idea! Thank you so much for the info! I definitely only let it sit for a day lol
@@TheMissFlips one suggestion I have is a product called Zar oil modified urethane. It's a top coat that cleans up like a water based, but leaves a more durable oil finish. My cabinet maker father in law recommended it to me and I LOVE it.
Amazing job as usual! I’m so happy you didn’t paint the outside😊. Not that I know what I’m talking about or have ever experienced this but I watch a lot of these videos and maybe that’s why some people wood condition is because every now and then they’ll get a piece that needed it and it would’ve prevented what happened with the topcoat.
Very true! Thank you so much!
Haha! You made me laugh about the bug nests! My 600 year old house is always surprising me with previously uncovered delights. I'm sure there are actual fanged monsters living in one of the attic rooms which we are wanting to restore. Not sure insect repellent will suffice 😂
Oh man!! Yeah, with 600 years under its belt, I’m sure
That is a beautiful cabinet you did a brilliant job.
Thank you very much!
If I was back living in the US I would be one of your clients for sure. I love your work. First class!@@TheMissFlips
@@STEPHAN1808 thank you so much!!!
Do you do any French Polishing?@@TheMissFlips
This was so much work but oh so worth it! Thank you for letting us know about the poly thing and stain…I’m actually working on an old oak church pew and want to stain it white for a beach effect….I’m using water based and hopefully that won’t happen to me!
Oh yes! Good luck! Thank you for watching!
Nice job 👍
Thank you!
I started my grandmothers antique dark stain desk. I apparently picked the most difficult project first 8 rows of tiny ridges at the bottom. I know I can handle anything after this next antique bridge card table
Haha damn! Sounds like the project! But yes, from here, all of them will seem easy in comparison lol
Great job! That piece definitely deserves to have a second chance! About "a stain problem" it could be because of 2 reasons. 1. The piece soaked a lot of water while you were washing it and it needed more time to dry. 2. An oil based stain needed more time to dry as well. I saw someone in the comments sad a couple of weeks but I know about at least 24 to 48 hours before applying water-based finish.
I definitely did 24 hours at least. And I also let it dry for 2 days before sanding it and then another day before staining it
@MissFlips The same thing happened to me when I applied some finishing oil to a piece after washing it and letting it dry for 4 days. It turned out kinda blotchy. I talked to a couple of woodworkers and they all said that with old pieces especially if they have been stored in the sheds or outside something like that could happen. The moisture could be trapped deep in the woodfiber. And that even could happen with veneered chipboard.
You really have to wonder why they would cover up tiger oak with a veneer. Beautiful
Yeah, very interesting. Maybe it wasn’t the style they were looking for 🤷♀️
Yes you put the shelves in
Thanks!
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love the exterior however, I’m not big on the painted interior. The doors are neat but the color block inside just isn’t my thing.
Still, it came out lovely in the end. Good job. Thank you for sharing the process
To each there own 🥰 thanks for watching!
I think a sanding seal coat would have helped the stain not fade and blotch. If you sprayed on lacquer it might have blushed with the humidity. There is a product that you can spray on to take away the blush.
Oh really? What’s the product?
You're a miracle working Marissa I swear .... Gorgeous transformation and I Screamed like a little Barbie Girl when I'm More Like GI Joes Sister 😂😂 with those nests ..but Talk about a labor of love and such a beautiful unique piece....Tip .. I experienced something similar with tiger oak and I watched a video from a cabinet maker restoration video and they Said when dealing with dry wood and oak Pop the grain before applying any Waterbase stain with wiping with mineral spirits and then a quick 150-180 Grit sanding sponge or you can use water (I prefer mineral spirits)..Or use gel stain...again beautiful work my friend...you're amazing 🥰👍
Ooooh great to know!! Thank you so much Debra! You’re the best 🥰
@@TheMissFlips 😊🙌❣️
Sweet, beautiful...❤
Thank you! 😊
Very pretty English Art Deco sideboard/bar. I'm surprised the glass doors didnt just lift up and pull out at bottom groves. This finish must have originally had a spray toner in the varnish to even out the color. I do think a dark walnut would have been the right shade for this. But, I still like how it turned out and your artistic stamp on the inside. To cute.
Thank you very much! And yes! Same! The glass would not budge!
Was waiting for glass comment lol . But yes they lit up and out , but sometimes from the center only ( top groove cut deeper )
Beautiful job done. I just ordered those spongy sanding pad from your link. I am new to doing furnitures painting. I do because I am bored and just looking for something to enjoy since I am stuck at home with my old furbabies.
Haha well good! I hope you enjoy it!
You have done a great job, look's great you Guy's have a nice day !!!. Brian UK !!!.😃😃
Hey Brian! Thank you so much for watching!
Omgosh!! Beautiful cabinet. I would have just restored it!!!! Before I watch you I hope you put a sealer on the wood before you paint!!
Nope!
@@TheMissFlipsyou may want to rethink not putting a stain blocker on before painting. It is better safe than sorry. I’ve had to re do pieces bc I didn’t prime before.
@@rhondadavis1483 definitely!
Very nice
Thank you ❤️
Красивый шаф получился!💐👍🎨
Thank you so much!
She’s a beauty!! But as it goes with most beauties, they be temperamental 😂
Loool fair enough!
She is a beautiful piece, 🙂
Right?? I think so too! 🥰
FYI vinegar is good for dissolving high glue
Thanks for the info
Very good Merissa you did wonderful job, next time don't use vinegar and water for cleaning a 1930s dresser, vinegar will melt the hide glue we use vinegar for melting hide glue in England on stubborn items that I can't free when I'm restoring furniture with out damaging it as for the Finnish? was the stain oil base because it wouldn't go to well with a water base Finnish, 😊
Dang! Good to know! Thanks Derran! And yes, several people have mentioned that and for some reason I didn’t think about it when applying the top coat lol
@@TheMissFlips it's all a lerning curve Rome wasn't built in a day
@@derranbryne7223 very true! ❤️
Greetings from ATL! Beautiful work, Marissa! I gotta disagree on the felt though - it has to come off if it’s nasty😮. Deja vu for me: I refinished my tiger oak sideboard recently with a felt-lined drawer. As you said, it took forever and was a mess to do. I used hot water, acetone, scraping, heat gun, alcohol, etc. but it was worth it - the result is fab!! I’d bought new felt, but decided to leave it. Just gorgeous now! Love your work and creativity.🫶🏼
Thank you so much! I’m in ATL as well :))
That was a bold move with the pop of colour in the cupboards, but it looks awesome. Stay safe
Haha thank you!
Beautiful! I think you should start a product line of stencils and you should call it So, Um, Yeah!
Hahaha I love it! I’ve actually thought about making a stencil line but they’re all plastic and I focus on eco friendly flipping as much as possible so it’s unfortunately not something I want to participate in
@@TheMissFlips Eco-friendly, cellulose, compostable, re-usable stencils. You'll make a fortune!
@@Pinkstinkie ooooh never thought of that!! Do you know a company that makes them??
@@TheMissFlips I am totally talking out of my ass. But out of love-- and hope.
@@Pinkstinkie looool I’ll look into it 🥰
Wood conditioner! seals off extremely dried wood and its pores and helps stain go on more evenly.
I’ve heard mixed things about wood conditioner
The pre- stain everybody talked about is commonly called sanding sealer too.
It gives an even coat to stain. Eliminating the blotchy look.
As far as the washing out part, check to see of you used an oil base stain and s water based poly. Rule of thumb: oil goes over water, but water doesn't go over oil ( sometimes sanding first will but doesn't last for years )
We all remember oil and water don't mix. Finishes apply to this. Hope that helps.
Also, stain my just sit on top of poly and come off later.
Thank you so much for the info! That definitely helped. Lot!
Der Schrank ist wundervoll geworden 🌸🌸🌸
Tipp: Das Glas kann man rausnehmen. Glasscheibe in die Mitte schieben, leicht anheben und vorsichtig entnehmen 🌞
I wish I knew what this says!
@@TheMissFlips 🤭🤣🌸👋🏻
@@TheMissFlips She said it turned out beautiful. She also said that you could remove the glass by pressing gently in the middle and carefully lift and remove it.
@@angeleyes5362 oh wow! Thank you for the translation! Unfortunately I already tried that and it doesn’t lift anywhere :/
@@TheMissFlips usually the guide rail above the glass is made deep enough to lift it just enough to slide out the bottom but maybe yours just doesn't have that or maybe just at a certain place of it that you have to find within that guide rail
First time viewer here. Nice work. Did you mix an oil-based stain with a water-based finish? The oil in the stain might not have set up enough before adding the finish. I'm no pro and have found it tricky but not impossible to use both oil and water based products on a piece. Right now I am trying various oil and wax treatments over stain to get a more natural feel on my wood. Good luck with the channel!!
Thank you so much! Yeah, I think that was the issue
Para ser bem sincera, o exterior ficou explendido, muito lindo esse trabalho e a peça ficou maravilhosa. Ja quanto ao interior dela, bem devo ser sincera e dizer que um acabamento mais sóbrio talvez caísse mais harmonioso.
Parabéns pelo seu dedicado trabalho!
Wish I knew what this said but thanks for the comment :))
The prestain conditioner isnt all its cracked up to be and its actually more about how you applied the stain. If you put it on the entire section before wiping it wont be so blotchy. You dont get the depth of color with the conditioner.
Fair enough! Thanks for the info!
Oh WOW ! That piece Sure was in a Sorry state 😩 But you uncovered a beauty beneath 👍It looks fabulous ❤IT
Thank you so much! 🥰
Just found you! "When I get big (retire!)" I want to refurbish furniture too! I'll admit to loving everything until you brought out the green, though! -Sharon
Haha to each their own :) my personal decor style incorporates natural wood and pops of color. As for my artistic style, I specialize in art deco gold lines on top of wood tones. Make sure to check out my other videos for some more inspiration! Happy retirement!
What an amazing piece! Where did you find her? And of course, I love the final result.
Thank you so much! I got her off Facebook marketplace for $25!!!!!! 😩❤️🤯
@@TheMissFlips Whoa! What a steal!!
Use gel stain works wonders
Yeah, I just like using what I have on hand
You have to sand it after you stain it to prevent the issues you had. I liked your work on the outside and the painting of the inside door's, but the other painting should have been all the green, the orange the yellow did not like.
Fair enough. It goes well with the other colors we have in our space :) also, thanks for the tip! Why does sanding prevent that?
When working on drawers it may be helpful to clamp it to your work table.
Yeah. I honestly need to get proper clamps. And a proper work table lol
The stain lightening or disappearing after putting a top coat on happened on a video I was watching on @bustedtobuffed. He thought it was because his stain was old.
Interesting. Thank you!
Great result, first of all you saved a solid Art Deco piece of furniture. .
Haha thank you!
Using a toothbrush for grooves makes it easier
Genius!
💜💜💜
❤️❤️❤️
I'm about to re-do a piece of furniture that's quite similar to this one and I have 2 sanders which are fine but I'm going to be buying a sandblasting machine thingy, I wonder if this may be beneficial for you and any future furniture renovations you may have as it would "clean" it all and not remove any moldings or patterns.
Oh definitely!! I wish I could afford one. Definitely saving up for one though!
@@TheMissFlips oh gosh I can't afford to pay a lot but I have seen some for around £15-£20 but there are different ones which can cost hundreds and I think people use bicarbonate of soda as the "sand" which can re-used. I shall try it out and hope it goes well. Wish me luck lol.
@@questionmark9819 yeah! Please let me know!! That sounds great!
Thomas Johnson and others guys belonging to the furniture restoration sector use vinegar to unglue the veneer. You are really talented !!!
Yeah, that’s what someone else mentioned as well! Good to know. Thank you!
I love this piece. I wouldn’t have been so grossed out. It’s just dirt
Dirt is one thing. Bug nests wig me out lol with the dead larva in there and such. Not my favorite thing
Just my thinking but then, I was a nurse. Just saying!
You can use Zep citrus cleaner, krud kutter, also, easier
It’s not eco friendly
Hola, hermoso trabajo, solo déjame decirte que los vidrios o cristales se sacan tomando cada vidrio con las dos manos y tirarlos hacia arriba, se sube y se tira para afuera desde abajo y salen sin problema; para colocarlos es el mismo sistema o sea ponerlo en el riel de arriba primero empujarlo hacia arriba y luego ponerlo en el riel de abajo y soltarlo, espero me entiendas; un abrazo desde Chile.
I unfortunately tried that and it does not work.
I bet when you sprayed it down with water, you raised the moisture content of the wood and that's why the stain reacted that way. Maybe if you have a moisture meter, check it and see if it is higher than it should be
Ah interesting. I let it dry for 2 days before applying the stain
@MissFlips it needs more like 2 weeks honestly, with that much water involved. Even lumber you buy at a big box store needs to acclimate to your work environment before using it for furniture
