I own this Art Deco Buffet, wife and I bought it off Jay, he did an amazing job, it still looks just like this now. We love it.

[@emmsue1053]

You guys have great taste. I am a little envious, but on the other hand so happy you've given it a loving home.

[@mommieminnesota3108]

I would have stained it a dark cherry or mahogany color bc that's what a lot of high end furniture was made of back in the day bc the wood was strong and pieces wood(😉) last a lifetime.

[@nancybeamesderfer1995]

The workmanship is beautiful but I don't like the dark color, either.

[@jetaboveclouds]

I think a rosewood interior would have lifted the massiveness,

[@user-yp9pk8iz1n]

❤не нужен вишневый цвет,он на любителя.Мастер все восстановил ,просто замечательно.Браво!!!!!

[@p18gem]

I love the black!

[@belindabartels8241]

Love your work. But hated the black

[@mary-ellendowning8388]

I love your sanding sequences! Those and your "Rocky and Bullwinkle" two thousand years later. Beautiful Work!

[@user-uv2pk2jx9s]

I’ve always have loved Art Deco! Things were so beautiful back then! Thank you for restoring it! It turned out so very beautifully done!

[@barbaralamoreaux328]

I love that you touched absolutely every part of this piece. I wouldn’t have gone with black stain, but I know this piece will be treasured by its next owner.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you 😊

[@debk9889]

I absolutely love the black!

[@botarakutabi1199]

I agree, a dark brown would have been better in my opinion. But the black is nice too.

[@lilolmecj]

I always favored oak and red tones but last February I refinished a headboard for my daughter. She liked darker tones and I bought a stain called Kona, very dark, almost black. I have stained several items in the meantime, including some cedar planks for an accent wall in my bathroom. I really like it for now, it feels fresh. Maybe in 20 years I’ll think it looks dated. The darker tones can certainly hide things the lighter ones won’t.

[@Peggysmusic]

I agree. He worked so hard on perfecting several small details, but then ended up covering up all that detail work with black. Maybe he just decided that the imperfections were so profound that black was the only solution.

[@paulagrootelaar9005]

So satisfying to watch you bring these pieces back to life! Your patience is tremendous! Absolutely gorgeous.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you so much!

[@helenflouch]

Stunning. Well done. Some black wax on top of the gold will tone it down and tone it in.

[@dianaalexander3934]

You crack me up with your sanding poses! It turned out beautiful.

[@suecox2308]

How lovely to see that beautiful wood revealed again. It looks amazing even before the luxurious new finish!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you very much!

[@WilldoAldone]

Love it. You nailed high end Art Deco. Better than original imo. A lot of "oak" Arts and Craft peices were stained black too at early 1900's.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you 🙏 I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@mollylundquist9145]

I totally agree with your comment, "Better than the original." But I would add the word "far" --- making it "Far better than the original." Yay!

[@joannfuhrer3114]

Beautiful piece. The black is so dramatic. Art Deco is my favorite. It's so elegant. Thanks for sharing your passion with us.

[@KarenL-qt7dy]

I can't even imagine how many hours of work you put into this piece. There is no detail too small for you to tackle. The end result is brilliant!! Your skills, your creativity, and your amazing sense of humor will keep me coming back for more. Another GREAT job!! Well done!

[@Flippingdrawers]

That is very kind of you 🙏🥰

[@chichitex1252]

It makes me happy to know there is someone with the patience and determination to complete a project like this. You made this a piece of art!❤

[@Flippingdrawers]

That’s so kind ❤️

[@anneharvey4572]

Woooow

[@drbettyschueler3235]

Wow! What a difference. Great job restoring this.

[@Khrystyna853]

Wow! Just - Wow! It looks even more art deco with the colour you chose! Thank you for your videos. They are so inspiring! 🐆

[@Laura_Brock]

I didn’t think it was possible to improve on perfection, but your projects just keep getting better! This is another stunner!

[@Flippingdrawers]

That’s very kind ❤️

[@lindapassos]

😍 Wasn't expecting you to go full Black but as always you made the right choice 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Another amazingly beautiful work Jay!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Keep you on your toes Linda 😂

[@stephaniewalters1948]

I absolutely love the way this piece turned out! It is stunning! I love the black. You do fantastic work!

[@sandralevy5965]

Wow! What a difference! Lots of hard work turned this piece into a beauty!

[@earthcandleco]

It’s stunning Jay! You’re a true professional with so much attention to detail. Your editing is spot on! Touch & go without belaboring any one area of the work. I really appreciate that! You’re a gentle man & I’ve said it before, but your videos are so relaxing & that cat has really grown to love you as we all have 🥰

[@Flippingdrawers]

That’s very kind of you. There are 3 different cats by the way 😂 they all come and go. I appreciate the feedback on my edits. I do work hard to make them easy to watch.

[@margaretalbert69]

You r amazing....I love to see old furniture restored!!!!!

[@rhondaivory3009]

Disappointing

[@earthcandleco]

@@rhondaivory3009 What makes you say that? Jay does outstanding work. There’s no need to be negative if his choices aren’t what you would’ve chosen. You have the right to refinish furniture in your own way. This man is a true professional that works very hard & he deserves only praise!

[@kristin4840]

@@rhondaivory3009 I guess you and I are the only ones in the comment section that didn’t like this at all. I about died when he put the black on after all that work!! Don’t care for it at all.

[@annettejones6306]

That's so beautiful 😍 the black and gold screams art deco & opulence. Well done 👏👏👏

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you 😊

[@MrsJones-di8lg]

I love the dark finish with the gold pulls.😊

[@teresag3310]

This is a beautiful piece and you did a great job making it Shine again !!!

[@euchrideucrow1970]

I have waited so long for someone to risk giving an Art Deco piece the ebony treatment and finally it happens! What an absolute triumph. I really hope you do this again. I’m sure it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but it sure is mine.

[@christyparr1563]

I wonder what it would look like with cherrywood detailing. I’ve actually seen it done once before and it looked great.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Wow, awesome 🤩 glad you enjoyed it

[@karenbourke1704]

Ditto, Euchrid Eucrow. It's a gutsy move that paid off. I feel inspired to try it when the opportunity arises.

[@chandarussell]

I love Art Deco furniture and design. You certainly hit the nail on the head with the colour. It’s very dramatic just like Art Deco. Well done.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@user-fh7sf7zm1i]

Шикарная работа , Вы великий мастер и художник , смотреть все Ваши произведения искусства одно удовольствие , удачи Вам во всём .

[@sandybaisley81]

Gorgeous! The dark stain is perfect for the style.

[@margaretraines7776]

I think it's beautiful ,and the black stain just makes it stand out ,plus the gold leaf adds the right pop ...great job !

[@dshey6802]

That black stain is a winner!! Now the buffet really looks art deco-ish. The gold leaf on the hardware is very elegant. The oil finish is classy. All in all a truly beautiful transformation. The lines of that piece, its construction were so worth all your effort--and I know you put in so many hours sanding. You have become an artist, Jay.

[@paranihiaanaru4414]

You said it all for me - what I would have liked to say. Thank you & thank you Jay, beautiful work again

[@Flippingdrawers]

That’s very kind. Thanks ❤️

[@judithburke1539]

He even got to lay down on the job and read a book! Seriously, the buffet turned out spectacularly 😮!!! I'm hoping that you decided to keep it for yourself! 👍🤗😃

Fantastic work! The gold leaf hardware made this piece so special.

[@kayerin5749]

I wonder if the gold leaf is a problem to clean, if it wears off easily?

[@wendybell422]

Fantastic anybody would be proud to have that in their house x😊

[@imaginationingrained]

I was liking the natural look until you changed it to black, then I was like “ HELL YEAH!!” Excellent job!! watching you has really made me want to tackle my dresser cleanup and an armoire topper for it

[@sharontrujillo]

Ditto....although, I would've kept the natural...the finish is fantastic.

[@Flippingdrawers]

That sums up how I felt about the process 😂

[@karenbourke1704]

Absolutely! I hope you enjoy tackling your dresser clean up and armoire topper.

[@VtotheG2885]

I laughed out loud at your sanding. 😂 Pretty much how I feel with every project. I distract myself with true crime in my headphones. This piece is stunning and your videos are some of my favorites. Never stop!!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Nice, glad you enjoyed it 😉

[@shereemorgan1430]

I love the deco era, furniture pieces were so beautiful. Your work is phenomenal!

[@brianvittachi6869]

It looks great. You have saved that piece from the scrap heap and given it a purpose.

[@karenhollingsworth5180]

The black stain was a brilliant choice! Looks gorgeous

[@phyllisspringfield7705]

You bring joy to my heart when I see the expertise that you have redoing these beautiful pieces. So many "furniture artists" scuff sand,slap some paint on them and call it finished. It makes me sad to see beautiful pieces done this way . These pieces are the history of the past eras and need to be treated as such. Thank you for your patience to do so.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you so much 😊

[@cherylnormandeau2871]

I thinks it’s my favourite piece that you have done!

[@patriciahollis9803]

Stunning! I love how meticulous, and creative you are in restoring these beautiful old pieces. I'd love every one of them in my home 😊❤️

Oh yes, she's one elegant lady now!! 😍 fantastic work as always!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thanks Liz ❤️

[@elizabethwoodley4340]

Gorgeous transformation! I can definitely see a flapper sitting on top of this piece during a wild party in 1922 with a cocktail in her hand 🍸

[@Flippingdrawers]

Awesome 🤩 thanks for watching

Enjoy watching! Much talent You have...looks really nice!❤😊

Lovely piece. You did her proud. I loved the black vase for the style shot. Very appropo..

[@heatherstorm2483]

I so appreciate your absolute attention to detail. Love also your humour about the dull parts. You really do a fabulous job and it is a joy to behold. Keep up the good work.

[@shelleythornton6938]

I love it. It looks so nice now. The other finish was so orange looking. The darker suites it much better.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Wonderful! Jay your skills and patience have given that piece a new long life!

Thanks 😊

[@wendyfarnsworth3125]

Absolutely stunning I too agree I don’t think I would have went with the black stain but your piece , your choice. It was still stunning

[@ca6177]

Goodness, it turned out beautifully!

[@lindahill7315]

That is stunning. I like the idea of the gold left

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thanks so much 😊

[@tiffanyjack6095]

This is a beautifully done piece! Thank you for the entertaining sanding video portion, can't tell you how many times I wanted to do that while redoing a simple hope chest I had bought from an estate sale. Someone had thought to put 1960's wallpaper on the inside of the chest. Removing that was the bane of my existence. Many times I wondered if there was a way to get a robot in there to sand it for me. Lol

[@Flippingdrawers]

I know the feeling 😂 thanks for watching

[@shirleyadams2890]

The end result is stunning.

[@lindacostain6139]

your makeover is absolutely beautiful.

[@aok2727]

Jay, that was a lot of work. Thank you for keeping its elegant lines with this lovely finish.

[@Flippingdrawers]

You’re most welcome ❤️

[@diannepoteet305]

You did a great job. You are so thorough and precise - marks of a true craftsman. The piece looks beautiful.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you very much!

[@julierobertson148]

The work you did on this piece really emphasizes the range of knowledge needed to accomplish such an astonishing outcome. Without understanding what art deco was about, even with your outstanding woodworking skills, you couldn't have achieved such a remarkable result. Another triumph!

[@dannyhalfmann959]

Stunning! Great job. Easy to follow along.

[@rachealsmith5138]

I was unsure about the black, because you can’t really see the grain at first, but when you do the close up pictures you can see the beautiful grain. Very wonderful piece and it does look very rich! Take care!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Awesome 🤩 thank you

[@marcusgregoryrichardson22]

Just want to say i have been watching you for years and i really appreciate the attention to detail you bring! much love to you and your family 🥰

[@Flippingdrawers]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jaimeochoa7256]

What an improvement! Making a decision on what tone, light or dark, medium?....Then you decide and voila! You have breathed new life into it and you are proud of it....some may agree on the tone, some will not, we can not please everyone, but what counts is that you are happy with the end result and we are delighted you shared your love for restoration with us....Thank you!😊

[@rbirkheimer59]

Whew!, now that screams Art Deco. It's so .so beautiful. Now don't let your head explode when I say this but, everything you do is amazing. The best channel for furniture makeovers. God Bless, Rebekah

Very thoughtfully restored. I love it . A far cry from nursing .

[@donnacronan2323]

Absolutely beautiful! Love the black.

[@Irene-gq4jr]

Epic restoration. You've certainly achieved the opulence intended, although I'm not sure I can forgive you for staining that beautiful wood so dark, especially having gone to such great lengths to unveil it! That said, I did blacken two dining chairs that were beyond salvation despite hours of sanding, so I'm not innocent. I always learn a lot from your videos - including where I've gone wrong in the past. Your patience and attention to detail are enviable. Thanks again for sharing your work with us.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thanks for watching

[@susancooper8712]

I was distraught when you started to put black stain on your lovely sanded wood..😭. But as soon as you put the shine onto the dull black it re-lit my attention😍. I should of had more faith in your eye for detail for these pieces that you lovingly restore. Your finished item had me back to being in awe of your artistic skills and fan of your work. It looked stunning, well done and thank you 🤗👍

[@liahurst8575]

A lot of talent and hard work gone into that piece.

Wow! That's a showstopper!!! I already loved the "before", but you truly captured the art deco style in the "after". I love the carvings and lines of it. What a beauty. 🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤 Your humor came out in this video, and kitty is always a bonus. 🙂

[@krystynebartnicki3662]

Another exceptional work of art 💥💥💥 I also love your logo that you attach to those rejuvenated pieces 🌟🌟 it must have resonated with you when I mentioned in a previous comment an aspect of your soul experience in Bavaria as a master craftsman with wood 😇😇 i love your videos, your humour, & I also love the cats who come to bask in your good energy 💚🌈💜

[@ladyd54]

Yes, you captured the Art Deco Design🎉

[@debk9889]

So exquisite! Love the black choice, the oil finish was beautiful on this piece. The gold leaf really elevated this. Love your complete work as well, such as cleaning every part, removing pieces to get at every nook and cranny, beautifying the unseen parts, now I do that from watching you, but I'm an amateur by far comparatively. You've outdone yourself, this is a masterpiece!
