Bringing a doomed antique back from the brink.

Have I gone too far this time? I scooped this antique settee for free and could barely convince John to help me load it into the car. Truly on its last legs, you won't believe how bad it gets...and then how good. 🍃

This is awesome! You are so creative. You saved this from the landfill and literally gave it a new life!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thank you, that is so great to hear! 😊

[@diamondzfromtheroughDIY]

I would never have even thought of this idea. I'd love to get one to reupholster in deep colored velvet, like cobalt or red, emerald or purple... Gothic beauty!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Oooo yes - I can see it....so awesome

[@karenokeane6461]

Was SO glad to see a new Furniture Fable in my feed today. :) The bench is stunning. I vividly recall that succulent console project from last year....and it's great to see those similar principals applied to a unique piece which very much deserves to be saved. That was a fun 'watch'.....and am grateful for the new product endorsement---can absolutely use a high quality food -grade 'all purpose' restoring compound. Thank you, Andy.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Oh thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed the living console fable too, and yes - I really like Odie's Oil, would recommend checking them out.

[@jimhorner335]

Previous projects have demonstrated skills and creativity, this magnificent launch of season six adds a new attribute, courage! The fortitude to take this one on must lie in confidence of skills and creativity. What a incredibly unique and satisfying piece of art this is.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, thank you so much! Not sure if it was courage or foolishness...😅...but absolutely thrilled you see the art in this one. 😊🍃

[@anitamitchell3452]

Happy Birthday Andy ... You gave yourself the gift that keeps on giving. I love that!! It's beautiful.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Many thanks, and love how you put that!!

[@Shooshoobella7]

Loved the hilarious opening scene, and what an amazing transformation! I absolutely love it and wouldn't change a thing. So glad to see you back and I hope you had a lovely, happy birthday, Andy!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Yay!! Many thanks, and so glad you enjoyed the dream sequence! 😊💗🙏

[@colleenfillian9516]

A truly exquisite piece! The Odie’s (and, of course, much hard work on your part😉) brought back the original, glorious luster to this antique masterpiece! Remarkable workmanship! Thanks for sharing with all of us. So glad you’re back and happy birthday, Andi!❤🎉🎉❤

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thank you so much! 😀 So great to be back!!

[@aryanahartwell3801]

Loved the 'vibe' of the '70's coming through this fable! A very creative transformation of this old piece. Love it.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Yay, thanks so much! 😎🍃

[@melanieahrens6739]

Yayyyyyy! Hope you enjoyed your summer-so glad to see a new episode!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thanks so much!!

[@RitaVernoy]

Me too😊

[@lscalmanini]

Amen! I have missed you soooo much!

[@pamsheets632]

Wow, wow, wow.... absolutely gorgeous! I would have never thought of that! Very creative and love the plants. They just add such beauty to the whole thing! Andy you are an amazing story teller and an awesome artist! Glad you're back we've all missed you very much! Thank you for sharing your expertise with us! Stunning job! 😊❤

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Yay, thank you so much!! So glad to hear that, many thanks! 😊💗🙏

[@jeffvenables4845]

Andy, such a beautiful project! All of that work (& pain) paid off-the wood and carving just shone. After seeing the original condition of the settee, I do believe you could repair, restore, or re-imagine anything! Excellence all around. ~Cathy

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, thank you very much, Cathy! So wonderful to hear that. 😊💗🙏

[@barbaralamoreaux328]

So glad you used Odie’s Oil on this-the wood is so pretty! I had no idea where you were going with this settee, but it’s genius. It will look so great on your porch.❤❤

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thanks so much, Barbara - I agree! Yes, loving the Odie's Oil. 😊💗

[@michellestout8341]

This was really great! Drea's song was catchy! It was nice to see John and you working on this project from start to finish together ❤️ and you are a true professional! Idk how you didn't have a breakdown when the bench started crumbling in your hands as you deconstructed it (I would have!)...the nails would have just sent me over the edge 😂 Thus is gorgeous and you deserve to give yourself this beautiful gift.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thank you so much!! Yes, that was a tough chapter in this saga....lol. Many thanks, so glad you liked it!

[@jennifergaskins1092]

Oh my heart!! THIS is by far one of THE coolest transformations I have ever seen...and I thought I loved the last succulent piece! Lol Your creativity and imagination is amazing! Beginning with your story ideas and continuing right down to the actual piece! Did I miss what was around the succulents on the upper part? Is it moss? Also how do you water and keep them alive now? Sooo many questions!? 🥰

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, thank you so much, Jennifer!! So awesome to hear this. Yes - I did add a little moss to cover the wire while the succulents are growing, and when they need to be watered, I can just unhook them, lay them flat, water them, and then hook them back in!

[@spotterofgold]

That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Fairycore vibes, for sure. The clock addition is genius. And then there's the dream sequence--wow! Love all of it!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Hooray! Many thanks - so great to hear! 😊💗🙏

[@RitaVernoy]

What an amazing project. Love it so much!😊

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thanks so much!! 😊

[@susantortorici3409]

Absolutely stunning. What a marvelous second life for such a once elegant piece of furniture. Well done!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thank you very much! Lovely to hear that! 😊💗🙏

[@diamondzfromtheroughDIY]

You need a staple Lifter! That thing is a LIFE SAVER for removing upholstery staples and nails!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

SO true!! 😅

[@jillgaddis3889]

Happy Birthday and what a gift too!.....WOW!!! Loved you were able to save the bench and now a plant bench. Surprised the wood color came through. This is a true furniture fable.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thanks so much, and I agree - one for the books. 😅

[@fleurjardin1012]

So glad that your new season has started and with a bang! I was really skeptical about your plans to turn the settee into a planter but it is the perfect use for the piece. I love it!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, that's so great to hear, thank you so much! 😊💗🙏🍃

[@cachampagne1champagne373]

So happy to see so back!!!! Love the bench with all its details. You saved it and brought it back to life. Can't wait for your next video!!!!!!! Happy Birthday!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Hooray, thanks so much!! 😊💗🙏

[@rosaliefunk1629]

Gorgeous! This is truly a creative work of art. My feeling is that it could be sold for a few thousand dollars. Happy Birthday! You are a gem! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

WOW, and thank you so much! So encouraging that you too see the art that I see. 🙏 Many many thanks! 😊💗

[@glorianelson9538]

I was totally transfixed when I saw the settee, rot, dirt and everything. It reminded me of something from the "Life with father" movie, set in the early 1900's. It amazes me that it was left to rot (it didn't which speaks of quality we don't have anymore...) outside. I was: "Look at that" with you! when I saw the springs and the (possibly) horsehair. The weaving was amazing, and the cording tying it all together had me holding my breath. I lived in Europe for some years, and I bought a number of antique pieces some of which I restored after attending restoration courses. If I had it redone as a settee, I'd priced it rather high. I was under the impression that you would be opening an Etsy shop... I was so looking forward to being able to buy some pieces from you! Great to have you back Andy!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, thanks so much for this! Ah yes, the Etsy shop - one more thing on my list, I promise!

[@heatherannekennedy9368]

Oh my - it's gorgeous!! What a transformation! I'm glad Drea inspired/terrified you into tackling this bench! So unique and creative!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thanks so much! And yes - it was a tad terrifying! 😎🎧😂

[@KateCompton1]

Ohmygoodness Andy! Never ever would I attempt to save it from the trash! Your vision and amazing talent turned this into a masterpiece. It’s beautiful Andy! I’ve been on a short vacation and I was so excited to see you posted. Wow!! Congratulations on being the furniture queen boss. Your introduction was superb and the highlight for what was in the garage. One must note in all honesty, you totally crack me up! 👏🏻❤️👏🏻❤️👏🏻❤️👏🏻❤️

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Yahoo!! Thanks so much, so great to hear - and wow, I think I love my new title of "furniture queen boss"!! 😂🙏💗

[@christinefeucht8668]

OH MY!!! It’s lovely and your dedication to get your bench complete leaves me in awe

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thank you so much!!

[@marynapier2007]

What a wonderful redo! Well worth the effort for sure. Happy to see you back. Happy Birthday!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thank you very much!

[@donnapollock8330]

Andy, it is amazing! Beautiful and great work, as always! I think this is your most amazing work ever. Happy Birthday and enjoy your present. You deserve it! ❤🎉🎂🍾🥂

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, thank you very much! 😊💗🙏🍃

[@albertalmond4658]

Dear Andy..I am 83 yrs old and started watching you by chance. Love every episode so far. The main thing is you have inspired me! We live in Southern California, and last year sold our big house and moved into a mobile home, 1/4 of a mile from the ocean. Well, I have been repainting the furniture from old dark wood to bright spring. If you are interested....I got a painting idea colors from Pintrest and went to work. Very slowly, but repainted the china cabinet, two side cupboards, and a small coffee bar cabinet. Every thing matches and looks like it was professional designed. Don't look too close , and remember I am 83 yr. old. I am very proud of my work and I would like for you to see it. I will post some pictures (if I can find someone who can show me how to do that HA HA)

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

WOW!! Thank you so much for sharing that - now you have inspired me! I would love to see your work...if you have Instagram, you can send me picture there through messaging. So thrilled you are enjoying the fables, thanks again! 😍

[@annelarson160]

So let's get out the thesaurus--visionary, imaginative, creative, clever, genius, original, resourceful...the list goes on! From the fun intro to the gross fabric to the finished product, this was a joy from start to finish! You still have your juju girl! And as a plant lover, I thought your repurposing put it over the top! Thanks for PERSISTING and producing this beautiful result! So fun! Congratulations on another fine episode and project!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

WOW!!! Many thanks - I am honored!!

[@TamarLitvot]

How wonderful and completely unexpected! And I love the way you brought the wood -- with all the wonderful carvings -- back to life. It was in such dismal shape and now it's alive! Literally! p.s. I would have been terrified of removing all that old disintegrating upholstery.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thanks so much!! Yes, for sure that was a bit terrifying! 😅

[@lynnharrell9598]

Happy Birthday! That was awesome. Very creative vision for what looked like a lost cause.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thank you very much, on both fronts!

[@jeannel1065]

I probably would have deserted the project when the pieces started falling apart. I’m so glad you stuck with it. It is beautiful! Thanks for saving 100+ years of history from the landfill.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Yes, I definitely thought about it! 😅 Thanks so much. 💗🙏

[@caroledwards1182]

Nice to see you again Andy and I hope you had a restful summer.. I like what you decided to do with the bench, very creative and it looks great. I Love that you brought the wood back to life. When I saw it wet during cleaning I thought how gorgeous the wood looked so I love that you didn't paint it (your console table was pretty though in that soft green).

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Yay, thanks so much! Yes - I was so happy to keep this one natural and let that timber sing! 😊💗🙏

[@diamondzfromtheroughDIY]

I have been so anxiously awaiting this video!! What a beautiful piece!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Yay, thank you so much!

[@jeanettepaynter1183]

I don’t even know what to say, this was fantastic! So glad to see you back. The opening of the video was creative and funny, enjoyed the whole thing. Happy Birthday!🎉

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thank you so much!! Great to hear, truly appreciate it! 😊💗🙏

[@katherineharper-sj4ys]

Andy, this is so unique. Such a wonderful way to literally give new life to an old piece. Thank you for sharing.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Hooray, thanks so much!

[@hlucienne]

So glad to have you back! I LOVE Eastlake. I have a beautiful Eastlake dresser. I think this might be my VERY FAVORITE makeover! LOVE IT!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Yay! Thank you so much!! So wonderful to hear that. 😊💗🙏

[@sheliaberry877]

It looks FANTASTIC! I never would have been able to envision such a unique and beautiful piece of art and flower "display garden". God bless, 🤩🥰

Thank you so much!

HOLEEEE COWWWWW!!!!! Coming in with a BREATHTAKING series start!!!!! I just can’t even 😳 I am crying about the springs! Those are SO hard to find!!!! I NEED them LOL! This is just beyond any words!!!!!!

If only she could tell her story. WOW what a beautiful piece. Good work!!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thank you very much, and I agree!

WOW. The succulent console was a favorite but this one is over the top. Great rescue!!!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, thanks so much!! 🍃💗🍃

[@DiamondDustAndVerdigris]

Happy birthday! This is so cool! Definitely not anything I would have thought of. Honestly, I probably would have run away from something that challenging. Love the way your brain works. 😁

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thanks so much!!

[@Jendarhan64]

That is AMAZING. I had no idea how you were going to incorporate a succulent garden into this bench, but you did it and managed to keep the spirit of the original item intact. It’s just beautiful! ❤❤❤❤

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, thanks so much, Jenny!! 💗

[@jeaninedrylie1499]

It's a good thing your intro was so entertaining, because I might have passed on watching this one once I saw the subject. It was so revolting that I'm convinced only someone with a strong vision could have ever attempted it. It was truly a most stunning transformation and one that I know you will greatly cherish.

[@udalimb384]

❤You're a brave woman. Braving the wrath of die hard protect all things old crowd. I figure you've rescued it from the trash. Great job.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Lol - yes, ironically, I often get scolded for saving something on its way to the landfill if I alter it in any way. But that's ok - I just hear people "caring loudly at me". 😂 Thanks so much!

[@spongebobsqueeze]

Anyone else would have held on to it for a couple five years and then tearfully sent it to the dump. Tis beautiful!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Many thanks!!

[@ruthcarter8895]

Hoooray! You are back! So happy!😊👋🏼. I did not anticipate a planter! No wonder your hands a worn and tired! It looks FAB! Bravo

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Yay, thanks so much, Ruth!!

[@patriciamaierson6500]

Very creative, lovely living art. The clock really pulls it together. It seems to bring you great joy breathing life and renewal into pieces.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thanks so much, so glad you liked that clock touch! And yes - it's truly a passion for me. :)

[@bback4078]

It turned out so fabulous! While the end product was totally unexpected, it is beautiful and whimsical. I didn't catch it it will live in a covered area- I can't help but hope so to protect that antique frame! Kudos on saving this one from the landfill!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thanks so much!! Yes, in a protected area for now, and will bring in when the weather gets cold and wet. 😊

[@karengamboa6524]

Love the redo. It gave me some idea for my grandmother's settee that is falling apart but could have a new life!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Oh I'm so glad! Thanks so much!!

[@paulsrosalita]

Your imagination and creativity amaze me. You tackle some incredible projects that have inspired me to keep my eyes, heart and brain open to think beyond the obvious. You’re a true artist.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, thank you so much! What an incredible thing to hear, truly appreciate it. 🙏💗

[@lisagaither3140]

I WAS hoping for upholstery but that's hard, especially the hand-tied springs. Lovely alternative! And yes, you saved it from the landfill, at least the frame, anyway. Great job, Andy!!!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Totally get that, and thanks so much!! 😊💗🙏

[@judiemarshall9708]

Amazing and what a unique way to save an old and very beautiful piece. Well done!!

The living bench is such an innovative way to save that Eastlake beauty! Brava, Andy! And BTW, money can't buy happiness, but it can buy succulents! LOL! Happy birthday to you!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

So true - you put that perfectly! 🍃💗 Thanks so much, Brenda!!

[@emiliegurley8806]

Absolutely beautiful! I have several Eastlake pieces. An upholstered chair, four dining chairs with cane seats and a dresser with a marble top. They’re quite common to find here in GA. Not that many people here seem to like them but I think they are amazing! What a great idea to do the planter. Your work is fabulous darling! 😊

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Hooray, thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed, Dahling! 🤓💗

[@JacWarner]

It’s fascinating to see how such old pieces were constructed. It would have been a gorgeous piece in its day. And it is once more.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

I agree - it was very educational for me! Many thanks. 😊🙏

There is NO ONE like you in this realm. Just WOW.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, thank you so much! That is high praise, I truly appreciate it! 😊🙏♥️

[@brendatomlinson]

I’m blown away! You came up with a creative plan and executed it beautifully. Odie’s Oil is the other hero in this story. It rejuvenated the wood beyond my imagination.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Yay! Thanks so much, Brenda - and I agree with you about Odie's Oil! 😊

You're BAAAAAACK! Drea has become so incredibly groooooovy!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Lol, yes she has! 😎🎧

[@susangriffin-byrne8393]

I love what you did with this. I would like to see it nestled under a big tree with dappled sunlight in a back yard garden. I have to admit that I got excited to see what you were going to do with this because you are so creative and I had no idea what to expect. Sooooo.....If you ever get bored with what it is now (a beautiful interesting succulent antique plant holder) I hope you go wild with color on the wood and fantastical fabric! Yaaay, Andy!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thanks so much, and I loooooove that description! 🌤️🌳 And it's so funny because as much as I love what it is now, my other idea sounds very much like your suggestion - to find a fantastic fabric and do a punchy color combo!

[@patriciastrassner4883]

No pun intended; YOU NAILED IT! Growing up we had the frame of an antique seatee. Nothing as ornate or old as yours. Springs exposed. My sister-in-law restored it. Wish i had pictures of it to share. Nothing as ornate elegant as yours but beautiful.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

LOL - I LOVE that!! 😂 And thanks for sharing - yes, I think many of us had something like this in our families. Would love to see what your sister in law did!

[@cinder8290]

You are certainly clever, I never know what to expect when you take on a piece of furniture. Happy birthday!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thanks so much!!

[@andreatrepasburgess8520]

That was intense watching you take apart the old parts … the wood detail is beautiful. I love odies oil . So worth the cost of a jar because It last so long . But holy cow quite the transformation.. amazing creativity and well beyond my imagination. Love it

Many thanks, and yes - really liking Odie's!

Hi Andy, I'm always glad of a new fable. The dream sequences were fun and fascinating. The piece itself is glorious and gorgeous, so happy to see this piece in its beauty. The plants are fun and interesting. I hope still that the piece will be upholstered some day. Happy belated birthday! As always you are fabulous! Cheryl

Yes! 🍃🤓 Thank you so much! 💗🙏

[@marthazan9732]

Also- horsehair. Rather than chest hair. Maybe 19th century Eastlake? Such an excellent project and result! Happy Birthday🤩

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Lol - yes! 😂 I agree - late 19th century.

[@chrisdimopoulos3768]

This is one of my all time favorites by you. Very outside the bos creativity. I would have happily donated my succulents but alas we live thousands of miles apart.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, thank you - great to hear!

[@pollygiblin8311]

That wood was so beautiful! Have to say, you also really stepped up the production value with that opening dream sequence! One of the many things I enjoy about your channel is that I never know quite what I'm going to see but I know it will be entertaining!

Amazing, Andy! As usual you inspire me. I have a table here that would be a great succulent garden. This bench gave me El Dorado vibes. It's magnificent. The Odies oil was a great addition, I love the stuff. This bench sure needed an Odies Oil spa day! Congratulations on six seasons of Furniture Fables! And a happy happy birthday!
