Dealing with a FLIPPING FAILURE. Redoing my own work, hoping to make it more sellable.

I thought it was so cute! The 80's tv stand that I converted to a modern nursery nightstand just won't sell. I could let it ride awhile longer...but I think instead I'll redesign my own redesign, and see if I can come up with something a bit more sellable...

You did not fail, ever! If I were a young mother, I would have built an entire nursery around that piece. The next piece is great as well.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Oh wow, so great to hear that, thank you so much!! 😊♥️

[@roxanneklafehn8516]

I loved it, too !!!

[@crazycatlady61]

I agree, if I was thirty years younger and had a child and wasn’t living in Australia…l would have totally bought that piece!

[@oilybaroness]

I have to agree! I'm also well past childrearing stage and living in Australia, but I loved it. However, I love the new look, too.

[@maureenb.8517]

I loved both makeovers. Just goes to show you how versatile an “outdated” piece of furniture can be. You have such a great imagination and skill in reworking all your furniture pieces. 😊

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, many thanks!! So great to hear. 😊♥️

[@jessicamichalski6253]

This video is great because like a lot of your videos, it gives people ideas about how to repurpose a piece that is no longer useful in their current stage of life, rather than throwing it out and buying new.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

I love that you said that - I meant to make that point as well. Thanks so much!! 😊♥️

[@lizahernandez950]

I'm surprised the first makeover didn't sell. I thought it was really cute. The bunny stencil was my favorite part. The second makeover is very pretty, especially the wallpaper, that really elevates the piece. I hope it sells.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

I loved those bunnies too...sigh. Thanks so much, fingers crossed! ♥️

[@AKLight2008]

I absolutely loved the baby blue and this new version.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, thank you! ♥️

[@leeannoneal4847]

I loved the blue nursery version, it was darling 😊. But the new version is sophisticated and can fit into a variety of decors. I like the color! Well done!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Great to hear, thanks so much! ♥️

[@ariannaschafer3326]

Great redo, kinda dark and moody. Loved it as the nursery table too. Amazing the difference between the two outcomes on the same piece of furniture. Enjoyed this makeover as well. Thank you.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@dannakinnaman7115]

Wow! Your custom mixed color against the richly stained wood looks so nice! Good job, as always.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Great to hear, thank you! ♥️

[@joanhughes3693]

The redo seems to suit that piece of furniture. I like the new color. And points for being ahead of the curve on the wallpaper choice. 😊. I really loved your humor about the “Failure” at the start of this video. You really had me laughing. Thanks for brightening my day!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Yay, thanks so much! ♥️

Dearest Drea, you are such a spicy meatball dahling. You know you are the star and keep us coming back. The pool pad made me snicker. You're just the bee's knees.

So great to hear, thanks so much!! 🍸😊♥️

[@annhughes2696]

Your imagination and creativity are limitless. The baby room side table was adorable but the bar on wheels is perfect in every way. You'll have no problem selling it. Its another successful design original !

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, many thanks!! ♥️

If I had a baby boy I would have loved the original nightstand. This one is nice too.

Thanks so much!

[@pfles1]

Love the color! It’s very close to one of my favorite Melange paints - Restoration Bronze. Very nice redo. 👍

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

I realized later that I think that very color was in the back of my mind when I was mixing this one!! 😂 Many thanks. ♥️

[@HobbyHopperJoanne]

I love both makeovers. It's hard overcome that cartoon bubble style. I think the bar has a bigger market.

[@debsmith2269]

The new look is great but I'm surprised the original pretty blue didn't sell. I actually prefer the blue bunnies, but I really hope this new, more sofisticated version proves to be a financial success. Good luck 👍.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thanks so much! 🐇♥️

[@lisalally]

I’m sorry you had to do so much work, but I think it’s a triumph! Im guessing many of us have pieces at home that are painted, and it’s hard to see that piece in a different way…but this really helps show how drastic just paint colour can change a piece. It doesn’t have to be in dire need of a new look, to give it a whole new look. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

So true - it really can change the look completely. Many thanks! ♥️

[@joesmay]

Loved the colour - and castors, yehh, especially when you’re in your late 70’s, definitely helps in moving furniture.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Lol, and your 50's!! Thanks so much. 😊♥️

[@dansetzer1454]

Cyd in MD. Your little buddy was like THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER...you just couldn't get him out the door. I hope the makeover does the trick. The first iteration was adorable too.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Lol, thanks so much, Cyd! ♥️

[@beckymcdonald8040]

Andy, I don't believe it was a failure. There just wasn't the right discerning mom to buy it. I like this version as well. Possibly because I put casters on almost anything I can.😂 Great job both times❣️

Hooray for castors! 👍 Thanks so much! ♥️

[@beckymcdonald8040]

@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy I know that's right. Thanks to the woman who invented the wheel! 😉

[@phoenixfurniturestudio]

I can’t believe that gorgeous baby piece didn’t sell!! However, the grown up version is also lovely and I really like the bronze colour you mixed up. It’s probably going to appeal to a wider audience now?! 🤩🎊😍

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thank you so much! Fingers crossed!

[@altestevondrei]

I thought this little nightstand was beyond adorable! I think it didn't sell because it was a nightstand. I've thought back and can't recall having a nightstand in my nursery setup. I'd bet if redid this exact same look on a dresser, changing table or storage wardrobe it would sell in no time!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Great insight, thanks!

[@ginacrusco234]

Not for you the half-measure! Where others might have tweaked, you completely re-envisioned. I love the custom color and applaud how you gave it a chance to grow on you.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Yay, thanks so much! So glad you liked that color. 🤓🤎

[@marypaquette8705]

The "Proof will be in the buying"😊 I love it, it looks like it's wrapped in green leather, the finish is wonderful😊❤

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thank you! 😊

[@ambernicholson6307]

I loved the sweet little blue nightstand but the moody bar cart is probably easier to sell. I LOVE the wallpaper. I think William Morris style wallpaper should always be on trend! It’s timeless

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

I agree, and thanks so much! ♥️

[@stefaniedee2969]

Wasn't sure about the new color until it was finished, but it turned out great and really went with the pretty new bird and berries paper. I still love the original baby blue, "where the wild things are" nightstand but I like that you showed us a new approach to the same piece.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thanks so much, Stefanie! ♥️

[@NicoleSilva-ci6li]

I LOVED the first design and wished I was having a baby just to need a piece like that. Definitely not a fail.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thanks so much, and totally get that! ♥️

[@jodyyniguez4412]

It looks great Andy! Since you’re not quite finished with this piece I would like to suggest that you extend the back all the way to the top so you can’t see the wall behind it or any lamp cords etc… love you big❤️

I can't believe the cute little nursery theme didn't sell, I thought it was adorable and I loved the pastel color theme of it. That said, the new version is also very nice.

I really liked the nursery table.😢. But, you do what you have to do. I did like the bar chest also, but not quite as much. I have lived with dark walnut furniture for too many years, so any wood that is even close to that is too dark for me. But, that is just me. This piece is also very nice. I’m sure this will sell-bars are very much in style. I do like your color mixture. It is right in style for those MCMs. You have very good taste in wallpaper, I must say! I love both of your choices!

I think filling the gaps with bondo elevated the quality of this piece. The nursery version was cute but, since my need for baby furniture ended decades ago, I like this grown up version better. I LOVE the color. I am not a fan of the wall paper, but that is not a criticism. Different people like different things. I truly do like the cart. Both versions were win-win.

I love both treatments! I retired as a quality improvement manager in EMS. I taught teams how to use small scale testing to improve performance and processes.

I was coming to say the same thing. Unfortunately, the piece, even finished, reads 'Oak and More' from the 80's thanks to not only the doors, but the 'roundness' of the front pieces.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Ah, gotcha. 👍 Thanks!

[@DiamondDustAndVerdigris]

I do believe Drea has gotten more creative in her "encouragement." LOL That was hysterical. I loved the nursery side table, honestly. So sad that it didn't sell 😢 Gotta admit I was a little skeptical of the bronze color as well. But it did turn out, just as you said. Love the wallpaper and those retro-look casters! I wonder what the piece would have looked like if you had filled in those inset "pulls" and replace them with a metallic knob or something. But that would have been a lot of Bondo (and probably a lot of curing time). Well done, entertaining, and educational, as usual. Cheers! -S

I liked both color schemes and papers. Your custom color looked great. For me, the problem is the piece itself.

[@diamondzfromtheroughDIY]

No failure in art! What have we learned from Bob Ross?? 😊 I have been incredibly stubborn; I REFUSE to redo a piece, unless of course I see a way to improve it (spots I may have missed, finishing details I didn't know before, etc) so sometimes it takes 3+ years to sell. But it always DOES! Just waiting for the right customer to find me. In the meantime I live with my "failures" as art in my own home! Luckily I'm not counting on this as my main income; otherwise I wouldn't have this luxury! Love what you did!

So true!! ♥️ Bob Ross! Many many thanks. 😊

I actually liked both versions on it, but yes, the first one might be more of a niche market. :) Everything you do is beautiful

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, thanks so much! ♥️

No failures here! I LOVED the first piece and am surprised it did not sell. 😔 You did a nice job on the bar cart, but I’m not an olive green person (it did not read bronze on the tv. 🤷🏻‍♀️) The nursery piece was dreamy, though! That’s the kind of piece you would build a room around ! ❤

Thank you! 😊 And totally get that about the color. ♥️

Just today, I saw your video on that coffee table that you did the paint pour over and the mess. I think the table turned out great. Maybe next time, place the piece of furniture in a kids' kidde pool and the mess will be contained. Your video was cute, Ellen

Oh thank you! Glad you enjoyed, and great tip. 😊♥️

I liked the bar. I had to laugh about the new color. It was just what I was thinking, but it worked.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Lol, thanks!
