You can always tell play fighting from the real thing -- no vocalizations or hair standing on end, ears forward, deliberate engagement in the "fight" by both cats. Yeah, they're having fun.

I Had found "Flipping Drawers" long before I found Mack at "Midwest Magic Cleaning" Another one I just found, she may not be for everyone, but she is "Vivian Tries", she does the Dollar Tree dupes to Brand stores and sees if they are better or worse.

[@hazmania]

Just in case you don’t know, the green “fabric” is baize, used for cutlery drawers (& billiard table tops)! It’s usually wool or cotton, with a felt like finish. It helps stop cutlery (especially silver & silver plated cutlery) from becoming scratched & tarnished. (On billiard tables it helps the balls roll really smoothly). Love watching your videos, turning old & unloved pieces into beautiful & desirable ones. Best wishes from Annie, in Cornwall.🙂🌸

[@joannekaiser1380]

Also used for soundproofing, separating the servants downstairs, from upstairs.

I have read, but not done myself, that a heat gun can soften the adhesive on that green hell.

[@laineymcd4074]

@@trudyeby464 I have seen someone use a heat gun to fairly easily remove baize, but that baize was still reasonably thick. How well it would work on the thin disintegrating baize I don't know.

I laughed so hard when Mando knocked that thing into the drawer! He’s not much help, but he’s an adorable supervisor. I have a slight weakness for art deco pieces. The carved detail on the doors of this piece is interesting. Chocolate and coffee are ALWAYS a good mix! The gold wax and hardware is just beautiful. I swear I could see that wood breathe a big sigh of relief after the restoration, because it looked smothered under all of that paint.

[@melanienewberry2805]

Lately I have to rewind several times to watch the process. Why? I start watching Mondo and forget all about the furniture redo. He’s soooo cute and absolutely beautiful.

Eu adoro, nada como um móvel em madeira tratada na sua cor original. Pessoas estragam móveis pintando-os das mais diversas cores em nome de uma tal de decoração... Triste costume.

[@freedomofreligion3248]

It's just a style. I'm old enough to recall when EVERYONE paid reverent homage to "real wood". Wood is beautiful, in some iterations, but, it's not sacred or anything. Yet, I remember, in the early 70's "real wood" was a wonder. I think because there was so much concrete, steel, and plastic in the 60's. The Beatles' did a song named, "Norwegian Wood". One of my favorites -- I adored that album. Album: RUBBER SOUL

Another beautiful job you did. That design on the front was so hidden under the paint, it was nice to see it in predominance again. Which was worse, the sanding, or picking out all those little white dots?
