[@revecarodriguez709]

My mom just died on February 8 , 2024 , I needed something to help me relax , let God open another door for me! You did it , I love your sweet mellow voice , just helps with my sorrow yet picks me up ! Beautiful work as usual, I would love to have them in my bedroom! Thank you for your video & your voice I use as therapy!

[@Flippingdrawers]

☹️ I’m really sorry 😔 glad my videos help to keep your spirit up 💛

[@junebamburg1704]

So sorry 🙏🏻

[@spawnsmom9386]

I totally agree with you that letting the wood grain show through is just beautiful. Well done.

[@texanasimmons1761]

I love these little bedside tables! I like that you left them natural instead of staining them. Thanks!

[@Flippingdrawers]

You are so welcome!

[@giseleafecheoficial]

These are the most beautiful bedside tables EVER. I am in love with them!!!! And the different wood colours only make them even better!!!

[@Flippingdrawers]

[@elizabethfaraone]

I live with chronic pain. Watching these videos make me happy.

[@Flippingdrawers]

I am glad I can help a little 😊

[@nobleowl7031]

I also live with chronic pain amongst a few other "ailments". I enjoy the videos and imagining how I could use what l see being done on some of my own furniture that needs work. 😏

[@FurnitureFlippa]

AMAZING work Jay! They turned out so nice

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thanks Jason ;-) I love them

[@MsCharlieapple]

I kinda liked the retro wallpaper ‘thingy’! My grandma lined all the drawers of her furniture, even from new. She said it protected them! 😂

[@kayerin5749]

And she wasn't wrong! With only a little bit of mineral spirit to remove the traces of glue, it looks brand new!

[@annewithrow826]

I liked the sweet wallpaper, too.

[@jodidavis6595]

My heart is broken today. I found out my almost 29 yr old son has a drinking problem. He’s in Ohio and I’m in South Carolina. If you don’t think that certain content on KZbin can’t help you find peace for a moment than you’re sorely mistaken. I have faith in God to help my son find help that he needs and there’s comfort in that. But sometimes watching something like flipping drawers helps my well-being for the moment. So thank you Jay. I appreciate you

[@Flippingdrawers]

😳 I’m so sorry to hear that Jodi. I know how hard it is to get out of that. I’m glad you enjoy my videos and really hope he can find the strength to quit.

[@piglettowood5476]

I agree, I watch Jay every Sunday. He is so calming to watch and I always feel better. I hope your son gets the help he needs. Love and light x

[@Flippingdrawers]

☺️💛🤩🙏

[@fredetrickdard9455]

You have faith in God, your son has probably faith in you. We are fathers until our last breath. I hope you are close enought to help. Wish you the best, as long as there is hope, life finds its way like the river finds its path trought the rocks. Sunny days will come back, alcool is not an unbeatable ennemi.

[@ksibley1492]

For what it's worth, most of my family has problems with alcohol. My sister just admitted to it in her 50s. She has turned her life around and I am so proud of her. If your son told you he has a drinking problem, I think that's wonderful! He is young enough to keep it from really hurting his health. Hang in there.

[@audiomxr]

Great as always, Jay! They'll have a second long life now.

[@helenablignaut662]

I appreciate sympathetic restoration and admire people who have the patience for it. Well done!

[@mightyfetheredone]

These are absolutely radiant now! Very nice!😺 I'm so happy for you that you got to do tons of sanding this time since it's your favorite! 😹

[@Jly1370]

Absolutely beautiful! It is so satisfying watching vintage furniture come back to life!

[@feliciaberg6797]

People put liner in the drawers to protect them... my liners are never ever glued in because I change them if something gets on them... you are a wonderful artist!!! I cry when people paint solid wood or antiques...

[@catherinetetrault4789]

I think the two little tables are divine. They would compliment any bedroom. You kept them natural and it showed off the grain of many strains of wood types. Bravo,Jay!❤

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you 🙏

[@SharylM-se5ku]

By leaving the wood natural it had a beautiful golden glow. They sprang to life. A darker color would not have done them justice. Again the eye if a craftsman saw the beauty within.

[@gypsygirltarot2451]

“I think this keeps you humble.” I love this channel!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you 🤩

[@patcreech6944]

I love these before and after

[@kathyaakananabluebird]

It is so good that you keep a sense of humor and humility. These tables turned out beautifully

[@marciedwards-q2r]

That turned out to be quite lovely! Good choice!

[@lisawheeler53]

Gorgeous! Natural was the way to go!!

[@Flippingdrawers]

I think so too! thank you

[@mpulleyscott]

So delicately made, unlike other wood dressers and cabinets.

[@allisonstevens7141]

I love these little side tables. Gorgeous for a cottage look and the different shades of wood added to their character. Great job Jay as usual. Thank you for sharing loved watching ❤

[@joygrove5570]

Glad you decided to keep them natural - the results are beautiful! And worthwhile all the sanding 😂😉❤

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thanks so much 😊

[@rachealsmith5138]

I wonder if anybody sees your videos after you purchase something of theirs on marketplace, and thinks “ I wish I would’ve thought of doing that!” these are stunning! Very wonderful work, and I can’t wait for the mid century challenge!😊❤😊

[@Flippingdrawers]

Yes they do🙂 sometimes I send them links or pictures

[@juliesunshine333]

I watch his show for that same calming reassurance that you do. My beloved husband, of 43 years died last Spring. I am alone in a big house and it takes some getting used to, to say the least. My husband died from liver disease due to alcoholism. I sure hope your son gets his hit together. Only love can break your heart. 💔

[@susannekalejaiye4351]

my mother used to line drawers, she thought it looked nice, was relatively quick to replace, and made it easier to find what she was looking for.

[@terrioestreich4007]

I love them already!!

[@caroltanzi29]

Jay: a wonderful restoration job. They are so sweet and functional. Those night tables should sell very fast. Kudos to you. Carol from California

[@Flippingdrawers]

Glad you like them!

[@gailapland6834]

Simply gorgeous! Wishing I lived "across the pond" because I have a few antiques that need your tender loving care😊

[@pitsnipe5559]

Came out real nice. Used many a can of Never Dull during my Navy days. You know Jay, I’ve been watching you for a while now and I’m beginning to think you know what you’re doing. 😊

[@reddwarf8332]

Amazing transformation. You brought out a movement and flow in those pieces that wasn't there before. Absolutely stunning! Great work!!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you 🙏

[@dianecooper7502]

They turned out quite beautiful. Well done!

[@elainetwum3465]

The best way to match the color is...... don't. Let the piece do what it wants. They are gorgeous!!!

[@sophiachristo7546]

Such a beautiful wood color and grain! Awesome matching color on the drawers! Adorable nightstands! Thanks so much for sharing

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@mistybroadway5720]

Stunning! Beautiful job 👏

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you! 😊

[@debsmith2269]

These are such pretty little tables. Your perseverance with some (most😂) of your projects is really inspiring.

[@irenemeno3585]

Sweet beautiful pair of side tables 💕🐞🦋

[@bluecurlygirl]

Such beautiful little tables. Again, so glad they landed with you. They look like they've just got a big dose of love and now they look happy. Great job Jay. Always in admiration of your work. You know this buddy.

[@Flippingdrawers]

I do ☺️ thank you Emer 💛

[@YaaLFH]

People used to cover shelves and insides of drawers in paper to protect the wood - it was easy to replace when necessary without costly renovation. The pattern may not fit your aesthetics but someone liked it.

[@teariana1]

While I'm not sure if I like the paper I did think it fit the style of the little tables, I love that style it's beautiful

[@YaaLFH]

@@teariana1 I agree - it's a nice antique pattern.

[@jackie5764]

Some wood will bleed on your fine fanrics. Maybe thats why the paper was on. Thanks for your videos.

[@RumMonkeyable]

In a word, beautiful! 👏👍✨😍❤

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you so much 😀

[@LindaBeals-yc4pm]

I always laugh at the “2000 years later” I love the voice. These pieces r so delightful. They will give a room an elegant look. Beautiful job as always. Thank you for teaching us.

[@CatrinaMarieTCB]

Hey hey there's King 👑 Midas. Everything you touch turns to gold!❤😊

[@judeirwin2222]

Such elegant lines in these little tables. Good for you spotting their potential.

[@fiberotter]

The wood grain is quite striking. That lighter strip in the front of one is unusual. Glad that Hugo comes and gives you a sanding break.

[@toni5810]

Lovely makeover and beautiful wood grain!

[@arianesilbermehr3012]

Thank you for a wonderful video. The wood colour: There is a word: If you can not hide something, highlight is as if it was meant to be. There for, I would leave it as it is; this way it's a truly unique piece of furniture. I, at least, like it very much the way it is with its different wood colours.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Glad you like it ;-) thanks

[@arianesilbermehr3012]

@@Flippingdrawers 😊

[@katis7673]

Jay, thanks for posting. I used to have poor reproduction of French Provencial furniture and it was white/off white. I'm sure this will be nicer. And, thank you for helping me through my very dark days after my Mom's sudden passing. PS: Hugo thanks for stopping by❤

[@Flippingdrawers]

Glad I can help a little and sorry for your loss 😔

[@truthseeker444]

These were maybe made after WW2, wood was in very short supply for a few years after the war, furniture makers used what they could get, and then used a dark stain to hide the fact that pieces were made from a combination of woods.

[@madeleinekarlssonbengtsson]

So beautiful

[@64bosely]

Awesome job! I actually like the slight color variance. I think it gives it character. Very well done.

[@LikeUwhereThere]

Gorgeous! Well done!

[@XenobiaF]

What lovely pieces!

[@richewilson6394]

Great job on those end tables!!!

[@jackieostrander9667]

Oh my gosh! I think those tables are so cute. It's so hard to find unique pieces.

[@auntiear126]

Being from Alberta Canada I’m amazed and horrified by all the wood worm damage on vintage furniture. I don’t think we encounter it too much in the prairies. Love the little tables, thanks.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you 🤩

[@angelahowlett2829]

It looks so much better now

[@lauriehill8240]

Beautiful! Their color variations make them more 'real' - perfectly, all one tone has it's place - but these tables have such a warm character and charm. Would look lovely in my 1850 Colonial!

[@ernavooys3060]

Beautiful elegant bedside tables, my goodness they have a completely new life ahead of them!

[@DarinRager]

You do such great work. ❤

[@fiorenzaattanasio4796]

Beautiful to see them like they would originally look. Thank you

[@Flippingdrawers]

You’re welcome 😊

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

They are so elegant! I really love them. Well done!❤️🤗🐝

[@jenniemcclish3559]

They are beautiful

[@comoed4978]

WOWOWOWOW!

[@JimNichols]

Those turned out amazingly well :) I knew you were in for a rough ride when you said @2:18 "seems like everything is going great, right? This should be easy...." lol.

[@lawrente]

Elegant pieces! Well done! Much more beautiful afterwards.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you so much 😀

[@pablobarros610]

For anyone watching this video... this is a restoration! A restoration is not changing the use of the piece, it is not painting the piece to cover up damage. A restoration is returning the piece to its original functionality, to its original appearance, as much as possible. Absolutely wonderful work done here! Beautiful and high quality crafts!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you 🤩

[@Michelle-s6f]

My first thought was a dark gray or black stain, but they turned out nicely.

[@kristinmcfall2686]

4:58 it's the giggle for me 🥰

[@Roses-lilac]

Haven’t seen you for a while. Beautiful restoration.

[@maureenmendo9807]

I am glad you restored the pieces to be natural.

[@dianesmith9512]

You have magical hands to be able to do it so well!! What a blessing!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@KaquolMeliReno]

They turned out beautifully. As for me, I love a dark cherry color. But they truly are beautiful!

[@christinetadier7138]

Just beautiful. Always a pleasure to watch you work your magic.

[@dianayoshioka9556]

It's relaxing and you have a calm way about you.❤

Gorgeous, thank you for letting them just be!❤🎉

[@MissLady-pq4hc]

Nice work. So pretty.💙

[@fawnjenkins7266]

These look so nice! I LOVE seeing what you do with pieces of furniture to restore them and make them shine again! ❤🎉❤

[@lisagriger5261]

Beautiful! I think the drawer insides being a different color is fine.

[@taylorvanbuskirk8040]

Beautiful outcome!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you!

[@lorithrower2467]

I don't know, I kind of miss that wallpaper liner……..😂 Wonderful job!

[@alanatolstad4824]

Lovely results!---I've been MIA for awhile, so I like the addition of the background music. And, am I the only one who thinks your accent has changed a bit?!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Maybe I’m more British 😂 probably because it’s a different microphone when I’m in the shop

[@davidracine907]

Dave from Georgia, USA I absolutely love love love your channel. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome! Thank you!

I love natural wood and cringe when people paint beautiful wood furniture. This set went from tacky to elegant. I loved watching it.

[@samanthastern7344]

Beautiful work, as always! Thank you from Canada!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Holy smokes! That is like night and day. Awesome work. ❤

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thanks Angie ☺️ not as beautiful as yours 😉

[@myraholmes8702]

This was a beautiful restoration. Your sense of humor is so adorable, it makes the videos more enjoyable. I miss all the kitties also. At least there's one around.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thanks ;-)

[@jimbobjones9330]

Love that you're more confident to talk to the camera now. I was worried about 6 months ago when you seemed to be going ASMR with that one video, but I like the slightly new direction (while keeping the old channel feel). I still love the voiceovers, but having a mix is great.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you 🤩 and thank you so much for the super thanks 💛 I’ve finally bought a proper camera so will be doing this a bit more and in better quality 😉

[@MrHuismeester]

This again a example how to change a dull piece of furniture into a beautiful piece !! Aldo i am not a fan of more yellow kind of furniture, this one turn for the best and make it look amazing again ! My compliments for the way you the pieces as authentic as possible and they can be enjoining for many years to come !

[@eliseintheattic9697]

Lining drawers and shelves isn't done to cover ugly or damaged wood, it's done to protect it. It seems to have worked well because the wood inside the drawers is perfect!😊

[@drbettyschueler3235]

You did a great job restoring these two tables. I'm glad you left the wood natural rather than using paint.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you ☺️

[@jenn976]

Looks like keeping them all natural was the key to how nicely they turned out. You did such a beautiful job. ❤🩵

[@rnithuigim5768]

“Every time I think I have a simple project”. 😂. I’ve accepted that every project will take twice as long as I think it will.

[@paulasmail7861]

Love the grains with pure wood.. thank you

[@TheNeeblez]

Loved that you kept these natural. Beautiful!

[@truthseeker9108]

Very cute, little tables! The finish was the best!

[@teariana1]

Women tend to line drawers to keep them nice, protect the wood and make it easier to clean.

[@lorrainewhitlock5377]

You make these tables to look so beautiful that I wish I could buy them from you Jay. You are amazingly talented 🤩💖
