1 YEAR in the RAIN AND SNOW! Old Buffet RESTORATION.

This Buffet was left outside for a year exposed to the elements and so moulded and warped from the moisture that I wasn't sure I could rescue it.

Oh wow 😮 that’s so generous 🥰 thank you kindly 😊 it means a lot.

You are a true magician

[@HeatherFeatherCountryGirl]

Lovely! With everyone painting furniture these days, I’m so happy to see someone saving these pieces & bringing them back to life! Nothing more beautiful on furniture than seeing the wood grain! ❤

[@elzi6412]

Absolutely..Seeing it the way the maker intended it to be ❤

[@cathylord4202]

I cringe every time I see the paint cans come out. I have quit watching a lot of the HGTV shows for that reason.

[@lyndseybeaumont7301]

I know you said this piece isn’t made too well and there are no straight corners etc, but now, since your renovation, it looks like it’s worth a fortune. The wood grain is spectacular and the subtle colouring of the tree panel is a dynamic talking point. I’m so impressed with this piece Jay, you have captured all of its positive aspects and completely hidden the negative. Another job perfectly done xx

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you Lyndsay ❤️

[@karinapfel650]

Agreed! What an incredible transformation!

[@theresaburkeburgess7974]

I believe the wood is acacia wood.

[@AlwaysADisappointment]

I don’t think the original maker of this buffet ever dreamed this piece could look this beautiful. The most amazing part of restorations for me is how the beauty of the furniture is in the piece the whole time, it just takes the eye and hands of an artist to help the rest of us see it the way the artist does.😊

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you 😊 that’s very kind

[@Roses-lilac]

When you opened this piece up at first I was struck by how beautiful the wood grain was. Lovely to watch you reveal the piece in all its glory.

[@dorishodge4451]

So happy you were able to save this piece. The carvings and wood grain, after your restoration, are stunning.

[@Flippingdrawers]

That’s awesome 🤩 glad you like it 😊

[@cmbronson1976]

The maker of this piece albeit crudely done, made this with heart. You gave that piece its heartbeat back.

Highlighting the tree on the door really brings it all together. The tree was fading in the background. Great job!

I don't think they make furniture's like this anymore. Do you sell them?

[@gailbutler3310]

That wood grain is incredible! Lots of hard work, but so beautiful! I was surprised the door came out that well without a steam bath. The new arrangement of the workshop seems to be working really well.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Hi Gail ;-) thanks for watching. Im happy with the result

[@jennylawson1980]

Jay, if there is anyone in the world that can salvage a tossed aside piece of furniture it's you. 99% of society would have sent it to the burn pile. You turned it into a masterpiece. 😊 Hugo is a beautiful fur baby and a great break ❤. Again another extraordinary job.

Only someone with your skills and patience could have saved this piece. It’s beautiful! 🌟 I’ll never understand how people who, instead of donating something, just throw it out in the weather. Excellent job of savings this!

We here in the United States are a throw away country. Instead of fixing things we just throw it away. My uncle worked as a garbage collector and he was always bringing home some very nice things to things that just needed fixing..he could have opened up a store with all the things he brought home.

​@@Flippingdrawers You did a beautiful job on that piece! It's funny how some projects speak to you and tell you what they want to be This one told you to paint the tree After you spent hours stripping every little detail...! But that's what we do. ☀️ Really liked your video!

I doubt they would. They didn’t even care enough to give it to someone. Instead they threw it out as if was trash. They couldn’t see it’s beauty then, they wouldn’t see it now.

[@beckybugbee5696]

I loved that you colored the tree and let the grain shine through. ❤

[@butterflypooo]

Wow. This is the most beautiful final result of all your videos so far, and all other furniture restoration videos I came across. I love how the subtle ness of the tree stain that you used. It pops enough but still allows the wood and not the paint to be the star of the show. You really helped to elevate this piece beyond what I thought was possible. 👌🏻✨

[@Flippingdrawers]

Awesome 🤩 glad to hear you enjoyed it

You made several super creative and brilliant decisions with this worn-out buffet - the resin, clear coat spray, glazing the tree leaves in green... It's very unique and beautiful. I always enjoy your sense of humor and the cute kitties.

I’m a retired healthcare worker and keep busy with my 4 grandkids but they’re old enough to drive now and since I’m high risk I’m passing time refinishing items and reupholstering chairs etc. Covid has started up in Texas again and I live on a ranch in a small town. My trips thrifting will have to be curbed some. My friend since we were 6 yrs old and I are widows and it gives us joy to drive to San Antonio to thrift. No thrift stores in our town. I have to spread the word that I’m looking for furniture to try to renew. My mother was born in 1911 and she and I were always refinishing, upholstering, making drapes and quilts. I miss those times with her. Thank you for your videos.👍😃
