Andy this was just "Fablely-fabulous" it's kind of dark and gloomy here today, so this was a ray of sunshine. First of all, I met my husband pretty much the same way. We've been together for 40 years and have a wonderful, loving family. Secondly- A beautiful desk actually found me. I was leaving an antique store (living overseas at the time) when I heard a "voice": "Hey here I am!" I asked the ladies to remove all the stuff they had covering her up. Just amazing. She and I came home and as I was cleaning her, I dropped her on the hard garden stones- on her face. I was frozen and started to cry hysterically. Got a hold of myself, and carefully lifted her up, assessed the damage (not too horrid thankfully) and tearfully fixed the damaged parts. The funny thing is that when she fell, two things came out from behind the drawers: An old negative of a lovely couple in the 1940's having a walk in the park and a postage stamp of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands which helped me date the piece. I still have this desk; I got the picture, developed, and both the picture and the stamp are in silver frames on one of the desk shelves. The wood covering the desk is called "tiger wood" can't describe it well, but you are not to paint it. This was so much fun. Thank you, Andy!

You are SO fun, and interesting, and talented, you could EASILY have your own tv show, and I would watch it every day! There is a clear distinction between your videos and the other videos here on youtube doing the same things (sans fables), there's just this *energy* that makes me completely interested, even as a person who used to be anti-painted furniture. You're hilarious with the fables. I DO NOT laugh out loud, like, EVER, but several of your videos have had my dogs concerned by hearing my weird barking. I absolutely adore your work and always look forward to your next video.

Okay, I'm going to risk sounding like an overly enthusiastic super fan again... After watching this, I like you even more! Cultural anthropology, British comedy (AbFab!😁), literature, design...

You are rare and delightful. You ran with your dreams, though. Wish I had... At 46, it may not be too late, but it's certainly a lot harder. Maybe, like you, I just need to step up to the plate and take a swing. 🙂

I found your channel when I was quarantined with COVID…and depressed because I missed Christmas with my family. You made me smile, and I have anxiously awaited every episode since. I had rehabbed a few pieces, but only with timid coats of paint. You’ve given my English-teaching heart courage to try new things. First, you taught me to enjoy cleaning my pieces via the furniture bath, then you gave me courage to try new things, like self-adhesive wallpaper, drawer stencils, even decoupaging over a terminally damaged night stand top with fabric. Your combination of story and how-to is simply perfect. Thank you for shining bright, and I will be anxiously awaiting the next season!

Mushy Stuff: I was taking my turn wearing super clown glasses to tell my friends what I hoped my life would be. If you wore the glasses NO One could interrupt. After blathering on I locked eyes with a guy who was watching me. I instantly said to disregard everything because there is my man. Well, he was only there for a couple of credits to graduate so he told his sisters to bring me home. How? We don’t know her. Maybe she won’t like us. He said “I don’t want her to like you I want her to like me” so they figured out how to get me home and we had 44 years together. He told me even if I got angry my face still lit up when I saw him. We had five children. And I’ve missed him now 9 years. Enjoy your channel very much.

Thank you for spreading your joy. ...... Now I need to know about the shelf behind you. It's completely interesting and I'm intrigued.

@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy Yep--it's a strange virtual world. You're right there in my family room a couple times a week, so if I bumped into you at the coffee shop I would probably just invite myself to sit and chat with you. We, the audience, have a responsibility to understand that likely will not be reciprocated. My faves have become so familiar to me, but I'm a total stranger. I have to consciously remind myself. It's weird on our end too--it's so natural for me to form attachments to folks who've added so much to my life in the way of education, motivation, creative advice and support. It's a new time, for sure.

I was fortunate enough to stumble upon you when you released your first video and immediately fell under your spell. You have continued to delight me with your clever story lines, boundless creativity and your perfectly genuine relatability. I knew from that first video you would be a hit and it’s been such a joy to watch your following grow. You’re like the friendly neighbor on all of our streets…and that is exactly what makes you so charming. You are humble and sweet and have allowed your viewers to feel as though we are just wandering up to your home to see your latest project and even meet your family as they pass through. Thank you for being so delightfully genuine, Andy. P.S. The story of how you and John met was made all the sweeter by the look on your face as you told it. True love is a most beautiful thing. My favorite project so far is the gorgeous Art Deco bar cabinet you created for him. Blessings to you until we see you next season, my friend!

This was wonderful!! I loved hearing about your background and your talent for acting/singing/designing/filming/photography/selling/script writing, etc., etc., I think it's universal that when a child hears all three names being called out, they all know something unpleasant is coming from Mom/Dad!! You are so fortunate to have such a supportive and loving husband. Not all are so lucky. It was romantic hearing how you and your husband met, courted, married and built your family. I was wondering how your kids feel about their Mom dressing up as Biff, the scripts that open each episode and do they ever want to participate in the little sketches. Your explanation of painting furniture from the family really got to me. So much of my furniture is over 100 years old and each time I think of painting it, I feel I would be betraying it's history or disrespecting my relatives who owned it originally. Our family strongly believed that passing down furniture kept the stories of our family history alive. All of it comes from the late 1800s/early 1900s, so you can imagine the stories that go with each piece. Our piano originally belonged to my paternal great grandfather who taught my grandfather to play. My grandfather used it to start the very first band that played at a Chicago Park District Field House located in Hamilton Park on the Southside of Chicago. My Father learned to play on that piano, my brother and Mother both played on that piano as well. That's 4 generations of music that I grew up hearing. I can't bear to part with it now. I'm 70 and when I do part with it, I want to donate it to a family that can't afford a piano of their own, but have a child that has a love for piano music and wants to learn. Or, a school that can't find a piano for their school music program. Not sure why I am telling you all of this, but it all came to mind when you spoke of heritage pieces. Thanks again for this video. I could tell it was from the heart and I feel I have gotten to know you so much more and am glad for it.

Wow Peggy, this is so wonderful to read, for so many reasons. It sounds like we have a lot of similarities in our families...my mom and dad just donated a historic-family-owned pedal organ to a local music school for children. What a wonderful way for such a beautiful legacy of love and learning of music in your family to continue on! To answer your question about my kiddos - they actually think it's pretty awesome! 😂 Although there was that one time when I came downstairs as Biff and my youngest looked up and saw me from the couch and screeched because she thought a strange man was in the house...😂 Thank you so much for all your support Peggy, so glad you enjoy the fables!

Great episode, Andy! I, too, come a line of "Mary's and generally go by my middle name. I was a choir geek and also had many years of classical voice training, but never really excelled at it. Besides, my dad kept saying that I needed to study something "useful" with my life. So, I went into healthcare which has served me well over many years. It seems that he was right. Your characters are great. I especially love your Alter Ego. I get so annoyed 😡 with her FOR YOU. She reminds me of so many Divas I've known in the musical theatre world. 😂Andy, you're so talented and thank you for sharing your gifts with us. I look forward to your next adventure.
