Ep. 28 Amazing RESTORATION of WORST Painted ANTIQUE Buffet

I purchased this painted antique buffet from Facebook Marketplace. In this video I will attempt to restore, refinish, and preserve what's left of this treasure. I will strip the paint from the furniture, sand the entire piece, and apply several finishes to bring this sideboard back to life. You don't want to miss this transformation. This is one of my favorite furniture restorations.

Can't believe someone would just throw a bucket of Blue paint over a beautiful piece of furniture like that You brought out all the detail that was lost and the beauty of the wood is Amazing! You probably made it more beautiful than when it was new. Wow!

[@MadCityModern]

Wow. Thank you. Barry

“Can’t believe someone would just throw a bucket of Blue paint over a beautiful piece of furniture like that…” to which I’ll add “and then have the nerve to call it ‘refinished!’”

[@Vannabael]

I can't imagine seeing this gorgeous piece, even if it was damaged when they got it, and thinking "I'm going to half ass coat this in a hideous cheap spray paint." I'm so glad you found & saved it.

[@MadCityModern]

I agree!

[@shannonhensley2942]

Because its broken different colors its easier to sell as painted over than something that 100% will have to be restored.

[@MadCityModern]

@@shannonhensley2942 selling it isn't always the end goal

[@felicitygee381]

This is why I don't like those TV programmes where they try an upcycle furniture, people try and paint stuff badly and resell it. I remember the antique globe cocktail server that someone painted in chalk paint and got roasted online for it.

[@thomasli4977]

…

[@rkm1091]

My jaw legitimately just fell open when you finally showed the finished product. The contrast of the darker drawers and light siding, the textures of the wood. Wow! How DARE those people ruin such a beautiful piece of furniture with that disgusting blue paint! Thank you for showing us this! Incredible work!!!

[@MadCityModern]

This one also shocked me

[@anthonyridenour8851]

Spray paint at that

[@martinwagner9610]

Another beautiful job, you're amazing! That the previous owner referred to the piece as already being refinished - and beautiful - is laughable. Keep the videos coming - a pleasure to watch.

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you so much Martin. Barry

[@maryrush8927]

Oh my goodness when you first revealed the cabinet door front as the paint came off I was amazed at the beautiful pattern underneath. So glad you brought this gem back to its original beauty!

[@MadCityModern]

This seems to be the common theme. The patchwork veneer on the door. I had the same response when I peeled the paint back for the first time. I wasn't even sure if I loved it or hated it right away. Love it now. Thank you Mary. Barry

[@musiqclub9725]

My thought exactly

[@angeltaraila6868]

Me too!!!

[@EdgeOfYesterday]

I saw the pattern and couldn't imagine why anyone would have defaced this beautiful cabinet with the blue paint.

[@leewood729]

Me too - I actually gasped! Since this was for your own personal use and pleasure, my opinion doesn't make a bit of difference, but I would probably have tried to repair the veneer with patching and touch-up. Anything, though, would have been an improvement over blue paint slathered on everything; baffles me how people think that is a good look. Love how the different tones of the wood worked together as a harmony, pleased you didn't try to make it look all one shade.

[@CNMcClure0723]

This might sound dramatic, but watching this actually brought tears to my eyes. I’m so moved by people sharing their passion and their art. Thank you so much for sharing! The personal touches showing the weather changing and the holiday cards were such a beautiful addition. If you ever have any doubts that what you’re doing here is important, let this be your sign.

[@bigred4379]

It was only a matter of time.. you know, “trends” swing both ways. Someone made a boatload of money selling “ chalk paint” and thanks to “social” media EVERYBODY thought theyd get in on that, and sell it too. Now that crap is all over EVERYTHING, and everybodys an artist😂😂not to mention , some are rattle can artists 🤦🏽‍♀️ NOW we gotta scrape and sand and scrub all that ugliness off! LOL I LOVE the process of restoration. Of course, im a cosmetologist🤷🏻‍♀️

[@executionbutton1058]

That was a great video! I'm sure the guy that sold it to you would be trying to get it back if he knew how good it looked when you restored it. You did a wonderful job

I am happy to hear this. Barry

[@sallybruska1499]

I'm so glad you were able to remove that awful blue paint. The drawer pulls came out beautifully. The buffet looks good. Leaving some of the dings and gouges on the top just shows the age and use of the buffet. Good job!

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you Sally. I was afraid that leaving some of the damage would give the impression that I cut corners, when in fact I spent days detailing everything that was left. Thank you for the encouragement. Barry

[@ktl711]

Wow, you really turned that into something almost too nice for use in your garage! Frankly I was surprised it turned out so well, as I thought all the damage that the seller failed to reveal was going to be overwhelming. I was expecting the black paint to come out! As your final staging scenes showed, it would look great in someone’s living room, or other room. You are definitely building up your skills.

[@MadCityModern]

This is hilarious. I was tempted by the black paint a few times during this project. It probably would have looked ok too. I just knew in my heart it would have been the easy way out of this one

[@lynnegaffney6209]

I totally agree, my first thought was wow that must be some fancy garage.

[@marynapier2007]

I've probably said this before, but I'll say it again-- I am always amazed when the old finishes come off and the transformation into the former glory of a piece comes to life. Your videos perfectly highlight that transformation. Its apparent that you love these old pieces of furniture and breathing new life and purpose into them.

[@MadCityModern]

I agree

[@paul1978g]

In some ways, I'm glad this piece got painted blue and kept. So many other beautiful items were simply thrown away because they were "old fashioned". The previous owners act of mild vandalism, preserved this item from destruction until it could be restored. Gratefully, it fell to you, sir, and you have done as you always do, you have brought back a charming old piece to its former glory. I am heartened with every project you undertake, as forgotten gems are once again free to shine in thier elegance. I hope you have many, many more such days in front of you so this world will continue to see the majesty in these Mid Century and Art Deco items.

1. My daughter just introduced me to your channel by sending me this video. 2.

But you know, to each his own. 3. I appreciate how meticulous you are. 4. I appreciate how CLEAN you are. 5. The buffet looked so beautiful (like actually beautiful) afterwards and fit very nicely in the room. The stain choice, the hardware, the conditioning wax...I love it all. 6. That Edison bulb lamp in front of the snow outside was magical. 7. SUBSCRIBED!!!

LL 2. I have a beautiful old bedroom set that because of improper storage the veneer is peeling or broken, and the stain is badly chipped. When ever I finally turn my storage shed into a work shop I want to restore the wood. It is from the 1930's and very ornate and carved. It's a dark stain with lighter undertones. Think I will tackle the chair or ottoman first! Have not worked on furniture in many years!

People will always have opinions. Not everybody will like what you do. That’s called being human. Beautiful job and piece. Many podcasters respond by calling anyone that doesn’t agree with you or like what you’re doing or saying call the people mean or haters. If you only want good comments don’t go on line. Doesn’t make them mean or haters it’s an opinion

[@MadCityModern]

I completely disagree. I never mind any comments from people who respectfully disagree with my work. Every once in awhile there are comments that come from a place of total hate. I'm not crying about it, just standing up against it. There is a difference
