The MOST Satisfying Veneer I’ve Ever Pulled Off | Antique Buffet Makeover

[@user-wz9iq5dc5h]

This was a great transformation. I love watching you and your style. I feel like I’m watching myself 15 or 20 years ago 😂. Don’t ever change your video style-you’re very real and honest, which is super refreshing. Thanks for the blood and sweat…RESPECT 💪🏼. 😂😂❤

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you so much!! This made me giggle 😂

[@danquiles9334]

The mocha looks great, but the warm ash is by far my favorite I love the way it brings out the character of the piece GREAT Job on both

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you!

[@sharonpaul912]

I love how it turned out, great job! I also appreciated the ASMR sounds vs music. And the talk about “other girls”. 😂

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you!! 😊🤣

[@trishhoapili7587]

New viewer. I am so glad I found you! I have my Nan’s sideboard (post WWII England). It isn’t grand but the smell inside takes me right back to my Nan and Grandad. The veneer is falling off and you have given me such hope and inspiration. Thank you ! The transformation is gorgeous on this piece. 😊

[@flippedbyabby]

Yay!! I’m excited for you 😊

[@sleepy.timaeus.arts.]

the hardware change really pulled this together!!

[@flippedbyabby]

Agreed!

[@roxiepoe9586]

I like dark chocolate over milk chocolate. I think this preference extends to furniture. It is lovely and I admire and appreciate all the sheer hard work you have invested in this.

[@flippedbyabby]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@Patti-1962]

I think I like the warm ash, but the before and after of this piece blew my mind! I'm so glad you saved this buffet so it can live another life! I could watch you refinish furniture all day!

[@flippedbyabby]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

[@TheGreatestJuJu]

Hint: You just sold this paint to a lot more people than you would at a trade show. You could set up a square space website and link it to paint you have for sale. Essentially, sponsoring yourself.

[@laurafisher6531]

Yay been waiting for a new video. Love love love the colour you chose. Great job 😊

[@flippedbyabby]

Yay!! Thank you so much 😊

[@The4x4Mama]

I had no idea how enjoyable I would find watching veneer getting ripped off at 5am! Thanks! 😂❤😊

[@flippedbyabby]

Glad you enjoyed! 🤣 I like to put on modern makeovers at night before i go to sleep

[@crystalbqueen4341]

@@The4x4Mama Exactly!! It was like an ASMR video, calming, in a strange way!

[@The4x4Mama]

@@crystalbqueen4341 Yes! She was so worried someone would hate on her for doing it! I wanted more! It was so soothing and satisfying!

[@gf8958-p7p]

What a beautiful piece! I’m so glad you saved it. This was one of your more entertaining videos - keep talking to yourself. 😂 I like this finish more than the previous, but I’m partial to brown. When you pulled off that vinyl covering - I cringed because the real crime was covering the original veneer with that! I think your idea of selling the paint to people who like the look but can’t afford the furniture is a good one. Great work as usual!

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you so much for the feedback!! I appreciate it 😊

[@susanmulvey6311]

So happy to see that furniture chest is getting some love!! The chest now looks happy and refreshed! Great job!!

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you!! 😊

[@justjulee9135]

That turned out gorgeous! I like both colors. They are each beautiful in their own way! I would be proud to have that buffet in my kitchen!

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you so much!

[@kathleennagwak1761]

My mother had that very buffet. I don’t know how many times I had to polish it. You were true to the bones of the buffet. It’s good.

[@brendafalk5162]

Ash was my fav. Brown paint of any type is never a pick for me, but black is timeless. That ash color was such a soft black.

[@user-de3yc6du7n]

YOUR PATIENCE WITH YOUR WORK IS ADMIRED 😊

[@Awesomeday007]

I love it in the brown! Looks terrific! Great job! It makes me want to strip mine back down and do the dish cabinet that matches it!

[@victorialawrence4782]

Omg, I can't believe you took off the veneer. It was especially difficult to watch you throw away the part with the tape. I mean, seriously, I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight I'm going to be tossing and turning till the morning light! 😂❤ Beautiful work as always.

[@flippedbyabby]

Omg 😂😂😂

[@mwalton504]

The mocha is just beautiful. They're both beautiful. You do gorgeous work.

[@flippedbyabby]

thank you so much!

[@margarethowe3472]

Wow, love it! Both colours are beautiful and the milk paint is very unique. The wax just takes it to another level. Really like it.

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you so much!

[@paulabodine5317]

Both pieces turned out amazing! Each in their own unique way!

[@ajosephbaumhauer4071]

I love that you finish the inside great job

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you!

[@PaullyMiller]

The wax makes a huge difference and you were dead right about the hardware finish.

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you!

[@elainemeyer3076]

I like both colors you used on the two pieces . The buffet does look stunning in the mocha/chestnut. Another great job! Hoping I can make it up from Gainesville for the Market in November

[@flippedbyabby]

Thanks so much! 😊 I hope so too!!

[@amyjacob2100]

I love the chestnut color! Good call on changing the hardware color as well. I thought the monochromatic colors looked good but the gold made it pop a little more!

[@flippedbyabby]

I agree!

[@crystalbqueen4341]

You are amazing !!! I’ve been watching Thomas Antiques and Restoration for years. Sooo great to see a younger generation using wood and restoration skills!

[@flippedbyabby]

Thanks for watching! I have to check that out 🥰

[@tammystevens4054]

I like the chestnut brown color. I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you so much!

[@dah-lv1hm]

the brown finish for sure!

[@MaddieLiz]

this brown color is breathtaking! I am a lover of neutrals, especially brown, so this is by far my favorite and I'd totally buy it if I had funds.

[@suzannahperkins3469]

You did such a fantastic job!! I’m so glad you took the veneer off and gave this antique buffet new life!! It is truly beautiful! I love your channel!❤

[@flippedbyabby]

[@honeybreme5479]

I haven’t watched the whole video yet but that veneer was past its expiration date. Great job removing all of it

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you!

[@debraneria4242]

I'm starting to love that milk paint and wax look 😍😍😍😍

[@flippedbyabby]

Me too!!!

[@donnawilkes8954]

Beautiful piece of art. Surprisingly because I generally paint everything black, white or gray, I love the chestnut brown.

[@user-kn9em6kf1n]

I like them both, but the black is beautiful and the finish is soft and creamy, not harsh like black furniture can sometimes look.

[@peggyon1]

One of my favorite channels! I love the creativity, expertise and furniture choices.

[@flippedbyabby]

Wow, thank you!

[@kimzimmerman2492]

I love the buffet! It is so beautiful and of course you do such a great job with every thing. You crack me up though, talking to yourself is always fun! Keep refinishing furniture and filming it’s so much fun to watch and informative too.!

[@flippedbyabby]

Yay! Thank you!

[@beverlykirkpatrick886]

Beautifully done! You did a ton of work and can't believe the transformation. Love the brown and looks like it should. Didn't know removing the veneer it could still look so awesome.

[@pfles1]

I had no idea you could get this result with milk paint. So beautiful!

[@michelledefee2085]

I loved it when you said you just swallowed a bug! I have done that so many times. I love all your work. I just started and I have had so many problems with this solid pine dresser drawers. I replaced all the sliders and glides. Still wobbly. Put in the plastic pieces that are supposed to keep the drawers straight. Still a mess! I live right here in Jacksonville too. Learned a lot from your videos! ❤

The most fun part of the job seems to be painting the board. But please do not forget to wear the mask while painting the boards. I enjoy watching you very much.

Awesome work. Beautiful transformations. You do you. Great job.

[@sngrin2741]

I love both color options!

[@MooncieLoo]

I have that same piece. It needs to be done too.

[@bobholt9246]

Nice job Abby! Both look really good and you've brought each piece back to new life! You may want to revisit your magnetic door catch . . . and refer to the directions :)

[@Piratecapt8383]

The ends and top looked like vinyl put over the veneer. Beautiful save.

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@suztexas]

Warm ash is my favorite❤

[@marydalton5752]

Use your affiliate link at the marketplace instead of having a paint supply! Bring bare wood and a couple of cans of milk paint & wax! I love the color of the buffet and glad you changed the hardware color! The other color on the previous piece is nice too it just depends on the dining room table and wall color as to what furniture milk paint color would look better.

[@flippedbyabby]

This is such a great idea!

[@jennifercartwright2360]

This turned out very pretty. The moody vibe is really nice. Good decision on changing the color of the hardware. ❤❤

[@Bluegrassprincess]

So funny how the oscillating fan was sped up as you took the veneer off. I love the happy accident too. I would have liked to see it smoothed out with bondo and not see the rough dry wood. I am very happy you saved these two pieces and would have liked to seen them stay a pair but I understand wanting to keep what you did with the ash and black wax. They both are gorgeous and great job! As far as that powder paint I'd make darn sure you showed it open. I'd of died if I bought that and had to mix at home. Very unique. I hear milk paint is a permanent solution. Surprised no clear coat. Do you not need that with the wax? I may would give some black wax love for more depth. I love it!

[@flippedbyabby]

The wax dries to a hard and washable topcoat!

[@gingerrob7328]

Warm Ash. You are very inspiring and a pleasure to watch.

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you so much 😊

[@jennifercartwright2360]

Abby, stripping veneer is tough work. Another furniture refinisher that I follow, Angie from Canada, uses a heat gun to soften old glue. Something to keep in mind for another project.

[@gailnye9791]

Love the mocha

[@mary-virginiafeger3306]

I like the brown color, especially on the legs. However, I think the ash color would have been stunning if you had kept the burl veneer on the doors. They looked like they didn’t have as much damage as the other veneer and would have been stunning with an oil/wax finish to contrast the black.

[@lindalesniak6671]

I have one of those in my storage unit as well! It was my grandmothers. So upset my dad threw away the china hutch!!! BTW-I like the warm ash…JS
