Unbelievable Transformation: Vintage Buffet Makeover

[@cookiepfeffer8196]

Stunning color! Keeping the natural wood tones on the top and bottom gave this piece such a sophistication and elegant look. Beautifully executed.💖💖💖💖💖

[@ivylane-home]

I agree! Thanks so much!! 🤩🙌🏼

[@terrybarnes1786]

That top is definitely Honduras Mahogany red color very tight grain. I built my living room coffee table with it. Yes I'm retired cabinet finisher and furniture builder.

[@ivylane-home]

That wood is amazing! It has a luminous quality to it. Stunning 🤩

[@fleurjardin1012]

Wow! I love the way this piece turned out! The combination of the dark wood , the dark green paint, and the gold knobs is so elegant!👑

[@ivylane-home]

It really is elegant 🤩💚

[@Viatrix1854]

Loved the paint/wood combination. So glad you found the secret to closing the top drawer. What a sneaky thing that was. Well done as ever.

[@ivylane-home]

It was clever, wasn’t it?! The buyer loved that little detail. Thanks! 💚

[@lisbethslvhj5380]

Lovely work. Stunning result. And thanks for not playing music in the background😊

Thank you! Ha, my pleasure. 😬

[@louisemckinnon7125]

I just discovered you today and I can't stop watching your projects. You are very talented. I adore this piece. It is absolutely beyond gorgeous. You did a wonderful job. I refinish furniture also and I enjoy watching your humility when you make mistakes. I really feel for you. The way you go about calmly correcting the errors is remarkable. You are patient and handle disappointment very well. You are my new favorite. Kudos!

Aw, Thanks so much, Louise! That is very kind of you. Welcome! I’m glad you’re here 😊🙌🏼

Love the combination and that wood on top and bottom is absolutely beautiful! I love that you can remake trim that is missing.......so clever. Thank you for sharing..........just beautifully done!!! Anyone would be proud to share that in their home!

You are by FAR my favorite flipper to watch. I absolutely love your attention to detail. The putty knife to cut your tape, so simple, but most of us would never think of it. I love it. You take such care of your pieces. And your videos are longer, but because you are so good at what you do and the editing is so good, it's so enjoyable to watch. You really have so many talents. I have been wanting to try wise owl too. I think I will, this is gorgeous!

[@ivylane-home]

Melissa, you are so sweet and encouraging. Thank you! 🫶 I was pleasantly surprised with Wise Owl. I tried to roll it, but it was a no go for me. It sprayed beautifully though. I felt it dried hard like Command and I liked the sheen too. 🤩

[@gottathinkupanewone]

I usually don't support painting furniture that can still be refinished and saved -- but this buffet is STUNNING! I love the color so much, and the wood is gorgeous.

[@ivylane-home]

I agree! I refinish a lot, but I did keep the good bits - the top and base. The wood in the body was meh. The green really made the pretty wood pop 🤩💚

[@gottathinkupanewone]

@@ivylane-home I know what you mean about saving the good bits. Our kitchen table is like that. It started off life many years ago as a library table in a church library. Students would sit at these tables and do homework -- safe environment and all that. The whole table is made of oak, so the top could be sanded and saved. But the legs.... needed more help than that. Years of being scuffed by the shoes and boots of youth had left them with some scars too deep to sand out; there would have been something like a matchstick left there. I sanded and refinished the table top and painted the legs forest green. I had intended to use it as a laundry table, but it looked so good when I was finished, I had to have it in the living area of the house. We only have space in this house for a very small kitchen table, and a 35-inch round fits perfectly. It's an odd size, but was made that size to meet some space requirement in the church library that nobody even remembered any more. So it all worked out as if it had been intended that way all along!

[@ivylane-home]

Great story of a great save 🙌🏼😊

[@SusanMahr-wi6cd]

I am looking at this in August. You are so detail-oriented that's why your refurbishing comes out so great. I love the color.

[@glynisbabbey4306]

You can always topcoat the areas you’re not keeping wood before you paint so it’s easier for someone to restore down the line if they wanted to. Having said that, I don’t mind me a piece done the way you’ve finished it. Not sure what some folks are expecting when they visit a furniture-flipping channel. They need to get over the paint or move on. At least this has escaped the landfill or sitting out in someone’s barn unappreciated.

[@ivylane-home]

Yes, the shellac and primer are protecting the wood so it can be refinished if wanted. So true, but it really bothers some people. 🤷‍♀️ I refinish lots of pieces, but I do love a good painted piece too. I agree! It was unwanted and now it can live a new life 🤩

[@teresacunningham7975]

Really pretty! I like how you explain so many things. You are a great resource for techniques and painting info.

I always have problems painting antiques but I think there is a time to do it. I love the fact you don't worry about how long the video is. I would sit and watch a 2 hour video posted by you. Some restoration just takes longer and it is so worth it in the end. If you sell it I believe it will bring top Dollar!💖💖💖💖

I definitely restore more than paint, but some pieces just need a new outfit. The pretty wood in this piece was the top and base and that’s what I decided to preserve. Good luck on yours. ☘️
