Vintage buffet reveals her true beauty when the varnish comes off | 1 day Furniture flip

[@dochubbell]

I don't believe I have seen a beautiful old piece gone over as thoroughly as you did. I mean, you even paid attention to the back of it! Leaving much of the natural wood exposed and protected is a standard of work matched by few. Treating the insides as well as you treat the outside is a sign of a true craft man. Well done.

[@Flippingdrawers]

You’re so kind. Thank you ☺️

[@a.l.a.7847]

I usually default to wanting old wood to stay in its natural state. I was cringing a bit when you started painting it because I felt the natural wood was beautiful enough. But your eye for bringing out completely new looks in old furniture -- without being too "trendy" or garish -- is amazing! I loved the final result and know this venerable old lady of oak will be welcome in many more homes with the updated look. Thank you!

[@ClaudiaWagner-xb1hf]

Love to watch your videos from two years ago and See how you have grown and developed over time.... so great to see. Even back then you made beautiful changes to the pieces you picked. 😍

[@Flippingdrawers]

So nice of you💛

[@deborahschipper1520]

Additionally, I live the fact that you wax the insides of drawers. It is very refreshing!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you! Much appreciated 👍🏻

[@galady8632]

Your vision and hard work changed this older beauty into a classic, timeless piece. I always appreciate your attention to details and how clean your items are. In my opinion that is the difference between someone that 'slaps paint on furniture and a true artisan'. Your items definitely fit the Boutique Furniture category, aka 'functional art pieces'.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you very much! That's a great review 😉

[@Califdml45]

You are the first furniture flipper that I have come across that actually cleans and sands the entire piece. England is just a treasure trove of vintage furniture. I used to love going to the auctions with my Mum and Nannie. I just subscribed. Looking forward to watching all your past and future videos. Thank you!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Much appreciated ! Im going to my first auction tomorrow 😜🤗

[@MadCityModern]

My new favorite channel by far! You are setting yourself apart from the rest by doing all the necessary prep work to make this piece stand out. I was blown away by the final reveal. Just gorgeous. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Looks like our channels are very similar in style : ) Barry

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thanks mate! That’s very kind of you and yes, I agree we can definitely learn from each other. I am keeping a close eye on your progress as well! Love your style.

[@nancyberg6260]

You are aware enough to see the excellence that this craftsman brings to this piece. Thank you for encouraging. Each piece is another step to outstanding use of what materials are there to give the world another unique lovely piece.

[@Flippingdrawers]

@@nancyberg6260 🥰 you are too kind! Thank you so much🙌🏻

[@roselee2397]

Very nice. That was a lot of work.

[@cheriparda976]

I really love the way that you take the time to attend to all those "tedious " details... the extra sanding inside the drawers and that wonderful smelling orange wax. These really make the difference in the finished work! Keep on saving those treasures!!!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you so much 😀

[@elaineholthaus2298]

Yes, I don't understand people that feel comfortable doing what looks like an incomplete job, which is a negative way of congratulating you on your thorough work philosophy 👏!

[@Flippingdrawers]

🥰

[@charlottecolley6966]

I'm an older lady living in Florida & I love how you always remove the hardware before giving the piece a good scrub down. A lot of gunk can hide in the crevices around the hardware. Any buyer is assured that they are getting a very clean piece.

[@davidcadena8114]

Every furniture restorer need to watch how you prep every piece of furniture you do. Your step by step process from start to finish is impressive. Nothing is overlooked. The voice overs are just as important. You tell us what you're doing and why. Every now and then, I watch other restorers, but after awhile I stop. Why? They never match what you do. Right away, I compare them to how your process works. You teach as well as demonstrate what you're doing. Your willingness to experiment and even make mistakes is very entertaining. And in the end, another excellent result. Well done Sir.👍

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it

[@livingcreatively1]

I love the natural beauty of wood and with the grey and accented gold really makes this side table pop. It's beautiful. I love the detail and extra attention you give it.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you so much!

[@idanoe9286]

I love how you give these neglected pieces a new lease of life. I have a 1930s sideboard that needs some TLC & you are inspiring me to make it beautiful again.

[@emmabaldwin409]

I really love how you even change the back board and wax it and do inside the drawers and really show the value and potential of the piece. It's shows you care and as a potential buyer I would feel more comfortable knowing that the rest is done equally carefully. 😊

[@chrisgogreve8743]

You did a beautiful job on this piece! The gold hardware and embellishment took this piece over the top!!!❤❤❤

[@kathrynmoore1230]

I grew up with the buffet to my grandparents walnut dining room suite similar to this one. It seemed almost sacrilege at first when you were painting a portion of it, but I ended up really liking the finished look. Also it may take longer to do the extra stripping and sanding, but it looks better and one has the satisfaction of knowing it was a job well done. I’m a Canadian who enjoys what you do😊❤.

[@chichitex1252]

I love this piece. The way you used color, metallic, two natural wood tones, just so beautiful!❤

[@exoticgirl1]

The gold youvadded to the detailed part made the cabinet come to life and pulled everything together. I'm a bit addicted to your channel!😊😊😊

[@sheilatodd7280]

I ❤ watching the sanding. It's so pretty afterward. Then the stain just gives it that shine!

[@bluecurlygirl]

It looks so different to how it started and infinitely better. Absolutely beautiful and that gilding wax on the detail just sets it off perfectly. Well done.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you very much!

[@elizabethturel78]

Wow, looked terrific! It’s got another 50 years of life!👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💜

[@Flippingdrawers]

Yes! Thank you!

[@Kathy-wx4bn]

I like seeing that you finish the whole piece not just the out side.

[@tonipope3164]

It's always amazing what is 1 man's junk... becoming 1 man's treasure... its gorgeous! Beautiful work!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Much appreciated 👍

[@joannjukes4474]

Wow, this piece turned out amazing. Love the bluish/grey and the 2 tones of wood. Great job as always. :)

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you so much 😀

[@marchelleharris4842]

I have never seen you paint furniture before. You usually let the wood shine through. But this is just as lovely and beautiful as all your work is. I so enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@user-xr3gg9qy8z]

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure!!! That is what we say here in the US. And you turned this into a Treasure.

[@michaelmcclafferty3346]

Wow! What a talent you have for restoring furniture.

[@julierobertson148]

One aspect of your videos I really enjoy is your demonstrations that projects aren't perfect but ingenuity and compromise can save the day. We live in a real world. Thanks for not "sugar coating" it.

[@denisegallant149]

So beautiful. Iove the natural waxed wood combined with stain and paint. The gold details were the finishing touch!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Glad you like it!

[@skeltonjuanita6515]

Really interesting result. It lends such a stylized result. That is what makes your works so individualistic. Your furniture design craft is just lovely. It is just all yours!!! Wow, busy man!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thanks Juanita 🥰

[@Whistlewalk]

Really interesting colour combinations. I quite like the way the colours individually hightlight seperately the details of each part. Great modernization of an old and still beautiful and useful piece of furniture.

[@dddecker1412]

I love this piece & the care you spend making sure the ENTIRE piece is perfectly finished. I’m sure you must have a natural talent to improvise when things go left! I love the alternative choices you end up with when your piece ends up ‘fighting’ you.😅

[@Flippingdrawers]

🥰 so kind of you

[@drbettyschueler3235]

It is lovely. I love the look of real oak and the green paint and gold accents really make the piece look elegant.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@annermel9121]

I like your attention to detail. When I refurbish furniture, I want the entire piece to look good. I hate seeing sloppy work.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you ☺️ I do try to be thorough.

[@lorraineluckett]

Your attention to detail is everything! Gorgeous!

[@pamelavadasz2113]

Nice to know that mis-steps don’t just happen to us amateurs. It gets so discouraging!

[@tonics7121]

It's actually just lovely. Your artstry is evident in every piece.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Very kind of you 💛💛💛

[@pamelavadasz2113]

I agree...sanding is definitely not my favorite thing to do! But somehow, watching YOU do it is very relaxing, lol!

[@williambabbitt7602]

Really, very nice work! And you were right, she is a sleeping beauty. Very enjoyable, as always!

[@donnaferrara947]

Truly stunning in every way. Just love the way you chose to update this piece. Great job🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😊

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you so much 😊

[@michellesutton202]

Love what you did in this piece. That hardware, kinda reminds me of pocket watches. Super cool adding the gold touches to the details in that middle section. Your one of two ppl i watch on youtube who actally refreshes the entire piece. Not just the outeside/front. Transcend furniture gallery, she does too. So nice to see😊😊❤❤

[@1pokermom]

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PIECE EVEN BEFORE!!!

[@caroltanzi29]

Love the way you use different finishes to create a new piece. Good looking! Carol from California, USA

[@Flippingdrawers]

Ha ha that’s for sure 😂 thanks ☺️

[@barbannco]

beautiful ...I love that you kept most of the beautiful oak natural

[@danal3178]

I truly appreciate the details you explain in your videos. I also appreciate you don’t talk on and on about non-essentials. Straight and to the point of what works and what don’t!

[@julianolan2860]

You Have transformed it! So much lighter! 🎉Bravo

[@ksmith96]

Oh my! You have SUCH a good eye. And your palettes are lovely. 😍😉👍🏾

Awesome! Thank you!

[@kaylaschroeder1]

Sir... There is genius in your artistry. Wow. 😍✨

[@kimchamberlain1108]

Once again Jay, another gorgeous piece 🤎🤎

[@CFinch360]

The gilding wax was the final touch of artistry. I also love Howards' Feed & Wax, it smells great and is relatively inexpensive. Wood is like our skin-if we never nourish it, it will dry and crack, looking older than it should look 🙂Greetings from Singapore

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you ☺️ glad you enjoyed it

[@euchrideucrow1970]

Oh fantastic! My favourite of your projects so far. I was thinking that the feature bar needed something extra and then you glided it, the cherry on the cake.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Oh thank you!

[@lizstokes9091]

That looks even better than the teaser pic implied!! Love it!!

[@Flippingdrawers]

😜

[@jillsmith6052]

I’m still catching up as I only discovered your videos fairly recently. What I love is the variety of finishes and techniques you use, always with so much skill and vision. You set the bar so very high!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Awesome! Thank you!

I appreciate how much work you do on these pieces. I hate sanding too! But the end results speak for themselves. This looks really fabulous and a really modern finish for something that looked liked it had seen the last of its days. Gorgeous!
