What a fantastic musical ending to this video! Thank you Andy, I just love your channel. The combination of music, theater, and furniture refinishing is highly entertaining. I think you need your own sitcom. 🙂
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.
Oh my goodness, THANK YOU so much for this!! I'm honored to be causing some canine concern with the "weird barking". 😂😂😂 Really appreciate this feedback - I can't wait to bring you more fables fun! 🤓🙏💗
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!
Wow, Gloria. WOW, WOW, WOW!!! This is such a special story - thank you so much for sharing!! And I promise not to paint that tiger wood! 😅💗 So glad you enjoyed. 😊🙏
I just found your channel and spent the past 3 evenings binging every video. I adore everything about your makeovers. The comedy, the creativity, and the fact that you actually use so much color. Most furniture flippers stick to neutrals, which is understandable I guess for marketing, but my soul craves color (and comedy) … both of which you provide in spades. Now that I’ve burned through all your videos, I have to wait for new content. Keep up the beautiful work! ❤
This video is what sets your videos apart from everyone else’s! Not only are you redoing a piece of furniture, but you are transforming the story of that gem in the rough by performing a wonderful fable to accompany the shining star! I am so glad you made the decision to share your ideas with all of us out her in the world. It is always a pleasure to sit down and take a break to watch you perform! I can’t wait for season four… ❤️
I just adore your spin on things. Whilst the “how to’s” are just fine for learning a skill, they can be somewhat dry. Humor and story telling is universally interesting. You do that very well. Thank you Andy, for sharing that ability, and for sharing yourself. All the best, to you and yours, and I look forward to another exciting fable season.
Well Andy, so many things struck me. I have a "girl" friend named Andi, so your name never threw me. I grew up in a very musically oriented family (mom was an opera singer), so I could relate to that. I've always thoroughly enjoyed your channel, but now I feel like I know you so much better. It is brave to share so much of yourself. Thank you for trusting us with your personal side. You are such a blessing! Keep it up!
Wow, thanks so much! Yes, sounds like we have more than a few things in common! For sure it was a challenge to share like this - this is my first Q & A - so getting this feedback is wonderful. 😊
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... (not to mention your previously mentioned sci-fi/fantasy genre obsession and your overall goofiness 😄). I know it sounds stupid, but I don't "meet" a lot of people with such varied interests as mine. 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. 🙂
Sarah - first of all, THANK YOU so much for such a lovely comment!! Secondly - I am 49, weeks from 50! So you're young - you would've been a cute freshman when I was a senior. 😂 Seriously, we have so much to do and see and give - I'll keep swinging, if you will! 😊💗
Well that was really fun. Still smiling! It is amazing the way you have creatively combined your skills and talents and produced art and entertainment.
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!
Oh my goodness Alesha, thank you so very much for sharing this! Ugh - I too know of the Covid-quarantine-depression - I am so sorry you had to miss Christmas with your family. If my channel brought some happiness during that time, I am absolutely thrilled! Very honored to hear how much you are enjoying the channel - English teachers are stars in my book. Looking forward to bringing more fables fun soon! 🤓🙏✨
Thank you so much for sharing a real slice of your life with us! As usual, it was a wonderfully creative and enjoyable video from start to finish. Your concept is so well crafted and your characters are such a hoot. Having them as personalizations of furniture? Genius.
Wow! I had such a hard day at work today...... when I came home and saw your video all of that hardness fell away. Thank you for everything that you bring to us - your channel is such a wonderful bright spot in our lives!
Very nice to meet you and learn more about you and all your family! My favorite part of your channel is how you anthropomorphize the pieces and give them a story. Can't wait to see what happens next in As The Paint Dries! 🥰
Well, you hit this one outa the park, Dear!! I laughed, I cried, I sang, which is never something I thought I'd be saying about a furniture makeover artist's Q&A! 🤣 I look so forward to your videos as I always feel "at home" somehow when watching (and the "AbFab" thing put that over the top!). Thank you so much for sharing yourself and your family with us❣️
Thank you so much, Margot!! I cannot think of a lovelier compliment than hearing that you feel at home....thank you so much for sharing that! Cheers, Dahling! 😅🥂💗
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.
Laughing and crying....thank you so much for sharing this, Evonne. I'm so sorry for your profound loss, and I rejoice at your 44 years together. Thank you so much. 💗💗💗
I started watching your channel because of shared love of transforming furniture and you have helped me to learn more in that arena. The bonus of your amazing creativity to present that in such a unique and creative way has been beyond entertaining! I am very grateful that you take the rest of us along on your adventures ❤️
You are just a beautiful and creative joy! And I wasn't scared at the scary lady aka Drea this time! Love the music and thanks for allowing us to know you better.😃
I've been a subscriber since the early days of your channel, and so enjoy all aspects of it! I came for the furniture re-finishing, but the fables, characters, humor (and now singing!) have hooked me and reeled me in. Great Q&A; Absolutely Fabulous! See what I did there? I didn't miss that Eddy and Patsy reference! LOL! Cheers from St. Augustine, FL.
AH HA! Lol. I knew there was music and theater in your background. You are simply THE most delightful and wonderful person on TH-cam. I adore you and your channel. I honestly believe we could watch you peeling paint and enjoy it. Your personality is the real show. Learning a skill is just a bonus. It was wonderful meeting your family and hearing your very precious love story❤. I hope you do more of these question and answers, it was fablous ( Ab-Fab) of course. One of my all time favorites. Do you think there may be just a touch of Mrs Bucket, er Bouquet, in your alter ego as well? Love, love, love you and your channel.
I was in tears of laughter and I love how you create all the beauty content parts -- you are a natural win for everyone who is able to have you around. I am a big fan of Furniture Fables an your personality 😂😂
You are SO talented and I just love watching your channel even if I have no talent for redoing furniture. Your transformations are amazing and your theatrical talent and musical talent are wonderful and keep me and I'm sure many others looking forward to each and every video. I enjoyed getting to know you better....this video was great !
Thank you for this! I go by part of my middle name, too. I go by Marti, which is part of Martin, my great grandmother's maiden name. I got a lot of the boy's name teasing, too. I enjoy your channel SO MUCH!
You never disappoint! Thank you for giving us all a little glimpse into the “Famous Fabler”! Your love story is one that is usually only in fairy tales - I love that it is your reality. And Biff - I fall in love with him more every time I see him ;) Your projects are just incredible and so inspiring. Enjoy your break - it is so well deserved!
I am so glad you delved into the creation of your channel, the PG version of your college days::)) and the cast of entertaining characters you created, and your makeovers too! What a fresh fun way to spend my Sunday, Brava Girl!
Loved this "Getting to Know You"..... My daughter, Andrea, was always Andi growing up. A month ago, my grandson and his wife had a little girl. They have named her Andi! Love the name and, yes, it is a girl's name!!!
Hi Andy thankyou for sharing so much about you and your journey, I am so not surprised you have a connection with theatre and hearing your " alter ego" sing in the intro was surprised or I should say pleasantly not surprised that you can sing too, you have a beautiful family and I can see both you and John in your gorgeous girls, I noticed while you told us about John you blushed quite a bit "very sweet" as you did while talking about your grandma's desk and how you created your characters I feel these are things you are very passionate or feel deeply about , you are an amazing, fantasticlly, wonderful talent Andy both unique and marvellous, and your advice about flipping and or selling etc I find I can apply to my very small wood sign business and I thank you for that infact a lot of the little tips and tricks you show have helped me get better results with my signs as I had paint everything,, I absolutely love your channel and truly look forward to your videos , congratulations on reaching this milestone I hope to be still watching and learning from you as you reach the next one and so on ,thanks again Andy, take care all the very best to you and yours always Mary in Australia 🌻😘
Mary, it's such a joy to read your comments - thank you so much for this extra special one!! Truly appreciate your support, and loved hearing about your business. I'm thrilled if I've helped with tips! Looking forward to more fables fun, all the best to you and yours! 😊🎶✨💗
Well Andi, I totally get a kindred spirit vibe off you (I live in Anne land in Canada). I enjoy your content so much, you crack me up plus amaze me with your many talents! Great fun and informative, ya just can't beat that combo! Enjoy your break, but I'll be awaiting your return ....
Oh, Andy...this was fabulous. We theatre people do love making a production out of things. :) Not sure I will ever remake a piece of furniture, but as a fellow thespian, I love watching your channel. I teach directing classes at my local community theatre and I chuckled at your advice to start small. So true. I tell my directing students, please, please don't direct your "dream show" your first time out. Start with a basic set, small cast...etc. I'm sure you understand! Keep those characters coming. And the remakes, too! Best wishes for a great and theatrical year!
Hooray, I love finding kindred theater-furniture-makeover-enthusiast spirits!! 😂💗 Thanks so much, Carol - this is so awesome to read, especially from a someone who teaches directing - so fabulous. Looking forward to bringing more fun! 🎭
The only thing I didn’t love about this video was your announcement that this was the end of the season, and now I will have to wait to see the next Furniture Fables. Thank you for your creativity, hard work, and humor. We need it all!
This is far and away the best Q&A I've seen! This comes as no surprise though as you are so genuine and kind and a great story teller. For me, this is a master class on how these should be done so, thank you! I just adore you!
Your creativity, philosophy, production expertise, writing, musical performance, technical advice, human connections, and (?), oh yes, something about furniture, are simply breathtaking! Congratulations!!!
This was so much fun! I guessed theater, but I have always thought that you were a voice actress! I just want to let you know that I really love your videos. Thank you!
Loved the “mushy stuff”. Your clarity of thought and simple communication style makes you a joy to watch and listen to. Thank you for starting this channel.
I watch a lot of furniture artists all of them wonderful but you channel is just plain fun! I look forward to new content and you perspective on rehabbing a piece.
Andy, I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this video! You are soooo TALENTED/GIFTED! I have looked forward to EACH of your videos and have not been disappointed in any of them. You certainly have given wisdom today for each of us in our own lives to ponder. Your HUMOR also been extremely a joy for me to enjoy and laugh! I also enjoy seeing your family. Thank you & God bless 😄🤗🥰
Bravo 👏 Congratulations on a great season….Enjoyed everything about this.. You are amazingly talented….looking forward to next season and seeing you at the theater 🎭
Thanks so much, Kim! And thanks for supporting me this whole time! Really looking forward to bringing more fables, and definitely looking forward to seeing you too at the theater. 🤓💗🎶
Congrats on the anniversary! Enjoyed getting to know all about you; you are a kindred spirit. (Probably why I love your videos!) Ooh, are we going to see the variety of ways to make over a simple dresser?!
Hi Andy, I'm Karen from Charlotte, NC. I so love your channel and I'm excited to see how close I am to to being correct about your background. I felt certain you had a musical and possible drama background since your videos are so entertaining. Love your work.
Andy: I have tuned in for about a month (and have combed the last year). Thank YOU for bringing such warmth, humanity and creativity to your clips! in these intense times, you are creating a positive and wonderful community. Best wishes from Massachusetts
This was so sweet! Funny, interesting and so heartwarming! I got a tear in my eye when you were talking about your sweet husband!! OH MY!! Loved this!!! \o/
Love this so much!!!!! You are artistic in so many ways! Thank you for such a unique channel! It’s not list on me that Andy is singing the song from Toy Story with Andy!
Thank you for sharing more about you. It was really good to know more about your background and your story. I love how you encourage others. You really left me thinking about making my TH-cam channel my own and also make it fun. You are the most original furniture artist I see in TH-cam, congratulations, wishing you the best in the future. I also love to see how bless you are with your husband and family. I consider myself really blessed also with my husband and his support with all his support. ❤️
Thank you so much! It's so nice to hear you enjoyed this - it was my fist Q and A, and so wasn't sure exactly what folks would enjoy. Truly appreciate it! 😊💗
This was so much fun! I had my lunch (with you) while I watched. You are just a wonderful breath of fresh air and always and inspiration. Love you Andy!!
Thank you Andy.....I literally grab my Coffee and Sit down and Enjoy your video and I absolutely Love love this one ..Thank you Oh so much ..you're amazing and Soo creative and talented ..Stay blessed and I Hope Biff is hereto stay and Drea too🥰❣️👍❣️❣️
@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy you're Just Amazing ... You Offer Soo much ..I'm literally like a little Kid excited to watch one of your fables and furniture art ..🙃❣️👍👍
Andie I just love your channel. I've been smiling for the past 45 minutes watching it. Your story of how you and John met was so sweet and genuine. It's what sets you apart from the other furniture refinishers. I hope you stay inspired because I'm looking forward to many more Furniture Fables to come. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
thank you for sharing your history, your fun approach to life and living and your incredible talent with all of us. I always look forward to your videos; it's just a treat!
Enjoyed your Q&A How fun. And so sweet how you meet John. Love the tiny fables before and at the end of your vlogs. Thank you for the tips. Looking forward to your next vlog. Oh you have a fables friend with me, ha ha
You have an amazing creative eye for color to paint project and which part to leave natural. Thanks for sharing yourself today. A true blessing to have a supporting husband. Somehow I believe you are as supportive in his choices.
Andy, I love the curtains nearby and wondered if you stenciled them? I love everything about your channel. Your background, sense of humor and imagination combined with having fun is pure magic. Thank you for sharing this joy with us.
o.m. gawwwd Andy! You have so motivated me in so many ways. I'm an "older " woman of 65 and some days I feel like "what's the point?" and yet.. life is STILL a beautiful thing and that is what makes your channel so special. Who knew furniture could be so fun and inspiring ?😂 I even think about doing my own channel! idk. ANYway....huzzah Andy🎉
Hey, Kathy, regardless of our age or how few years we think we’ve got left to live, do things for the joy it brings, that’s the point. That’s my motto, Marie Condo’s too. I’m 68 and have a progressive disease that most likely I’ll succumb to within the next 2-5 yrs, unless a car hits me tomorrow, etc. Haha. But I’m still making plans to paint several of my vintage antique furniture pieces, finish a few furniture pieces I started making a few years ago, and day dreaming, living vicariously through adventurers on YT and find joy watching Andi and her furniture fabled-side kicks! So do it, girl, have fun!
@@greeneyedgirlina yes Deb, I agree. Life is for the living and I ain't dead yet! I'll sing and play my guitar and paint and cook and swim and marvel at the beauty still there... thank you for your kind response. Blessings
Wow, thank you! Especially appreciate the acknowledgment of the trust thing - this was my first Q and A, and that was definitely something I thought about!! 🤓💗🙏
@@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.
Thank you for the "Getting To Know You." You are very informative with tips on painting and also so very entertaining...so much fun! I think I am in love Biff! Drea, your alter ego, is also so delightful! Please keep them coming! What a wonderful story on how you met your husband. I have so many things I have to paint ...two corner hutches, a bookcase, a secretary and an old English pine dresser. I did paint our nightstands (turned out okay), and I do have the paint colors picked out for all, I just need the courage to pull out the paint brushes and get started! Love you Andy, all the best to you and your family, Take care!
Wow, thank you so much!! So appreciate you comment, and Biff is THRILLED to hear this! 😂 I feel you on that courage thing...often I am right there too, practically dragging myself out to the paint...then I'm so happy I'm there. Thanks again - see you soon with more fables fun!
Anybody commenting that you shouldn’t be painting a piece of furniture on a furniture painting and flipping channel, is just a troll or mentally disturbed and should just be ignored. That’s my two cents. This was so much fun. It was really nice to learn more about you. And thank you for sharing furniture flipping and yourself with us. You really brighten my day and I look forward to Saturday fables.
Thank you so much for this video. It was great to find out how you got involved with furniture refinishing and starting a you tube channel. I also thought that you had a background in music or musical theatre because of your musical selections. As always, this is one of my favorite channels. Looking forward to the next season!🥰
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!
Oh wow, thank you so very much for this, Kate! What an incredible thing to get to read - truly appreciate your feedback and encouragement. Your description is exactly what I was hoping to create, so this is such a pleasure. Many many thanks. 💗🙏😊
Andy this was so amazing! By the way happy anniversary! The 1st year already,wow! I’ve been following you since then and I will continue to do so. God bless and many more years on TH-cam!
Hi Andy (or Andrea), Cathy here. I just love you and your channel! You are so fun, knowledgeable, talented, AND you do a great job on your furniture pieces!! Don’t ever change anything about your videos-we all love them too much. 😃
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!

What a fantastic musical ending to this video! Thank you Andy, I just love your channel. The combination of music, theater, and furniture refinishing is highly entertaining. I think you need your own sitcom. 🙂
LOL, thanks Beth!! So awesome to hear that - I sure would love a team of folks to help me! 😂🙏💗
I agree!!!
Really enjoyed this content. It was a 3 liked episode . Thanks for sharing.

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.

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!
Wow, Gloria. WOW, WOW, WOW!!! This is such a special story - thank you so much for sharing!! And I promise not to paint that tiger wood! 😅💗 So glad you enjoyed. 😊🙏

Thanks so much, Joyce!! It's so encouraging to hear your feedback, truly appreciate it. 🤓🙏💗
Well Andy, so many things struck me. I have a "girl" friend named Andi, so your name never threw me.

I know it sounds stupid, but I don't "meet" a lot of people with such varied interests as mine. 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. 🙂
Sarah - first of all, THANK YOU so much for such a lovely comment!! Secondly - I am 49, weeks from 50! So you're young - you would've been a cute freshman when I was a senior. 😂 Seriously, we have so much to do and see and give - I'll keep swinging, if you will! 😊💗
Well that was really fun. Still smiling! It is amazing the way you have creatively combined your skills and talents and produced art and entertainment.
Thank you so much! SO appreciate this feedback!! 🤓🙏💗
"Do whatever you want to the dresser." Amen to that! Love this video!! Thanks for doing it!
Thanks, Krista!! 😉👊
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!
Oh my goodness Alesha, thank you so very much for sharing this! Ugh - I too know of the Covid-quarantine-depression - I am so sorry you had to miss Christmas with your family. If my channel brought some happiness during that time, I am absolutely thrilled! Very honored to hear how much you are enjoying the channel - English teachers are stars in my book. Looking forward to bringing more fables fun soon! 🤓🙏✨
Cyd in MD. That was the best Q & A ever. I can hardly wait until the next season.
WOW, thank you so much, Cyd!! Honored. And thanks so much for your support all along!! 🤓✨🙏
Thank you so much for sharing a real slice of your life with us! As usual, it was a wonderfully creative and enjoyable video from start to finish. Your concept is so well crafted and your characters are such a hoot. Having them as personalizations of furniture? Genius.
Thank you so much! Amazing feedback - truly appreciate it. 😊💗🙏
You are so great, so thoughtful in your expression. I’m thankful for knowing you a little better know. Carry on!
Hooray!! Many thanks, Cindy. 🤓🙏💗
You just make me smile every time I watch your channel…do you realize how special a gift that is? Thanks for sharing 😊
I'm humbled and honored if I've made you smile, thank you so so much for sharing this!!! 😊🙏
Wow! I had such a hard day at work today...... when I came home and saw your video all of that hardness fell away. Thank you for everything that you bring to us - your channel is such a wonderful bright spot in our lives!
Wow - now my day has been made!! Thank you so much for sharing thing, I truly appreciate it. 😊✨🙏💗
Very nice to meet you and learn more about you and all your family! My favorite part of your channel is how you anthropomorphize the pieces and give them a story. Can't wait to see what happens next in As The Paint Dries! 🥰
Thanks so much, Karen! Can't wait to bring more As The Paint Dries drama! 😂🤓🙏
Well, you hit this one outa the park, Dear!! I laughed, I cried, I sang, which is never something I thought I'd be saying about a furniture makeover artist's Q&A! 🤣 I look so forward to your videos as I always feel "at home" somehow when watching (and the "AbFab" thing put that over the top!). Thank you so much for sharing yourself and your family with us❣️
Thank you so much, Margot!! I cannot think of a lovelier compliment than hearing that you feel at home....thank you so much for sharing that! Cheers, Dahling! 😅🥂💗
Oh my goodness! You start by singing a song from the last production I was in (ensemble, the wife with twins!). Thanks so so so much for the smile!
Wow, so awesome!! You are more than welcome, thanks for watching!
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.
Laughing and crying....thank you so much for sharing this, Evonne. I'm so sorry for your profound loss, and I rejoice at your 44 years together. Thank you so much. 💗💗💗
I started watching your channel because of shared love of transforming furniture and you have helped me to learn more in that arena. The bonus of your amazing creativity to present that in such a unique and creative way has been beyond entertaining! I am very grateful that you take the rest of us along on your adventures ❤️
I'm so glad to hear this, Marsha - thank you so much! 😊 🙏💗
You are just a beautiful and creative joy! And I wasn't scared at the scary lady aka Drea this time! Love the music and thanks for allowing us to know you better.😃
Thank you so much! And so glad that Drea wasn't too much! 😂😂😂
Andersonville, Tennessee here! Can hardly wait for Season 4!
Hi out there in Andersonville, from Bay Area, California!! Can't wait to bring it! 🤓✨🙏
I've been a subscriber since the early days of your channel, and so enjoy all aspects of it! I came for the furniture re-finishing, but the fables, characters, humor (and now singing!) have hooked me and reeled me in. Great Q&A; Absolutely Fabulous! See what I did there? I didn't miss that Eddy and Patsy reference! LOL! Cheers from St. Augustine, FL.
YES Brenda, LOVE what you did there!!! 👏👏👏 Thanks so so much, truly appreciate your support all along on this journey!! Cheers, Dahling! 🤓🙏💗🥂
AH HA! Lol. I knew there was music and theater in your background. You are simply THE most delightful and wonderful person on TH-cam. I adore you and your channel. I honestly believe we could watch you peeling paint and enjoy it. Your personality is the real show. Learning a skill is just a bonus. It was wonderful meeting your family and hearing your very precious love story❤. I hope you do more of these question and answers, it was fablous ( Ab-Fab) of course. One of my all time favorites. Do you think there may be just a touch of Mrs Bucket, er Bouquet, in your alter ego as well? Love, love, love you and your channel.
Oh wow, LOVE this so much!! Thanks Tava, I'm honored!! Yes for sure, some Hyacinth Boo-kay (lol) mixed in there too!! 😂😂😂🤓💗🎶
You are such a creative person. Very inspiring!
Thanks so much!
I was in tears of laughter and I love how you create all the beauty content parts -- you are a natural win for everyone who is able to have you around. I am a big fan of Furniture Fables an your personality 😂😂
Hooray! SO happy to read this - thank you so much, Monika!! 🤓🎶😂✨💗
You are SO talented and I just love watching your channel even if I have no talent for redoing furniture. Your transformations are amazing and your theatrical talent and musical talent are wonderful and keep me and I'm sure many others looking forward to each and every video. I enjoyed getting to know you better....this video was great !
Yay, thank you so much for this, Becky!! Lovely to hear. 🤓🙏🎶💗
Thank you for this! I go by part of my middle name, too. I go by Marti, which is part of Martin, my great grandmother's maiden name. I got a lot of the boy's name teasing, too. I enjoy your channel SO MUCH!
Yay, kindred name spirit!! Thanks so much, Marti - truly appreciate it!!
You never disappoint! Thank you for giving us all a little glimpse into the “Famous Fabler”! Your love story is one that is usually only in fairy tales - I love that it is your reality.
And Biff - I fall in love with him more every time I see him ;)
Your projects are just incredible and so inspiring. Enjoy your break - it is so well deserved!
Wow wow wow - thank you so much, Dana!! Biff is THRILLED to hear this and says "hey", and I say a HUGE thank you! 🤓🙏💗
You will be missed! Have a great summer......
Thanks, Patricia!! 🤓🙏✨
Bowing to your many talents!!!! You are a wonder and love watching your channel grow and your many fables ahead!
Thanks so much, Tanya!! 😊✨💗🎶
I am so glad you delved into the creation of your channel, the PG version of your college days::)) and the cast of entertaining characters you created, and your makeovers too! What a fresh fun way to spend my Sunday, Brava Girl!
Thank you so much, Sandy!! 🤓🎶💗
Loved this "Getting to Know You"..... My daughter, Andrea, was always Andi growing up. A month ago, my grandson and his wife had a little girl. They have named her Andi! Love the name and, yes, it is a girl's name!!!
Oh I love this so much!! Congrats on your beautiful great-granddaughter and how wonderful that she has that name! 💗💗💗
Hi Andy thankyou for sharing so much about you and your journey, I am so not surprised you have a connection with theatre and hearing your " alter ego" sing in the intro was surprised or I should say pleasantly not surprised that you can sing too, you have a beautiful family and I can see both you and John in your gorgeous girls, I noticed while you told us about John you blushed quite a bit "very sweet" as you did while talking about your grandma's desk and how you created your characters I feel these are things you are very passionate or feel deeply about , you are an amazing, fantasticlly, wonderful talent Andy both unique and marvellous, and your advice about flipping and or selling etc I find I can apply to my very small wood sign business and I thank you for that infact a lot of the little tips and tricks you show have helped me get better results with my signs as I had paint everything,, I absolutely love your channel and truly look forward to your videos , congratulations on reaching this milestone I hope to be still watching and learning from you as you reach the next one and so on ,thanks again Andy, take care all the very best to you and yours always Mary in Australia 🌻😘
Mary, it's such a joy to read your comments - thank you so much for this extra special one!! Truly appreciate your support, and loved hearing about your business. I'm thrilled if I've helped with tips! Looking forward to more fables fun, all the best to you and yours! 😊🎶✨💗
@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy you are most welcome, 😘♥️
Well Andi, I totally get a kindred spirit vibe off you (I live in Anne land in Canada). I enjoy your content so much, you crack me up plus amaze me with your many talents! Great fun and informative, ya just can't beat that combo! Enjoy your break, but I'll be awaiting your return ....
Thanks so much, Marilyn! So fantastic to hear this - definitely looking forward to bringing more fables fun. 😊💗
Thank you so much for sharing your life and loves with us! You have gotten more beautiful with age!💜
So sweet, thank you so much!! 🤓🙏💗
Oh, Andy...this was fabulous. We theatre people do love making a production out of things. :) Not sure I will ever remake a piece of furniture, but as a fellow thespian, I love watching your channel. I teach directing classes at my local community theatre and I chuckled at your advice to start small. So true. I tell my directing students, please, please don't direct your "dream show" your first time out. Start with a basic set, small cast...etc. I'm sure you understand! Keep those characters coming. And the remakes, too! Best wishes for a great and theatrical year!
Hooray, I love finding kindred theater-furniture-makeover-enthusiast spirits!! 😂💗 Thanks so much, Carol - this is so awesome to read, especially from a someone who teaches directing - so fabulous. Looking forward to bringing more fun! 🎭
The only thing I didn’t love about this video was your announcement that this was the end of the season, and now I will have to wait to see the next Furniture Fables. Thank you for your creativity, hard work, and humor. We need it all!
Thanks so much, Barbara - what a great comment to get to read. Looking forward to bringing more soon!! 😊💗
So glad to get to know you. I have so enjoyed your vlog! My favorite piece was the bar cabinet you made for your husband. So lovely!
Thank you so much, Ruth! (My fav too.) 😊💗🙏
This is far and away the best Q&A I've seen! This comes as no surprise though as you are so genuine and kind and a great story teller. For me, this is a master class on how these should be done so, thank you! I just adore you!
Wow Kathleen - thank YOU so much for such incredible feedback!!! 🤓🙏💗✨🎶
@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy You're very welcome!
Well that was positively delightful! Thank you for doing this, Andy!
My pleasure, so glad you enjoyed!! Many thanks to you. 💗😊🙏
Your creativity, philosophy, production expertise, writing, musical performance, technical advice, human connections, and (?), oh yes, something about furniture, are simply breathtaking! Congratulations!!!
WOW, thank you SO MUCH!! And thank you for your sharing your incredible idea with me...😉😊💗
This was so much fun! I guessed theater, but I have always thought that you were a voice actress! I just want to let you know that I really love your videos. Thank you!
Thanks so much, Moranda!! Truly appreciate hearing that. 🤓🙏💗
Come for the furniture flipping, stay for the theater and philosophical commentary ;)
LOVE this. Thanks so much!! 🤓💗✨

Andy, I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this video! You are soooo TALENTED/GIFTED! I have looked forward to EACH of your videos and have not been disappointed in any of them.

Thank you & God bless 😄🤗🥰
Wow, thank you so much, Sheila! This is so lovely to get to read, I appreciate it so much!! ✨🤓💗

Congrats on the anniversary! Enjoyed getting to know all about you; you are a kindred spirit. (Probably why I love your videos!) Ooh, are we going to see the variety of ways to make over a simple dresser?!
Hi Andy, I'm Karen from Charlotte, NC. I so love your channel and I'm excited to see how close I am to to being correct about your background. I felt certain you had a musical and possible drama background since your videos are so entertaining. Love your work.
Thanks so much, Karen!! Yes, sounds like you were right on the money. 😊 💗
Andy: I have tuned in for about a month (and have combed the last year). Thank YOU for bringing such warmth, humanity and creativity to your clips! in these intense times, you are creating a positive and wonderful community. Best wishes from Massachusetts
Wow - thank you so much for this Kathleen! Truly appreciate your insight and feedback, it means a lot. 😊🙏💗
What a nice video to get to know you. When you mentioned the warped desk I thought “grandma’s sacrificial desk” in a positive way. 💕
Thanks so much!! Lol, so true!! 😂
This was so sweet! Funny, interesting and so heartwarming! I got a tear in my eye when you were talking about your sweet husband!! OH MY!!
Loved this!!! \o/
Thank you so much, Sue!!
Really enjoyed this!! Thank you for all the little tips and sharing of mishaps . 💙
So glad, thanks Patty!
Love this so much!!!!! You are artistic in so many ways! Thank you for such a unique channel! It’s not list on me that Andy is singing the song from Toy Story with Andy!
😂 Thanks so much, and good catch there!! 😂💗🎶
Good morning all!
Thank you for sharing more about you. It was really good to know more about your background and your story. I love how you encourage others. You really left me thinking about making my TH-cam channel my own and also make it fun. You are the most original furniture artist I see in TH-cam, congratulations, wishing you the best in the future. I also love to see how bless you are with your husband and family. I consider myself really blessed also with my husband and his support with all his support. ❤️
Thank you so much! It's so nice to hear you enjoyed this - it was my fist Q and A, and so wasn't sure exactly what folks would enjoy. Truly appreciate it! 😊💗
Love watching your videos. They are so fun and informative. Have learned a lot from you. Not as brave on color, just started refinishing furniture.
Thanks so much!! And that's wonderful that you've started! That's the hardest part, in my opinion. I'm cheering you on!! 😊🙏💗
You are amazing Andy! I just loved this video. Your voice is spectacular. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, thank you so much, Kate! 🤓🎶💗
That was really fun...thanks 🧡🧡🧡
You are very welcome, thanks for watching!!
Looking forward to more Furniture Fables. You are so talented!! Love your channel:)
Thank you so much! Can't wait to bring more!
I knew it! I always thought you had a theatrical/or drama background. Thanks for sharing more about that!
You're very welcome, thanks for watching!
I just love you! I, too, love painting outside with a brush!
Isn't it lovely? Thanks so much, Dawn!! 🤓💗🎶
This was so much fun! I had my lunch (with you) while I watched. You are just a wonderful breath of fresh air and always and inspiration. Love you Andy!!
Wow, thanks so much for the lunch date!! 😊💗🙏
You are very entertaining and talented! We lived in Los Gatos in Redwood Estates for 2 years. Beautiful part of CA.
Oh wow - we were practically neighbors!! Thanks so much, JoAnn!

YAY, thanks so much, Debra!! ☕️🤓
@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy you're Just Amazing ... You Offer Soo much ..I'm literally like a little Kid excited to watch one of your fables and furniture art ..🙃❣️👍👍
Andie I just love your channel. I've been smiling for the past 45 minutes watching it. Your story of how you and John met was so sweet and genuine. It's what sets you apart from the other furniture refinishers. I hope you stay inspired because I'm looking forward to many more Furniture Fables to come. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much, Ann!! So nice to hear that. (I didn't know if folks would enjoy hearing that! 😅)
Loved this so much! The questions, the answers, the duet...all done with aplomb!
Wow, thanks so much, Stefanie!! 🤓✨🎶💗
thank you for sharing your history, your fun approach to life and living and your incredible talent with all of us. I always look forward to your videos; it's just a treat!
Thank you so much for all your support and kind comments - truly appreciate it!!
Enjoyed your Q&A How fun. And so sweet how you meet John. Love the tiny fables before and at the end of your vlogs. Thank you for the tips. Looking forward to your next vlog. Oh you have a fables friend with me, ha ha
YAY Jill!! First to say that. 😉🤓👍 Thanks so much, truly appreciate it!!
Andy, you are fabulous! I was down and you made my day. I enjoy every one of your videos. Thank you. ❤️
Oh I'm SO glad to hear that, Rosalie!! Thank you so much! ✨💗🤓
You have an amazing creative eye for color to paint project and which part to leave natural. Thanks for sharing yourself today.
A true blessing to have a supporting husband. Somehow I believe you are as supportive in his choices.
Thank you so much! I'd certainly like to think/hope so. 😊💗
Andy, I love the curtains nearby and wondered if you stenciled them? I love everything about your channel. Your background, sense of humor and imagination combined with having fun is pure magic. Thank you for sharing this joy with us.
Thanks so much, Louise! No I found those fun curtains at IKEA. 🤓💛💙
Andy, your channel is sooo much fun... keep it up... we need some fun! 😜😜😍😍❤❤
Thank you, and you bet!! 🤓✨🥳
Oh boy, I'm so excited about this video!!
🤓✨👍
o.m. gawwwd Andy! You have so motivated me in so many ways. I'm an "older " woman of 65 and some days I feel like "what's the point?" and yet.. life is STILL a beautiful thing and that is what makes your channel so special. Who knew furniture could be so fun and inspiring ?😂 I even think about doing my own channel! idk. ANYway....huzzah Andy🎉
Hooray!!! Thanks so much, Kathy! And YES - you absolutely can do it!! You sound to me like you are 65 yrs young. 💗💗💗
Hey, Kathy, regardless of our age or how few years we think we’ve got left to live, do things for the joy it brings, that’s the point. That’s my motto, Marie Condo’s too. I’m 68 and have a progressive disease that most likely I’ll succumb to within the next 2-5 yrs, unless a car hits me tomorrow, etc. Haha. But I’m still making plans to paint several of my vintage antique furniture pieces, finish a few furniture pieces I started making a few years ago, and day dreaming, living vicariously through adventurers on YT and find joy watching Andi and her furniture fabled-side kicks! So do it, girl, have fun!
@@greeneyedgirlina yes Deb, I agree. Life is for the living and I ain't dead yet! I'll sing and play my guitar and paint and cook and swim and marvel at the beauty still there... thank you for your kind response. Blessings
@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy some days yes, other days, meh, not so much lol, nevertheless I thank you for all the ways you brighten our days 😊
OMG! You are so talented! Who knew a Q&A video could be so entertaining! Love your channel!
Yay, thank you so much, Mari!! 🤓✨💗
Thank you so much for this video and for sharing yourself with us❣️
You are so welcome, and thank you so much for all your support, Ruthie!!
I have only two words--thank you... for trusting us and allowing us to peer in and see your life and family. Brava! Beautifully done!
Wow, thank you! Especially appreciate the acknowledgment of the trust thing - this was my first Q and A, and that was definitely something I thought about!! 🤓💗🙏
@@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.
Thank you for the "Getting To Know You." You are very informative with tips on painting and also so very entertaining...so much fun! I think I am in love Biff! Drea, your alter ego, is also so delightful! Please keep them coming! What a wonderful story on how you met your husband. I have so many things I have to paint ...two corner hutches, a bookcase, a secretary and an old English pine dresser. I did paint our nightstands (turned out okay), and I do have the paint colors picked out for all, I just need the courage to pull out the paint brushes and get started! Love you Andy, all the best to you and your family, Take care!
Wow, thank you so much!! So appreciate you comment, and Biff is THRILLED to hear this! 😂 I feel you on that courage thing...often I am right there too, practically dragging myself out to the paint...then I'm so happy I'm there. Thanks again - see you soon with more fables fun!
Thanks for the laughs. 😂. You are so creative in so many ways.
Thank you!! 🤓✨💗
Anybody commenting that you shouldn’t be painting a piece of furniture on a furniture painting and flipping channel, is just a troll or mentally disturbed and should just be ignored. That’s my two cents.
This was so much fun. It was really nice to learn more about you. And thank you for sharing furniture flipping and yourself with us. You really brighten my day and I look forward to Saturday fables.
I think you are definitely on to something there...😂😂😂 Thanks so much, so awesome to hear this!!🤓🙏💗
Thank you so much for this video. It was great to find out how you got involved with furniture refinishing and starting a you tube channel. I also thought that you had a background in music or musical theatre because of your musical selections. As always, this is one of my favorite channels. Looking forward to the next season!🥰
You are so welcome, and thank you so much for watching and for such a wonderful comment!! An honor to be among your favorites. 🙏🤓✨
💗💗💗what a great treat today!
YAY!! Thanks so much, Becky!!
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!
Oh wow, thank you so very much for this, Kate! What an incredible thing to get to read - truly appreciate your feedback and encouragement. Your description is exactly what I was hoping to create, so this is such a pleasure. Many many thanks. 💗🙏😊
Andy this was so amazing! By the way happy anniversary! The 1st year already,wow! I’ve been following you since then and I will continue to do so. God bless and many more years on TH-cam!
Thanks so much, Abigail!! 😊💗🥂
Hi Andy (or Andrea), Cathy here. I just love you and your channel! You are so fun, knowledgeable, talented, AND you do a great job on your furniture pieces!! Don’t ever change anything about your videos-we all love them too much. 😃
YAY!! Thanks so much, Cathy!!! 🤓💗🙏🎶
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!
So many Awww moments here 💜 Congratulations to one year and I hope you will be with us for many more years and give us more knowledge and smiles.
I hope so too! Thanks so much!! 😊💗🥂
Awesome video! Thank you!
You are so welcome!! Thanks for watching, Donna!
