Kudos on the beginning of this video, Andy! Makeup and plotline were outstanding! I love buffet tops. This one is spectacular with the lighting, glass shelves and leaded glass doors. I think you have moved from furniture flipper solidly into furniture artist. At this point, you are charging for your artistry as well as your supplies and labor. My initial thought is $500-$700 for this gorgeous display cabinet. If it doesn’t sell, you can always drop the price after a week. I love the way you staged this cabinet several different ways. Maybe show some of those options when you list it.🌸
Wow, thanks so much Deborah! Humbled to be called an artist, and greatly appreciate your assessment of the value. That was the same range that was suggested to me by others - will for sure show those different options when I list. Cheers!
@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy I think your work is excellent. You might want to "window shop" at furniture stores and see the current prices the furniture stores are charging... not to mention Tax... and Shipping/Delivery.... and lag-time in delivery! If this was offered to me... and I had the perfect spot... I'd ea$ily pay $700-$800 for it! (I think you should also "autograph" your pieces somewhere... or at least attach an envelope that says which TH-cam video your items are featured in.) Keep up your great work, Andy!
That looks fabulous and I completely agree with your choice of wallpaper. I too paint with both hands, except for any fiddly bits. I have a reason, though; I have lympheodema in my right arm so it gets achey and my hand cramps up regularly; therefore, I change hands frequently. I've become somewhat ambidextrous, sort of.
@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy yes I had a wonderful early corner cupboard. It was wonderful. Unfortunately I got divorced and had to sell a lot of my best pieces off. That was a killer. But that’s life.
Good Morning everyone!. The top hutch turned out amazing. Love that you didn't paint the whole piece and the paper used works better than I expected. I think you should, at the very least, pricing the piece around $900 $1,200. It's a well made construction, leaded glass and lighting are valuable features and you magic makes it highly desirable. Better to start out high, you can always lower the price later. Amazing job Andy. Have a great day.

Don't sell yourself short on this piece just because it was free and didn't cost much in the way of time and $$$.
@@indie825 love this info, thanks so much! I agree - SO important not to sell ourselves short as artists - definitely need to do the research before listing. And getting this kind of feedback from such an educated audience so incredibly helpful!
Cyd in MD. OMG where have you been all my TH-cam viewing life? You are so funny!! Your opening brightened my day. I don't refinish furniture, but I love to laugh and you gliding around the garage on the seat was priceless. Thanks.
Ahhhhh! Licorice, while I love red, I'm obsessed with black. We spent some time in the ABC Islands which at the time were a part of the Netherlands. In the stores there were more types of Licorice than I could have imagined. I'm certain that I ate my weight in the yummy chewy stuff at least twice over. I do believe that if there is a committee who nominates You Tube performers for amazing awards (complete with fabulous "swag bags") you should win in all categories! I would list that beauty at 475. Love your choices.
I couldn't even WAIT to watch it before I commented...lol! This is THE BEST video you've ever done! The drama, the intrigue, the emotions, the......???? Oh, well, let me watch it and see what else I can come up with.
I love your videos. Ive got to binge watch on a rainy day to catch up. Who doesn't love storytelling. You would make an excellent teacher with that personality. You are amazingly talented. My new TH-cam best friend. I've been flipping furniture since I was a young girl, my dad was a painter. Now 60 years young have just started to sell pieces. I've learned so much from you! You make it fun, and your pieces are happy.
Wow, thank you Donna, this is so awesome to read! Makes me so happy you are enjoying the fables. That's amazing you have been flipping since you were a kiddo - I'm sure I could learn so much from you!! 😊❤️🙏
Just landed on your video today! Loved loved loved it!! Your work is amazing, beautiful transformation, very entertaining. You're a natural, so fun!!! ❤
When you showed the choices of wallpaper, I went with the leafy pattern. I was initially disappointed to see the busier colored pattern you chose, but when you took off the two middle doors...Wow! I changed my mind immediately. It looked gorgeous! So happy how it turned out. I think you should charge what you want to charge. $250.00 sounds good to me. Maybe someone who normally wouldn't be able to afford a hutch top like this would now be able to have one and treasure it for ever. I'm tired of seeing only the upper middle class have all of the nice things. The everyday working man/woman needJst to be able to have pretty and beautiful furniture as well. Just something to think about. It did turn out beautifully, so no matter what you charge, someone is going to have a wonderful piece in their home for a very long time. Congrats!
Love this, Peggy - thanks so much! I love your thinking about the pricing, very insightful. And thrilled the paper made sense in the end! For me, the piece needed that stronger print for balance. (even though I LOVE that leaf pattern too) Thanks again!
my favorite was the leafy pattern too...I also liked the bee pattern...but I think for me it would depend on what I used it for...but...I will say the boldness of the pattern she chose without the doors makes it look amazing!
Exactly what I was thinking. With all 4 doors the wallpaper was too dark, but with the middle doors removed it really popped! As for pricing, it depends what the customer is going to spend.
Finally finally some genuine honest to goodness creative and bold humor...oh yeah love me my seventy dollar Ethan Allen thrifted hutch. As far as the rest I shall call you the new Hyacinth Bouquet from Keeping up Appearances...
Gosh, I just love everything you've done do far. Laughing and learning at the same time. I enjoy lots of 'flippers' on youtube, and your videos are always so well made, professional, great music etc. Pat yourself on the back! Here's to 2022.
Love it. I have a China closet almost identical to that one. We bought it in 1980. The door handles are the same too. The wallpaper is perfect. I would have never used it and I am more plain, I guess I need to step out of my box!
Oh wow, that is great to hear! To me the wiring set up looked older, but perhaps this piece is late 70's early 80's! I can tell you I really agonized about the design concept for this piece -and in the end was soooo happy I went more strong/bold...the piece's lines could really support the look. Best of luck with yours should you decide to go for a change! 😊❤️
I really enjoyed the "tenstion between modern and rustic" of the end product, as you described it. To me, it feels many of our modern products are made of cardboard & sawdust (or plastic resin and glue, but that's another discussion altogether)... so seeing a wooden piece respected as wood, where possible, is very gratifying. The drama of the doors is particularly appealing! I would personally use all 4 of them, for reasons of symmetry and of cleanliness. As ever, your introduction was so enjoyable. Biff and Painterly are fun, but it's your evil twin who'll always be my favourite! Ever since your SAT test of the past season, I'm giggling when I see your evil twin - it's because your daughters were so surprised when your report card mentioned "character creation" as a bonus skill. That was such a delightful snarky subtle detail... I love it!
Many thanks, Meinhart! I agree - it can be more difficult to find quality in modern pieces, although thankfully, it is out there. I wasn't 100% sure my idea to leave as much of that original finish would work out, so was very happy when the result seemed to really balance itself and sing. Glad you enjoyed As The Paint Dries, (gotta give Her Highness a break every now and then) and glad you caught that "inside" joke...😅
Luv luv luv it!! So boho, so extraordinary, joyful, stunning, luv it with end doors , loved it more with no doors, here in australia, i would pay $1000, bcz no one else has one,
Thank you so much, Rita! So awesome to hear that - I too loved it in all of its various doors/no doors stages. 😅 And that's amazing to hear about your pricing suggestion - truly appreciate that. 🙏😊❤️
Andy, you rocked this piece. I don't like all the doors on, however I do like some doors on the pieces. That wallpaper just makes this piece pop. Amazing, thank you for sharing. Stay safe
I just don't watch your channel to learn but it's also like a series when u wait for the next episode! Thoroughly entertaining and informative. Can you sometimes share what your background is? You must've taken or taught drama or something. Amazing talent. Thanks for sharing it with us..
Wow, thank you so much Bushra! Perhaps I should do a quick "getting to know you" video for folks! In "real life" I am a professional musician, (conductor and singer) and I do occasionally perform on stage in musical theater productions. 😊
Gorgeous! I love those doors! I love the transformations of these outdated China cabinets. I like using them as bookcases as I have books rather than china. And I would list it around 450-500 for sure. Possibly more. It’s solid oak, with leaded glass doors..it could even be used as an upper cabinet in a kitchen that integrates an old piece into new design..which is currently very hot to do!
@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy I’ve seen quite a few kitchens lately with these integrated pieces and it lends an otherwise sterile kitchen some vintage charm. DeVol kitchens is a company who is notorious for it..in a great way! I love old house charm but new house convenience so I’m always looking for ways to blend the two concepts. :)
I liked the chevron pattern best. Your choice seems to make a nod to William Morris, and I like that as well. I have seen the top used as stand alone shelving and I really like that too. I have treasured my China cabinet since the late 70’s. ,and yes I know it is no longer in style, but please children do not paint my dinning room furniture. My daughter has the dinning room table and 8 chairs, And the Hunt Board. I also have a bar with a top that folds open , it is on wheels and very handy. We purchased it with the thought that it could be passed down and it would never wear out. I love the leaded glass doors, I would leave all of them. It fun to watch your creativity. I have done some furniture myself and you have encouraged me to try another piece. Thank you. 👏👏. 👵
Thanks very much, Katherine! And thanks for sharing about your set - I love to hear about people's experiences with their own pieces. 😊❤️ So happy to encourage you to try another piece!
Thanks Sue! I ALMOST did the bees - they are truly one of my favorites. Interestingly, I thought the strength of the piece overwhelmed them a tad, while that whimsical garden created more of a balance. Honestly, if I kept this one, I could see myself changing up that back paper once or twice a year...😊🐝❤️
My daughter and I were crying with laughter at the beginning, we both chose the liquorice and the coloured paper too. She turned out stunning real statement piece , I would probably list this in uk around the £375-£425 she’s worth it !!
Yes, it's true that the hourly rates for many skilled artistic jobs are not fantastically impressive. As a professional musician, I know this reality very well.
I feel like $325-350 is good. Pieces like this are rare today. Solid wood, stain glass style doors...it's a one of a kind piece. I'm sure you could go higher depending how long you want to sit on it.
THIS is why I love your channel! I would never had thought to separate the piece like that but wow! I love it! I bought a smaller assemble yourself display with doors at Target for 248, not real wood, no lights so I think at least 498! I love the wallpaper too and the legs! You are one smart cookie! Thanks for all your hard work and can't wait for next week's episode!
I love, love, love that wallpaper. I actually just ordered some for an accent wall in my kitchen that I’ve been struggling to figure out what to do. You always astound me with your ability to see a diamond in the rough. Beautiful as always.
What goes around comes around. I'm keeping my china cabinet and hutch, they will not be breaking up. They will be back in style in ten years. I love your fun way of making a point.
Love, l-o-v-e-, LOVE how you juxtapose your charming fables with your furniture makeovers! Funny, entertaining and informative and so enjoyable. I was a bit dubious about this “split-up” at first, but I love how it turned out. It’s fab.
Brenda - thank you so much! I can't tell you how amazing that is to hear. And thrilled you ended up liking the break-up! (LOL) Hoping these two pieces will now be able to find homes. Cheers! 😊🙏❤️
I honestly think you are underpricing the piece. It is a solid piece, well designed and constructed. It has features not often seen in these hutches... the leaded glass doors, which are absolutely beautiful. Add to this that you artistically upcycled the piece to a not common display case with multiple options. I would list it at $500. or a bit higher. Perhaps you think four hours of work merit the price you decided on but there is not just labor involved, there is also the creativity, the artistry and that too has worth. The piece is stunning, pat yourself on the back.
Thank you so much! Great feedback - and I agree. I often don't add in the time that I take to consider, think, plan, experiment, etc...basically, the creative process. I think your suggested price point is very reasonable! 😊👍
Three words: WOW, WOW, WOW!! I am amazed at how beautiful this piece/pieces turned out. Like you, I typically wouldn’t put wallpaper on the outside of a piece of furniture but it worked perfectly in this case. Love the touch phone! LOL!!
I felt encouraged seeing you sit on that rolling stool to complete most of the project, and then using the sawhorses to support the doors while you worked on them. I have some physical limitations d/t pain and really wanted to get into furniture makeover/restoration. I thought there was no way b/c my stupid body wouldn't cooperate. Once I can get my hands on one of those stools, a dolly, a solid table and some sawhorses, maybe I can do this!!! Thank you!
Hi Jayme, I'm so glad to hear you say this, I really understand. It's true that this can be a physically demanding job, but with the right tools, I'm able to keep doing it, regardless of ongoing chronic pain. I wish you the very best of luck! 😊♥️🙏
I have acquired several types of China hutches over the years. The base makes for great storage, like a chest of drawers, and always sells quickly here in this retirement/vacation area (SE NC). Sometimes I add bun feet to the hutch and then I can sell it. But they are usually difficult to handpaint.
Like it! I preferred the geometric light wallpaper to enhance and coordinate with the doors. Loved the paint color choice and leaving some wood. The current wallpaper looks better without doors, a shame. I think it should be listed at $350
I use both hands when painting as well. My dad was a house painter, taught me to paint at a very young age. He said, “a good painter can paint with left or right sometimes situations will need that talent.”
I have had the wall paper you used in my cart for months. I love it, but I wasn’t sure how it would look on furniture - especially with a darker frame. Turns out, I LOVE it. Guess I need to pull the plug and buy it!! And what a creative and beautiful piece you’ve created!
Great job, Andy! Love the opening.
Thanks! ❤️😊🙏

You are so fun!
Thank you so much!
Love black licorice of any kind! Love your videos! And your work is wonderful!💚
YAY!! Fist bump for black licorice. And thank you so much!!
Gorgeous! I love those doors! I love the transformations of these outdated China cabinets. I like using them as bookcases as I have books rather than china. And I would list it around 450-500 for sure. Possibly more. It’s solid oak, with leaded glass doors..it could even be used as an upper cabinet in a kitchen that integrates an old piece into new design..which is currently very hot to do!
Wow - Great idea!! Thanks so much - really appreciate the pricing feedback and such a cool idea as an integrated piece!
@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy I’ve seen quite a few kitchens lately with these integrated pieces and it lends an otherwise sterile kitchen some vintage charm. DeVol kitchens is a company who is notorious for it..in a great way! I love old house charm but new house convenience so I’m always looking for ways to blend the two concepts. :)
Stunning! Love the charcoal-lavender hue of the paint. I'm also an ambidextrous painter and love the challenge of cutting in with no tape!
Thanks so much! 😊 That's so interesting!
Awesome!!!!!!! I especially love it without the middle doors. It’s a gorgeous piece.❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much! I loved it that way too. 😊❤️🙏
OMG! That beginning 😲😢😂 outstanding!
Thank you!!! 😂😂😂👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Such a fun and informative piece!
Thanks so much, Diana!!
Oohhh, can't wait for the Biff part! 🤣 As a long time fan of Days of Our Lives, I have to say you nailed it! Lol
HONORED! Been watching Days since Jr High. 😊⏳
I liked the chevron pattern best. Your choice seems to make a nod to William Morris, and I like that as well. I have seen the top used as stand alone shelving and I really like that too. I have treasured my China cabinet since the late 70’s. ,and yes I know it is no longer in style, but please children do not paint my dinning room furniture. My daughter has the dinning room table and 8 chairs, And the Hunt Board. I also have a bar with a top that folds open , it is on wheels and very handy. We purchased it with the thought that it could be passed down and it would never wear out. I love the leaded glass doors, I would leave all of them. It fun to watch your creativity. I have done some furniture myself and you have encouraged me to try another piece. Thank you. 👏👏. 👵
Thanks very much, Katherine! And thanks for sharing about your set - I love to hear about people's experiences with their own pieces. 😊❤️ So happy to encourage you to try another piece!
You always make me smile and give me such inspiration for my own furniture makeovers! Thank you! 🥰
I'm so glad! Thanks so much for sharing that. 🙏❤️😊
You are crazy creative!! I so look forward to your productions!
Thank you so much, Maria! I love getting to create them and share with you! 😊❤️
I love your color choices. I am becoming a fan of making two separate pieces from one cabinet. As always, love your work.
Thank you, Susan! 😊🙏
Outstanding job, as always!
Many thanks, Janet!
Love the paint choice, love the feet, but I was really hoping for the bee wallpaper.
Thanks Sue! I ALMOST did the bees - they are truly one of my favorites. Interestingly, I thought the strength of the piece overwhelmed them a tad, while that whimsical garden created more of a balance. Honestly, if I kept this one, I could see myself changing up that back paper once or twice a year...😊🐝❤️
You are super hilarious! The montage at the being is amazing. 😂
So glad you enjoyed, thanks so much Shauna! 😊❤️
My daughter and I were crying with laughter at the beginning, we both chose the liquorice and the coloured paper too. She turned out stunning real statement piece , I would probably list this in uk around the £375-£425 she’s worth it !!
Wow, so happy to hear that!! 😂❤️😂 Many thanks - wonderful feedback!!
Oh how I love that black gray paint and that wallpaper! I'd price the piece at $400 - 500. It's beautiful.
Yay, thank you Karol!! Awesome to hear, and thanks for that pricing feedback! 😊❤️🙏
$45 so reasonable for your skilled labor. Here in Seattle my neighbor charges $55 for housecleaning. Yikes!!
Yes, it's true that the hourly rates for many skilled artistic jobs are not fantastically impressive. As a professional musician, I know this reality very well.
I aDoRe your fables!! Thank you so much for taking us along! :)
You are so welcome, Dawn! Thank you for watching!! 🙏🙏🙏
I feel like $325-350 is good. Pieces like this are rare today. Solid wood, stain glass style doors...it's a one of a kind piece. I'm sure you could go higher depending how long you want to sit on it.
Thank you! Great to hear.
I so enjoy everything about you channel, your voice is so beautiful, I smile almost the whole time I watch
Wow, thank you Alicia! What an incredibly nice thing to hear. 😊❤️😊❤️🙏🙏🙏
THIS is why I love your channel! I would never had thought to separate the piece like that but wow! I love it! I bought a smaller assemble yourself display with doors at Target for 248, not real wood, no lights so I think at least 498! I love the wallpaper too and the legs! You are one smart cookie! Thanks for all your hard work and can't wait for next week's episode!
Wow, thanks so much! 😊❤️🙏
I think black or dark gray and wood is my favorite combination! All round beautiful
Agree - kind of can't miss with that. Thanks so much!! 😊❤️
I love, love, love that wallpaper. I actually just ordered some for an accent wall in my kitchen that I’ve been struggling to figure out what to do. You always astound me with your ability to see a diamond in the rough. Beautiful as always.
Thanks so much, Kay!! Oooo...that'll be gorgeous! 😊❤️🙏
What goes around comes around. I'm keeping my china cabinet and hutch, they will not be breaking up. They will be back in style in ten years. I love your fun way of making a point.
You are so right! Thanks so much. 😊
Love, l-o-v-e-, LOVE how you juxtapose your charming fables with your furniture makeovers! Funny, entertaining and informative and so enjoyable. I was a bit dubious about this “split-up” at first, but I love how it turned out. It’s fab.
Brenda - thank you so much! I can't tell you how amazing that is to hear. And thrilled you ended up liking the break-up! (LOL) Hoping these two pieces will now be able to find homes. Cheers! 😊🙏❤️
Loved the melodrama and the final piece! Your videos stand out for all the right reasons.
Wow - thank you very much, Gina! 🙏🙏🙏
I honestly think you are underpricing the piece. It is a solid piece, well designed and constructed. It has features not often seen in these hutches... the leaded glass doors, which are absolutely beautiful. Add to this that you artistically upcycled the piece to a not common display case with multiple options. I would list it at $500. or a bit higher. Perhaps you think four hours of work merit the price you decided on but there is not just labor involved, there is also the creativity, the artistry and that too has worth. The piece is stunning, pat yourself on the back.
Thank you so much! Great feedback - and I agree. I often don't add in the time that I take to consider, think, plan, experiment, etc...basically, the creative process. I think your suggested price point is very reasonable! 😊👍
I love black licorice. Growing up my favorite candy was Good n Plenty.
Mmmm...loved those too. Fist bump for black licorice. 😊🖤
Awesome video production. Here in MI this type of piece would start well over $600 and sell quickly. Beautiful work.
Wow, thank you so much! That is great feedback to hear. 😊🙏❤️
Gorgeous ,very very beautiful ❤️
Thank you so much 😊
Three words: WOW, WOW, WOW!! I am amazed at how beautiful this piece/pieces turned out. Like you, I typically wouldn’t put wallpaper on the outside of a piece of furniture but it worked perfectly in this case. Love the touch phone! LOL!!
Thank you so much, Liz!! Truly appreciate hearing that! Wasn't that phone fun?? My kids LOVE it! 😂❤️🙏
Hahaha!!! Biff's sniff-sighs had me chuckling😆
Lol, oh good...he'll be thrilled to hear that his performance was appreciated. 😂🙏❤️
So much drama! I loved how the piece turned out.
LOL, right?!? Thanks so much! 😂🙏❤️
I felt encouraged seeing you sit on that rolling stool to complete most of the project, and then using the sawhorses to support the doors while you worked on them. I have some physical limitations d/t pain and really wanted to get into furniture makeover/restoration. I thought there was no way b/c my stupid body wouldn't cooperate. Once I can get my hands on one of those stools, a dolly, a solid table and some sawhorses, maybe I can do this!!! Thank you!
Hi Jayme, I'm so glad to hear you say this, I really understand. It's true that this can be a physically demanding job, but with the right tools, I'm able to keep doing it, regardless of ongoing chronic pain. I wish you the very best of luck! 😊♥️🙏
I have acquired several types of China hutches over the years. The base makes for great storage, like a chest of drawers, and always sells quickly here in this retirement/vacation area (SE NC). Sometimes I add bun feet to the hutch and then I can sell it. But they are usually difficult to handpaint.
Ah yes, I think that is not an uncommon experience!
Those are some brush skills!!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Like it!
I preferred the geometric light wallpaper to enhance and coordinate with the doors.
Loved the paint color choice and leaving some wood.
The current wallpaper looks better without doors, a shame.
I think it should be listed at $350
Thanks Anne! This is great feedback, appreciate it! 😊🙏
I use both hands when painting as well. My dad was a house painter, taught me to paint at a very young age. He said, “a good painter can paint with left or right sometimes situations will need that talent.”
Thanks for sharing that Donna, that is so interesting! Love that. 😊❤️
I have had the wall paper you used in my cart for months. I love it, but I wasn’t sure how it would look on furniture - especially with a darker frame. Turns out, I LOVE it. Guess I need to pull the plug and buy it!! And what a creative and beautiful piece you’ve created!
Wow, that's quite a coincidence! Obviously I'm a fan - such great saturated color - it can really balance darker frame colors. Thanks so much, Sharon!
Thank you for the inspiration, I think it turned out amazing. Poor Biff, he is going to miss his sweetheart.
Thanks so much!! (make sure you watch part two if you want more of Biff's story...) 😊
