I purchased this old mid-century buffet or partial hutch for $25. It had been painted yellow by the previous owner. In this video, I will remove the old paint with the carbide scraper, detailed scrapers, and dental tools. I enjoy sharing my furniture restoration journey, and whether it's a full restoration or just a refinishing, I trust you will enjoy what I have to share. Thank you for all your support. Barry

This is the best mattress I have ever owned, and I look forward to continuing to work with Birch Living
My favorite...Forrest Gump
Another gem!
This is my first time to your channel, your work is impeccable!!! I will definitely be back, you've also peaked my interest in seeing the video of the piece at the end. A great big thank you for the referral to Birch Living. I've wanted a new mattress for a long time, but couldn't find anything that match the quality of what I had. I am grateful because I need the support of a good mattress. Also,❤the added information at the end!!!
Thank you for the education with wood grains. My father had great knowledge of woods and the love of showing off the beauty in each piece. So glad to see you appreciate that as well.
You never disappoint, Barry. Beautiful job! You should be a teacher. You are so patient, and thorough. Cheers!
I believe he is a teacher here on his channel. 😉
Hi Barry! That buffet looked quite sad with all that ugly yellow paint. It looked like at least part of it was spray paint. The finished product was gorgeous!! You have great talents not only with furniture restoration but also storytelling! I always enjoy your videos! Can't wait for the next one!!!
Aww that yellow was hideous, that piece was begging to have its dignity restored.
Barry, you are becoming a sophisticated furniture historian/refinisher/restorer from week to week. You are a teacher as well. That buffet is beautiful in the color Candlelight. It's a lovely design.
You took it back to its original beauty, great work! I loved the info about the trees. Where I live, I can’t just go out into the woods to find oak trees. There are no deciduous forests here, only coniferous. I think oak trees are amazing!
Where I live in Canada you see big old Oak trees in the middle of a field, farmers work around them, as they respect just how long it takes them to grow.
@@shamrock4500 That’s wonderful!
Your work is amazing. With proper care a well crafted piece of furniture can live for generations. The top of the buffet is absolutely gorgeous, the pattern is beautiful. Keep bringing these “abused” pieces back to life.
nice yellow but nicer grain revealed , thank you Barry,,,
Hello from rural Norfolk UK. Discovered your channel yesterday and have watched quite a few videos, your style is so relaxing and informative. You have inspired me to 'restore' my two 50s kitchen chairs properly. I purchased a carbide scraper this morning and have spent nearly 3 hours removing old varnish. Thank you for sharing your work.
Lucky you to find it at all. There are so many others doing this now. But you’ve hit the best one! Barry has lots of great, soothing videos. I’m from Melbourne, Australia. He has followers from all over the world. I can’t “do” but I love to watch restorations. Welcome to the club❤️🦘
@@yvonnepagan9912 Thank you.
I really liked the shape of this sideboard. Thank goodness you removed the school bus yellow.
I can understand why this type of refinished piece would sell well. Not only is it beautiful, it is great storage for any room. I never find your little brass figures in your videos because I get too distracted watching you work and forget to look for them, lol.
Oh... Forest Gump... I forgot to look for the little brass guy... but I was mesmerized watching the transformation... what a lovely piece in the end!
Oh Barry, thank you for giving the little brass goat such a good home. I knew he would love Wisconsin. He’s having so much more fun in your home than he was with me.
Your work is amazing - the deep color you put on this buffet is rich and warm. Bravo!
Your music, your voice & your whole approach to a piece of furniture brings PEACE … thank you!
(Of course I didn’t get those hidden things! In a good way tho I was daydreaming!)
Walnut and Forest Gump. The brass goat stumped me...😂
Barry, you are the Bob Ross of the Millennium. Your video presentation and voice are so soothing.😊
I second that❤ !!! I was thinking the same thing 😊 he has that soothing tone of voice and artistic flair.
This is the first of your videos I've seen. I'm most impressed. You did a beautiful job.
Потрясающей красоты комод. Меня поражает, зачем люди закрашивают краской такие красивые фасады, превращая их в старые кухонные тумбы. Браво мастеру-реставратору, который вернул комоду молодость, красоту и аристократичность)
The dark stain may not have been your first choice, but I think it suits this piece perfectly. As ways, thank you for adding to our "tree of knowledge".
Боже мой.Какая красота получилась.Работа выполнена ,просто шедеврально.Шкаф восхиьительный.Стоит и улыбается.Ему понравилася ,его новый образ.Бари, я обожаю смотреть твои ролики и твою работу. Ты просто молодец.Дальше словарный запас иссяк.А повторяться не хочется.❤❤❤❤
Very cool, Barry! Can't wait for the Barbie dresser. 😅
Beautiful result, as always. Thank you for the additional info on identifying trees and how the various cutting methods result in different grain patterns. So much to learn!
It's splendor has been returned!
My guess was correct, My favorite is Walnut, so rich and warm in color and beautiful grain. This piece is gorgeous! You did a awesome job.
I watch both furniture restorations and furniture make-overs, and it's always funny to me to see made-over, painted pieces end up in the hands of restorers. You can usually tell which pieces have been painted by a pro vs. a bored houseparent/housespouse with a free weekend. Making it over (nicely) can be really time consuming, so every time I see what I think is a recently made-over piece, I imagine it's only been in one person's possession for a couple of years, so all the effort that went into a well-made-over piece is then undone (almost always rightly so) and the piece is restored to its natural state (or restored up, meaning looking better than it originally did). It's just another funny way to see part of the circle of life, and the cycle of life... The things we do with our life's time and how others experience that outcome, and then how they in turn have someone else's circle interact with theirs. As well as the physical things we cycle through in our lifetimes.
I love this piece and of course you refinished it to perfection. I have a vintage Duncan Fife dining room table and a Duncan Fife sofa that I inherited from my grandmother. This buffet looks like the same era…so maybe it’s a Duncan Fife style? In any case you definitely gave it back it’s dignity. Before it looked like it had been hit by a school bus.
😆🚌 💯%
My guess was Duncan Fife also. That sideboard, buffet, etc, is a Classic Beauty.
I love watching you breathe new life into pieces! Stunning ❤ Also listening to you narrate your process is like a form of “grounding” for me - so peaceful calming and down to earth 😊
As always it's fantastic. Saving these pieces is truly a work of love. Thank you Barry for pouring yourself into these projects.
Yay! Barry removes yet more yellow paint from our ecosphere! Thanks, Barry.
You might find it interesting that, around 15:15, that inverted ''v'' shape at the base of the tree could well have been caused by a lightning strike many years ago. The movie was too easy, I got the wood right, and only saw the goat once. I love your little games.
Waving hi from far north side Milwaukee County. 👋🏻👋🏻 Grew up in the 1950s-1960s with a carpenter/wood working dad who had a rather large workshop in our basement. Thanks for bringing back memories. That turned out really nice.🤗👍
Forrest Gump, who could forget the “Run, Forrest!” Scene😊
Your videos are great. Im going to quit now, guess Forrest Gump for the movie, and just sit back and enjoy your work. Thanks Barry. 😉
Forrest Gump
Also, as a longtime subscriber, I don't want to become accustomed to your fabulous work. This was again a labor of love, and evidence of your eye for what's possible. Kudos.
Barry, that is absolutely beautiful. I have a terrible time being disciplined while watching your videos. I love the process, but like reading a good book, I have to force myself not to skip to the end! Your are always the first video I watch when you post. Long time viewer from Littleton, CO.
I struggle with the same temptation. Maybe it’s a Colorado thing - I’m in Thornton. 🙂
wow, finding out that information about the Tiger Patters and that white oak is real cool. This old dog got taught something new. great work as always.
That's going to be fun, a Barbie dresser, can't wait.😊
This turned out so beautiful. It sparkles, you could see all that beautiful wood grain😊😊😊
What dignity you have restored. I swear, that piece was smiling in the final take.
Thank you so much
it's Forrest Gump
3 subscribers and one video after 15 years, seriously? Who are you calling Forrest Gump! Troll
@@1minigrem ???????????
@@mytimebox1 it is the answer to Barry's question, 'which movie is on the tv in the background?'
@@1minigrem it is the answer to Barry's question, 'which movie is on the tv in the background?'so who is the troll now
Ha...dude. it was my first thought too...they're only showing RESPECT for this Artist..that's all!!!! 😮
Hello you dear, dear man. My heart sings when I see such a beautiful restoration. In my mind, the piece looks proud again and so happy to have met you. (I guess I watched it twice, doh.)
Thank you for this
The yellow antiqued paint was nice but now with the buffet in this rich color it really looks like an expensive piece of furniture ❤. Lots of work but wow what a beautiful result.
♥️🇨🇦
I was glad to see that the hardware came out so good. Sometimes the plating is so far gone that polishing will make the hardware look worse. Good job. I hate when old furniture is painted because it is easier than refinishing.
I agree. Thank you
Recently came across your channel - absolutely love your content, can't get enough of it!
Always a great video! I thought the buffet might be mahogany veneer. Another beautiful project. Thanks again for sharing your skills with us viewers. Always looking forward to your next adventure.
Candlelight is always a great choice for walnut! The result is beautiful! ❤❤❤
What a beautiful piece.... after your working on it. Also appreciate the 1980s stereo equipment, electric typewriter and television!
“Run Forest! Run!” Forest Gump of course. Great movie. Awesome actors. I liked the yellow as well as my colors in house are gray, white , and yellow. I may or may not be refinishing a dresser and painting it either yellow or white. It’s to hold table linens and” the coffee bar”.
If I hadn't watched you work on the project, I never would have thought that fantastic piece of walnut furniture was the same one. You created a magical piece! I found my spray-on stripper and think I will try to do some magic on a small cabinet: 20 inches x 24 inches x 4 inches deep. It may have been a medicine cabinet. Someone had painted it dirty white and then 'distressed' it by sanding the paint off with no rhythm or reason. I can see where the screws were for a door. I plan to paint it Chinese red for some of my rocks and mineral collection. (Retired science teacher!)
Thank you so much for the visual showing how a quarter sawn pattern is accomplished. Your work is beautiful!
The buffet reminds me of much of the furniture we had inside military housing 40 years ago. It was old and the thick shellac coating was darkened. I wish I had been educated enough then to know what was underneath all of that dark shellac. It was tuff stuff and I imagine in larger cities anywhere near military bases it is still around. I have a Tiger oak dresser with mirror I rescued from my moms basement that was made by a furniture company in Seattle in the 1920’s. I love it and I love your channel. I look forward to all of your videos and enjoy rewatching my favorites of your older videos. I always seem to see something I think I’ve missed but probably have forgotten. Lol
I have my parent's tiger oak round table and matching spindle chairs. Thank you for showing how the wood was cut.
Hello from London. You put on Forrest Gump, my favorite movie. I love watching your videos which are one of a kind and your voice calms me down. I admire your work, every piece of furniture you restored looks amazing.
I forgot to look for your little brass animal! Gotta watch again! ;)
Who can forget “Run Forrest, run!”
Oh wow....! I have that exact same (in mahogany) buffet in my house, complete with the same hardware. It was my maternal grandmother's buffet she had in her dining room (the very house I bought and live in) along with a matching six-foot, drop-leaf table and six matching chairs. Unlike this buffet, mine has never been painted and is in pristine condition!
I am new to the channel and I really appreciate what you do. I love watching you. Bring the furniture back to what it was or better. It’s very soothing to watch this.
Thank you so much. Welcome to the channel! Barry
Forest gump, bottom left corner 8m 6s thats all I could catch. The piece turned out awesome!
The hardware looks like the same as on my federalist desk/card table. I refinished it after my dad died and it was cherry or mahogany. Thank you for this gorgeous grain reveal!
I saw the little goat at 8:08 off to the lower left and at 11:10 I think that I see it waaaay in the back straight behind the piece that you worked on. That was a beautiful transformation. You returned it back to its former elegant and regal stature.
dziękuje, wspaniałe, pozdrawiam Sopou, Polska
Movie is Forest Gump. ( I worked with Tom on " Philadelphia " ) Another masterful job!
This looks better than new!
Refinishing furniture is like a box of chocolates 😊
Cherry wood and Forrest Gump my fav. movie of all time.
Saying Hi!!
I have owned this identical buffet since 1978. Gifted from my mother.
It dates back to the 1920s (not mid century) & mahogany.
I am blessed that mine has the original stain & varnish. Never refinished.
I have to say, the end result of your's is close to what mine looks like except for taking the pulls & knobs. Mine have the dark patina.
You did a lovely job & the piece just glows.
Thank you for sharing your video.
G’day Barry and greetings from Down Under. I love watching you bring these painted items back to their original condition and this one was no exception. It was a beautiful design with just enough character and the original brass handles finished it off perfectly. Until next time, take care. 😘💕🇦🇺
Beautiful work on the buffet and I appreciated the info at the end about tiger oak because in just the last couple of days I ran across a home tour video of a vintage home with oak trim and the host went on and on about how tiger oak is so special because "they don't make it anymore". Since there are still oak trees all over in the upper Midwest and there are a lot of independent sawmills I could not believe what she was saying. She was from the South, so perhaps it's a regional thing but in MN anyone can still get quarter sawn oak.
Anyway, thank you for freeing that buffet from a trendy paint treatment and truly restoring it to its intended timeless appeal :)
Walnut is my favorite wood, I love the dark stain, it turned out amazing. You were watching Forest Gump and I believe I only spotted the little brass goat once in the desk cubbie.
Can’t wait for the Barbie dresser. I just subscribed so I won’t miss it. I love listening to your soothing voice. Thank you for sharing all the wonderful information you uncover during the restoration process.
Oh, SO much nicer stained than painted!! I always love seeing the beautiful end product that you manage to make from the ugliest pieces. Now another generation can enjoy this lovely piece of furniture.
The movie was Forrest Gump. I saw one goat in the drawer near the end of the Birch ad, but didn’t find the other one. 😢 Your buffet turned out beautifully! Wonderful work, Barry!
Another job well done! Looking forward to the upcoming projects you mentioned. A Barbie themed dresser? That should be interesting!
Walnut. Forrest Gump. I didn't find the goat 😢 Absolutely beautiful! ❤
Holy jumping’ !! That is an absolutely gorgeous piece now!! Always enjoy your transformations and the peaceful narrative
This turned out amazing. And thank you for the visual of 1/4 sawn oak at the end.
Omg love this piece. The grain in the wood is so beautiful.
Loved the piece, loved the video. At the end, when you were describing what tiger oak was, I felt as if I were back in Botany class. Your videos are always interesting, educational and philosophical. Thank you.
I love the buffet, so so pretty! Your workmanship shows in your reveals! Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful ❤
WOW! I have no other words to describe the results!!!
My father introduced me to Bar Keeper’s Friend when I began collecting antique perfume bottles, some of which could be quite filmy from water or chemicals. Handy item to have around the house/shop!
Thank you for explaining more about the trees. You can do more of that in the future.
Thank you for teaching about the different cuts of Oak that was actually quite fascinating
I thoroughly enjoy your content. It’s like a hobby I can simply meditate to. I appreciate you.
The piece is beautiful and the movie looks like forest gump.😊
I was having a terrible day and this really helped me feel grounded, peaceful and calm. I absolutely love your videos. ❤
Love it. The walnut is so much prettier than the mahogany that similar pieces (including some that I own) are made from.
I love to the videos when you strip paint. This is simply gorgeous.
Excellent work!
First, the Hinges are Stanley Sweetheart marked, which dates them from
1920-1935. .
Next, the wood is NOT Walnut. It is Cuban Mahogany. Very rare, and
now practically extinct. These types of beautiful Mahogany pieces are
the special targets of the Shabby Chic Bitches and their paintbrushes!
Thank you for saving this piece and restoring it to it's former glory.
Wonderful restoration, Barry! The finish you chose is very complimentary to the piece. Always amasing to watch your videos!
Wish you could do my credenza that I inherited from my grandmother. It has a deeper cherry looking stain and similar hardware. Over my lifetime, many moves and my cats have not been kind to it. This was a vicarious thrill. 💜💜💜
Another stunning reveal. Not sure if you have the time but my husband highly recommends a book that you might enjoy on trees. Sending it your way.
Wow, Barry what a gorgeous transformation! Looks so much better than the yellow paint. Now it's a beautiful piece! Always love your videos, they are so informative! Thank you for sharing your awesome expertise with us! Have an amazing day! 😊
I need to find another word for stunning, but it always seems to be the best word for your work!😊
Yes agreed with you that if one could use a yellow cabinet this would have been a great find. Edit: thanks for showing how tiger oak is done
Back when I was a teenager that type of finish was called “antiquing”. It is the equivalent (in my opinion) to chalk-painting; ill-advised! However, to each their own idea of beauty and up-scaling. Whatever keeps furniture out of landfills. ❤
The movie is Forest Gump. Nice job Barry, i really like your videos !
THANK YOU FOR RESCUING THE BEAUTIFUL BUFFET FROM THE NIGHTMARE IT WAS I CAN TELL IT IS DELIGHTED TO BE BACK TO THE GLORIOUS STATE IT STARTED OUT AS AND ALSO THE LITTLE HISTORY OF TIGER OK
Braveheart, Forest Gump, and did I also see the movie Rudy playing? I only found the goat once and I did guess the wood right! This turned out just wonderfully!
You are a wonderful, caring restorer. I love what you do!
Beautiful Restoration! Nice find with the brass coated pulls. Very relaxing video!
Your work is always stellar. But the effort you put into making quality videos is a cut above others that do the same thing
