Antique Victrola Gets Repurposed / DIY ART DECO Furniture Flip

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ส.ค. 2024
- Dani and her Mom, Sherry, find an antique Victrola at a local furniture farmer's market. Unfortunately, most of the mechanical parts are long gone. Join them to see how this piece gets repurposed.
**** Important Note: We forgot to mention in the video that we are waiting a few days to let the oil-based products (the gold and wipe-on poly) cure and then we will be spraying polyurethane on the whole piece for protection. It is always important to let oil-based products cure before applying any water-based product over it.

His masters voice! I remember listening to my grandma’s Victrola in the 70’s.
That is so fun, Jacquie! Thanks for watching and for sharing that special memory😘 with us!😍
I have a collection of Victor Talking Machines, all restored to their like new original condition, as furniture restoration is one of my loves. I also, in the collection, have six Magnavox radio/phono combinations, as well as four of their stereo consoles. The complete Mag. collection spans the years 1942-1961. All look and play as they did when new. Victor actually produced special painted cabinets in their art models. Beautiful work.
What an amazing collection! I love that you've been able to restore to their original condition! Now I'm off to go check out this special painted cabinets!! =) Thanks for sharing!
@@secondchanceohanaNot only that...I'm doing the "Green Thing" when I play records on the Victrolas...no waste of electricity and get some exercise, while turning the crank, winding them!
Usually, I get sad when I see things like this get repurposed (as I am a person who restores them.) But this is definitely an exception to that! Seeing that the majority of the internals were gone, This was a perfect way to get use out of an otherwise useless cabinet!
Thank you so much! We love history and try to preserve and restore what we can but when we can't restore it to original, we figure the next best thing is to give it a new purpose so that it will be loved and used again.
Nice job ladies! I have the same piece that has been sitting in my basement for over a year. Now I can repurpose this piece. I did not know how to take the bottom piece out until I watched your video. Thanks so much and keep up the good work.😊
So glad we gave you some inspiration! Good luck with your project!
Great find and restoration you two ♥this project. Used a vintage radio in my shop . . . pulled the radio workings out, used the shelf for my cash station, lower level housed my wrappings, boxes, etc. Painted white to match other vintage furniture used to show products . . . real shabby chic . . . customers loves it. Can always use as home accessory piece.
Thanks Roberta! That sounds so cool!! Love to see and hear how people repurpose these beauties!😍😊
We have a Victrola also, and I needed an idea to repurpose it! We also have a new vinyl record player that sounds sooo great when you play music of the past. It just feels like the past when it’s something from your childhood. Love the job you did!
Wow ladies! This was a terrific makeover. So gratifying to see you appreciate the old pieces and give them a new lease on life. Whoever gets this one will most certainly enjoy it. You are so clever and creative. Fun video to watch. Thanks!
Thank you, Lynn! Those old pieces are so satisfying. We adore the wood and their history just makes them so much more interesting.. 😍
🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 68 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 ❤ 🎀
Hi Grammy Bear, those are beary nice hugs.... the beary best! Thank you!🤗
I have an old gramophone cabinet too with no gramophone inside it and searched on TH-cam to get ideas on what to do with it. Thank you.
Nice!!! Have fun with it!
My favourite piece by you lovely ladies 🌸
😍 Thank you, Angela! I think it is our favorite, too! It's just fun with an amazing history . 😊
a great find Sherry! beautiful make over. love the gold art deco embellishments
Thanks, Janet! Yes, I think we both fell in love with the history of this piece and the art deco vibe that we gave it. Very fun!😀
Stunning. What more can I say.
Hi, Emer! Thank you!!! Hope you are doing well!🤗
Wow this is very unique. Y'all's did a great up-cycle.
Thank you, Mrs. Jax!!! It was a beautiful piece to start with and so satisfying to add some fun touches to it.🌹😍
That really is a great piece. Love your imagination!
Thanks so much, Jim and Cindy! Haha... that imagination is good because it makes us try new things but yikes, it sure slows us down sometimes as we try to figure out how to actually do what we want to do...😬😀
love the gingko leaf design pulls!
Thanks Laura! yes, we do too. So cute!😊
Wow my AZ furniture ladies .....what a beautiful piece....And I Too Have caught the "Miss flips" Art deco Bug as she Inspired me for the West Elm Trolly bar with the retro Vibe design on bottom shelf ..She's AWESOME! And So Are the Both Of you...Such a Beautiful conversation bar for sure ..just love it 🥰👍❣️
Yes!!! We love your trolley bar cart, Debra! And Miss Flips! WE are very fortunate to have so many fellow furniture flippers/artists that we call friends. Everywhere we turn we find fresh inspiration and new ways to do things. Thank you my friend for always being so encouraging!😘
@@secondchanceohana awwww Y'all Are VERY Important and Special To my Heart and I always Can Depend on Inspiration and Help whenever I'm stuck 🥰❣️❣️❣️
This historic piece did have a purpose. Parts are easily found online and she could have been singing again. Another one down.
Thanks for your input. If the new owner desires to do so, it can still be made into a a working victrola.
What a totally lovely flip, ladies! Such a cohesive design across the whole cabinet and super elegant. Yes, love Marissa's work and you captured the vibe perfectly. Someone is going to be very lucky to pick up this one of a kind piece! 😍
Thanks, Jenn! It was such a fun piece! It felt like we were doing crafts everyday😍☀😎
Wow!! Just wow!!!
🤗 Hi Hot Flippin Mess! Love your name! Thanks! I think this little bar was one of our favorites so far!😍
This is one of the most gorgeous flips I’ve ever seen 😍✨ On the lookout for a similar piece here in Sweden now!
😊 Thank you so much, Tone & Art! I think it was our favorite one so far!!!🤗
😍🥂That came out great! I think that you made great choices with color and Stencil placement. If the pattern was on thefront I think it would have been too busy!
To make your mirror or glassware gleam, wipe firm with 70% rubbing alcohol. 🍸✨
Hi Carolyne, thanks so much! Glad you like it. We agree. The gold stenciling is a strong statement and we wanted it to enhance the beauty of the piece but not overwhelm it. Thanks for the tip about the rubbing alcohol. we just finished the topcoats yesterday and are going to do the staging pictures today so will try that.🍹🤗
Dani, that's so weird that you thought this was a COFFIN! What an imagination! And the dead spider???? haha🤣🤣
It does look like a coffin and dead spiders are creepy!😬😮
Beautiful!
Hi, Caty! Thank you so much!!!🤗😊
Oh my goodness, the work you two put into this historical piece is beautiful. It turned out so good, that I had to show it to my husband. He was so surprised how you repurposed it. I can't wait to hear the story of who bought it.
Thanks, Anna! Remember when we bought this at the Furniture Farmer's Market? We priced it pretty high so it may take a while to sell.... but hope it sells soon!
@@secondchanceohana me too!
Ladies you hit this project out of the ballpark. Superior design executed in a fashion that James Bond would be proud to showcase in his home. Love that you highlighted Phoenix on the only day we got rain this month. I look forward to your next projet! Margi in Peoria.
Thank you, Margi!! Haha,,,, when we lived in Seattle we hated the rain; in Phoenix when it rains, it's beautiful and refreshing. Pops was all over that little storm. 😮😀
SOOO COOL!!! I'm in love. I'm just starting my own bar cabinet on an old vintage cabinet so thanks for the inspiration!!!!
Thanks, Ash! That is awesome! Have fun with it!😍
Uhm...mom.....I don't like spiders either!! Lol
This piece was a great find! I never would have thought of a bar, or adding those stencils. It all came together great!
Still love listening to the 2 of you. 🙂🙂
😂😮 Haha ... thank you, Vickie! Yes, we've kind of gotten into this thing where just about everything we find that needs a new purpose gets turned into a bar. They sell pretty fast at a good price. 🤗
Wow ladies! I love this the colors and the gold is amazing! Now if you could just make it that if you cranked the handle a drink would come out and be all made 😁😂😂
😂🙃😂 That would be something, wouldn't it! Thanks, Larissa! We had so much fun with the gold stenciling. So satisfying!!!😘😍
This turned out so classy & gorgeous. I just love seeing what you ladies come up with 💖💞💝💕💖
Yay! Thank you, Lindsey! It was one of those projects that was very satisfying and we couldn't be happier with the results. 😘😍
Such an amazing repurpose! Great job, looks beautiful!
Thank you, Moranda! We are so glad you like it!😊😍
With the insets to hold the records, It could also be a great cabinet to store sheet music.
Hi Karen, yes it certainly could be. Thanks for watching!😍
I recently bought one at an auction and plan to make it a bar too
Hi Elizabeth! Yes, that's a great idea! We hadn't seen anyone else do that with a Victrola before but it just seemed to fit. Thanks for watching!
Aloha, Ohana! this piece was so fun to work on and it brought back so many memories (for Mom) of just sitting or dancing for hours in front of the old "Hi-fi"s . We all had record players back in the day. Tell us if you still have one!🤗😵😍
I love it!
😍 Thanks, Krafty! This was definitely one of our favorite upcycles! 🎷🎼
@@secondchanceohana your mom has a great eye!! so glad she saw it! its soooo rewarding when us flippers \ upcyclers can make something useful again and give it a new purpose in life!!
I'm sad t say that this is a painful sight to those of us (and there are hundreds in the US alone) who collect and restore these old phonographs. It's hard seeing these old machines repurposed, especially when it is a machine like the Victrola X or XI for which motors and parts are plentiful. But if you are not aware of that fact, then it would seem that you are giving it new life.
Thanks for your input. If the new owner desires to do so, it can still be made into a a working victrola.
I agree, but the reality is there are many thousands of these still around- complete- and in better shape for a collector to purchase. It likely would not be worth the trouble of finding parts to make this a common workable Victrola, plus factoring in the professional restoration of the damaged cabinet added to the total cost. I just hope videos like this don't encourage the gutting of a piece that is intact and valuable to be made into a trendy DIY project.
So glad your banter is back!! I love this piece, my husband has a record player and I am redoing a piece for him for his record storage. I want to do it in an art decor theme…can you tell me where you found your crocus designs?
Hey Alicia! I love that you’re doing an Art Deco theme too!! There are tons of Art Deco stencils (and svg files on Etsy if you want to make your own with a cricut). I saw ideas of what I liked online and made my own file, but there are lots of them out there. Good luck!!
Seriously, you two have amazing imaginations! I would never dream of how beautiful this would become. ❤️❤️
Wow, thank you, Ruthie! We did spend a lot of time brainstorming about different options, designs, etc. and some of our ideas we had to adjust along the way because we couldn't find the products we were searching for. But in the end, we love how it turned out and it was really fun.😍
For Christmas I bought my husband a record player
Love it!! That is so cool. Do you still have all your old record albums😍?
Simply amazing! You two did a fabulous job with this piece. Let us know how fast it sold; bet it didn’t take long.
Thanks Kay!!! We actually need to finish the poly on this piece so haven't listed it yet. We hope it sells fast but we love it so much, we are going to price it high and see if we get any bites. We will add a note in the description when we sell it. 🌹😘
I have a record player I bought it was I was 16
Nice! Love it, Joanne!!!!😀🎼
Sorry mom. That blue doesn't work
haha ... it certainly does work for us!
💔
Thanks for watching, Emilie.
