The fast music at the end?? I wants it, my precious. Have a large secretary in here a Philadelphia centennial piece but want to slather it with all sorts of be paint techniques papers and gasp! Knobery.
I SO enjoyed this! I love your sense of humor! This turned out so beautiful, hopefully you’re not under-selling yourself, although I do understand the furniture flipper dilemma when it comes to pricing! I’m sure you’ll have no trouble selling it, if it’s not already sold. I love the theater/drama that you put into your videos, you are so talented Andy! You are unique in this aspect (good unique!😅). Nice seeing the beautiful kitty, too. Looking forward to the next furniture fable! ❤❤❤❤❤
A professional triumph! We expect a beautiful artistic creation, but the foundational idea that precedes each project, in this case how to morph a traditional piece with an inspired new vision, adds a special, one of a kind beauty. Bravo!
I have this same piece sitting in my garage waiting for inspiration. You have given me food for thought. I will say my piece does not have the questionable “parts” inside.
Your ability to turn a mundane antique secretary into a captivating masterpiece truly astounds me, Andy! The color scheme you carefully selected and that breathtaking wallpaper have truly elevated its beauty. Once again, I cannot help but admire your dedication to creating something exceptional and one-of-a-kind. I’m not a fan of those antique secretaries but, this one is lovely. Now, let's address that mischievous look on your face while artfully painting those delicate motifs that seem to resemble phallic symbols. It brought such a burst of laughter from me that I nearly choked on my coffee when one unexpectedly flew off during its removal. You my dear are so talented and entertaining that I can’t wait for your next adventure! ❤️👏🏻❤️👏🏻❤️👏🏻❤️👏🏻
Lol, hooray!! 😂 Always an honor to cause an (almost) coffee spit/choke! Thank you so much Kate, so thrilled you liked the secretary, and I'll see you soon for the next adventure !
Love the redo of the little secretary. It's such a pretty color and the stencil over the wood grain is just perfect. Those phallic columns on either side of the little door are cheap versions of what they're like on better quality secretaries. I have a tall version (with glass doors like one of the ones you showed early in the video) that my mother bought probably in the 50s -- but she always bought furniture second-hand so it was likely made in the 30s. The columns are much more intricately carved and not at all phallic. And they hide clever "secret" compartments -- you pull them out and they are actually the front for little narrow boxes to hold valuables. I used to love playing with them when I was a child.
Wow, thank you for sharing that! Yes, I thought about doing a comparison of different columns - most I've seen are really cool. (not like these, lol) So glad you liked the redo! 😊
You did it again Andy, that secretarial is really beautiful now. You are hilarious! I had to take a good look at the cubbies to see what you were referring to.😂 It definitely looks better now.
It’s beautiful. Ok… I must be truthful, I was very late on the uptake, on the “interesting,” plinths. Haha…. It wasn’t until you started making the faces, that I finally noticed the obvious. Yes, I’m admittedly that person. 😂 They most definitely had to go. I have such fun watching your fables, and always learn a new trick or two. (In this case, how to spot the obvious!) 😊
Please, if possible, would you mind including a picture of the drawers/top opened so we can see how the liners contrast with the finished color?? Simply gorgeous piece!!
I'm absolutely in love with that color green 💚💚💚 the whole piece is gorgeous, but that green 💚! Nicely done once again. 😊 Looking forward to more from you of course. Thanks for sharing with us. ❤😊
Say "Flying Phallic" five time fast! I couldn't help it.🤣 Not only do you create beautiful treasures out of sadly worn pieces, but you make me laugh so much. Thank you for making my day.
What a beautiful creation you made out of that. I just picked one up off the side of the road for free and you have really inspired me. Hilarious video. Well done.
You are too funny! 😂 It looks so much better with those… things… gone. I am doing a dresser for my grand daughter & you are inspiring me so much. Thank you. ❤
Your creative brain is amazing! This is such a beautiful update to a traditional style that can feel fusty and musty. The stencil and the paper are just fabulous!🌸
I watched this, and stopped it partway through at a certain spot, ran in to my office and opened my recently acquired secretary desk to see if I have an "issue" to deal with, but happily, mine lacks those awkward pieces. Whew! I love watching your videos!
That is perfection. Everytime I watch you do something new it's my new favorite. I wouldn't be able to part with this. And the smiles and giggles are always a wonderful addition to my day. Thank you for sharing your imagination and talent.
I love the entertainment value of your videos, but I also love how you teach me something new everytime. Your sense of humor is delightful! I saw exactly what you were talking about with your "plinths" and I giggled outright. Please don't ever stop your flow of creativity and smiles!
Spewed my Sprite when you painted the plinth 😂 Just think of it as a rocket, a green rocket. And then the rocket flew😂😂😂 Anyway looks great. Love the green. Had a desk like that when I was a teen many yrs ago. You gave it a fabulous new life with paint, stencil, wallpaper, knobs and of course a bit of work. Thanks
Again, you underpriced me, Andy!! My price: $735.00. Looks beautiful! The only thing I didn't quite agree with was the drawer pulls. A bit too modern for the piece, in my personal opinion... But all over just beautiful. Great restoration Andy! Thank you.
This was such a treat! The green bronze paint is a great neutral for any room and the new hardware goes well with most styles. Again you have nailed this refinish. Brava!
Absolutely stunning Andy! What a difference you have made to this once boring and uninspiring piece. Totally worth the asking price. Congratulations! 👏👍❤️
That's funny about the plinths, I hadn't even noticed until you pointed it out :), does look better without them though. The desk looks great, love the color, olive green is my 2nd favorite color. I also like that you kept the top the original wood look. Still not a fan of stenciling, though you did a great job with it.
Your hilarious. The " plinths" definitely had to go, 😂. I love the new look and the paper is perfect. That lampshade is stunning. Have a great weekend 😊
Lol! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that insert was designed by priapus 😂. You really gave this a fantastic look! The paper is so perfect. LOVE IT!!!
I really enjoy what you do with each of your pieces! This was such a great way to update and upgrade the secretary. The stencil added a touch of homeyness that will make it a really nice piece in many styles of decor, I'm sure.
That turned out beautifully! I love, love, love that paint color! It couldn’t be more perfect for that piece. I would, however, like to see more of the sweet, furry object with the cute face.
Beautiful...🧡🧡🧡 I think as a piece of furniture secretary desks are way under utilised. What a way more stylish way to house all your yucky technology 😀
Hmmmm... I would've gilded those interesting shapes! I say go with it:) Just wondering what their their fate ended up being?? On a serious note, you may have saved many a secretary..
The fast music at the end?? I wants it, my precious. Have a large secretary in here a Philadelphia centennial piece but want to slather it with all sorts of be paint techniques papers and gasp! Knobery.
Lol, thanks so much!! Here's a link to my music list: spotify.link/qIVJ50G35Db
That deep dark mahogany red is my favorite stain of all times. I don't know why I love it so much I just do lol
I get that!! ♥️
I love your sense of style but also your sense of humour .
That is so nice to hear, thank you so much!!
Loved the color. If only life had a fast forward and a slow motion button. Refinishing would fly by and a kiss could last forever 🙂
So true! Many thanks.
😂😂😂
That image of you softly stroking the pilaster with your brush is still making me laugh hours later
Beautiful secretary. Love it.
🤣😇

Oh wow, thank you SO MUCH! So awesome to hear this, and I'll keep fingers crossed re that pricing! 😅🧡
One of the best parts of Saturday... another video from Andy

Glad you enjoyed it! 🐈 Thanks! 😊

I have this same piece sitting in my garage waiting for inspiration. You have given me food for thought. I will say my piece does not have the questionable “parts” inside.
Lol, well - one (or two) less things to worry about! 😂 Best of luck!
Ugh! I can't unsee it now! Kidding aside, it turned out great!
I'm sorrrryyy!!! 😂 LOL. Thanks so much!!
Well, that was quite humorous. Great call on the design.
Lol, thanks so much!
Always love an Anthro inspired makeover. 🎉
Thanks so much!
You actually made me LOL....FOR REAL!!!!
Yay!! Thanks so much!!
Home run!! What a beauty - and with a respectable asking price - i'm sure this won't last!
Many many thanks!! 😊
The color on this desk is beautiful 😍. I love ❤️ it! Awesome 👏🏾

You are so welcome, thank you!!
I love that color and have used it myself.
Yes, such a good one. 👍
You did it again Andy, that secretarial is really beautiful now. You are hilarious! I had to take a good look at the cubbies to see what you were referring to.😂 It definitely looks better now.
Yay, so glad you agree!! 😅 Many thanks. 🧡

Lol, thanks so much! Yes...I wasn't sure if folks would notice those...after a few days with them right "in my face" (har) I couldn't unsee them. 😂
I adore that color!
Hooray, thanks so much!
Love it Andy! I'm ready to sand the paint off my desk now. You're the best.
Wow, thanks so much, and go for it!! 😊
Great piece! Could you show more interior of the drop down ? The close ups didn't show the full picture
So so sorry - late night editing!! I will add some to the community post and Instagram. Thanks!
Gorgeous! And hilarious with the flying fallos 😂😂

Restoration bronze is my favorite furniture paint. The piece is gorgeous!
Oh wow - thanks so much!!
You’re hilarious 😅 another beautiful transformation… I love the color👏🏼💚
Yay!! Many thanks, Kim! 😊
It looks so beautiful! It would make a great “drop zone” for a small entryway. I love hearing what the sales price ends up being.
Great feedback, thanks so much!

Gorgeous like I knew it would be. So glad you removed the little pieces! And the wall paper really took it over the top!
Please, if possible, would you mind including a picture of the drawers/top opened so we can see how the liners contrast with the finished color?? Simply gorgeous piece!!
Oh so sorry - thought I did that!! I'll make sure to do so over on Instagram. Many thanks!

Started one a week ago and I am nearly at the end! My is green too --- a bit lighter. Greatly looking forward to seeing this!
So not a fan of green. But that color.... . I'm trying to decide what to use it on. I love it! Your piece came out amazing!!!!
Awesome! Thank you so much! Yes...all about the specific shade, right? 😊
Spewed my Sprite when you painted the plinth 😂 Just think of it as a rocket, a green rocket. And then the rocket flew😂😂😂
Anyway looks great. Love the green. Had a desk like that when I was a teen many yrs ago. You gave it a fabulous new life with paint, stencil, wallpaper, knobs and of course a bit of work. Thanks

Hooray, thanks so much!
Hmmmm... I would've gilded those interesting shapes! I say go with it:) Just wondering what their their fate ended up being?? On a serious note, you may have saved many a secretary..
Lol...I'm not quite sure what to do with them...😂🗑️ Thanks so much!
❤ loved it.
Thanks so much!
