I love the paint combo! The really nice blue and the legs were stunning. I’m not so into small flowers and ornaments, I’m thinking about the Pattern on the sides, but I guess you have to have a small things on small surfaces. I might have tried somThe lining was beautiful! The knobs! All and all! WOW!!
Wow, talk about a low class duckling to high class swan. The amount of courage and creativity in this piece might be illegal. And, this was done while preparing for a major role in a theater production plus the “minor” responsibility of running the household as mother for a family of five! Makes me tired to just tip the hat to this wonderful accomplishment.
I think the gold crevices are worth pursuit. Like Japanese ceramic repairs using gold paint to highlight the cracks. The little table is amazing..as are you.
@@frelnc no, not a professional actress (although I LOVE getting to be on stage in community theater productions) but I've been a professional musician (singer and conductor) for 25+ years, and would love to expand as a writer! 😊
Wonderful! I liked your cavalier attitude toward the stenciling. It added charm and I’m sure was much more fun in the making. Perhaps we all need to execute a carefree project from time to time. Love, love the colors and the hardware. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Anxiously awaiting the Summer 2024 Sequel!!
Nice transformation. Loving the color scheme and wash. It’s all good. I might have tried to add small flecks of gold to the top. Very small. As the paint dries is worth watching 🥸
That turned out absolutely beautiful. I love everything about it. Great job. Maybe a cushion on your chair will get your tush up a little bit higher for more comfortable typing but it’s absolutely beautiful.
Andy, your crazy antics always make me smile. Can hardly wait till As the Paint Dries continues. That little desk is a great little writing desk. Adorbs.
I didn’t think I would like it but I DO! The stencil look came out better than I thought it would too. But I would have skipped the gold filling - too random for me. Great job, Andy!
Just an additional note…I CAN NOT wait for the next installment of Furniture Fables! I’ve see all of the past installments and just looking so forward to more❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️
That raised stencil looked REALLY good. My motto when it comes to DIY for myself is that 'perfection is highly overrated." I like that it doesn't look mass produced. Great job. And yes, the milk chocolate legs looked great!
I really like the loose raised stencil and I found your idea with the gold brilliant ! So much so that I would have liked a few spots more with the gold, but it has to be to your taste, not mine. 😊
Thanks so much! Yes, my plan had been to add more....but then I wasn't sure if I liked it so I stopped...now I'm thinking I might play with it some more and see how it develops...LOL.
I really loved your montage at the end of the video! It was so fun to see what you were creating along the way; the freedom, the suspense! As always, you never disappoint and the final reveal was exactly what I didn’t know I would love, lol ❤
The loose affect of the stenciling really worked. I wasn’t a fan of the gold, but then I’m usually not a fan of gold as I have more rustic taste. Thank you for another demonstration of molding the corner of the top. Wonderful and thank you for sharing.
I really like your new, just perfect, little table. I wasn't sure about the gold but with the pulls which also have gold I believe it works. The rustic raised stencil also looks great and you colour choices are spot on as always!
@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy I thought so as well, but thought it may have just been my computer screen. LOL So glad you're back. Looking forward to your next video. :)
Loved the raised stencil. But how about using a dry brushed technique to highlight its character. The leg color is great, and it is definitely a use again. Thanks for sharing!
Many thanks!! Yes, I was/am tempted to do that with it too, although I'm also really enjoying its more subtle look right now....maybe I'll try a little on one side...😂
Love this! I’d easily pay at least $300 for this table! Love the pulls, love the “messy” raised stencil, love the touch of gold (I probably would have added more but I’m nuts with metal leaf!) and the paint wash is fantastic! I must say that I am madly in love with the paper you chose to line the drawer! I think you’ve created a perfect writing desk to tuck under a window, or anywhere really. I’m very excited to catch up with everyone in the continuing story of “As The Paint Dries.”🌸
YAY! SO great to hear that, thank you!! Yes, I am loving it right in our little window/bump out, and I have to say - that paper is one of my favs. Maybe I'll play some more with that gold leaf idea, in between writing the Summer Special...😍🏖️
So creative! The raised stencil gives it a one of a kind designer look, and why not, you are a creative designer. I love it! The chocolate legs make the entire piece WOW.
I loved this, so fun! I think you took a piece that would have disintegrated and gave it a MUCH longer life. And so pretty! The raised stencils turned out great. Can't wait for the summer!
Your piece looked "happy" in the end. They seem to smile at their new look. I've done the stencil technique on furniture before, but use "wall joint compound" and it works great. Not sure how it would hold up compared to the stuff you used and someone handling more roughly than I do, but I love using that. Love the legs and that wallpaper you found - both looked so uplifting. Thanks again for inspiration.
You are so welcome, thank you!! Yes, I've heard of folks using the joint compound too - my understanding is that the fiber paste is a bit more tough, but I'd guess that as long as someone was careful, it'd be fine! 😊
I have only just started this video but I have to tell you before I get too far into it, I get so excited when I see there is a new Furniture Fables video to watch! Its the “treat” of my day! Thank you for being you and your wonderful talent and imagination!
I love it. I personally love gold but I wasn’t a fan of the very random bits of gold leaf. I think for my own taste I would have used a tiny bit of gold gilding wax and just went over the front drawer with my finger, just so it gently kissed the raised stencil. Enjoy your new desk Andy ❤
Thank you for having Biff and Drea on again! 😂 I can't wait to see As the paint dries!! Not only do you restore cool furniture, but your videos are just so positive and always bring a smile to my face. Looking forward to the next one.
The drawer front turned out really nice. I like the 3d stencil idea. The color of the paint and wash looked good together. Good luck and break a leg with the theater production as I am sure you will do great.
I've always been so intimidated by stenciling but now I'm anxious to try your press down technique. That was a stroke of genius!! Adorable table, great color and those legs!!
Yay!! Yes, it looked really messy at first, but after it dried and I sanded it, it was a cool effect! Much more subtle than the other areas where I did it in the traditional way, but I really liked it. 😊 Many thanks!
I had a lot of doubts about how the table would turn out. It’s beautiful. I love the legs being stained and they enhance the rest of the table. The wallpaper in the drawer is gorgeous and so are the knobs. The gold . . . i don’t care for it. I’m glad you stopped when you did. ❤
Well, that was fun! How wonderful to wildly express your creativity without the pressure of anyone’s approval. Simply delightful. Oh, I love the touch of gold leaf. It doesn’t overwhelm the table and adds to the whimsy.
Thank you so much! And great to hear about the gold - I might work some more with it and see where it goes...and you are spot on about the freedom thing, such a great feeling!
Wow, love this! I always enjoy your videos and how you experiment with "new to you" techniques. I was amazed at the fix of the Hamster Bed corner...I would have thought that it would have been a lost cause. The plaster technique was cool too! Can't wait for the Summer Special! Thanks for another fun fable
So adorable! Beautiful job, and super-enjoyable process and narration. The stenciling looks great and yes, the legs and hanging them up for their chocolate wash and seal 👍🏻👍🏻❤ Thank you!
I think it turned out great, but could add some of fusions antiquing glaze to make that really nice raised stencils to standout a little more. I think it’ll make your gold pop more as well
Thanks! You're not going to believe this, but I found those at Michael's in a 70% off bin! Here's a couple that are sorta kinda similar: www.michaels.com/product/honey-can-do-floating-decorative-metal-wood-wall-shelves-3ct-D614093S www.michaels.com/product/sorbus-17-floating-shelves-2ct-D722384S?com_id=pdp_AlsoLike&path=youMayAlsoLike
How refreshing to watch your creative process. If we do the same old techniques, we don’t grow. It gives me more confidence to actually try something instead of fearing that I won’t do it “right!” When it comes to artistic endeavors, there is no such a thing as “right!” Though I was not a fan of the gold, it is refreshing to see someone flirting with new techniques! ❤️ I love your entertaining videos including your “acting” parts. I learned a bunch. Love the look you achieved. The legs are so pretty. I remember an artist once speaking about her furniture as coming with a personality that we have the opportunity to draw forth and embellish. She even named her pieces. What is this beauty’s name? I vote for Matilda!
That was a fun one. I’m an amateur artist so I can appreciate you just having fun trying new artistic skills. The way it turned out was fantastic. I think it was just enough glitz and glam.
While the size of this "desk" would never suit me and my speading-out needs, this turned out great. And I think you may have found a new signature with those tiny bits of gold leaf. You could add to any project and everyone will know it is a true Andy Original. Darn you're creative! I hope we get to see a bit of your upcoming theatrical work! By the way, those LEGS! 💚💚💚
Wow, thanks so much!! I was just thinking that I'd like to keep working on that gold technique...not quite where I want it, but I do think there's something there...looking forward to more theater sharing!
I never know what you will create and you never fail to impress. Such a success this little desk. I am guessing making this just right desk is a distraction from ~ WOW you're going to be on stage in 3 weeks too!. I love the raised stencil it reminds me of old pressed wood chairs. I can't comment on the gold as I think it is something to see in person. I like the idea of the gold peaking out from a magical place, hidden away.
I'm only a minute in! my first thought was "Oh no, she's back!" then how in the world is she only at 79.6k subscribers! You give so much entertainment with your videos it is a shame the more people haven't found you!
Well done again in creating a "little gem" out of a "plain jane" whose look could catch any passing eye. This is an amazing transformation using your creativeness and techniques to a skill level that any one could admire. I love the contrast of the natural legs and the painted body using texture and raised stencilling, both in negative and positive application. It has a different and unique look that is very appealing. Enjoy your new writing desk to compose more furniture fairy tales to tickle the imagination. Love your style and presentation, quite entertaining and amusing.
The "freeform" raised stencil came out looking really nice! I like the milk chocolate-washed finish on the legs, but for this table I think I might have preferred the legs painted the same color as the body, perhaps one shade darker (or lighter?) than the body of the piece. I agree with you that the goldleaf was a bit too bright; it was good that you toned it done and didn't continue it.
At last Andy!!, I have missed your sessions, but realised it was because you were working on the 'show'. I must confess, I was worried you may never come back to us, thank you for this one.
I loved the stencil, it felt like both snow white and Goldilocks would have loved. I can imagine jars of honey and juicy red apples but you lost me on the grey blue. I thought a sunshine warm yellow would look more sweet
@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy and its a floral, it kinda reminded be of a field of buttercups. I did like the wallpaper you chose and the new accessories as well.
Cute and perfect size too. Sometimes small and compact fits the bill. I've done this stencil technique way back on small items using spackle. Super fun to do. I cannot wait to see what the gang has been up to in your upcoming special! Woo hoo!
WHEN will "As the paint dries" return?!!!! I must be sure to be 100% available! In other news: your "casual" approach to a technique is better than most other people's perfectionism. I think the gold leaf technique deserves a whole fable to itself.
YAY!!! I will for sure keep you updated on the Summer Special, and many thanks for the stenciling encouragement. 😍 I'm thrilled you think there's something there with the gold leaf idea - I'd really like to keep working with it and see where it goes.... Thank you SO MUCH, Gina!! 😍🏖️🙏
Very cute! Fun!
Thanks so much!
Love the transformation!
Yay, thanks so much!
Lovely!

Andy, are you a professional actress? Or maybe a playwright?
An honor to be so charged! Many many thanks. 🙏😊

Thank you!!
So cute. The knobs were a perfect choice. A sweet little piece.
Yay, so glad you liked those! Many thanks. 🙏 😊
Nice transformation. Loving the color scheme and wash. It’s all good. I might have tried to add small flecks of gold to the top. Very small. As the paint dries is worth watching 🥸
Thanks so much!! Yes, that was my plan, to add them to the top as well....and then I chickened out, lol.
Another Great Save Andy!!! Love it❤ P.s. I thought I was the only one with that many ,or more pairs of readers.😅😂
Thanks so much, and oh no...I have even more! 😂🤓
The stenciling was just right! Not a fan of the gold but I would like silver I think. Now I want a cup of hot chocolate!
Thanks so much, and great idea with the silver! 🍩☕️
That turned out absolutely beautiful. I love everything about it. Great job. Maybe a cushion on your chair will get your tush up a little bit higher for more comfortable typing but it’s absolutely beautiful.

Thanks so much!
I loved the imperfect raised stencil, the knobs and the beautiful legs. I am undecided on the gold leaf.
Thanks so much, and thanks for that feedback! I agree - it's not quite there...😅
I hope you use the gold leaf idea combined with a color with gold undertones. Live the table! And all the glasses. I can relate to that!
Great idea! Many thanks! 🤓

Andy, you never fail to surprise. Well done Ms.Andy.
Many thanks!
Great transformation. A piece worth having.
Thank you!!
The "freeform" raised stencil came out looking really nice! I like the milk chocolate-washed finish on the legs, but for this table I think I might have preferred the legs painted the same color as the body, perhaps one shade darker (or lighter?) than the body of the piece. I agree with you that the goldleaf was a bit too bright; it was good that you toned it done and didn't continue it.
Thanks so much! Yes, I thought of that idea too - I think you're right that it would look really nice!
At last Andy!!, I have missed your sessions, but realised it was because you were working on the 'show'. I must confess, I was worried you may never come back to us, thank you for this one.
Oh, you are so welcome!! Yes, definitely hard for me to post weekly, but I am not going anywhere!
That turned out BEAUTIFULLY
Thanks so much!
I wasn't sure about the grey desk and brown legs but it really works! Shame on me for doubting you. Your magic is special.
Oh wow, thanks so much!! 🪄😍
Beautiful. What a surprising little delight. I love it. Thanks for taking us along on this creative adventure.
❤🎉❤🥰 🎉❤🥰♥️
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Cyd in MD. A summer special you say? Bring it on...after the play of course 🙂
Thanks Cyd, can't wait! 🏖️
I loved the stencil, it felt like both snow white and Goldilocks would have loved. I can imagine jars of honey and juicy red apples but you lost me on the grey blue. I thought a sunshine warm yellow would look more sweet
Love those color ideas!! That blue looks nice with the brown legs, but I agree - it would be fun to warm it up. 😊
@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy and its a floral, it kinda reminded be of a field of buttercups. I did like the wallpaper you chose and the new accessories as well.
Cute and perfect size too. Sometimes small and compact fits the bill. I've done this stencil technique way back on small items using spackle. Super fun to do. I cannot wait to see what the gang has been up to in your upcoming special! Woo hoo!
Thanks so much, and looking forward to the summer fun, lol!
WOW! Just wow! And more than just right! I’m inspired! Thank you for sharing your mighty talents! ❤❤❤
Hooray, you are so welcome! And many thanks!
Always love your videos. The legs gorgeous. Best color ever. Table really cute. 😊
Yay, thank you so much!
WHEN will "As the paint dries" return?!!!! I must be sure to be 100% available! In other news: your "casual" approach to a technique is better than most other people's perfectionism. I think the gold leaf technique deserves a whole fable to itself.
YAY!!! I will for sure keep you updated on the Summer Special, and many thanks for the stenciling encouragement. 😍 I'm thrilled you think there's something there with the gold leaf idea - I'd really like to keep working with it and see where it goes.... Thank you SO MUCH, Gina!! 😍🏖️🙏
