Veneer felt like a potato chip... Vintage Buffet Makeover
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 ноя 2021
- A Jacobean style buffet left in the rain doesn't look the same! This sideboard/buffet was given to me by Corey at Mission Side Hustle. The unfortunate tropical storm trashed this beauty, but we will make it whole again in this video. Truly a trash to treasure refinish in this video. Originally manufactured by the Grand Rapids Chair Company, the solid build of this buffet helped to keep it in one piece during extreme conditions.

Original Poem:
The thing about life is
Things don't always pan out the way you expect
Sometimes you wrap a buffet in a tarp
And you hope it doesn't get wet.
But when a tropical storm blows through
It's hard for veneer to stay true
Even if the build was excellent
Glue can fail and wood can become spent
Nature will reclaim everything
That is what they say
But this buffet
Will not be taken to the dump today.

Well Miss Emily a quick story. I just redone a Victorian two flight stair case. Wife changed her mind on the wall colors. Put down drop cloths on my buttery smooth hand planed, hand made, scribed to fit stair treads and railings. Now picture this. A 6 foot 250 pound man bounces up the two case to the 5 gallon of unmixed pearl white paint on the top step. 2nd step from the top my foot placement takes all the slack out of the drop cloth. This snatches the pail of paint off the step. Instead of it spilling naturally I grasp for it only to give it more momentum to TUMBLE down the stairs sloshing paint over the whole world. Along behind it I followed suit due to slipping in paint trying to catch the pail. So now the 6 foot 250 pound man turns into a paint snowplow. Coating again and getting the missed places with another wave of paint. So the next time you knock over paint or stain remember it can get worse.
I wish you could see my reaction as I read this. I think your best descriptor was 'The 6ft 250lb man turns into a paint snow plow.' This is hilarious and terrifying at the same time. I have seen these stairs cases. They are no joke pieces of art. I probably would have cried as I started cleaning everything up. I pinned this comment. It is definately a scenario I hope I never see in real time. Thank you for sharing this!!! How is the stair case doing now?
@@ReconstructingEmily I enlisted every person within driving distance to help get up the wet paint. There was a ShopVac harmed in our rescue. I only had to scrape down and refinish three 2nd story steps. The middle landing however had to be pulled up and refinished completely. It’s all good now. Thank you for sharing your work.
@@js8039 I love that "a shopvac was harmed in our rescue". Ah my heart goes out to you. That's terrible. Hope you didn't injure yourself in the process.
Oh my ever loving ... as a naturally clumsy DiYer I felt this to my very soul.
Your description had me rolling. What a nightmare though. Lol
YOUR RECONSTRUCTION/RESTORATION OF THIS JACOBEAN BUFFET IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!
THE COLORS ARE MARVELOUS!!!💖💖💖💖💖
Thank you Diane 😊
Thank you for showing that these pieces are worth salvaging! We bought several 1940 Kittinger pieces made of solid mahogany for much less than the cost of new, cheaply made furniture that would only last a couple of years.
Plus, you are keeping things from ending up in a landfill when they will bring so much joy and pleasure to someone for years to come. ❤
OMG! Emily. You have outdone yourself. This is STUNNING, and your storytelling was so great too :)
Nooo don't tell me that. Next project will end up being a real snooze fest!
Thank you for sticking to it. The times I was in a jam and persevered I learned a lot about myself. There is great heart he behind that sentence but broken was fixed stronger, I found.
🥰🥰🥰
HELLO TO YOU & TO ALL 👀 WATCHING THIS WONDERFUL CHANNEL.
I'AM A FAN OF ALL WHOME ARE ABLE TO DO THESE'S RESTORATION'S.
I WAS WONDERING IF YOU HAVE EVER DONE A RESTORATION ON A BEAUTYFUL BUFAEY LIKE THE ONE YOU HAVE DONE ON THIS ONE, BUT ADDING ON A MARBLE TOP INSTEAD.
I'AM CURIOUS & WONDER HOW IT WOULD LOOK,
ALTHOUGH I KNOW THAT OF COURSE IT WOULD BE
SPECTACULAR.
THANK'S FOR THE HARD WORK THAT YOU ALL PUT INTO YOUR VID'S FOR US TO ENJOY.
PEACE & BLESSING'S.
I really like the stain against the paint color. It's beautiful and you did a great job, even with a few mishaps. I'm glad you were able to restore this beautiful buffet. Great Job!
Thank you Beverly! The stain with the paint has a sort of richness to it. I really like it myself, even with the contrasting top color. 💙
Thank you for including your accidents. It shows not every plan is without boo boos. Your work is great and what a lovely to breathe life back into something.❤️
Thank you Jacquelynn! We all make mistakes. I think its important for people to see the whole process as much as possibly because as you said not every plan goes as planned. What is important is that we keep going! ❤
WOW! That old girl turned out beautiful. Love the dark blue. So glad Corey let you take care of her. WELL DONE!
Thank you Chris!
Love your creativity and skill. I appreciated the inclusion of the “oops” paint moments so we know you’re not perfect. Your presentation was soothing as well as informative!
💯 not perfect! I am honestly surprised I haven't dropped more things 😅. Thank you Joyce ❤️ 😊
I nearly cried when I saw the spilled stain! And then the paint! I hate when that happens. It's so sad.
This piece turned out so good! I'd say you definitely saved it.
That unfortunate paint spill was obviously the work of the furniture Gods guiding you to the perfect paint color . Stunning.
I wish they were kinder to my garage floors, but they must know I am stubborn! Thanks Mary!
Congratulations on this project! The final outcome looks fantastic.
🌸❤️🌸
Thank you!! 😊
When I was growing up, my mom had a buffet just like this. Ty for a great memory
Wow. Who would have thought that this totally wrecked piece could be revived into this beautiful thing? Bravo!!
Thank you Mary Kay! 😊 ❤️
I don't usually like Painted pieces but this turned out beautifully! The Blue/black colour is amazing as is the finished piece! very classy period look. Thank you for sharing your hard work with us!
This was so fantastic! As a girl from the MS Gulf Coast, I appreciate you taking the time to save a damaged piece. We lost all our furniture in Hurricane Katrina. It is a weird feeling taking all of your belongings to a curb...but then you look around and see your neighbors doing the same and realize the people are what is important. So kudos for warming my heart tonight. it is a beautiful piece.
The people are absolutely what is important. I know we often attach memories to items, but it is good to look around you to see what's here now and appreciate that as well. Thank you for sharing this Toddy! 💜
She is beautiful,,,,I absolutely love the color combination,,,,,what a resurrection,,,,,,you brought her back from the dead,,,,,,,I love this piece,,,I’m inspired
Thank you Dodd! So glad I was able to bring this piece back from certain doom! 💙
All I can say is "WOW"...absolutely stunning!! Thank you for the journey.👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for persevering! Well done! I can’t imagine how discouraging this must have been for you with the amount of damage, and your mishaps. I am a new subscriber and I really appreciate when people share their problems. Makes the rest of us feel like we can do it to.
It is most important to see that things can be overcome! Sometimes it takes a minute to get over the unfortunate circumstances, but I think its a good thing to show that it doesnt always go as planned. The reality is most people can do this with a little bit of time an patience 🙂.
I was crying as you were removing the old, ruined material, but, my smile came back as soon as I saw the finished piece. It’s absolutely phenomenal what you were able to do with it! I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it. You truly have magical hands!
I kept thinking how stunning the piece must have been in its prime. Probably why I procrastinated for so long on this one. Thank you Kay!
Wow! Most would have said she was firewood but you brought her back to life! You have an enjoyable format, great production, calming story telling! Thank you
Thank you for your kind words Tina! ❤
Amazing rescue. You gave this buffet its dignity back.
Thank you!
Wow! Absolutely gorgeous Emily. Well worth all of your efforts, it’s fabulous. Love the blue colour too 💙
Thank you so much Donna! 💙

OMG I love that guy. 2 of my fav RUclipsrs in the same video ♡♡♡
Glad you guys know each other 😁💜
We actually met over this Buffet. He lives about 40 minutes from me. Its weird seeing his stuff and going, 'I know where that is...' lol 😆
@@ReconstructingEmily That would be weird & interesting. Glad it happened. He knew where to go 😉!
Well done my dear. Well done. You make us proud.
Thank you for saving this piece and sharing it with us. You are an inspiration. Blessed Be.

Thank you Noralee!!
That is one amazing piece Emily, you are amazing lady!!
I love the Buffet! Good choice on the stain and paint color👍
Man!! Corey really screwed up! If you don’t have room to store it, don’t buy it! I hope he watches this to see how it should be done. Gold Stars for you for saving this piece and doing such a stellar job. Excellent!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yeah he has a huge storage room now. I need one myself after taking inventory of my garage space 😆. Thank you V bee 🐝 ❤️
Stunning Emily! What a transformation! You have done a superb job on the buffet ! 👍👏👏

Thank you Dawn !! 😊
Beautiful! A true labor of love! You did an outstanding job on this buffet! ✨💖🥰
Thank you Kim!
Dropping things all over the place - literally story of my life. Dropped a big container of gesso on my rug the other week and a brand new bottle of ink all over myself, my desk and everything on it, including the bottom of my ancient mac. Rip.
Thanks for including those moments - you're definitely not alone lol
And wow you put a lot of work into this one! And it shows!
Its like people that talk about writing things down before they forget it. I bought gloves with grip on them so I stop dropping things so much (hopefully). The ink though - Sheesh. That stuff gets everywhere!!! Thank you Anni!
Just beautiful Emily! Your one of my favorites, I love your poetry!
Thank you so much Kim ❤❤ This means a lot to me!
Oh wow you performed miracles with that piece. It is beautiful.
Thank you Kathy!
Wow, this is an amazing transformation! Rats nest-YUK. But now it looks fit for a queen!
Thank you 😊
I'm not sure if you read comments from older postings. I just had to comment about the loss of such thick veneer. You don't see that anymore and it almost broke my heart to watch it being stripped away. I love your videos.
Wow, what an amazing transformation!! I just love that mishap blue with the dark stain. And that top is amazing!
Thank you Alisa! 😊
Emily, you amaze me! So much work, along with "mishaps", ( that would be me, spilling things), this turned out fabulous! Job well done!
Thank you so much Vickie!
Really nice save on this one. Thoroughly enjoyed watching.
Thank you so much Julie!
Wow what an amazing salvage. The average person would never thought it could be done. Congrats on a job amazingly well done.
Just have to fully disassemble and then put it back together again 🙂 Thank you Christi!
I wish I could say ....I’ve never spilled my stain or paint. But that would make me a liar. 🤷♀️🤦♀️. You are a miracle worker
Glad I am not alone!! Thank you Christine!
Awesome restoration!! Love it!
All of your hard work certainly paid off! Beautiful results!
Thank you Terri!!

This is so sad. I have my grandmothers full dinning set. A buffet that they bought in Minnesota when they came over to America from Austria. I'm guessing sometime near the turn of the last Century. The wood is a little dry and needs a bit of love, but for their age, they are prestien. Six chairs and 2 captain chairs, the table with 3 leaves, (They had 12 children) the buffett and an unattached long mirror that appears that it was made to go with this set yet I have nor found any others nor have professionals heard of any mirrors that came with this set. By the way it is an exact match to the buffet you have there.
That is very nice. Good job
Thank you!
That’s an amazing makeover. Great job. 💕🖖🏽🌈
Thank you so much Mrs Jax! Hope youre having a good day today!
