I really liked your makeover. The only things I would have done differently is use a lighter wood stain and paint the strip between the drawers. I love to see you keeping some of the natural wood instead of painting the whole piece!
I don't know if you heard me, but I'm glad you actually "saved your knees!" lol I thought this was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, UNTIL THE DRAWERS! Nooo that looked mixed-matched! If the drawers were black as well, it would be perfect in my eyes, but hey everybody's taste isn't the same.
haha I had old knee pads but purchased some new ones! and for the style, I found ideas on Pinterest/Etsy that had sold for thousands and did similar work.
@@FurnitureFlippa I like your spirit.
@@FurnitureFlippa The only thing I would have done different would be painting the strip of wood in between the drawers black. You did a great job!
@@maple9326 funny I started it but then said nope and put tape on it. I think you can kinda see the video jump from no tape to tape when I was priming.
I love it. I’m getting ready to do a black and natural wood antique sideboard myself. I think it’s called Tuxedo. Looks great! I agree, the strip in the middle in black would have tied it all together. But it looks phenomenal! Thanks for the inspirational video.
It looks beautiful! If I were to do anything at all differently, I might’ve used a slightly lighter gel stain. But I understand you used what you already had on hand.
I literally checked your page earlier today to see if you uploaded anything new.... and the I look back now and (BAM) .... new video. Thanks...
I would have used a much lighter stain for more contrast, painted the drawers and trim between them black and used a warm gold toned hardware. I am trying so hard to find a piece like this to paint. Or as some people say “ruin”. 😂 Great job!
thanks for your input! I used gel stain I had kicking around and I only have silver gilding wax, I need to get gold!! and LOL sadly people do say that haha
I have a similar buffet that I have been wanting to paint but due to being exposed to moisture it has probably swelled and needs to be completely reglued. Do you have any suggestions or videos on how to reglue joints, legs, sides, etc? I don't even know where or how to begin.🤷♀️
@@paisleypeacock1001 If you do a search for furniture repair on Jami Ray Vintage’s RUclips channel, they have lots of videos on it, I think.
@@conniesisco6468 I actually looked there a few months ago but they flip so much stuff that they might have a new repair video. Good thinking. Thanks.
Yes, definitely gold.
Love the two tone and the top looks fantastic! I really like a stained top and you addressed the imperfections, so now it looks stellar..nice job!
I like that you got underneath on the ends to that really looks better
Looks really good. I think my preference would be to leave all the entire base stained and paint the drawers black but your way adds more interest.
It caught my eye because I am working on a buffet right now too. Yours turned out amazing!
thanks!!
I love Fusion! Excellent job with this buffet!
You have a gift. Making something old beautiful again. The black and wood tone is gorgeous!! Very nice job! TFS, be safe and God bless! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks Twinky!! Glad you liked it!
This turned out absolutely beautiful thank you so much for sharing and you're a great teacher as well have a great day and God bless
Thanks for the kind words Cathy :)
Interesting looking piece. It has a very distinct style and the two tone paint job works well on it. I felt a little doubtful halfway through the video, but ended up liking the result.
I would probably paint the silver hardware in a dark bronze, though - they look a little too bright and shiny, imo. But hey, that's something the new owners can easily do themselves.
I JUST bought almost the exact same buffet for $150 on Offerup for my daughter's wedding bar! Omgoodness, I am going to follow this step by step. Love your black and stain combo, good job!
You did an amazing job on this cabinet. Love, Love, Love it!!!!
Beautiful! I love stained wood/painted wood combinations!
Beautiful job!!! I like this video because it shows realistically how much work is involved when you do a piece like this
This one turned out really nice. Really freshened up while leaving the beautiful details.
I have just come across your channel and subscribed after watching this. I have just purchased a discontinued solid pine Ikea buffet sideboard from the leksvik range. It is a well sought after piece that took me sometime to finally get my hands on. I am so happy that I finally have it and I want to give it some TLC to bring it back to its former glory. Your buffet is a truly beautiful piece of furniture and I can see why you purchased it. You did an amazing job. I absolutely love how it turned out. (Dee in the U.K.)
Nice job. One of those plastic spray can nozzles will make your life so much easier. My daughter used mine today & loved it.
You asked lol - I didn't like the finish on the handles; too bright. I also didn't like the dark stain. I loved that you did it black. I can't wait to get my hands on one of those buffets. Other than my own personal dislikes, you did a great job!
Youre right handle finishes are not very pretty wrong metal color.…personally would try to replicate the finishes closer to the era in which it was originally made. If not that then with a color not a stain.
Wow!Seconds before this video,got a marketplace alert for this exact same piece...free. I would love to get it,but wasn't sure if I could do it justice.You make it look so easy.love your channel.
Thanks Monica!!
Beautiful color combo. What an amazing peice to work on . Love choice of hardware. Awesome.
Thanks for the kind words Lydia!
Thanks for the video, nice work. I just purchased one of these. Thinking of transforming it into a kitchen island with a butcher block top..
I’ve always wanted to get my hands on one of these pieces.
They are fun to flip!! Harder to find though, and typically more expensive..
So happy you didn't to the cheap chalk paint and chippy distress!!!
You gave it new life without destroying the original master piece
Beautiful job! Love the black and wood combo. ❤
Thanks Sabby! Excited to see yours!
Awesome finish. Love the stain with the black.
Nice to see I'm not the only one that crawls all over the ground! I'm new at this and still use a brush, but I like the spray primer idea!
I love this it turned out very beautiful. You asked us to comment what we would do differently. There is honestly only two things I’d personally change & it’s just a personal preference. I would of painted in between the drawers black. And I would of used a nice warm or vintage gold for the hardware. And that’s it. But the way you done yours is still perfect 👍
Thanks Sarah! Glad you liked it and thanks for your input/ideas!
Super nice piece. Great video. As much as I love silver (so much!), I think I may have opted for a more muted tone to blend a little more. It still looks great though. I just love antique furniture.
I love it!! I really like the two tone of black and wood.
I love these old pieces, have one myself and I just couldn't bring myself to paint it. It is a personal preference but I just don't like painted pieces. Somewhere down the road we will see folks restoring and stripping paint.
What a beautiful piece of furniture for your creative skills. I enjoyed the process and I love the stunning outcome! You are very talented sir and this piece will make some one very happy indeed😊👍💕
Thanks D for the kind words! :)
Nicely done! A masculine piece. Very good
I love the lines of the piece. It turned out nicely. I would have left the two side doors stained though. I would have chosen a nice antique gold for the hardware. That being said, you did a lovely job, and thanks for the tips on the water stains!
Laura I agree the doors would have looked better stained and either black or bronze hardware would have been more like the original hardware. The design on the doors would look good painted black maybe?
@@jcrefasi1, I think your choices would have looked fantastic on this piece!
@@laurathompson1913 thanks!! My grandmother had a sideboard like this but her doors were not that ornate. The legs were exactly the same as this one. Wish I had it but its still in the family at least
Your videos are very thorough and informative. Very helpful! Thank you!
I love it‼️ it turned out absolutely beautiful I probably would have did the knobs in gold. I know not everyone's a fan of gold. But something about gold and black just looks real rich to me, other than that it's beautiful love the colors!! ❤️ Great Job‼️
I love this piece! Beautiful!!❤️
Omg just amazing! Gorgeous piece!
That is a professional job. I just don't have the tools to do it but I will love to that on some of my furniture.
Really like this! Lots of hard work and it looks amazing! You do still need some additional practice time on the paper airplanes, but you will get there! 😊 💖💖💖
Thank you!! And hahaha I will certainly get on the paper airplane practicing 😂
Aah, love this look. You're so chill to watch. 💕🌻 Awesome
Thanks Rochelle :)
Top turned out great. Like the design of the piece.
.
Thank you Claudia!
Thanks so much for your videos I really appreciate what tools you use and how to apply it. (The damp brush awesome) will continue to watch you channel. The furniture piece looks great!!
I like the way it turned out. I’m not any kind of an expert, but I am a fan of this kind of video.
It’s a beautiful piece
It looks just like my grandmothers buffet I remember while growing up. Her dining room table had similar legs too. I like the dark stain with the top and legs but I think the center drawers would also look good black too. The hardware really looks good on the black,side cabinets.
Thanks for the tips on stripping, I’m going to try and tackle a side table with turned legs. This finish is just crumbling off at this point.
Thanks for watching! Good luck with your side table project!
I like it very much I wonder if the detailed work on the front cabinet could have been highlighted a little bit with something?
Awesome transformation! It looks modern now.
Thank you!!
You used a very dark stain, which is quite beautiful on the oak, but dark paint as well makes it lacking interest. I think gold hardware and some gold wax on the wooden door details might have worked better for visual impact.
Love silver hardware. Beautiful
I love the stain you chose 😍
Glad you liked it!!
Great job
Beautiful!!
Beautiful work!!
BOnsoir, great flip! I have to do something similar to this because my dog ate the legs... yup he ate my antiques... looks great I would of left the door in wood.... just my preference that is all. TFS. Christine
No way brutal!! And thanks glad you like it, and I thought about doing the doors but wanted to use some more paint haha Thanks for watching!
Thanks for all the details, I took notes
Thanks for watching!
What a beautiful piece!
What a beautiful peice to work on.liked the lighter wood before staining too. But just BEAUTIFUL.great choice on the hardware.
Thanks Lydia, glad you liked it!!
Ty am mom ñb BBC
Very nice!
Loved the Hardware
Great work! Thanks for the video. Can I use this stripper for a Queen Ann (Cherry) Dining Table with inlays or should I stick with sanding in case stripper loosens inlay glue? Thanks
amazing !
Nice work.
Great auction find! I think a lighter colored stain would have provided for more contrast would have the doors and drawers stained and and used the black pain on door raised areas.
Thanks, and I like that idea with the black paint on the raised door part. That would be cool!
Gorgeous!! Beautiful job!!!❤️❤️❤️
Love it!
What do you recommend for those not refinishing (can't take on the project right now) but want to clean up the piece & protect it until a possible future refinishing project?
It's a beautiful piece! I would have painted the drawer fronts black and used a muted gold on the hardware. The silver does not look good with the warm oak stain. The gel stain looks great too! 👍Also remember to wear gloves when working with stripper and clean up. Nice to see you wear an appropriate respirator mask.❣
thanks for watching Julia :)
Didn’t like the two drawers stained. I would of painted it all black. Should of used gold for the drawer pulls to flow with the warm brown. Otherwise u did a good job.
its beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful!!
Amazing!!!
really nice.
Beautiful Jacobean sideboard. I have a similar one, along with the matching extendable dining room table and six chairs. I'm just missing the cupboard that goes with the set. Mine needs to be oiled and waxed, or whatever...not really sure of what to do with the pieces but I know i dont want to paint them. I just wish they were lighter in color because they really darken the room. Mine are walnut and oak and stained very dark.
I'd lean into the dark colors in the room. Maybe reevaluate your overhead lighting and maybe add some scones or a lamp to help set a mood.
Striking! Very nice work. I would have worked on it upsidedown after step having laid down protective cardboard and tape of the top. Upsidedown and away from the wall. Remember to give the rear tlc too for a finished piece.
Great tip!
Came out Beautiful
Great job!! Just a tip that I just found out. Rather thank taping up the legs before painting, you can you use tin foil/Reynolds Wrap! You just tear off a strip & mold it around - easy peasy!! Thanks!
wow what a time saver! Thanks for the tip :)
Great job man!
Thanks Jimmy!!
My husband is a woodworker so I took a peek at your work. I watched you refinish a dining table and dresser and I liked what you did. The buffet? Not so much. I would have kept it more uniform and chosen different hardware. I have an art nouveau antique buffet (or sideboard) with a unique dolphin design and keyhole hardware that we bought years ago at an antique fair for $500. It has served us well over the years but needs the top refinished as our dining room skylight has faded the top. The wood finish is similar to the original piece. I will be interested in seeing future episodes. :)
You gotta put plastic wrap over the stripper and IT WORKS WONDERS plus then you'll only have to do it once . I learned that from another refurbish video too
Nice tip! But I did only strip once on this piece, I always use steel wool and mineral spirits and I recommend everyone use it to remove the sticky residue before moving on!
really liked the dual paint/bare wood look - it would have been nice if the doors perhaps for example had the inner design panels brought out in bare wood for contrast and more interest
Congrats, you got a nice piece of furniture and now you have a painted pallet.
Thanks!!
I would love to see you use more colours and or transfers on some of your pieces. I think you do an amazing job.
Q# I live in Oshawa, do you in addition to your found projects also redo furniture that people have.
Thanks
Thanks! I do not redo other people's furniture, I am more comfortable doing my own thing (more relaxing) rather than dealing with customers.
LOVE it!!!!
glad you do! Thanks!
Love the finish on the buffet. Not loving the hardware in silver though. Brass or gold would have been better in my opinion. Great info there. Thanks for sharing.
These pieces are just gorgeous I think in the before & afters & some sell for 3K to 3.5K. They’re very good turnovers even if you’ve paid $150 to purchase it. I thought what you did was good & a more modern improvement than before. If it were me I’d probably left the top, legs & the design on the little door fronts the same colors but lighter including the strip between the drawers & that longer wood piece on the top drawer. The reason why being these are the prettiest parts on this piece & a lighter vrs. darker color pulls them out & forward where a darker color hides & pushes the pretty parts away. You want to highlight those pieces bc they’re focal points on the piece & will probably make them sell better. The rest of it I just wouldn’t use black but there’s a lot of other wonderful colors you could use. Blues, greens, corals or other colors I’ve seen used that are beautiful. I’d of kept the inside the same color as the top, legs & door fronts. I wouldn’t of used silver for the handles but a more golden color. When I saw all the cites on refinishing furniture I started saving videos on some of the ones I liked & I saved many on these buffets. If I were doing one of these I refer to one of those vids to help me decide on the right color until I developed a feel for what I thought would be the best. You still did a beautiful job & I think a lot of men would of painted it black.
Very nice
You can use grey to it works good
Nice tip!
It’s beautiful!
thanks Joslyn!!
I really liked what you did here
Thanks!!
Fabulous
thanks Christine!
It’s beautiful!! I’d prefer gold hardware, but it’s still gorgeous!
I could have gone gold, but I only have silver Gilding wax LOL
I also prefer gold or brass hardware but overall this piece is beautiful!!!! Great job!
Does mineral spirit conditiins the wood?
Very Nice!
Thanks Kathy!!
Nice
What did you use to remove the water stains? You mentioned it in the video, but I couldn't tell exactly what you said. :) Thanks
Hello. I enjoyed your video. Quick question. Is there any issue with topping an oil based primer with the mineral paint? I recently tried to use up some of my paint supply on a couple of wicker chairs, and when I topped the latex based paint with the oil paint, it become extremely tacky. I assume this was because I mixed oil and water based paints. I ended up buying more oil based spray paint and was able to save the chairs, but it definitely didn’t save me any money, as I’d originally hoped to do by using up my stash. lol.
Beautiful, I would love to try this, but I don’t have a sprayer is there another way to apply the poly?
Many people use a foam applicator, I haven't myself but it seems like a good way to do it!
