"Unpretentious happiness"- perfect description. The end result is rather reminiscent of a men's 70's outfit: with a dark pair of bellbottom jeans and a Paisley shirt. But smart, clean, and put-together. Just delightful! Missed you terribly, too! (like so many of us fable fan weirdos 😉)
what a wonderful piece you created again!! I'm always in aww of your attention to detail, your precision and your craftmenship, not to mention your creativity!! The little desk got it's beauty restored and surely will be loved. And don't worry about you absence. Sometimes a break is needed to recharge and bring back the joy an creativity while making not only the furniture makeover but also the entertaining videos which are an art in themselves. Thank you, Andy ❤
It’s SO GOOD TO SEE YOU!! We’ve all missed your wonderfully witty stories and great ideas!! PLEASE! Don’t get burn out again!! If you have to reduce your video output we completely understand!! Welcome back!!!!!!!!!!!
You still have it!!! More than simply reminding us of your symphony of refinishing skills, this project transmits such a sense of optimism! Another winner.
The mice are beatniks? I laughed out loud and immediately replayed that section again!!! So good to have all your creative gifts back again: music, drama, humour and artistic flair. Love all you do.
SHE IS BACK!! I was thrilled to see you tonight. I love how this turned out. When I saw it, I can not lie, my first thought was ugly. I remember this style of furniture from the seventies. I always disliked it. I should have had more faith in you. It turned out delightful and adorable. Welcome back Andy. ❤❤
Yay, thanks so much, Tava!! Yes, the lines of this funky little desk were not my favorite either, but I'm glad you agree we found the right note to bring out it's cuteness! Thanks again, so great to be back! 😊💙
Okay, I watched the whole thing and... it's stunning! Didn't think I would like the distressed cup pulls, but they suit the piece wonderfully! All that said, I think most of us understand needing time off, but next time, could you let us know you're still kicking, pretty please? We worry!
I guess I worry too much, even for people I don't know. You dear lady, have a few very distinctive talents. Not just your furniture flipping, but that mind of yours, that created Biff, and Painterly, and the rest of them, but also that beautiful singing voice. You have managed to suck us all in. We care. 💜
Your hiatus definitely worked for you. You look so relaxed and happy. The desk is so pretty! Back in the mid 80s, when I was newly married, we bought a bedroom set with this exact finish, and yes, it was pine. I much prefer your redone version to the original!
Andy, not really a fan of the light blue paint but by the time you were done the piece is just precious…you are very dedicated and talented with the paints and stains and various techniques…such a good eye for what the piece is needing. Love your fables and glad to see you back on YT.
Hello Andy! It's so wonderful to see you back on YT with a new fable !! I enjoyed this makeover & love the distressed cup pulls, the paint wash & the cute decoupage paper. Bravo 👏👏 I truly hope you enjoyed your hiatus, which are definitely beneficial from time to time 💗💗
I absolutely LOVE the transformation! Thank you for your thoroughness. In a world where everything is sped up, slowing down with you and watching and learning with a morning beverage is the best!!! Thank you!
I really thought the darker blue blend made for a very good choice. It softened the color and added a unique color instead of the basic blue you started off with. I had been working in the garden all morning and this was a nice way to relax, watching someone else at work. Seems like the price is right also, considering all the work you put into it. The Decoupage also gave the whole piece a personalized look, adding something other than just a paint effect. Nice to see you back at it.
Welcome back Andy 🥰 just ❤❤ everything about this cute desk 👍❤ the decoupage paper and the hardware looks Fab . Take care and can’t wait for your next project 😊
I finally had a chance to watch your video! So great to have you back improving furniture and entertaining us with your witty videos. And your voice! You have a beautiful voice! Love the folksy desk with the beautiful, colorful paper. Clever mixing of the blue colors. Gorgeous transformation. Welcome back❤
Oh how I have waited for your delightful videos!!! This little desk is just lovely!!! That paper is so adorable and I love the rose handles!!! You are so fun and inspiring 🤗
And We will always love Yooooooou! And your beatnik mice! LOL. Such a beautiful little desk! Thanks for showing us your inspiration pieces. It's great to see some of your creative process. Not furniture related but I really enjoy the music you use in your videos. Upbeat and energetic with some classical twists. Just the right accompaniment for a fable :)
Yay, thank you so so much, and the beatnik mice thank you as well! 😂🐭😎 Also lovely to hear you enjoy the music - my "real job" is as a professional musician, and so the music element is so important to me. 😊💙🙏🎶
Oh it’s so lovely to have you & Drea back! What a great transformation with the dark wash, I’ve seen people use different waxes to distress, but this really created a beautiful effect. Have a wonderful & blessed weekend 🤗🙏🏻!
Welcome back! You were missed. A fun, whimsical return. The black wash over the lighter blue really made a difference. Allowed the drawer front details to stand out without competition. Pulls are perfect for this piece.
Oh Andy, this came out so beautifully! I loved the light blue and then fell in love after you put the darker blue on it for such a special appeal. The decoupage paper was perfect in color mixing and design for this table. I too think pine gets left behind to often. So happy to see you back and as usual, the music was great!! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride!!
Andy!!!! Welcome back!! Super, stupendous, stunning... I've missed you and your antics :). Thanks for the Saturday night smiles! The piece is just a sweet happy moment - hope you find a home for her!
Andy! You delightful genius, you! You have no idea how happy I am to see you back. The desk is gorgeous; I love EVerything about it, especially the paper and the flower pulls.
Wooo-hooooo!!!! Many, many thanks, Gina! (Especially since now I can tell my husband I have been called a genius...😂👍💙) I'm SO glad you loved the desk and great to hear that feedback about the pulls. 😊💙
Wow indeed Andy! She is beautiful!! Love, love, the Tangerine Spring paper- I was looking for a design just like that and those colors! I will definitely be getting some of that. Gorgeous and welcome back! The pulls look good distressed, and the color you created is perfect!
Late to the party but so happy to have you back. Hope you took care of all that “stuff.” And I love how you took an ugly desk and turned it into something you might see in Carl Larsson’s home. I totally agree that the dark stain was a way of trying to hide the pine. I too love and appreciate pine.
Pretty sure this stout little desk had its origins in the '70's, so this folk-art flip is spot on! The colors are very reminiscent of blue jeans and the groovy mod patterns from back in the day. It's Ab-Fab!
Yay! She's back!!!😃🙂🤩

Yay, thanks Deborah - I'm so happy to "see" you too! 😊💗
Just barely started watching the video, but I had to immediately say how happy I am to see you back. Have prayed you and your family are well.🎉
Okay, I watched the whole thing and... it's stunning! Didn't think I would like the distressed cup pulls, but they suit the piece wonderfully! All that said, I think most of us understand needing time off, but next time, could you let us know you're still kicking, pretty please? We worry!
Oh my goodness, thank you so much, Becky!! And yes - I will try to keep you updated in the future, I'm so sorry if you were worried!! Thanks again. 😊💙

Not just your furniture flipping, but that mind of yours, that created Biff, and Painterly, and the rest of them, but also that beautiful singing voice. You have managed to suck us all in. We care. 💜
I was the proud owner of a desk just like this in 1970. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
Your hiatus definitely worked for you. You look so relaxed and happy. The desk is so pretty! Back in the mid 80s, when I was newly married, we bought a bedroom set with this exact finish, and yes, it was pine. I much prefer your redone version to the original!

Love the paper. Great to have you back!!
Yay, thanks so much, Carrie!! 😊💙
This introduction was so darn funny!😅🤣😂

Such a charming cottage style piece! Happy you are back Andi
Many thanks, Karen!! 😊💙
I agree! I love pine. It can be a bit tricky, but worth it. This came out so adorably!
Yay, thanks so much! 😊💙
Andy, not really a fan of the light blue paint but by the time you were done the piece is just precious…you are very dedicated and talented with the paints and stains and various techniques…such a good eye for what the piece is needing. Love your fables and glad to see you back on YT.
Oh that is great to hear, thanks so much Joyce!! 😊💙
Andy I love your little fables.

Thanks so much, Shelia!
So glad you’re back Andy . Love the desk, the paper is stunning.

Fun and funky. Such an improvement. I normally cringe with distressing but you did just enough so it doesn’t look overdone.
Yay, so glad that hit the right note! Many thanks! 😊💙
I absolutely LOVE the transformation! Thank you for your thoroughness. In a world where everything is sped up, slowing down with you and watching and learning with a morning beverage is the best!!! Thank you!
Oh, I LOVE that Nancy, thank you so much! 😊💙☕️
I will never be able to get over the huge prices of California! AMAZING
The funny thing is that my husband thinks that's underpriced! 😅 Pricing is weird and hard for me. 😊💙
Where have you been, you’ve been greatly missed! Sooooo glad you are back. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
So sorry, I've just been terribly busy, but so so happy to be back!! 😊💗
