I would price it between $850- $1200 but I hope the original owners reclaim it. Andie you are quickly becoming a master refinisher/reimaginer. Your staging is flawless. So many ideas for how to use this piece.

    Took me a few minutes to pick my jaw up off the floor! What a facelift this old gal got. I cannot believe that the veneer could be repaired so perfectly. Truly beautiful now and I think those small imperfections make this little lady have even more character. I'm not great at pricing antique restorations but surely it would bring at least $500. I see there are some estimates here that are double that and I am not surprised. Great job on this Andy. Thank goodness Vinnie is there to guard against cat drawer attacks!

    My grandparents owned a dresser like this one. They used it in the bathroom. They were born in 1884 and 1886 respectively. I'm not sure, but I believe they used it as a dry sink. I was born in 1949, so we didn't ask a lot of questions back then. I love your take on this one, so darn classy.

    I think everyone has said it all. It is one stunning transformation. I can't imagine what might have happened to all that beautiful walnut veneer had it been gifted to anyone else. The pulls were a brilliant choice. I never would have thought of such a bold choice but they set off the whole piece perfectly. I am always excited when a new Furniture Fables comes out. Watching it is always a little treat to myself. Thank you for all the work, imagination, and heart you put into these.

    Hi Andy, when I was in school about 45 years ago, there was an older boy named Everett. I believe he had dropped out, but he was one of the most beautiful, guys I had ever seen. Your Everett made me think of him. Beautiful with some minor, rough spots for interest and mystery that don’t detract from the overall look. I have no idea what furniture goes for, but I would think Everett is worth at least 800 dollars. I do adore your videos. They are so entertaining. I look forward to them the way I look forward to a new movie with a favorite actor. Thank you for sharing your talents. Hugs, Julie 🥰

    Saving the veneer makes this piece extra special. The paint colors look perfect too. So much labor to save this piece. Pricing is hard it depends on the market place. Somewhere in the $500-$900 ranges. I realize that is a wide range but I don't know your market. The most value I gain so much appreciation with all the wok that goes into restoring pieces of furniture. You put much thought into your work.

And Oh Andy the final result is so beautiful 😍 By the way in my area you wouldn’t be able to sell it for it’s value, but in KC to the right person it’s worth at least $1,500 as an entry way piece.

    It’s beautiful Andy. I’d call it, half restoration, half renovation. A restovation! 😂 Whatever we call it… I call it stunning. Having done many battered pieces, I know how much work went into it, and it shows. Good enough? I should say so! The green is perfect. I would have done the same, with the frame. Some cringe at paint, but sometimes, it just makes perfect sense. The only thing that is slightest bit detracting, is the top. New veneer, it would be a home run. But that would have added quite a bit expense, not to mention time. Walnut veneer doesn’t come cheap, and you’d never recoup to cost. All and all…$750, the way it sits. It’s a beautiful piece, anyone would be proud to own. Nicely done!

All of my furniture was passed down from our family and all of it is now over 100 years old. Our upright piano just turned 120 this year! I've done my best to keep it all looking beautiful and so far, so good. The chest is stunning and you put so much love into it, I can't imagine a price. I am interested in what you do with it though.

    WOW!!!! Thats stunning!! I have a small cabinet sitting in my garage with damaged veneer like your bottom drawer front. I now have hope I can save it with glue and a prayer. Thank you for your videos and furniture wisdom, it really helps me learn new techniques on the pieces I do.
    I think you could get between $800-$1000 for the dresser.

    This is a gorgeous furniture flip! It is stunning. The color green Everet goes so well with the walnut veneer. The gold knobs are worth every penny. I hope the family takes it back or the daughter wants it for some day. Then the 30 hours of sanding will be worth it. Great job! You are too hard on yourself to say that it is "good enough." If priced it should be close to a $1000. The bow dresser is a real find. It hits my classic style very well. Great job!

    Your patience is commendable... sanding is the worst! At least when it goes on and on. And ON! She turned out beautifully as usual!

    To me, that's a stunning $600 - $800 dresser. (But that's in AUD, so it'd work out less in USD). It really does seem to glow! Gorgeous!

    I love how the paint frames each panel of walnut veneer as the works of art (by Mother Nature) that they truly are. Well done and I'd say it could fetch at least $800--$1000. Your meticulousness and artistry are admirable!

    I don't comment very often as I usually watch your uploads on the tv while relaxing with my coffee. But I watch every single episode and I'm so very glad you're on UA-cam. I think everyone needs the opportunity to share in your joy and creativity. We all need a little Andy in our lives.
    By the way, how is your play coming along? I hope your rehearsals are going well and the production is everything you were hoping for.

    Wow!!! One of your best yet. I love the detail in the pulls, trim piece and paper. You always pick the best patterned paper. Absolutely stunning piece. Definitely a minimum of 400 to 500+ . Thanks so much for sharing your talents. Be blessed!

  • @danettecadzow9837

    Beautiful job. Love the colors together. The paint really highlights the beauty of the drawer fronts. Those knobs are worth every penny. I don't think a minimum of $250 would be out of line.

  • @moonlightdancer08

    Stunning... just stunning!! Wow, I learned a lot from this fable. I would have never thought you could bring veneer back from the brink like that. Thank for showing all that you had to do with it, to get it to come back to life. It encourages me to turn to other solutions - rather than just painting over problems.

  • @TamarLitvot
    @TamarLitvot 9 місяців тому +2

    This has got to be one of my very favorites. I just love the beautiful wood grain framed by the painted wood. Can’t believe you were able to take that poor sad beat-up dresser and not just restore it but actually improve it from its original state. My DIL has a lovely mid century modern dresser with some cracked veneer - I’m going to send her a link to this. Some of the veneer on hers is beyond repair but most is in much better shape than what you dealt with. Hope this will inspire her!
    At least $500. At least! I’d go higher except that, to be fair, some of the repairs are epoxy and wood filler so they’re not in the original materials. Not a criticism at all. To re-veneer and put in carved wood replacement pieces for the trim and the paw feet (which have toe nails no less!) would probably cost so much that the piece would be entirely unaffordable. Your redo is both beautiful and creative and if I lived near you and had any room in my house, I’d rush over to buy it before someone else got it!

    WOW. I am speechless. This is a STUNNING restoration!! I kept waiting for you to just scrap restoring the veneer because of all the damage, but I’m so glad you didn’t. I think this is my favorite piece of yours. I hope you don’t sell it for less than $1000, because that was labor-intensive and I know there will be buyers who will appreciate the time & care & thought that went into not only the restoration process, but all the design choices. I wish I could buy it!

    Wowzerz! What an absolutely breathtaking piece! You really performed a magical miracle on this one, Andy. I was thinking at least in the $800-900 range would be more than fair for the quality and time spent on bringing this piece back from the brink. I would buy it in a heartbeat! Bravo!!

    This is so beautiful! Outstanding work Andy. The wood grain on the drawers and top is so beautiful. I like how you showed the mirror supports at the end. I'd hang a small mirror on the wall there where the supports are. Nice to see Drea also. Isn't it nice to have someone who surprises you with tools? LOL. I love getting handy helpers from my guy. I'm a tool nerd. Thanks for another great video! Looking good lady!

    Beautiful job, Andy! I was mentally preparing to unsubscribe if you’d have painted that figured walnut, but I knew better! There was nothing ‘wrong’ with the wood on the frame but it was literally nothing special - painting it in Everett was the right choice to frame the walnut. Crafting an escutcheon from Bondo was genius!!! The pulls are great, but just a *little* too big for my taste; regardless of my taste, it looks fantastic! I’d ask $800-900 and you should get that easily. I think this is my favorite piece by you…❤ The walnut is so amazing, thank you😊
