Mando and Hugo play fighting is so cute. ❤
But very distracting!!!
Yes, I think probably the best thing that ever happened to Hugo is Mando coming to live next door 😂
I LOVE the kitties "fighting"!! All the really good ones do that -- it's so adorable!
You can always tell play fighting from the real thing -- no vocalizations or hair standing on end, ears forward, deliberate engagement in the "fight" by both cats. Yeah, they're having fun.
Awesome renovation.
Why do I enjoy your channel?
1. Your kitties.
2. Your humor.
3. Your skills.
Love, love, love this piece!!
Thank you so much!☺️
OMG you have bengal cat!!! They are the CUTEST ❤
Your results make me homesick for another era. Average people cannot afford this quality new anymore. The golden age began ending after 1970. @@Flippingdrawers
And dont forget....hes fancy af!
That turned out gorgeous. I do not know why so many people hate the color of real wood.
Eu adoro, nada como um móvel em madeira tratada na sua cor original. Pessoas estragam móveis pintando-os das mais diversas cores em nome de uma tal de decoração... Triste costume.
It's just a style. I'm old enough to recall when EVERYONE paid reverent homage to "real wood".
Wood is beautiful, in some iterations, but, it's not sacred or anything. Yet, I remember, in the early 70's "real wood" was a wonder. I think because there was so much concrete, steel, and plastic in the 60's.
The Beatles' did a song named, "Norwegian Wood". One of my favorites -- I adored that album. Album: RUBBER SOUL
A lot more of us hate painted wood!😊
Yes, funny how they want it on the floor but can't stand having it anywhere else.
By restoring this almost 100 years old piece of furniture and enabling people to know something about the past and how skilled people have been, you are making the world a better place. Thank you for all your hard work. It's just beautiful.
Wow, thank you! ☺️
ME TOO. Breathless.
I'm in my 70's now, but I remember these sideboards well. My Mother had one similar, it also had a drawer with divisions in it for cutlery. The green baize lining would have been to protect the wood and to stop the cutlery getting scratched . She kept a bottle of sherry in the cupboard underneath, which was only brought out for Christmas or funeral wakes !!!! 😶..... It was a solid piece of furniture . Well done for bringing back this beautiful piece of furniture.
I laughed so hard when Mando knocked that thing into the drawer! He’s not much help, but he’s an adorable supervisor.
I have a slight weakness for art deco pieces. The carved detail on the doors of this piece is interesting.
Chocolate and coffee are ALWAYS a good mix! The gold wax and hardware is just beautiful. I swear I could see that wood breathe a big sigh of relief after the restoration, because it looked smothered under all of that paint.
This is my favourite of your restorations, I love Art Deco and you really brought the piece back to life!
You just got a fantastic shout out from Midwest Magic Cleaning! Another of my favorite UA-camrs. He’s hilarious and also one of the most generous people to ever walk this earth. Give him a shoutout back. Watch out for Moose😂
Mack even mentioned the cats!
Love his channel ❤
I’d not heard of him, but a fan now ❤️
I love Mack's channel!
I know I was watching and then he said this guy who does wood working on "Flipping Drwers" I screamed and said OMGosh I watch Jay and Mando! Been watching even before he got his beautiful cat, he just had the neighborhood cats coming over. I so love watching and listening to Jay he's so calm and soothing. I Had found "Flipping Drawers" long before I found Mack at "Midwest Magic Cleaning" Another one I just found, she may not be for everyone, but she is "Vivian Tries", she does the Dollar Tree dupes to Brand stores and sees if they are better or worse.
I'm 75, and I remember when good furniture looked like this. You are a wonder.
Thank you 🤩 I love Art deco
Ah, yes, I do too. I'm 71. Looks like some of my grandparents and great-aunts + uncles, plus nice hotels. ❤
Oh, no! It's the oldies bloc, here. I'm 75, too. But hey, this ugly buffet turned into a stunning piece; it was hard to believe how anyone could pull off such a transformation. Oh, and the humor? ---priceless, especially the orbital sanding section. Thanks for such a wonderful video. All of them.
Seeing Mondo & Hugo playing in the background is the cutest thing ever!
As always they steal the spotlight. 😊
Beautiful.
Just in case you don’t know, the green “fabric” is baize, used for cutlery drawers (& billiard table tops)! It’s usually wool or cotton, with a felt like finish. It helps stop cutlery (especially silver & silver plated cutlery) from becoming scratched & tarnished. (On billiard tables it helps the balls roll really smoothly). Love watching your videos, turning old & unloved pieces into beautiful & desirable ones. Best wishes from Annie, in Cornwall.🙂🌸
Also used for soundproofing, separating the servants downstairs, from upstairs.
I have read, but not done myself, that a heat gun can soften the adhesive on that green hell.
@@trudyeby464 I have seen someone use a heat gun to fairly easily remove baize, but that baize was still reasonably thick. How well it would work on the thin disintegrating baize I don't know.
Hammock cameo at 18:47 ...
Y'know, if ever you want a week off, a 20 minute video of Mando being a little tinker would be just fine. 🤣
I got a huge chuckle when you said you woke up with the rope and it was just Mondo. He was trying to tell you that he was going to hold you hostage until you gave him some cat treats! The buffet came out fantastic. You work so hard on these projects. We love you forever too Jay! 😊❤😂😸😻
Your voice and demeanor are so calming...
The reenactment of sanding the back board was comedy gold. 😂😂😂😂 I felt that!! Also, i own a lot of books. They make perfect weight if you need to press things down for a bit. Lol
I don't believe there are many people who have enough patience and fortitude to accomplish this transformation. Wow. It's beautiful. Well done. Five 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
“Because I’m fancy AF.” Hilarious!!
😉
😅😅😅
I got there was a joke here, but not being an English-speaker I didn't get the joke itself :'(
Had it been " I'm a fancy MF " maybe I would have understood...
Someone to help me with it ?
@@madamehadomadam2627 "AF" = "as f-ck" So, I'm extremely fancy, or I'm fancy as can be!
@@johnstiteler4088 Of course ! Thank you very much :)
I've been living 5 years in the U.K, but I left the island 9 years ago and my English is wearing off ;)
Mando is absolutely gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️
Don't tell Hugo!!!
You are at the top of my list of favorite UA-cam channels. Love your hard work and ability to take an ugly duckling and transform it into a beautiful swan. Mando and Hugo provide great comic elements to each video. Please keep up the excellent work. ❤❤❤❤❤
Котики это так мило,я очень люблю кошек,недавно потеряла своего любимца,невероятно тяжелая потеря.Плачу каждый день.Смотрю на ваших любимцев и плачу по своему Василию.
Now that the numerous layers of paint are gone and the wood can show its natural beauty, the entire piece can finally breathe again. You gave it new life.
Thank goodness there are restorers such as yourself doing these restorations. This art deco sideboard is a beautiful piece and saved from the scrap heap.
As always you have saved a beautiful piece of furniture. The original builders would be proud of your work. I love seeing Mondo and Hugo playing.
I have a pencil and pad. When a kitty shows up I write the time stamp down. Then I can show my wife all the kitty parts, she loves them.
Mondo is absolutely beautiful.
I love watching your show. Thank You.
Wow, thats cool 😂😻 Thanks for watching
Share the timestamps with us! 🐾
Your sanding antics kill me 😂😂😂😂
The antics were particularly good this time!
Me, too!!😂
Lately I have to rewind several times to watch the process. Why? I start watching Mondo and forget all about the furniture redo. He’s soooo cute and absolutely beautiful.
I'm re-watching this video and had forgotten about the cats and saw your comment and had to laugh because am doing exactly the same thing!
Jay love your cat Mando, he’s a great kitty and loves to play around while you’re working on your project.😂😂😂😂
Thank you ☺️
O. M. G!!!!!! What an enormous job! But so worth it! Trash to treasure, AGAIN! You’re becoming predictable! But we love it. Besides the end result, I love those cats wrestling (not fighting), your attitude to days of sanding (hilarious) Mandy’s “interest” in your work etc. etc. etc. I just love every new video you create and even go back and watch the old ones sometimes! You’re just the best!❤️🦘🇦🇺😊 keep ‘em coming!
My goodness, what a project this one was! As always, being a perfectionist was your strong suit! The piece turned-out beautifully! Sanding the bottom was way beyond what most restoration gurus would do! I hope you can recover some of your time by selling this piece for a nice price! I'm sure it will sell quickly. It is quite a unique Art Noveau piece! Bravo, Jay! Well done! 👍👏❤😍🥰
Art Nouveau, not art deco
@@meldoborel Thanks 👍
Absolutely gorgeous! Another piece saved from the landfill!
I have to say; I think your particular methods and presentation of a wide variety of restoration projects are far and away superior to many many others, I never tire of finding a new Flipping Drawers video, keep up your excellent work with the wood and the cats.
The cats were so much fun today ❤❤❤
I loved the "re-enactment" of you sanding the backboard, especially the last bit with you laying on the ground and all I could see was your arm. That made me laugh outloud. You were successful at showing us that it seemed to last FOREVER! LOL!
With such a long and tedious project, you must have really enjoyed the comic relief that Mando and Hugo brought to you! The results are beautiful. The touch of gold on the flowers is the perfect finishing touch.
They were so cute, going all cracker cat!🤗
I love watching your videos...my brother was a wood worker...self taught he had a passion...he restored as well as built new...
He really had a talent...he was taken by cancer at 43 y.o.
I miss him...
I’m so very sorry you lost your brother. F%CK cancer.❤
I’ll bet you have some lovely memories of him. Think of those times exclusively and he’s still here with you. 🙏🏻🥹❤️
Sorry to hear that 😢 same thing happened to my Mum at almost the same age. I feel your pain 💛
I understand completely. My stepdad died 11 yrs ago and when I watch Jay I feel like my dad is in the room with me. Memories of watching him doing his wood working come flooding back and it puts a smile on my heart and face. Thank you Jay!!!
I love, love, love vintage Waterfall/Art Deco furniture. For all of your complaining, you did a super job resurrecting this fine piece of furniture. Bravo! It will last at least one more lifetime. Keep up the good work.
Your cats were very entertaining today,they made me smile. Such Joy in the afternoon Sun. That sideboard was a huge undertaking. The final results unbelievable superb! The cats are still my favorite. ❤️ ❤.
I think you worked a miracle. The finished dresser looks so different from the painted version.
What a beautiful restoration!! Mondo is the star of the show- so gorgeous and love all his antics. He is a perfect sidekick for you.
Oh god, Jay! Your re-enactment of the monotonous drudgery of sanding was perfect; I cracked up at the incremental slumps, then lost it when there was just your arm still functioning. I love your sense of the ridiculous. More, please :)
Love watching Mando and Hugo play
😺🐾
I love your cats. Your skills are also amazing
You've created a spectacular outcome. Such a difference!
Mondo and Hugo are the best!! Both very handsome, fun little guys with big personalities ❤the project looks amazing as usual!
Every time I think Mando cannot possibly get any cuter... he does. 😍😁 LOVE this buffet - the curves, the color, all of it. I'd gladly have this in my home. Well done!!
BTW - Mack from Midwest Magic Cleaning gave you a shout out. His channel is awesome too. ❤️❤️👊🏻
Yes, I totally loved seeing Mando helping you! Such a playful little boy. LOL @ Him and Hugo playing while you work. At the first sound my black cat is GONE, but my orange tabby just. doesn't. care. This sideboard is a beautiful piece and your patience paid off. Thank you for sharing your work, it's always a joy to watch.
Beautiful! Watching you return these aging ladies to their original beauty is like watching Sam Maloff. Bless you for doing this.
Thank you 🙏
Beautiful results! I love the look of Art Deco furniture. The feline sideshow was quite entertaining 😂
Oh Jay, I am so glad you decided to leave it all the same color. It turned out so beautiful. That's why I love your videos, you always have such great ideas for how a piece should look. By the way, you redid an old wooden box several months ago and it inspired me to redo a trunky father had made many years ago. Thanks again for all of your work and inspiration 🤓
Thanks Jay. It cracked me up when asked us if we thought you should bedazzle it. I could just picture you with your bedazzler and selecting which rhinestone colors and sizes to use. Lol love the chocolate and the little gold flowers. Sounds yummy.
I just might do that one day 😂
Thanks 🙃 Much appreciated
@@Flippingdrawers
😂
У Вас не только руки и сердце золотые, но и потрясающее чувство юмора. С неизменным восхищением к Вам и Вашим работам!❤❤❤
Aprecio mucho su trabajo he aprendido y lo que más me gusta es que salgan en sus videos los gatos 😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊 gracias por su trabajo y enseñarnos
Thank you 🤩
Another Midwest Magic Cleaning member dropping by. I love woodwork and watching someone restore an old piece to it's former glory is so great. Thank you for sharing and you have a new subscriber.
That was pure joy to watch Thankyou Jay. Mando and Hugo there to keep you awake during the sanding. I think the shelf was dislodged by the weight of a sewing machine. It would make a perfect sewing cupboard but I think that of most of your restorations. Not that I am obsessed at all👏👏👏👌👌🧵🪡
Great restoration..you do such good work ❤❤ love Mando and Hugo your wonderful helpers, Mando is so content and happy too.
I love the helper kitty. So cute.
Cheers!! 😻
I hope you plan to keep this one. I let nothing go any longer because I've come to understand that people don't get the time and energy that goes into a craft. I crocheted a bedspread one time and gave it to a friend. After letting the dog turn and dig and claw the middle of the bed, she brought it back to me and asked if I could fix it. You have a glorious result and no one will ever appreciate what you did to create it. That's hurtful. Hang on to it.
If I make something for anyone, I never want to see it or find out how they've used it for the reason you've said.
I've made things for a charity craft stall before, and they treat it like a second-hand sale.
Love the unique style of this piece of vintage furniture. You seem to find the best of the vintage designs. Also, I am glad you used the same hardware...it adds value to the finished piece. Nice job!
Mando is such a good supervisor. Love him!
The kitty antics takes what would already be a fun video to the next level. Thank you for doing what you do and sharing your work and your adorable coworkers.
Восхищаюсь вашим умением найти достойную вещь и мастерством сделать из нее шедевр.
Thank you ☺️
Sorry missed some as I was watching the cats play! Great job
It literally went from trash to treasure, thank you for restoring this piece of furniture to its former glory.
Stunning results as usual. Your kitty and his playmate are such charming photobombers.
Looks like that was a productive supurrvisor meeting going on in the background... i'll show myself out now. 🐈🐈⬛🤣
WOW!!!
I am a devoted Art Deco fan... & this is one of the richest refinishing projects have ever seen!
Collecting & refinishing Art Deco pieces for 40 years for my own home.. I UNDERSTAND that it took so long!
The greatest refinishing challenges to this furniture era ... are the very features that make it unique: the curved lines, fluted trim, decorative veneers & fabrics incorporated into function of the piece.
It is absolutely magnificent!
Ps So glad you reconditioned the original hardware... nothing contemporary would ever come close!
Blessings to you😊
This turned out absolutely beautiful. Why did this style of furniture ever “go out of style”? It is more of a work of art than mere furniture. You never disappoint, and always do a wonderful job of restoring. Even when it looks hopeless, you manage to pull through and do an amazing job. This couldn’t have looked any better when it was new. Thank you.
Art Deco is not usually my vibe, but you restored this one to probably beyond it's original glory. You really knocked it out of the park!!
Thank you so much!
I love watching your two kitties play in the background. ❤
Mando is such a handsome man. I really enjoy your work. I was the proud owner of a waterfall bedroom set, gifted by my uncle. I am always pleased with how your 1920-1940's era projects turn out. And yes, you are fancy AF! Thank you!
The cats are so cute…the restoration is perfect!😮😮😮
Wow! Although I can tell this wasn't exactly a labor of love, the end result is stunning!! I loved watching your beautiful cats playing together, thank you!!
I love the "bling" accents. They make the piece unique. Also, I am always amazed at how you touch every surface to it's beautiful restoration.
From a piece of junk to a stunning beauty. Thank you for all you do. Most enjoyable to watch. Mando is so adorable.
You are magical!! I love your videos. The care you take! The beautiful choices! So relaxing and rewarding!❤
Glad you enjoy it!
@4:24 the cat stops dead when you said you used wine vinegar! Great videos, really learning a lot.
I gotta tell you that turned out amazing. Beautiful. Would love to have it in my home. BTW, mondo is so stinking cute. Love him too
You do some really great work,but I got to tell you that I have never seen a more beautiful cat ....What a treasure it is....be safe and keep your work coming.......ChefJack....CEC CHS FAM....(etc.etc.etc.)..
That is a real Makeover !!! From a ugly painted piece to a more than beautiful Sideboard ! You did this furniture right to bring it back to its original and it make such a great different s ! Nice to work outside but when it is taken so long time to get it right you most be motivated to keep going ! Luckily Mando and Hugo where their to support you !! Nice video and you so much for sharing !
I love the humor while sanding!😅😅😂😂 I'm glad you find the time to be entertaining!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😄
Hi Jay! I say this every time but it's true..."Everything you touch turns to gold"!! That piece was a lot of work but wow, was it worth it!! Gorgeous 💜❤
Wow, thank you!
@@Flippingdrawers You're so welcome!
Cats are experts at "Hinder work". 😄 Beautiful job. I love Art Deco!
Your attention to detail is wonderful. What a majestic result. I would be proud to own this piece. Love the cats... Hero.
That was amazing. That hard wax oil is a gorgeous finish. Talk about a restoration. One has to see it to believe it. Who is the neighbor cat that loves to spar with Mando? Is that Rufus or Theo? They are so much fun to watch. Mando is a happy go lucky boy. How could you do a piece of furniture veneer and stain and finish to look like Mando's coat? He is so beautiful.
Yes, it took three thousand years( if Mandoo had helped, it would have been only two thousand years, shame on you, Mandoo.....), but it was ab-so-lu-te-ly worth it. I am am really speechless. It´s amazing, stunnig, wonderful!
Wow. WOW! What a glorious result. I know it took a disproportionate amount of work, but it is truly gorgeous. Love your dedication, patience, attention to detail, and sense of humor. You are funny AF. But your cats playing in the background stole the show, lol. Love them too.
Thank you! Cheers!😻
Mando is gorgeous!
LOL @ the Kitty WWE activity in the yard! Too cute!
That was sure a ton of fussy work, but it came out beautiful!
Thanks so much!😊😺
The Cat is adorable, the work is excellent, 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is amazing well done, I enjoyed this video an your humour😂 an of course, the cats 🐈 😻
You do such thorough work. Anybody can be confident buying from you that the furniture has been cleaned and restored properly, not just the parts that show from the front. There are so many people on UA-cam who don't bother. You put them to shame.
I'd certainly be happy to buy from you and know I'd be getting good value for money
Wow! ❤ I am never going to get tired of watching your restorations. There is something so satisfying about watching painted trash being restored to treasure. This piece is really beautiful and well worth the time you spent on it. What a treasure!
I do love seeing Mondo being a lively kitty. Thanks for leaving that in. :)
My Lord, what a giant Job of yours. This Buffett looks sooo unbelievebel beautiful! After you took care of it.
Jay, this piece is beautiful❗️I love the brown stain color inside & out. You brought out the glamour or the doors & curved design.
I may have watched this video before, but so wonderful to view, your skill & Mondo & your charm-delightful. Thank you 🌿
It turned out beautifully! I really enjoyed your cats playing with each other!
Another fantastic restoration! And wonderful to see so much of Mando. What a beautiful kitten!
Wow! Absolutely stunning result - you're very talented (and patient!), I love the sanded transformation before you decide the finish. It looks so fresh. Then you transform the piece again!
My neighbour has a young Bengal like yours that stalks my indoor cat through the windows of my house, upstairs too - climbs on my conservatory roof. They fight like crazy through the windows. My kitty just won't go outside, not interested even if the door's left open. Seems to think being in the teeny conservatory is 'playing out'. 😂
Sending another shout out from Midwest Magic Cleaning.
Mandi is so beautiful. I love his markings and the rich colors he is blessed with. ❤ 🐱 !!
Mando is the most gorgeous cat - wonderful markings in his beautiful coat, and he is such fun when he plays around fighting with Hugo. Always happy to see him!
Woweee beautiful! From junk to treasure, great job! ❤
Nice to see Mando help you clean out the cabinet. Mando is a cute cat.
