Stunning Transformation: Art Deco Bar Cabinet Makeover and Furniture Challenge

Published 2024-07-20
Welcome to Ivy Lane Interiors. I have been waiting for two years to flip this Art Deco bar cabinet! A few times a year, I host a furniture flipping challenge over on Instagram.

  • Lisa, you have outdone yourself. Bravo! And I appreciate that you take the time to film the work and process and you add all of those links to all of the products you used in the description here. No doubt that takes a ton of time. God bless you and THANK YOU for this inspiration!
  • I think this might be my favourite piece you’ve done so far! First of all, that wood grain is out of this world, just stunning. Your choices with where the paint went and colour are perfection and that drawer paper just takes it to whole other level. I couldn’t love this piece more! I personally think when you consider that this is a vintage piece that has been restored and artistically modernized to this level you shouldn’t have any trouble getting 4K for this-Remember we might not be people who pay 4K for furniture but there are PLENTY of folks out there that do. And this piece would be worth every cent. You really have outdone yourself on this one, Lisa! 🤩✨
  • Beautiful job. I do like when you show the missteps that occurred and how you fixed them, that is life. I do like the color mix of blue & black ❤
  • ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!!! BREATHTAKING!!!!! The hardware are BEAUTIFUL!!!!! The painted areas are emphasizing the beauty of the structure of this piece!
  • Wow, wow, wow Lisa!! This looks STUNNING!! 🎉 This does look like an English drinks cabinet similar to ones you would find here. I’m about to start working on one where the wood grain looks like a woman with flowing hair!! This one really did test you, but you totally smashed it, and I truly believe mistakes are just opportunities to learn, even though they are frustrating as hell! 😂😊
  • Absolutely stunning! You really did a fantastic job on your piece. When you were showing pictures of all the other pieces I was blown away. So many beautiful designs. I think these challenges are awesome!
  • @jaaustin500
    Holy crap - what a job! So glad it turned out in the end! Beautiful!
  • Wow!!! I especially appreciate the hearts within the book matched veneer - it’s like “I love liquor” 😅
  • @cathyluff4129
    Most beautiful piece you’ve ever done! The wood is beautiful and the wallpaper was genius. So sorry you had so many setbacks but the end result was worth it.
  • This is absolutely amazing ❤ the colour, the wallpaper and you showing and sharing everything with us, the what went wrong, the how to remedy it and explaining the different ways to fix these problems, so thank you ❤
  • I am loving this project, I think the learning curve is great to see. We all know that some projects have a bigger curve than others. I just picked up a furniture piece that I’m turning into a Bar Cabinet,, wish me luck. I’ll shoot you a before and after. Keep the faith darlin, we all have theses days 😂
  • That wood is so pretty. Or, I guess I should say veneer. You outdid yourself on this one. She is STUNNING! I could see her going for $2000.
  • @Sharon-bo2se
    Beautiful grain and colour on the wood. I would put mirror at the back to bring light back into a dark hole and showcase the glassware.
  • Hello Lisa. You worked your tail off on this piece. It is a stunning piece. Well done!!🥰🥰🥰
  • @designabeej
    I love art deco things and you’ve done this piece justice, it looks magnificent 🤩🤩🤩 & $2K is the right price 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
  • @wesleyc1694
