I found this dresser on the side of the road on my way to get some food. It looked sad so I took it home and completely transformed it to a beautiful Mid century Modern dresser with a brass inlay.

The legs and handles are such a sympathetic match for the era. Utterly fab
For something you found on the side of the road you turned it into a Masterpiece!!!
If this was a musical concert, it would have received a standing ovation… or two! Unbelievably beautiful, such skill! Thank you, it was a delight to watch!
I love this channel. He doesn’t just slap paint on a project but repairs and restores and takes you along with him on the way. Wonderful!
Awesome 🤩 thanks
I can hear the dresser saying thank you.
It turned out so beautiful, the wood seems so alive again.
Thank you! Gladys😊 I love the result
How do you know? It may have said "Ugh, not again 🥴" 🤣🤣
I’d like to say I’m surprised with how this turned out given the beginning. But let’s be real, Jay, the day you don’t finish with something incredible is the day I’ll be surprised. Beautifully done.
ha ha ha that's an awesome comment Taryn, thank you ;-)
So beautiful!
true !
I agree 💯%!
Такие ножки сюда не подходят ! Извините,вообще не подходят
You are wizard, magician, your hands are golden!
That is a War time 'UTILITY' Dressing Table made between 1941 - 1951. The CC 41 stands for 'Civilian Clothing', and the 41 denotes the date. Info from a book about UTILITY Furniture and Fashion. You made a great job of it and it's good to see it live on for many more years. Well done 🙂
The mark on the wood is called a "Utility Mark". It appears on a lot of items produced in the UK during the 1940s. During WWII, imported materials were limited and only used to manufacture items that were most needed. First time I came across it was on some woollen underwear(!) but my parents were both children during the war, so they were able to tell me what it meant. Your chest of drawers manufacturer must have been already stocked up on mahogany before the shortages of imported materials!
And im here thinking that was Pac-Man LOL
@@raultineo772 me too!!!
@@raultineo772 me too! 😊
Me too. 😆
Yes! I did a deep dive on this when I found this makers mark/logo on original fabric on an antique Birchcraft High Wycombe chair.
The before and after pictures are always so shocking when a good job has been done. What an amazing transformation!
Thank you so much!
Mahogany + beeswax = Celebration!! Gosh, the colours and depth of colour in that wood has me drooling! It's gorgeous. And the dovetail joints of the drawers are a lovely feature in the contrasting woods. You made so many good decisions here, to make the most of the materials at hand to sort out issues and problems... I've not seen anyone do that before and I'm well impressed. A lovely, lovely job. 🤓👍👍👏👏👏👍👍🤓
I cannot stop staring at the end results. Oh my Lord. This turned out so absolutely stunning. Your attention to detail to not just the outside appearance, but inside too is so wonderful to see. You are truly an artist and a savior for bringing life back to these pieces.
Thank you so much!
@@Flippingdrawers and did I notice a contrast in coloring on the dovetails on the drawers? So beautiful. Impeccable work.
Interesting about the CC41 utility mark- I Wiki'd it and read about it. So you can date your dresser to between 1941 and 1951.
It's just lovely, thanks for saving it.
You are very welcome and yes, I didn’t know it was a thing until I came across this dresser. Learned something new☺️
I thought it was Pac-Man! 🤣
@@jillynnrekowski6176 , same here, lol!
This is a limited edition of one. Beautiful! I especially like that you clean, sand and wax EVERY surface of the items.
Thank you ☺️ and that’s the only way to do it in my opinion. That’s how I’d like someone to sell it to me.
80 year old furniture restored for next 100 years....les go sir!!! This is true conservation of earth!
I love seeing people find joy in restoring things most people would dismiss as unsalvageable; especially nowadays when everything is treated as disposable
Love your perfectionism! You are dealing with an inside and the back of the dresser, a lot of youtube furniture restorators dont do that cuz nobody will see that. Love youre attention to the details. That was awesome!
Thank you ! Much appreciated
Your Meticulous attention to detail sets the standard for furniture restoration.
🥰 thanks
That mahogany is super beautiful. I'm glad the people who had it before you had painted it, because then it stayed at the side of the road, waiting for you to do your Magic!
I love that the little knight follows you around in your videos.
Well, I must say, you did luck out in finding a piece of solid Mahogany. But this piece was just waiting to be discovered by you. You brought her back to her glory days and she can once again be the beauty that she was originally.. all of your pieces are works of art. Magnificent!!!
Thank you so much Kathleen 🙏 you are very kind
Such a beautiful piece, all that mahogany would have gone to the tip, without a second glance. Great video as always.
Thank you very much!
I like stains on old furniture. They give it a character
Who would have thought that piece of coal could be turned into a diamond! Sooo beautiful!
When you said it was solid mahogany, I thought "And they painted it?" After you sanded the top,I noticed how pretty the grain was. Then you brushed on the oxalic acid, which really made that grain pop, and I couldn't wait to see the finished piece. It was well worth the wait. Simply stunning.
Thank you 🙏
How you wash the oxalic acid
I watch a lot of these restorations, and I'm confident to say that you are one with impeccable taste and who respects a quality timber grain. The care taken inside the draws is commonly overlooked, however you took as much care for the inside as you did the outside. That brass inlay strip was a phenomenal touch.
Thank you 🙏 that’s very kind
Can’t believe that beautiful wood piece was hiding under all that blue paint and scratches 🥰
I never comment, but this time, I couldn’t hold back! This piece turned out absolutely stunning! I’d be honored to have it in my home! I learned so much watching you, and I look forward to more videos!
Thank you ☺️ you’re very kind
Absolutely beautiful
The results of this restoration/flip almost brought tears to my eyes! Beautiful work and the addition of the brass inlay and legs were the perfect finishing touches.
Thank you Laura! 🥰
This is so gorgeous😍😍. I can't believe that was solid mahogany under those drawers. The dovetails with the mahogany contrast were just so good. The little trim details you added to the top reusing the bottom - on point. The pop of brass on the sides with the black to contrast. I just love this piece. Its so good Jay!
Thanks Emily 🥰 I agree, this is just so beautiful. Can’t believe someone painted it that hideous colour, hope they see this video 😂
You gave an unloved piece of furniture of more than 70 years old, left by the roadside a new lease of life. If it could speak it would say; thank you thank you thank you 😄
I was thrilled to hear that the drawers were made from mahogany. They cleaned up very well with all of your hard work. Another saved piece of furniture that you will enjoy for many years. Brilliantly done!! 🙂
Wow, what a transformation😄. You have my vote to win the ugly duckling competition.
;-) thanks Denise!
I'm not surprised you want to keep this one..the finishing details are superb!
Thanks Gina 👌
What an amazing flip! Thank you for saving this ugly 🦆ling from the landfill, and turn it into a beautiful 🦢!
For real, this furniture breathes again.
Simply stunning, I can't believe it's the same dressing. The final result is gorgeous any one of us would love to have it in our home.
🤗🥰🙏
This turned out beautifully
You have turned this into a treasure
Some long gone woodworker lives again with his labor acknowledged,the light shining upon him and his creation. What could be better company as you have this in your home. Thank you.
Это потрясающе! Разглядеть под этой ужасной бирюзовой краской такую красоту может только мастер. Браво!!!
One of the most beautiful transformation that I’ve ever seen…gorgeous wood, nice paint and somptuous metallic trim detail. You’re a pro. Thank you for sharing your work, skills and passion with us
Almost a million views! A yeay later and its new to me. Glad i watched.
Who would have thought? Turned out beautiful! Modern and chic! 😅
The 'CC' mark was put on furniture produced in UK during and after ww2 when wood was scarce. As I understand they rationed what furniture was made due to ensure they maximised raw materials. Pieces with the CC mark were always of good construction and sold at reasonable price. I understand after the war you could only by a piece of furniture if you were in definite need. Thanks for your great videos - from Birmingham England🇬🇧
that is correct ;-)
Beautiful transformation! A real ugly duckling to a lovely swan!! Congratulations.
Thank you Marie !
You rebuild the furniture better than it was before. I love that!
Beautiful flip! Amazing you can turn a piece of junk into a beautiful masterpiece!
Absolutely love the outcome!! This is a lot more than just a simple flip, so makes sense that you would keep it. Plus it’s too beautiful to sell 🥰
( loved the mirror trick by the way )
Yes! Thank you!
Your work is always top notch. I learn a lot by watching you.
I appreciate that!
I like that you spend the time to restore beautiful wood so often. Painting can be very pretty and sometimes when the wood is too damaged it just makes sense, but sometimes it's just an abomination to paint beautiful wooden furniture pieces.
Wow! The dresser came out gorgeous!
O M G!!🤯🤯🤯 Not that I had any doubt in your transformation abilities, but what incredible wood grain to find under that paint too!! Then the brass inlay took it to a whole new level (and your new tool is really cool)!! Amazing transformation, Jay! She is a showstopper!💜 #uglyducklingchallenge
Thank you Ashley! That is very kind of you
This is so beautiful you did a fabulous job on this piece
🤗 I do love it 🤩
Finally, an actual restoration, as opposed to someone just painting over old furniture. This is like the reversal of one of "those" videos.
Lol thanks ☺️
Such an amazing transformation. It’s so beautiful. Nice job
Your dresser turned out beautifully!!! 😍
Absolutely love what you've done here, and that final touch of the brass strip dividing the painted side and the mahogany was genius.
What beauty was hidden under all that paint! It just needed you to bring it back! Amazing job! ❤
Holy Moly! No words! It’s a happy lil blue green dresser now. ! I am sure you are in love with having her!!!
Thank you, it went to a new happy owner
Using your drill with sandpaper on those legs was genius!! You always have such unique approaches to problems and challenges. So inspiring!
Thanks Sharon. Much appreciated
This turned out absolutely stunning! So glad you were able to save it and make it gorgeous again.!
Yay🤗 I agree. I love it Thank you 🙏
Marvelous transformation, well-done! It's so interesting thank you for letting us see your work.😊
Who knew that beautiful mahogany was under that horrible paint? You did. The dresser is gorgeous. Great job 👏🏽 Thank you for sharing.
Как хорошо, что есть люди, которые дают вторую жизнь вещам!!!
Браво!
Красивая вещь получилась!!!
С уважением, Светлана.
Thank you ☺️
What a stunner this turned out to be! From blue paint, to a beautiful mahogany dresser. Love the brass touch on the sides!
Thank you so much!
You really found the diamond in a piece of coal with this project! The wood is so beautiful, and the brass accents are just perfect.
Glad you like it
Bonus - satisfying paint scraping ASMR!
I enjoyed seeing your tools and how you use them no end. Your technical and creative skills are a delight. You picked an excellent ugly duckling and turned it into a swan
On a personal level, you couldn’t pay me to take that particular swan home, but that’s just an aesthetic preference.
I’ll be back to enjoy more of your offerings
Absolutely stunning results from a trashed piece of old furniture,,,,,it’s so beautiful,,,a true save for these old antique pieces,,,,just a great job
Thanks so much Dodd 😊 Im in love with this one
It is a testament to your abilities that you make turning a turd into a treasure look so easy! Gorgeous piece!
Lol thank you 😊
The beauty of the drawers with their dovetail joining is an achievement in itself! Compliments for this beautiful restauration... rather a re-creation!
Attention to detail is incredible. The interior of the drawers is beautiful! I watch a lot of furniture restorations (like every night to relax) but this one blows me away.
Thank you 😊
This turned out stunning! Not that I had any doubt, your work is always amazing Karol! The brass inlay is the cherry on top. Great save!
🥰 Thanks Jennifer! you're too kind
An incredible transformation! 😮
Isn’t that something!! Beautiful ❤
Wow, it’s a stunning little dresser. I always learn something new with your videos.
Glad you like it Gillian 😉 and you’re welcome
Every one of your projects seems to be more gorgeous than the one before. Love watching you bring out the natural beauty of wood. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😊
Ha ha I guess I’m learning something 😂 thank you Donna 👍
The drill trick to sand the legs 👏👏👏
I'm so glad it found you.
Just WOW. What can I say, probably the most amazing make over I've ever seen, and I watch a LOT of furniture DIY refurbishment videos. Astounding.
That is very kind ;-) Thank you C !
It makes me so happy to see a great piece like that brought back from the brink. I can’t help but think that could have been someone’s wedding present back in the day and you breathed a new chapter of life into it. Agreed with someone else who commented that the dresser thanks you for your effort. I’m glad it was you who found it.
That’s very kind. Thank you ☺️
Amazing work! The brass Olay was brilliant and you are a good teacher.
Stunning! This is the first time in your videos that I've seen you use paint, but you did it so tastefully. Nothing is more beautiful than natural woodgrain, though.
What a lovely outcome!
Just…wow! It almost looked like a painted metal drawer set in the beginning. Exquisite work and I especially love that you brought this old gem back to life and it didn’t end up in a land fill. So beautiful!
Thank you Robin
I think you're a miracle worker ☺️. Never expected this piece to be so pretty 😍
Painting a piece like this should be only done as a last resort. That is a beautiful piece, nicely restored! Take care of you take in making these pieces look really the best they can, makes me wish that I could come back as a piece of furniture.
Excellent craftmanship! You did a beautiful job there!
Thanks Deb 😉
Your finished results are always AMAZING!! And love the Pacman art find during the process (6:11) too!
Actually, a quick google search finds that it says "CC41". It stands for "Controlled Commodity 1941".

I'm sure you feel that that furniture has a soul, but it's suffocated by dirt and bad paint. With your patient, delicate, hard work you're able to give freedom to this trapped soul and your piece of furniture start living again. Thanks for your sensitivity and sense of beauty!
There's a difference between a restoration and a rescue. A rescue doesn't have to be delightful.

The dresser is absolutely beautiful. Saving a gem from the landfill. The dresser was simple and you elevated it to look different. Love it.😍
What a wonderful job. It looks 100% different, and so beautiful!
You can't even tell it is the same bureau! Gorgeous!
Thank you 😊
Wow! I know it is just an inanimate object, but I feel so happy for that dresser’s beautiful makeover- now it can feel proud again.
Thank you ☺️
This ended up completely stunning. The refinished dresser is beautiful. I'm happy this video turned up on my recommend list. I'm going to dig through and have a look at your other work. Thank you.
Awesome. Thank you ☺️
I am so thrilled to find your videos. You are amazing at what you do and how well you explain. Thanks so much
@@debbiewalker2268 thank you ☺️
You won't be disappointed!
I've just discovered you, and I'm so glad to have done so. You are an amazing artist. I would never have dreamed that all of this beauty was just waiting to be revealed. Bravo!
I love how you let the natural colors in the oak drawers come out. I think adding the legs was a beautiful touch. When you said you were going to paint the piece I thought "oh no!" But after seeing why and how you kept the beautiful wood in the front I was happy with the finished piece.
Omg… the drill trick for sanding the legs. So cool.
