I don’t know what the person was thinking when they painted that dresser, but you have brought it back to its natural glory. Thank you.
😀❤️👍
Hi David, this piece of furniture was just as ugly as Jay's, you did an amazing job on it. I wish people would stop ruining beautiful old furniture. You have restored it back to it's original glory, thank you for that....Take care....cheers !!! 🍁 🍁
So pleased you liked the end result 😀😀
Even though you find it distasteful to paint it,the most important thing is to do what you love in your home so there are no rules! David has a skill to change it back to its former glory❤
I think these pieces get wrecked before they come back into fashion. I remember the second-hand shops being full of MCM for peanuts. Students bought them for flats and painted them.
People are allowed to do with their furniture as they want. If it offends you, the offer to buy it from them and restore it.
Loved the final result
Absolutely beautiful job. I am so sad that Transcend Furniture Design is not in this competition. Her work is absolutely stunning.
Thank you so much! I agree with you but unfortunately Angie had other commitments at the time but i'm sure she'll be part of the next one 😃👍
Came for the Cork loving Daisy and stayed for the restoration. XD
Aww... poor Daisy. I hope that she gets better soon.
😀🐶❤️
The work you do goes beyond restoration, and how to bring to life something that has been forgotten in time. Congratulations on the beautiful work and keep it up. A hug straight from Brazil
😀❤️❤️
Amaizing. Now, a beautiful dresser, fit for any home.
Thank you! 😊
David, thanks for the beautiful restoration! That tangerine monster was frightening. 💕
Thanks Carla 😂❤️
It was no furniture, it was a box on stilts. You transformed it back to furniture again! Great work! ❤
Thanks ❤️
Just a beautiful restoration, back to the original condition…..only better!
Thanks so much 😀
Love the transformation!
Thanks 😀😀
This turned out magnificent...just the way it was originally intended to be. Beautiful, beautiful job, David.
Thanks Nancy 😀😀
The previous owner would be SHOCKED! Fantastic work.
Thats very kind, thanks 😃👍
I wonder if the person or persons who butchered this beauty will ever watch this and squirm in embarrassment!!😂!!
Not my style but beautifully restored.
Thanks 😀👍
I came here as recommended by your friend at Flipping Drawers, and very glad I did. Lovely work.
Thank you so much and welcome to my channel 😀
I love your cheeky sense of humor; your face tells the whole story! The cow hides 🐄 w/ bright tangerine was irresistible! TY for a beautiful restoration.
hahahaha I have a rubbish Poker face. Thanks so much for your support 😃❤️
I never wkukd have guessed the lovely veneer hidden under that road construction orange color. Excellent job restoring this piece David! Very thoughtful adding the shelf bracket!
Hi Emily, I was very lucky to find that underneath. Watched yours this morning and you did an amazing job 😀👍
Fantastic 🎉❤
😀❤️
In general I do not like this style, but this is beautiful. Looks almost modern. It still looks orange, but goes well with your floor. Have you ever used household bleach? Also any stain that says "ash" will tone down the orange. I will sometimes tint my first topcoat with the opposite of orange which is blue. TINT as in very faintly. This does wonders and not detectable.
Thank you and thanks for the tips on colouring 👍👍😀😀
You definitely saved that piece from the trash and made it look spectacular!
Wow, thank you!😀
The wood grain came out beautifully. I don't understand why it was painted in the first place, unless it was used in a child's room. Fabulous job David 😍
Thanks Dee 😀❤️
Absolutely stunning! Love this dresser and the beautiful job you did repairing it!
Thank you so much!😀😀
This was so beautiful, I had to subscribe! Amazing!!!
Thanks and welcome to my channel 😀❤️
This is simply amazing!! I bet the kid who had the "before" version in their bedroom had horrible nightmares...LOL
I want Jays piece and this one too!!! Gorgeous!
hahahaha I bet they did. I loved what Jay did to his piece too 😃❤️
Hard to believe someone out there thought this design out and had it out on display. 😮
🤣🤣👍
BEAUTIFUL work. Unusual piece. I liked the silver, but paint on hardware, to me looks fake AF, and looks like... well, paint. Besides, some of the hardware could have been some other metal. May I suggest that really cheap fake gold leaf? This at first looks very shiny, but if you wait before covering the with the no tarnish varnish, it does look close to brass. Or you could expose it to ammonia, and that will age it fast, as in within minutes. Also, if a magnet won't stick to the hardware, it probably is solid brass. The gold leaf is hard to do at first, but you will get good at it, fast. It goes from a shine to a sheen. Thanks and subscribed and liked.
You don't sound like London, maybe Wales?
Thanks for the tips. I’m from Manchester 😀👍
''Tangerine dream''...? No... it was a Dalmatian abomination! And... painting wood should be a crime!!
🤣👍
Tangerine dream?? More like a cheetah nightmare! Even Daisy had words about this mess. You are really remarkable, David. Well done, you!
You’re very kind Molly, thanks so much 😀🐶❤️
Wow! You never know what's UNDERNEATH a piece...... Great Job!
I was very lucky with this hidden beauty 😀👍
Great lesson on how to convert Early Duct Tape to Mid Century Modern! Nice restoration; looking forward to your other projects.
😂"Early Duct Tape..." too funny
When in doubt.....get the Duct Tape out!! 🤣🤣👍
Someone certainly had fun going at it with a paintbrush! I suspect that this piece was in a little boy’s nursery. You did a fantastic job restoring it!
Thanks very much 😃😃
You are not only brilliant, but a tough act to follow! I have learned so much from you. I have a floor model radio from the 40's that belonged to my grandmother that I would to have the talent to restore. I also have a cedar lined wardrobe and a vanity, with the original mirror attached, that belonged to my great grandmother's sister. She purchased them when she got married in the 1910's and then gave it to my mother when she got married in 1952. Those pieces frighten me the most. I really can't afford a pro, but...I'm gaining knowledge and courage from watching you. I also have a buffet and server which my mom bought circ 1966. I think they may be impossible to do well. All the best to you. Your work is truly appreciated!
Wow, that’s a lovely thing to say thank you. It sounds like you have a great stash of beautiful furniture and you can definitely transform them. The art is really to just take your time, use the right tools and materials for the job and enjoy it. Good luck in your restoration journey and thanks again for your kind words 😀😀
Just have to say I've watched all the videos in the MCM challenge and in my humble opinion yours and Jay's were possibly the two that shone out the most
That’s very kind, thank you 😀😀👍
You have the patience of a saint. I love your attention to detail and your ability to make a silk purse out of a sows ear.😂😂😂
My wife might disagree with that 🤣 but thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it 😃😃
Unbelievable! I love that you put the mirror back on for the original look.
😃❤️
That's cool you all participate in this challenge. The piece looks fabulous!
It was good fun doing the challenge 😀😀
Another fantastic restoration David. The wood grain is gorgeous on this dresser. I cannot imagine anyone painting it orange. Now it’s beautiful again.
Thanks so much Sibylle 😀❤️
From something that was hideous to something truly beautiful! Cheers! Ken from Alabama USA
Thank you very much!😀😀
Stunning 😍 I will never understand why people paint beautiful pieces of antique furniture believing they are modernizing them, but thank you for restoring this piece to its former beauty!!
😀❤️
Hello. I love how you divide up the tasks with the labelled chapters. It was nice seeing you live this afternoon with Jay. The cabinet turned out beautifully.
Thanks so much, your feedback on my video format is really helpful 😀❤️
Turned out great. Love the reveal photos with all the up close details, but please give us more views of the piece as a whole, too. Thanks!
😀👍
Astounding rescue! Can't decide if your's or Jay's was uglier, but both have been saved from furniture Hell by two amazing restorers. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed Bob 😃👍👍
Oh poor little princess Daisy ❤. I bet she gets all the cork stoppers to feel better😂
She’s being spoiled rotten and is feeling much better now. Thanks 😀🐶❤️
Hard to believe this is the same piece it’s turned out great 👍🇬🇧❤️😁
Thanks so much 😊
Great job David! I enjoyed doing this challenge with you all! 🎉
Thanks Anders, Its been a blast buddy 😃👍
Dear Daisy, Skipper and Rudy, two standard poodles from Texas, send you wishes for a complete and speedy recovery!
It was a toss up between yours and jays and his just beat yours 😢
That’s fair 😀❤️
Daisy says hi to Rudy and Skipper 🐶🐶🐶❤️
Beautiful! And I absolutely adore the “Daisy Intermissions”!! ❤
Daisy Waisy Woo!!!
🐶❤️
Thanks so much, Daisy loves her starring roles 😂😂🐶❤️
Made a sow’s ear into a silk purse. 👏👏👏 It’s beautiful.
Thats very kind, thanks 😃😃
Wow! That was a HUGE transformation! Fabulous job.
Thanks so much! 😊
It is hard to see the end result when it was so ugly. Great job I love the mirror you added. Color is beautiful
When staging a piece it is always better to go asymmetrical, rather than symmetrical. It looks more natural and draws the eye better. Brilliant work on the restoration!!
😀👍
Looks great as a sideboard - it would make a room lighter and look bigger too with that mirror. Great job making that piece go from kitschy to sophisticated! Bravo for the added support post on top, nobody would ever know it wasn't originally there.
Thank you! 😊
Если бы можно было, поставила бы 1000 лайков! Это потрясающе красиво и профессионально!
That’s very kind of you, thanks so much 😀😀
Yippee for poor surface prep before painting!😂
I was very lucky they did a bad job of painting it 😂😂😂
David, It is gorgeous! The wax brought out the beautiful wood & grain-it glows. Thank you for your artistry.
I loved the final”glow” too 😀😀
Sometimes I wonder about peoples' tastes and aesthetics in furniture, like what kind of décor would someone have to have to make this work? The restoration turn out lovely! It looks like such a high end, high quality piece now.
Maybe Lime green walls?! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks so much, glad you liked the end result 😃😃
Such a stunning transformation, David! That was quite a bit of orange to get rid of, and sure enough, there was a beauty underneath. The gold hardware was spot on; chrome would have not only been wrong time period, but just plain tacky. Sending big snuggles for Daisy and her sore foot. I'm glad she got a trip to the doggie-doctor and hope she'll be doing her wiggles and dances the next time we see her. Thank you for a real knock-out piece of furniture. It's going to be quite an asset for its new home. Cheers from Oklahoma!!!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment as always. Daisy is feeling much better now and getting back to her cheeky self 😀🐶❤️
You did a beautiful job on this one! I hope Daisy feels back to her old self soon.
Thanks so much, Daisy is feeling much better thanks 😀🐶👍
Brave and bold choice. What’s up with people with cows and bricks? Job well done. Congratulations
Not my style but I guess somebody loved it once 😂😂😂
Bricks, lol. That was awful too. 😂
Cowabunga man--I am udderly amazed at the transformation! You gave this poor piece an entirely fresh mooood.🐄
I’m loving what you did there 😂😂😂 Thanks so much 😀👍
That color is called "former president orange". Awesome restoration!
Mr Trump 😂😂😂👍
Really nice. Of course the tangerine beauty was probably something for a little kids room and I'm sure that he or she loved it.
Thanks, I know somebody would have loved it before. I actually like people doing things to their furniture, its always nice to see somebody being creative 😃👍
Wow, they made such neat quality furniture in that era. So cool.
😀👍
thank you for saving that poor dresser! love the color!!
😀❤️
You would never have any idea of it’s sordid past with the way it looks now - that’s excellent work! ✨
Thank you so much!😃
Crikey! That was a right Carnaby Street Nightmare! Thanks so much for restoring it. I'm looking forward to what the other's are doing. Love these challenges😃
It was rather Bold 😂😂
Oh wow! I don’t remember your name, but that’s a beautiful piece of furniture! As it stands so far, you & Jay are in a dead heat 😊
11 more videos to watch 😮
Thanks so much Im glad you enjoyed it. I’m David 😀😀
Cannot believe this is the same piece. It is beautiful.
Thanks very much 😀😀
Gorgeous piece of furniture! Tremendous job, David! And of course, lovely Daisey- hope she gets well soon. Hope you win the challenge!
Thanks so much Nancy, Daisy is doing much better and back to her cheeky self 😀🐶❤️
Great job David. I love how meticulous you are in your methods and process. Restoration was spot on, detailed and very thorough. Enjoyed every bit of the video. Being an IT person I know how much effort goes in making these videos and content. Well done to all the people who have taken part in the challenge.. ❤
Thanks so much for your appreciation of my work and also the work that goes into creating these videos. I’m certainly not from IT 😂 but I do my best with the limited editing skills I have 😀👍👍
Do we really have to say which is best? Every one I’ve seen so far is stunning.
Hi Molly, no need to judge your favourite it was just for fun and we all hoped it would be something new for you all. I’ve watched them all and loved every one 😀👍❤️
Im speechless at that before paint job. What a lovely rescue!
It was rather bright 😂😂
WOW, David this turned out absolutely beautiful!! Big smooch to sweet Daisy!
Thanks so much Kim 😀🐶❤️
Wow! I was sure that orange paint and paper was covering a total disaster of a piece but what a surprise! The piece is gorgeous and I’m sure it’s some sort of optical illusion but it even looks larger all finished.
As usual, another amazing transformation.
I was extremely lucky the wood was in good shape under that paint 😀👍👍
Night and day. The before is hideous and with your talen and expertise, the after is simply gorgeous. I really like that you add the extra support so that the mirror is an option, not a support necessity.
That’s really kind, thank you 😀❤️
Мое уважение и почтение МАСТЕРУ!
You’re very kind, thanks so much 👍
Es ist ein sehr schönes Möbelstück geworden. Ich würde es ohne mit der Wimper zu zucken kaufen.
I wish I shipped to Italy 😀❤️
Looks brilliant. Exactly how I remember the identical,piece my sister had given her when she got married in 1971
Glad you liked it 😀😀
Was wondering in what decade this dresser was produced was thinking late 50s way off 🙃 Thank you for the info
I do believe this gorgeous piece shook from head to tail when you freed it from its tangerine cow prison 😊❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
😀❤️
Something that was fit for fire wood, transformed into a beautiful chic dressing table, marvellous work.
Thanks so much 😀😀
Under that garish orange paint and cowhide paper was a beautiful sideboard. Surprisingly, it was in pretty good shape on the inside of the drawers and the body of it. I love the color stain you choice, and, I love that you choice Gilboy's hard wax oil. Your methodical meticulousness really is a comforting pleasure to watch.
What a great comment, thanks so much for your continued support ❤️
Absolutely brilliant Mr. Clooney! 😎🥃
hahahahaha thanks Matt 👍👍👍👍
Beautiful! I hope this piece finds it's forever home and is taken care of
It sure deserves it. Great job 👏
I hope so too! 😀👍
Absolutely beautiful David, many kisses for Daisy, cheers!!!🥰😘😘😘💕👌👍👍👍
Thanks so much Frances 😃🐶❤️
Simple but stunning. Love the wood grain and hardware on this unusual MCM piece.
Thank you very much!😀
Wow, you transformed that into a stunning piece of furniture David. Love your attention to detail, you did a brilliant job!
Thanks Cole. I loved your phone table resto too. Ive seen a few of these for sale but never thought of doing one, I may think again 😃👍👍👍
That turned out beautifully! Almost as beautiful as Miss Daisy❤
🤣😃🐶❤️
That was an awesome restoration. That grain was beautiful
Thanks Linda 😀😀
Absolutely amazing!! I am not a fan of MCM because of the structural lines but I appreciate the beauty of wood. Again, amazing!! Always appreciate the hard work you put into every piece that you restore.
Thanks Marilyn. I'm also not a fan of MCM for exactly the same reasons but i thought it would be fun to be part of this challenge. Thanks for your support as always 😃❤️
My grandfather was a cabinet maker. I appreciate your attention to detail in the repairs and restoration of the finish.
I was never a fan of MCM, but have come to appreciate the simplicity of the designs in the way they can show off the grain of the wood used.
Thanks very much. I’m not a big fan of MCM either but I’m happy to work on anything 😀😀
What an absolutely beautiful piece of furniture it is now. You did an incredible job on it.
Thanks so much 😀😀
What a smashing result! I love watching you and Daisy, don't care if the video is long. That was an amazing result!
Thanks so much 😊❤️🐶
It was a toss up between watching you or Jay first, lol. You won!
You brought that piece back really well. 👍
Hahaha thanks Lynne. Jays was superb and I always watch his work as he's my buddy 😃👍👍
Oh, wow! You turned a sow's ear into a silk purse :-D Magnificent job, David!
Thanks very much 😀😀
What a relief to see this beauty recovered!
😀❤️
As usual your meticulous attention to detail shines through in this now lovely piece of furniture. I hope that the pieces are judged on the restoration details as well as the final look. No bodge jobs a Mayfield ever!
You’re so kind Pamela. Thanks as always for your continued support 😀❤️
I am very glad you left a brighter tone on this piece! I am also pleased you used brackets instead of glue for the top!
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful restoration David!
I had a good chuckle at you peeling off the cow print paper. It was like déjà vu 😂. If for some reason it doesn’t fit in your shop, feel free to send it my way.
Hi Melanie. It was quite similar to your original “design” but yours was definitely worse 😂😂 You did an outstanding job on yours 😀👍👍
Oh lovely work! Thanks for restoring this piece’s dignity.😂
I can’t help but think of the person who “remodeled “ this. You know they had so much fun doing it and, they were using their imagination❤. But wow 🤦🏻♀️
Thank you very much!😀
I think the "tangerine dream" must have been dreamt in the 80s. What a garish nightmare. And to cover up such lovely woodgrain! You did a most wonderful job on this piece, Im enjoying the series! Thanks everyone for your individual contributions on eliminating one garish restoration at a time, 😂
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the challenge 😀😀
You did really well with this piece, I like the extra support so the piece is multi functional, sorry to hear Daisy is poorly. Hope she feels better soon.😊Natalie
Hi Natalie, thanks very much. Daisy is feeling much better thanks 😃🐶❤️
