i think you're going to win, this is superb!
Omg. I’ve seen a LOT of ugly furniture “upgrades” by “civilians” but this is definitely the ugliest. This now gorgeous again piece deserved you coming back into its life. Fabulous job!
You wonder what "improvements" they rejected before deciding that faux brick wallpaper was the best idea!
@rosehughes599 😂😂😂😂😂😂💩😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you 🤩
You didn’t see the upright piano my mom painted and wallpapered in the early ‘70s…
@@janvafa9959 share that gem please 😂😂😂
I do not care what style it is, this came out beautifully! It was a real eyesore to begin with, but your TLC brought it new life!
You gave this piece its dignity back. I imagine that Travis, wherever he may be, is grateful to you. Gorgeous! just enough brass accents to set this beautiful desk off.
“Dignity” -perfectly said!
🤩
Walnut, walnut, walnut. I am sooo tired of it. I like these restorers, but honestly, have a little imagination!! Does anyone ever. Like any OTHER kind of wood or wood veneer??!! 😖
@@aaabbb8812 Lay down if you’re tired 💁🏻♂️ diet change perhaps?
@@Flippingdrawers Well said! (maybe they should cut dairy from their diet?) 😉🤣
Anywho, I love what you did and blends very well with the rest of that room. This piece is stunning!
I remember the 60's and 70's very well. Most of it is best not remembered - a lot of avocado green and shag orange carpets that made me ill, even back then. But this is what the best designers were aiming for; a futuristic look with clean lines and functionality. This would look at home in a bay on the S.S. Enterprise! Very well done!
The shag carpeting was excellent when playing with little plastic horses, especially the green carpet. Prarie as far as the tiny toy horses could see😂
Thank you 🖖🏼😂
I remember all the green and orange and dark brown! My parent's bedroom was dark blue shag - thank goodness they didn't have shag all over the house!
I don't know...not sure this would go well with the aesthetic on a space ship. Wait, wrong Enterprise? 🤔🖖🏾
@@Restorology 😂😂😂😂
I've read through a lot of the Comments and everything I wanted to say has been said already Jay. So, Congratulations on yet another Masterful Makeover, and I hope you do well in the challenge. A win would be so well deserved.
Much appreciated 🥰
The brass rod supports were genius, and look like they’ve always been there. A desk is a much more useful piece of furniture than a vanity. When you first put the top on, I was thinking it didn’t look very mid century, and said to myself, “those edges need to be beveled”…and seconds later that’s what you said! I didn’t think of edging in black, but you’re right - it makes it look thinner, and echos the black at the base. Great piece!
😊 Glad you liked it , Thank you
We had a stereo cabinet from the 70s made of MDF covered in veneer with black edging. This is so much cooler.
If I had to pick a project that encapsulated how much you've grown as a furniture artist...this would be it! I love everything about this desk! Wonderful work my friend!
awwww so kind of you Emily 🤩 thanks 😻
You would never realize this was ever that design abomination someone "transformed" a fairly nice vanity into - very well and nicely done, with a modern interpretation of MCM. I think the elevated desk top is genius as it definitely gives an intentionally airy look to this piece. The brass posts were a nice touch too!
Thank you 🤩
Love the brass "supports" you added under the desk top
That’s lovely! It looks so different now without the paint and wallpaper, with the lovely brass details! You’ve done an amazing job ❤🇬🇧
😻
The brass rods are perfect. Yes, the black edging was the right choice. Since I grew up with MCM, I don't care for it. But you truly shocked me with the amazing upgrade on it. Glad Hugo was there as your cheerleader to lift your spirits in the tough spots. Now off to see the rest of the lineup.
much appreciated 😻
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL . Travis had his vision and you elevated it to it's perfection.
ha ha 💪🏼thank you
Jay, that is one of the most beautiful desks I’ve seen! Everything about it is perfect!!!
🥹
As a mid century lover, I have to admit that you did a fabulous job on this piece, but I also loved the original dresser too. The floating glass shelf was killer imo. None the less I do like the desk and I know you did this for your own personal piece and that's what matters..
That is one unique desk. Perfect for you, Jay. So many techniques were used on the desk. I realized at the end that there was space for objects under the desktop, on top of the drawer boxes. So much stylish storage space and worktop space.
Thanks so much! and yes , I love it
This turned out SO well. The black beveled edge was a choice decision. My desk is an old kitchen table. I'm jealous now. 😂
Well, Ive seen comments saying that your dresser was one of the favourites in this challenge so there's that 🤩 and if it works 💁🏼♂️😂
It looks nothing like where you started. Thank goodness! Just beautiful. I can't wait to watch all of the rest of the videos.
😻
Jay, you’ve outdone yourself on this one! BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Thanks so much!
Another wonderful transformation. It's a very special piece, which you can use and be proud of for many years to come.
Thank you so much 😀
I binged all 13. I’m torn between your project and Restorogy’s, both are exceptionally well done. Thanks for spearheading this, what a great way to spend my last day of being 59!
Thank you and yes I think Matt did a cracking job @restorolory
I agree, I am torn between these two as well.
I was voting for @Flippingdrawers until he removed the brick paper. I would have left it on for the win! 😉😅
This is brilliant! Thank you for giving this lovely thing a better life. Whomever wrecked it needs to take a long, hard look at their life choices.
😂😂😂I will tell the that 😂 and thank you 🙏
Шикарный стол получился! Вы великий труженик и умелый мастер! Браво!!!❤
Hard to believe this is even the same piece, there is such a huge transformation. Stunning work!
Thank you very much!
Your fur baby knows his job very well. As cats go he seems actually willing to indulge in your affection 😊
The attention to detail is incredible. Massive success!
🥰
A friend from southern France once called a former design in a house before I refinished it with him as You Glee. Spell I said. UGLY,says he. This was the thing before. Now your best companion is Magnifique! I thank you for believing the image you had. And Hugo for his constant help encouraging us all.
Oh, WOW! That’s beautiful! No one would even know it’s the same piece! Bravo!
So glad the previous owners kept that lovely brass hardwear
So sweet, "let's not forget about Travis." Very kind.
You had a vision from the beginning to turn this ugly duckling into a swan! I'm not surprised it's your favorite, and since it's something you'll use often, you get to admire it all the time. The finished product is wonderful. Travis would be proud.
Looks fabulous! I never would have thought it could have been restored/renovated to such a high standard.
It's a SPECTACULAR TRANSFORMATION! From ugly duckling to beautiful swan!
Beautiful work, Jay! It’s a really gorgeous piece! Nice you can always enjoy it in your home. I really hope you win the challenge!
WOW. It looks amazing. I'm so glad you kept the original handles and legs. You've given them a new lease of life in themselves as well as being kept as an original feature. Another great project.
What an absolute treasure that desk is now. Wonderful job!!!!
I agree 🤩
Some people shouldn't be allowed near good furniture. What on earth were they thinking?
Thank you for saving this beautiful piece.
We agree!
Amazing! The ugly duck became a beautiful swan. Great job!
This has to be one of the most amazing transformations I’ve ever seen. It’s now a truly gorgeous piece of furniture!
🥹🤩🙏
Jay, you are a great professional, you have transformed furniture into something unique😊
Thanks Luca🙃 Very kind of you . Loved your desk too👌🏼
Another major win! Congratulations on a superior and well-designed product!
😻
Ugly duckling turned into a gorgeous swan. Wow Jay beautiful. Well done
🥰🤩
WOW! You definitely turned an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan! I love the transformation!
Thank you 🙏
Beautiful. I realized I need to train my eyes to see what is under all of the “mess”. 🇺🇸.
That brass polish is the same kind my drummer husband uses to polish his cymbals!
The original hardware looks perfect on your new desk!
What a beautiful transformation! It looks as if it just came from a top designers showroom. Well done sir.
Glad you like it!🤩
WOW! WHAT A UGLY DUCKLING TURNED SWAN PIECE! You always do really excellent work but this time you outdid yourself sir! 🤩🤩🤩
That has turned out absolutely beautiful. I love the little brass supports you added to the front of the top. I also like your friendly ninja watching to make sure you do things right, haha
What a treasure. Glad you are keeping it for yourself.
Holy smokes, Jay- this is a truly night and day makeover. I’m not usually one to judge what people do with their own things… but what in the hell was that brick wallpaper?!!! 😂😂 Fantastic job.
So kind of you Angie 😻 I love this desk and edited the end of this video at it 🙂
I’m telling you this is the most stunning transformation I’ve seen! You brought this MC vanity back from the dead & turned it into a Beautiful Desk! My Husband who is sadly no longer with us, was a master craftsman woodworker he is applauding you too! Your workshop is the most organized I’ve seen amongst all the YT contributors & I love it! Great job & thank you for not painting this beautiful wood I love the brass tub😂es you used to enhance the floating look & the tasteful black edge to the desk top making it look thinner.. Blessings from Dozer Butter Bean & me in Texas, USA
Gosh, I'd love to be let loose in your workshop to learn how to use all those amazing tools! I nearly didn't watch (but I know you can do miracles) & as ever, this piece is absolutely lovely. The original creator of it would be so proud now
I love how you paid attention to spacial dimensions and design. You truly hit the wow factor!! Well done.
A TRULY MAGNIFICENT MID CENTURY MODERN REMAKE REMODEL PIECE...WELL DONE
!!!
🤩
Well that’s an improvement ❤
Thank you for giving Travis the recognition he deserves 😉. Also, what a beautiful transformation! 👍👍
You bet 😉 thank you
I love the one thousand years later - an eternity later 😅😅 great job 👍👍👍
Thank you so much 😀
Absolutely gorgeous!
I'm not much of a fan of this furniture era, but I love this piece. Well done
Holy Moly! That turned out nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
I hope you sell all your gorgeous upgraded furniture for a very well deserved price! 😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wow, learning how to use the camera in only 2 days! that's fantastic! no judgement from this observer 😀 well done!
🥰
WOW! That is Stunning!
I nearly skipped this because I JUST COULD NOT think of this piece .looking like nothing but two bedroom end tables nailed together with boards...BUT YOU DID A GREAT 😃 JOB ! BEAUTIFUL!
So much better than the wallpaper stuff! Turned out beautiful!
You threw a “Hail Mary” and made a touchdown! Great vision.
😻
Eyesore to Fabulous! I love the finished desk. Mid-century is not usually my favourite period for furniture, but this piece after all your love and care is a stunner. ❤
Love result, Hugo, and the birds in your yard are amazing to hear 🌟
Omg, Jay.... You definitely worked your magic on this one. What was once the absolute most ugliest piece of furniture in the world, is now the most stunning! Extremely gorgeous job! 😊❤
Wow, thank you!
Wow. Seriously great job. It's so common to remake a vanity into bedside tables. This was a wonderful, unique idea and a fantastic result.
🤩
Jay, if this desk doesn't win this competition, I'll eat my hat!!! (Don't worry, I don't even own a hat.) This is probably the best makeover I've ever seen. Kudos to you, and your brilliance! I absolutely LOVE this desk....and I know you will enjoy it for a very long time.
so kind of you 🤩 thank you 🙏
Wow wow wow! What an amazing upgrade you gave it!! Love!
Glad you like it!
AMAZING JOB restoring that vanity, you are a real perfectionist! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Stunning result!!!! Amazing how you started with the most uninspiring piece of furniture and turned it into a beautiful and modern desk!
Wow! You've got ALL the tools! What fun you must have. You even have excellent eyesight! I hope you have offspring who would love to inherit all those fine tools. Beautiful work! ❤️
Your new desk is beautiful. You’re a very skilled & talented artist/craftsman and I enjoy watching you rescue furniture from the trash and reimagining it’s use. Thank you for your channel 😊
Wow! You sure did this piece justice! Well done
Used neverdull when I was in the Navy. Great stuff, didn’t know they still made it. Nice work! Love the MCM style. Reminds me of when I was a kid.
Мой любимейший рестовратор Браво,восстановили и сделали очередной ШЕДЕВР.Спасибо за прекрасную работу.❤❤❤❤
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
That desk is phenomenal. You did a great job!
Ah, Jay, your creative bent always shines through! None of us could have guessed what the final reveal would be. The color is spot on for MCM, and the floating table top gives tons of eye candy appeal. You're a lucky guy to have this for your new desk. Many thanks to you and to Hugo, your General Manager. Cheers from Oklahoma!!!
Thank you 🤩🐾
Wow Jay what a beautiful transformation from the old ugly vanity, to your new Desk.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you 🤩
Hi Jay, You came out smelling like roses again. A few dozen this time!!! A terrific artist you are. The monster it was is now better than it was new!! The floating desk is wonderful with the added height for your desktop computer in between.The brass posts and black edge are great ideas!! BTW i love yiur dry humor in the beginning. God bless and take care from your long-time California subscriber.
Thank you kindly ;-)
That original was hideous! I'm so impressed that you could envision something within it, let alone make it happen. Great work!!! 😺
Thank you very much!
The brass rods you added off camera were a nice touch.
Beautiful! I love the tiny brass supports in the front. Excellent touch!
I love the brass in the front! It puts the icing on the cake! This one is one of my favorites as well. Beautiful!
That is a masterpiece. Well done. Please do more. Jealous!!
Just stunning!
Oh wow! This is stunning! Great transformation !
Great job Jay!
I AM gonna judge you - you're BRILLIANT!
Lol thank you 🤩
Beautiful restoration that honors the origional design and artistry of the piece!
It's gorgeous!
Once upon a time, the brick work was a super neat unique look for the person who did it then. I keep in mind what it might have looked like in the room it was decorated for. Open minds are required for this video LOL!
🙃
Beautiful work, Jay. You really did save this one.
Thanks Steven 🤩 I love this desk 🤗
The hard work paid off, beautifully done
The original hardware is stunning and really completes the look. AMAZING transformation, Jay! Good job with the new camera too.
Much appreciated 🤩
