In this video I challenge David from ‪@MayfieldRestorations‬ to transform a very tired, painted piece of furniture into something beautiful. David also challenges me with the worst piece of furniture I have ever seen. This was so much fun. Go see David's video and what he did.

The dresser turned out beautifully. You have a very good eye for design and your sense of humor makes your restorations a delight to watch. The cat of course, adds a touch of elegance and dignity.

@DD-sl2mr 4 ай бұрын

NOBODY but nobody does it better. I could watch your restorations nonstop. GLORIOUS videos: commentary, steps, supervisors (meow), clear product usage. Cannot find words sufficient for praise.

I love how you bring these pieces back to life! You restore their soul, as if they were living things. And maybe they are! The cat adds an extra special touch. She's beautiful, and so floofy!

That’s what we (in Texas) call “making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear”. You went much easier on David when picking the piece for him to work on than he did you! Your piece was WAY more work! Nicely done!!!

Honestly, what a transformation! You’ve certainly outdone yourself on this one! It looked like that poor dresser had at least ‘two’ legs in the grave. I never thought I’d say, “He gave the piece a proper vacuuming as well as hot bath, scrubbing every nook and cranny,” while describing bedroom furniture. Stain? Yes. Paint. Yes. Vacuuming, a bubble bath, and a spritz of dewormer? Nooo. But you’ve made it all worthwhile!

We built a straw bale addition to our house, and for the wood-framed parts, burned the cedar siding for a shou sugi ban finish… even the kids were out there with blowtorches all day, having a great time. We are so happy with the process and the result.

There are no words for this transformation. You literally put lipstick on a pig. When you first posted a picture, I thought "kindling" and it really seemed like a lost cause. But in true Flipping Drawers fashion , you save it, gave it CPR and mouth to mouth, applied the paddles, intubated it and saved it. Bravo to a job well done.

Your attention to detail, the obvious research that you do in relation to the history of the piece etc, is truly amazing. One has to love your sense of humour among the serious description of the work plus the 'supervisors' who regularly visit to check on progress & your interaction with them, all make for delightful viewing. GREAT job, congratulations, cheers, Don from South Aust.
