Yours is by far the best furniture restoration channel. You are a Pro'.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Oh wow. Thankyou!

[@gailsprangers9388]

To be honest, this set wouldn't have gotten a second look from me in it's original state. After you finished it, the quality of your work makes it a stand out. I'm so envious of your skill. Beautiful job!

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou !

[@melvinsandoval6508]

Hey treana you are the best at what you do keep going

[@cynthiashaw45]

With that solid finish and drawer pull feature I wouldn’t have looked twice at it either. Who knew it was solid wood? 1970s had plenty of ornately added features that were not wood but plastic with veneers over plywood. Unique piece. Great job again!

[@garyhaines6632]

You could take an old rubber innertube and cut out little gaskets and put them inside the lid !!!! ta da !! no more leaks. On your furniture that you just finished as always, you outdid yourself with excellent repair and beautiful stain and finish. You are a true professional and a pretty decent teacher.

There was way more work to these pieces than it looked like at first. You never fail to impress me with your thoroughness in making sure each piece works smoothly and easily. The corners of the bedside tables was really impressive. I hadn't seen the incorrect curve until you showed it with paper. The entire set came out beautifully. I love how the grain can be seen in the drawers. It makes it so much more unique. Thanks for taking us along. The kitten is darling and shop dog is a hoot.

Love what you've made this set into and even though it's sad to not have a vanity - our society doesn't use vanities any longer... you've kept a nice piece of wood furniture out of the landfill!!! Great job. Now about the cat... all shops need a cat and bless you for saving her. And by the way, you are a "cat" person now!! I created The Cat Project MO here in Missouri and I took in a tiny kitten much like yours a month ago - she is adorable like you baby. Thanks for all the great content you put out there. Keep up the good work.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou !

[@josephkerley363]

You nailed it with the "night stands". No one will notice it was once a vanity. Excellent quality work. I enjoy jobs like that. One project I did was similar. It was an antique bed, oak, that was double and the lady wanted it to be a queen size. The challenge, as with you, was to make it look like that was the way it was supposed to be. It turned out "pretty good". Well done Trina.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Nice! Thankyou !

[@Beegee1952]

Love the modern style with such a rich finish. 1940s? Morgan @ Gold Shaw Farm in VT is always saying he’s not a cat person, even had t-shirts made saying that, you should see him with his barn cats! They worm their way into our hearts! 😻

You make even the most mundane look spectacular. I can appreciate that a LOT of the grunt work goes unnoticed - it goes without saying that it is important not only to make furniture look good, but to function properly and smoothly. Your videoing skills are also improving tremendously. They are coherent, logical and include the necessary details, but none of the dead time. My daughter makes vlogs for her channel and I can see all the thought and hard work that goes into setting up camera angles and making sure the light is right and having enough battery life left.

Don't let the opportunity slip away; that's what an artist like you does, she takes the rough and lets the piece emerge, because that magnitude was already there, only hidden, and in the end revealed, by her hands, that in another life, she was a Viking warrior , this is quite clear, which was one of the first invasions of England, carried out, alongside its Lord,

This project was really impressive, been in law enforcement for 30 years so i'm not a faint of heart, but when i saw you cut that top and looked at the curve left on both pieces i had a moment of doubt.

I love vanities. It’s a shame rooms have gotten so you can’t fit them in anymore. I find them quite glamorous and nostalgic. I live in an older house because I am partial to the design and styles of the past. I have a beautiful Art Deco bedroom set with this incredible Art Deco vanity complete with the gold lines and angles. This set your working on is very nice. I love the simple clean lines. While I’m sad the vanity was turned into side tables, the side tables turned out wonderfully. For pieces to continue to be useful it’s important that they evolve. Well done on the rest of the set as well. They all look wonderful.
