My Biggest FURNITURE RESTORATION yet - Part of "Its Literally Trashed Challenge"

[@pamelamason6372]

I wonder if you ever think “that will do, it’s close enough “. No, you are such a perfectionist. The miracle that you work on all your pieces is heartwarming. I wish that I had your skill, patience and determination to see that any restoration with my name on it is suitable to fit in a stately home or a palace. Everything that I have seen you do would not look out of place in the very best of houses. Good thing you have Daisy to keep you up to scratch.

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Wow Pamela, you always say such lovely things about my work and I hope you know how much I appreciate your support. Thanks so much 😀🐶❤️❤️

[@raeatkinson2741]

What a love job. Loved the way you finished the inside. Made it beautiful. Keep up the good work.

[@MayfieldRestorations]

😀❤️

[@kendrapetrick649]

That was probably one of the kindest comments I have ever read. Just lovely.

[@brendaowens2466]

It is simply magnificent work.

[@KimRinehart]

Dear God what a difference!!!!! My Gran used to say " Your trying to make a silk purse from a pigs ear". Well, you did just that!!! Absolutely beautiful 🤗

[@MayfieldRestorations]

That’s lovely of you to say, thanks very much 😀😀

[@ElaineWood-f2t]

Talk about going from trash to treasure! This was a phenomenal transformation!!!! The wood grain on this piece is fantastic!! Good show! Thanks to Daisy for a generous dose of "puppy love"! ❤

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Thank you very much!😀🐶❤️

[@rachealsmith5138]

Holy cow, look at the grain on that!! What a wonderful restoration! This looks absolutely wonderful! I’m so glad you picked this piece to restore. And pet Daisy for me for making me smile!😊❤😊❤

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Thanks and will do Racheal. 😀🐶❤️

[@donnaamdahl1433]

Could’ve ever predicted the beauty underneath all of that trash. It’s absolutely gorgeous. Thank you.

[@MayfieldRestorations]

😀❤️

[@suecox2308]

That grain is so beautiful--who would have thought it would be hidden under all that dirt and paint--a beautiful restoration almost like witchcraft!

[@MayfieldRestorations]

😀😀 Thanks Sue 👍👍

[@Flippingdrawers]

Don’t remember if I left a comment or not 😂 that was a lot of work my friend but well worth the beautiful result. Nice work 💪🏻

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Thanks buddy 😀❤️

[@lindakennedy1193]

The way the veneer matched down the front was just beautiful... Daisy has got competition with the duckies!!!!

[@MayfieldRestorations]

🤣🤣🦆🦆🦆🦆🐶❤️❤️

[@Kmi4880]

After so much abuse that piece of furniture received a new life. You certainly found it's former beauty, that woodgrain is stunning. Awesome job!

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Thanks very much😀😊

[@nancybrowne367]

Another reminder that you can't tell a book by its cover. Thanks for having the patience to revive this gorgeous dresser. It will bring so much beauty to the world.

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Glad you liked it, thanks very much 😀😀

[@maggiesue4825]

Daisy is so cute to watch - I love the way she tosses her head when she barks! Obviously, she is great company for you. The chest looks really beautiful - saved to grace another home!

[@MayfieldRestorations]

😊 thank you. Daisy is a great companion although a little distracting 🤣🤣🐶❤️

[@myraholmes8702]

The beauty wasn't visible until you did this awesome restoration, David. And hello to sweet Daisy and the cute little duckies❤❤❤❤😊

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Thanks Myra 😀🐶🦆❤️❤️

[@julieanderson6345]

Oh, I'm so glad you restored it. It turned out so lovely.

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Thank you! 😊

[@TrudiAdams-Wiggan]

Have mercy! Wonder how many people’s lives resemble this dresser? Let’s hope someone near them gives them as much care as you just gave this piece of furniture. Thanks for caring and for doing your best on something others chose to throw out as trash.

[@TrudiAdams-Wiggan]

Yes, Jay says that on really tough cases!😂

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Thanks so much 😀❤️

[@doriglenn1358]

At first, I had to laugh at the string ‘drawer pulls’ and at Daisy’s antics, along with the ducks just being ducks- and I completely understand the time it takes to work up the sanding grit- it does take 2,000 years, but the transformation was just phenomenal! That gorgeous wood grain! I was also happy to see that you use Titebond Hide Glue! And I appreciate how you explain your repairs and items that you use! Still cannot get over the final result- I’m certain it’ll bring in a pretty penny! The true definition of “Trash to Treasure!” Bravo, David! 👏👍💖🌟

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Thanks so much Doris, that’s really kind of you 😀🐶❤️

[@martemacdougall1985]

Everyone of these channels within the "Trash Challenge " is the New 🏆 winner. You are now another strong 💪 contender. Isn't the grain outstanding on the drawer fronts? OMG. Thank you for your video today. ❤

All the challengers did a lovely job. Thanks for supporting us all 😀❤️

[@hannahstraining7476]

Gobsmacked. That grain. All of it. Wow.

[@lindagates7887]

I barely have words to describe your work on this piece of furniture. I am in awe of your craftsmanship and patience. Just totally brilliant. Love the result!

[@MayfieldRestorations]

That’s really kind, thanks so much 😀😀❤️

[@mattneillninasmom]

Nothing short of miraculous. Who would have guessed at the beautifully crafted veneer pattern buried beneath? You helped rediscover the craftsmanship of artisans long gone, once more to live on in memory. You have done more than restore a piece of furniture, you have paid tribute to bygone artists.

[@MayfieldRestorations]

I love that comment. Thanks very much Matt 😀😀👍

[@scanmead]

It kinda makes me sad someone treated such a pretty piece so badly. Thank you for rescuing such a lovely lady. (You did good!)

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Thanks 🤩

[@Thepourdeuxchanson]

You are so clever to see through the horrible mess and envision what was underneath. And then to bring it back to beauty!

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Thanks so much 😀😀

[@ceeyaaa]

I love everything about it. Lot of work and it is gorgeous. Who would have thought that wonderful wood pattern was there. Good job on the hardware too.

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Thank you very much!😀❤️

[@Sparkysings2]

Astounding! I can’t believe how beautiful you’ve made this trashed piece. The grain is gorgeous!

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Thank you very much!😀

[@lateciamadethis]

It’s simply amazing to me the amount of care given to correcting the imperfections. A beautiful thing has reemerged from the rubbish. It’s a metaphor for life really. With love, care, and a commitment to compassion the patchwork on our souls becomes less noticeable and beauty shines through.

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Lovely comment, thank you 😀❤️

[@Kmi4880]

I'm stunned. Talk about diamond in the muck! The wood grain is breathtaking. Incredible job saving such a piece. I'm so happy that you gave it a new life. I'm certain the original builders are very happy with you. Well done David!!

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Thank you very much!😀😀

[@patriciacrozier7624]

You definitely had your work cut out for you, but you did an amazing transformation! She is a stunner, and the hardware just finishes it all off so beautifully. You and Jay really chose absolute trash to repair 😂 Miss Daisy is just the cutest. A real sassy madam who is very vocal about her wishes. Gorgeous! Best of luck with the challenge. Greetings from Germany ❤

Thank you!!😀❤️

[@CarolHewett-ug2cw]

Gorgeous! Veneering is a lost art. It's a myth that it was only intended to cover cheap wood. It also turned a furniture piece into a "painting" with wood grains. Kudos to the yesteryear companies that manufactured extra fancy veneers for furniture making.

[@snovak132]

Thank you for caring enough to restore this chest to its original glory; I hope its new owner cares for it accordingly. Just discovered your channel a couple weeks ago. Happy to follow and support a good person who loves dogs and ducks!

David, I can't say I don't know how you managed to make that piece of junk into a piece of furniture anyone would be proud to display in their home, because I witnessed it, but all the same, what you did is astounding! Only someone with a true love of the craft could achieve what you do time after time. Love watching you work :-D

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Wow, that’s such a nice comment, thanks for your support as always 😀❤️

[@royer_redos]

It looks amazing, that repair is invisible unless someone is looking for it specifically. I cannot believe it was such a piece of trash but underneath most of the veneer looked beautiful. Amazing job.

[@Ferretlover64]

My god that is stunning! I would have never thought that piece would be able to be restored to such a simply gorgeous piece of art Bravo 👏

[@deeharper2482]

[@dshey6802]

By restoring that piece of furniture that was abused as a workbench in a garage everyone now can see how brilliant furniture manufacturers and their carpenters were at veneer work. The mirror effect of the veneer on the drawers is utterly gorgeous. And that was an affordable chest of drawers for the middle class of Great Britain back in the twentieth century. Thank you, David for giving us a glimpse of history, and at the same time restoring a very worthy chest of drawers. I almost forgot to say that you, David, have the BEST taste in hardware. I love the new knobs.
