Hello again!! I'm sorry that you were so sick. I just had a feeling that something wasn't right. I hope you're completely well by now. I have to say, your intro really made me laugh!! So did Sully!! He's quite the athlete. Now, onto the desk.... This made me so emotional. Not quite sure why. I absolutely loved that you didn't completely restore this piece to make it look brand new. You did the right amount of badly needed repairs, and retained the original finish. Brava!!! It turned out quite beautiful, and yet it retained so many memories of it's past. You really did an awesome job, and as always, I can't wait for your next video. Stay well, my friend.

[@McCluskeyRestorations]

Hi Karen, just can’t seem to shake whatever it is that I’ve had for the past month. Fingers crossed I’ll be back to normal soon. Thank you for the well wishes. Glad the intro made you laugh and Sully of course. He is a comical little fella. Sometimes can be quite the handful but he’s a loveable rogue. 😂 Yes! This desk makes me emotional too. It’s because of its history and the memories attached. I know how special it is to the family. It was in such a sorry state but it was a privilege to work on it. Always lovely to hear from you and I hope you are doing well. ❤️

[@frankc2073]

Hope you get back to full health soon. Thought you were talking about me in your intro, never thinking it would be your self. Lovely sympathetic repair and fleshing up. Loved your thinking out of the box when using matchsticks. Loved it all

[@McCluskeyRestorations]

Thank you Frank. Yes when I first started the bureau I thought “this piece looks like the way I feel.” 😂 I think that’s why I spent so much extra time on it. I felt a bond with it. Now it’s in a better condition than me 🙊 thank you for watching… I’m glad you liked the matchstick idea. ❤️

[@jannamarie3990]

Wonderful job ❤

Thank you very much xxx

[@robertgriffith9703]

Amazing Restoration! It's Nice to see a piece that Looks Great without having to be Completely Stiripped down. Frolicking Pups!

[@McCluskeyRestorations]

I agree. Sometimes it isn’t necessary. Thank you for watching. Frolicking… amazing word 😂 and so apt.

[@cleopatracatra2097]

I'm sure that the grandmother is smiling down upon you now. You have restored this to a piece that anyone would be proud to own! I treasure even the smallest item that any ancestor previously owned--a piece of furniture, an old coin and an old cookbook to name a few.

[@McCluskeyRestorations]

How lovely 🥰 thank you very much. My friend’s mum contacted me to tell me how much she loves the restored piece and she said that when the Grandmother (her mum) was really pleased she would smile her wonderful smile, clap her hands together, throw her head back and say “Marvellous.” She said she would be doing that right now ❤️

[@cleopatracatra2097]

@@McCluskeyRestorations 👏Marvellous indeed!

[@KimNevelzer]

Your sympathic restoration was perfect and the drawer pulls are lovely with some of the patina left. I thoroughly enjoyed this video and as always, clips of your pups. I wish you continued health and look forward to your next video. Cheers from the Finger Lakes of NY !! 🍷 🍷

[@McCluskeyRestorations]

Thank you very much. I thoroughly enjoyed working on the piece. It took me on a journey this one. Very special. Cheers ❤️

[@pattylevasseur4041]

wow great job as always im sorry ur not feeling good..hope spring will have you back bouncing again with those adorbale pups!!!!

[@McCluskeyRestorations]

Thank you very much. I can’t wait for Spring 🌼 🐑 I can’t deal with the cold and rain anymore 😂

[@bloggalot4718]

Nice result, thanks for posting.

[@McCluskeyRestorations]

Thanks very much ❤️

[@tavaramirez668]

I am so sorry you have been sick. I hope you feel better soon! This is a beautiful piece. I love how you brought it back to life.

[@McCluskeyRestorations]

Thank you so much! Still not back to full fitness but I’ll get there eventually ❤️

[@thomasbagwell4510]

Good job! I enjoy watching your videos in Florida, USA. I live near a beach too but mine is warmer I expect and has palm trees. 😎🌴

[@McCluskeyRestorations]

Just a tad warmer… 😂 it’s been freezing here this winter. I wish I lived in Florida. Thank you for your kind words ❤️

[@MG-co8ug]

Wow. So wonderful to see such care & respect given to this wonderful piece of furniture. All pieces from the past, especially a writing desk, should keep all of it's stories for us to remember or imagine, and share fondly. Thank you from Ontario, Canada

[@McCluskeyRestorations]

Thank you so much. It was a real labour of love this one. So worth it though. The owner is very happy ❤️

[@polgarauk5606]

Hi I really hope you are feeling better today 😊 It sounds like the bug that has been doing the rounds up here kids PA/Carers have been ill with it too. Doesn't want to let go does it 😢 What a beautiful very sympathetic restoration that was 😊 absolutely beautiful 😍 I am sure your friend was delighted with the results 😁 Intro was funny in an ironic way I knew you were going to say it was about you 😂 mind with that bug I bet it has got you that way 😢thats my normal week 😂😂 Sully is definitely a very bouncy puppy 😂😂😂

[@McCluskeyRestorations]

Hello there, yes I think that’s what I’ve got… it’s really floored me and when recording my narration my voice was terrible. It was croaky and then going altogether and I was having to take a break and drink cough medicine 🙈 got there in the end 😂 So funny that you knew where my intro was leading too. I like to take the Micky out of myself. My friend is over the moon with the desk, so is her mum ❤️ made it all the more meaningful to me. Oh yes, Sully is quite the character. Charlie is top dog but Sully tries to push his luck with him. He’s a crazy boy! So lovely to hear from you. I hope you are well. ❤️

[@amandaadey9329]

Already creased at the intro 😂

[@McCluskeyRestorations]

Ha ha it’s funny cos it’s true 😂

[@stephanietaylor8003]

YOU'RE awesome! Glad you're feeling better. This was a beautiful piece treated with the respect it deserved ❤
