That fabric has a McIntosh vibe to it. Jay is one of the sweetest guys on the internet.

[@MayfieldRestorations]

😀❤️

[@wendyhale2189]

Yes, but Jay doesn’t have Daisy!

[@fiberotter]

Love the Daisy, but Jay does have the lovely neighbor Hugo.

[@girlnorthof60]

Ditto what everyone else said, a beautiful chair gets a well deserved new life... sending hugs to sweet Daisy ❤

[@gailbutler3310]

Beautiful chair, beautiful Daisy! 🐕❤️ Your customers are right, that material is fantastic!

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Thanks so much Gail 😀🐶❤️❤️

[@Laulie1960]

I think the best thing I like about your and Jay's channel is how you walk us through your process and tell us what you are doing/need to do in order to do what is best for the piece and your customer. The "sanding" parts relax me from a hard day's work :-). I will never be a furniture restorer but I so appreciate your devotion to your art. And Daisy is a peach and just lovely. Coming from Charlotte, Charlotte, NC, USA.

[@MayfieldRestorations]

So pleased you enjoy our channels, Jay is a good friend of mine now and we both get compared to each other often. I think we have a similar work ethic. Thanks for your support 😃❤️

[@war7334]

Its enjoyable to see quality furniture restored.Too many of these show are garbage and a waste of time to watch.Yours is quality .

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Thats really nice of you to say, thanks so much 😃

[@TheCraftyMagnolia]

Nice surprise this morning. Found this posting which I somehow missed! I don’t know how I missed it as I always look for your vlogs. As usual a beautiful restoration. Respect to you for using the right glue in case years from now it needs another revamp. As always dear Daisy made me laugh. What a way to start the day. Thank you Daisy. . . . . . . Oh and you too David.

Hi Pam, thanks for your great comment as a,ways 😀🐶❤️

[@lyndseybeaumont7301]

What a fab present from Jay. You two guys are my favourite KZbinrs. When I see one of your videos on my feed, I know I’m going to have a good day. I just love watching you at work and you both have a lot of valuable information to impart. I do hope you had a good birthday and that Daisy shared in the birthday cake lol. Those chairs look awesome now and that fabric is very beautiful.

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Thanks Lyndsey, Jay was very generous sending me that gift. I had a great birthday and Daisy’s favourite thing is to “help” me unwrap my gifts and then proceed to shred the wrapping paper. 😂😂🐶❤️❤️

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Thank you! 😊

[@user-kx2xi1xe8p]

Nice work---lovely chair. Love watching you and your furry friends! My only suggestion would be that since the red flower part of the fabric design is dominant, it may have looked better if that part of the design had been centered on the chair seat, rather than the non-dominant foliage part.

[@MayfieldRestorations]
