Thank you so much Jay and thank you again for putting it together. Even though it was challenging I had a a lot of fun and this project definitely forced me to learn some new skills.
Absolutely a work of by gone wooden art brought back to its glory. Great vaneer work, and no I couldn't see the patches or your hand painting. It was perfect. Well done.
I am from Brazil and this dresser design is inspired in some buildings designed by Niemayer, for Brasilia, our 1960’s capital. I was anxious to see the result. Even the knobs were inspired by this architecture, this is mind blowing.
How cool is that! There is definitely something magnetic about this style, I fell in love with it before even knowing what it was. Im going to look up some photos of your buildings thanks for sharing .
I am so glad this dresser broyhill ended up in your hands. Seriously amazing work Melanie! I am going to need to try out your hardware hack now - thank you for sharing! ❤
You’ve got a great eye to recognize the delightful original form and you’ve got courage to take on the restoration. You’ve saved a true treasure! Lovely. 🥰
I know this is a small thing, but I love how nice you were about the dresser's before design. Whether it's to our tastes or not, a lot of furniture restorations like this were someone's art before you purchased it, and it's not nice to shit on someone's art. Your kindness about it earned you a subscriber :]
If you don't win, I'll be shocked and disappointed! Blending and painting to match is a true skill!!! Thank you for the Wenol tip and adding the panther for your finish! I inherited one of those panthers! ❤❤❤
It came out Great! Considering how Many Problems it had. I can see why so many people passed on Restoring this piece. You were Up for the Challenge! You took it from Yahoo Moo back to the Sophisticated Beauty it Truly is! And Yes, I could hear the Frustration in your Voice!
Wow! That is an amazing transformation! I didn't think you would be able to fix what this poor patient had endured. I'm absolutely with you that it's up the owner of a piece to do what they want, but cowhide!? 😂😂. I'm very impressed, well done 👏
Gorgeous result! Did you consider colouring the trim on the top drawers something contrasting just to accent it? And thank you for the excellent tip for the brass hardware. 👍
Thank you very much Matt I really enjoyed this collaboration and also getting to know so many new fabulous refinishers. Hope we can all do it again soon! Ha ha Converse are the best, but you already knew that lol.
Turned out lovely! Love watching you work, you have a lot of great ideas thinking out of the box, and you fixed the problem areas so well. Returned this piece of furniture to it's former grace and glory!
Awesome finished product. I have a couple of pieces of childhood furniture in need of restoration, but they are both being used, so it has been a challenge....not to mention I have never refinished a furniture piece, except when i painted a cabinet white when i was 8.
Trena from John's furniture and AT Restoration are masters at veneer and painting. It is great to see new restorers mastering these repairs. Beautiful job.
Well done!! You do magical work. I’m so impressed. I’ve stripped many pieces of furniture but I’ve never tackled veneer n you made it look so easy. And fixing those small missing pieces, kudos to you. I appreciate you explaining what you were doing n what you used, I’m just blown away. This piece had to take days n days to conquer yet you continue to go on. I’m not a big on mid century furniture ( like my antiques) but this piece turned out beautiful. Thank you for sharing your tips on cleaning brass. Have to admit you’re at my top of the list. ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍👏👏👏🌟
A very beautiful restoration or a late 1960's sideboard. Michael Angelo's story "The Agony and the Ecstasy" came to mind! You are my 11th viewing in the MCM challenge and you have my vote for 2nd best in all, so far. Congratulations and well done 👍👏
The MCM Challenge brought me here. What amazing work! You worked so hard and I thought you were going to give up and paint it for a minute there. I was super impressed with how you managed to finally blend in the repairs. It turned out to be something to be proud of. You saved it. Well done!
This is an excellent restoration. That paint & faux cow hide Ugh! But you gave this abused elegant, unusual piece of mid century furniture a chance to shine in loveliness once again. Beautiful finish & you’re right about the extra shine on the. Hardware. Very nice tip! Blessings from Dozer Butter Bean & me in Garden Ridge TX
What a gorgeous piece! And what a tremendous rescue from the cowhide painted craziness to its former wooden beauty!! And I loved the “extra” with the metal polisher ❤
Unbelievable! I’m new to furniture refinishing, but after three pieces I’m hooked. I’m enrolled in “RUclips University” and I’m learning a TON from you! Thanks so much!!
Beautiful job as always. That dresser is so unique. And possibly restored more beautifully than its original glory. After watching Matt (Restorology) restore & reyle his childhood dresser, I had to give him my blue ribbon vote. However my favorite is that chair restored to MCM. You are all so brilliant. Thank you for sharing. I hope you all benefit immensely from taking on this challenge.
Excellent restoration Melanie, very impressive! I loved the bar keepers tip, I will give that a go. Your repairs are very good, you would never know! Amazing work :)
Thank you very much Cole 🙏 I was just telling my husband about your video and the weaving. He reminded me about the Vintage Franco Albini rocking horse I have that needs refinishing. The seat would also need to be woven. Thanks for watching.
Excellent paint touch-ups. I have a couple of places on mine I'll need to do this also. There are small bits of corners that are missing from, I'm assuming, puppy chews.
Beautifully done..........so so very attractive. Excellent! I can hear in your voice how you enjoy doing the refurbishing. What an amazing piece of furniture.
Ahhhh Mel so good to hear and see you and your artistry. Gurl you never disappoint and this piece 😍😍 I was not surprised by the after but at the same time GURL!!! My jaw was on the floor!
🤗 Hey Sarah! So glad you enjoyed it but truthfully this one had me sweating bricks lol. I had to learn so many new techniques on the fly and wing others. Ha Ha but that's just what we do right 😆 . BTW I loved your last video and can't wait till part 3
Stunning! One of the most informative and best restorations I’ve seen in a while. I would have given up and painted that beauty 😂 Glad you stuck with it ❤

Thank you my fellow artist that means a lot 💜

I have 2 of these dressers, great job.
You can send them my way please lol.
I've been watching all the MCM challenge videos and this by far is the best! It was the most challenging to restore and it came out so beautiful 😍
Thank you so much!
Amazing work as always 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌
Thanks 🔥
I am so glad this dresser broyhill ended up in your hands. Seriously amazing work Melanie! I am going to need to try out your hardware hack now - thank you for sharing! ❤
Thanks Emily it was only a year in the making 😂. I loved your video so much! Let me know what you think of that hardware hack.
You’ve got a great eye to recognize the delightful original form and you’ve got courage to take on the restoration. You’ve saved a true treasure! Lovely. 🥰
Thank you very much!

I have never seen this Brazillia furniture before. Love it.
Yes something about the design, it’s captivating isn’t it?
If you don't win, I'll be shocked and disappointed! Blending and painting to match is a true skill!!! Thank you for the Wenol tip and adding the panther for your finish! I inherited one of those panthers! ❤❤❤
Wow, that’s an amazing transformation!
That means a lot thank you so much!
I was not convinced this would be saved..... you did an awesome job. Im impressed ❤
Thank you! 😊
It came out Great! Considering how Many Problems it had. I can see why so many people passed on Restoring this piece. You were Up for the Challenge! You took it from Yahoo Moo back to the Sophisticated Beauty it Truly is! And Yes, I could hear the Frustration in your Voice!
Yahoo Moo 😂 I like that.
Thank you so much for watching 💚
That piece turned out wonderful! ❤😊 A lot of hard work, you made it look so beautiful!😊😊
💚
It came out very well. The wood grains you made by hand are beautiful👌
Thank you Luca that means a lot!
Wow this one took my breath away
A very impressive result, dear Melanie. I wish I was as good with colors as you are. I always envy talented people. Great job 👏👏👏
Thank you so much Ismail 💚
Superb work Melanie. What a transformation 😳❤️❤️
Thank you David !
You brought this piece back to it’s original beauty.
Wow! Just wow! This restoration warmed my heart. I am glad to learn about your trick with restoring the hardware. What a wonderful transformation.
Hey it’s nice seeing you here 💚
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! That is an amazing transformation! I didn't think you would be able to fix what this poor patient had endured. I'm absolutely with you that it's up the owner of a piece to do what they want, but cowhide!? 😂😂. I'm very impressed, well done 👏
Hey I’ll give points for creativity on cowhide but we definitely had entirely different visions 🤣. Thank you so much for watching 💚
Gorgeous result! Did you consider colouring the trim on the top drawers something contrasting just to accent it? And thank you for the excellent tip for the brass hardware. 👍
Gorgeous!!! You did an amazing job! That piece was so horrible! Great work, I love it.
Thank you so much!
Everything in this video is fantastic! Lots of work. What will you do with it? 🍸 BTW, I like your shoes!
Thank you very much Matt I really enjoyed this collaboration and also getting to know so many new fabulous refinishers. Hope we can all do it again soon!
Ha ha Converse are the best, but you already knew that lol.
@@coloredcaboosecreations Heck yes I do. Three different colors of Converse here. Well two actually, my dog ate one of the pair I wore in my video. 😡
Difficult piece and you did an amazing restoration 👏🏻🌟
Turned out lovely! Love watching you work, you have a lot of great ideas thinking out of the box, and you fixed the problem areas so well. Returned this piece of furniture to it's former grace and glory!
Thanks for coming back. My goal is to bring more videos.
Yikes. That was a huge amount of work but wow, you knocked it out of the park. Well done.
Thank you 💚
What a transformation!! Great job!
Thanks so much! 😊
Awesome finished product. I have a couple of pieces of childhood furniture in need of restoration, but they are both being used, so it has been a challenge....not to mention I have never refinished a furniture piece, except when i painted a cabinet white when i was 8.
Never too late to start
Trena from John's furniture and AT Restoration are masters at veneer and painting. It is great to see new restorers mastering these repairs. Beautiful job.
Wow, if you’re comparing me with those two masters I’m honored 🥹.
Wow that looks amazing doesn't look like the same piece of furniture 😊
I didn’t hold out much hope for that after you revealed the wood, but you did an amazing job of repairing lots of damage. Kudos!
You and me both!
Well done!! You do magical work. I’m so impressed. I’ve stripped many pieces of furniture but I’ve never tackled veneer n you made it look so easy.

Wonderful work, and no paint in sight.
Your work is phenomenal-I’m glad I discovered you on RUclips!
I feel Baumgartner would approve of your retouching work. :) 🖌
💚
This is an excellent restoration. That paint & faux cow hide Ugh! But you gave this abused elegant, unusual piece of mid century furniture a chance to shine in loveliness once again.

You turned it from a tragedy into a beautiful piece!

You had me hooked a minute and a half in! I absolutely agree!

Beautiful dresser. Great job.
You did a fantastic job of painting the wood grain!
Excellent restoration Melanie, very impressive! I loved the bar keepers tip, I will give that a go. Your repairs are very good, you would never know! Amazing work :)

Obrigada por restaurar esse móvel que se inspira na arquitetura modernista da capital do Brasil, Brasília. Parabéns!
Thanks for watching 💚
Beautifully done..........so so very attractive. Excellent! I can hear in your voice how you enjoy doing the refurbishing. What an amazing piece of furniture.
You’re incredibly talented. I wasn’t allowed to take woodworking in school. I hope those days are gone.
They are
Your adventureous spirit on all the veneer repairs resulted in some very creditable repairs. I'm amazed. Good job, girlfriend.
Thank you!

💜
Oh My Gosh! You should be so proud of your outstanding work! You tackled every obstacle so beautifully, I have Chills!!!
You have worked a miracle! Igt is still not piece of furniture I would want, but somebody will love it forever, if not me..............
Love your attention to the tiniest detail. Never imagined it could look like that. Thankyou❤️
Glad you like it!
