Bravo 👌🏼 Love the attention to details and the touch up work on the trim. Great teamwork and what a beautiful result! Thanks guys for doing this and for the shoutout . I definitely accept the challenge ;-)
The black stain, woodgrain and gold hardware gives the desk a classic, timeless look. Reminds me of the woodwork in yachts from 40+ years ago. (Remember the original series of James Bond movies? Seriously, that is my yatch exposure. I have not ever owned a canoe.) I now see both black and white stain in my near future. The end-result is truly outstanding! Cindy and Jim have an amazing eye for design and never disappoint.
This is a stunningly beautiful result. You really honored the piece. I love your channel. You show the realities of refinishing furniture, while instructing and even entertaining. Are we furniture nerds?
I'd never know this was your first full restoration like this. You two did a phenomenal job! Every detail was just so spot on. Hated watching those splashes hit the wall though. You could always faux the whole wall in wood grain 🤷♀️ My favorite way to fix things, cover it up 🤣
I used a Minwax Espresso satin Allen one stain/poly on a knee hole desk I bought from a neighbor online. It was a very heavy buggar with curved bottom dust free drawers and lovely curved feet. The solid top has a curved routered edge around 3 sides (not applied trim) I did a lot of sanding. That black brown is stunning on this piece. Now that it is done it was worth all the time spent on it and I’m so glad I didn’t chalk paint it. I just need to put the handles back on. Your desk turned out great. We saved two more good oldies from the dump! 😉 These small desks are great for laptops!
Just discovered your channel, and so glad I did. I'm binge watching! Not only are your projects gorgeous, but I love your tips and explanations. I've watched many other channels and yours is one of the few that actually teaches. I don't learn much, if anything, from those that just do timelapse with music, and I get impatient with those that hem and haw and repeat the same thing over and over. You hit exactly the right balance, I've already found a wealth of usual information, without a lot of unnecessary (and frankly, boring) chatter. Perfect!
I hadn't thought about using trim like that around a desk. The next time I get a piece that would take something like that, I'm using that idea. Lovely piece. Doesn't have to be a desk anymore.👍
So you changed the color of the wall. I like the new color. And I LOVE the redo. Perfect restoration. I have a little desk just like this that I have been wondering what to do with. This helps me decide.
Beautiful work. I'm a big fan of black stain. You should try it on oak. Really makes the grain and texture pop. Also the fact you didn't need to mute when your stain splattered your wall, you're a Saint. I had to mute myself lol 😆
love, love, love your channel! Y'all crack me up sometimes! I love that your videos are real and not all edited to death. I also love that you restore furniture, not just slap a coat of chalk paint on it!
So satisfying to watch this video. The flow of your videos keeps me entertained. Love all the humor in here as well. Hoping to see more amazing projects like this one in the future. Barry
Totally agree with Barry! You both chuckle away and obviously have a wonderful relationship which is beautiful to see while you're working on your pieces!
Soooo beautiful!! I am new to refinishing furniture. I casually started about a year ago. My goal this year is to really dive deep and get better. I do quite a bit of painting but your desk has challenged me to contemplate staining. I love the look of stain, it is very difficult to do. I always end up with a drip mark, even on a flat surface.
I've been a fan of you two for a while. You're both very authentic, and it makes your flips and videos a genuine joy to watch. I enjoy how much attention you give to the details and prep. Have a great holiday 🤗
I love y’all’s work-especially the repairs. Learning a lot of diff things like applying mineral spirits to bare wood before the gel stain!!! Thank you so much!!!!
I’m on a binge watching your videos!!! I’m at the point where the wall got hit😜. That is so me!!! Was also thinking before the accident-that’s my kitchen wall color!!! I was also thinking & liking that you bring furniture into your home (I don’t have a garage or workshop so watching how other folks do
Beautiful work we are getting ready to do a desk like this. I normally paint but my husband wants to stain this one. I was Leary of doing so. But after watching your video. I am convinced it is a great idea thank you.
good call Cindy with the arrow 👌🏼
Shenanigans! 😂 I remember this one! You just rolled with dropping an open can, and double-teamed a drawer. Sweet memories 😊
Amazing workmanship/Restoration ..Love and Respect from Germany 🇩🇪.
love the wax on the inside !
The drawers slide well now! Thanks!😮
Fabulous!!!
Thank you!
Bravo 👌🏼 Love the attention to details and the touch up work on the trim. Great teamwork and what a beautiful result! Thanks guys for doing this and for the shoutout . I definitely accept the challenge ;-)
We'll be waiting! Thanks again Jay!😁
Can't wait to see what you makeover Jay... whatever it is will definitely be a show stopper!🥰
You all do amazing transformations. I love watching what you do and your attention to detail. Can’t wait to see Jay’s painted piece 😍
Loved Cindy’s giggles! Turned out beautiful!
Thanks so much 😊
watching ;-)
I have not seen a better example of two different stains complementing each other so well - this is just a gorgeous piece!!
Thanks so much 😊
Here we go warriors!!!! Bravo jim and cindy
Thanks Lisa!
I love black stain, I use it myself. It looks wonderful with the lighter stain. This desk is just beautiful. Great work.
Thank you Kathryn!

Thanks so much! We don't always score, but we can always redo what doesn't work!😁
Turned out absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!! Now to strip my freshly painted childhood desk! LOL
Oh My! What have we done!🤣 Thanks Kelli!
Very very nice. You did the old girl proud!❤
This is a stunningly beautiful result. You really honored the piece. I love your channel. You show the realities of refinishing furniture, while instructing and even entertaining. Are we furniture nerds?
Best laugh of the afternoon -- the smiley face next to the sander 😂😂😂😂
That was originally brought to our attention by Angie @TranscendFurnitureGallery . Since then, we haven't been able to "unsee" it!🤣
You two are a cute, loving couple! You knocked it out of the ballpark on this renovation! Lovely.
Thank you!!
buttload is a very appropriate term for this ha ha now you know how I feel lol
Yes we do! A lot of work but so worth the end result! Thanks Jay!😁
Nice job! Love and use Howards ptoducts alot! Ive been watching Jay @ Flippin drawers for quite awhile! You're right, his workmanship is oustanding!
What a stunning piece of furniture 😍. Awesome job.
Thanks Rhonda!
Her laugh ❤️😂
What an awesome piece it became ❤️ you did a great job ❤️
Thanks Nora!
That desk looks so classy now!! Great job!!
Thank you!! 😊
I like the two-tone staining effect very much. I don't see enough of that. Cindy's laughter was my favorite part though. She got me started as well.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I think Jim should just sign the wall and call it “art.” 😁
The desk is so elegant now! Great work!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks Lizza!
I'd never know this was your first full restoration like this. You two did a phenomenal job! Every detail was just so spot on. Hated watching those splashes hit the wall though. You could always faux the whole wall in wood grain 🤷♀️ My favorite way to fix things, cover it up 🤣
HAHA....Faux wood grain on the wall was my first thought too! Thanks Jenn!
Oh wow! I think think it would be this beautiful but it is! Absolutely elegant and beautiful!
Thank you so much!
What an excellent outcome!
Thanks Caty!😀
Great job! You got my wheels turning.
Cool Sheryl! Go for it!😀
Beautiful work! Very nice transformation!❤️❤️
Thank you! 😊
This piece is absolutely gorgeous. You two have outdone yourselves.
Thank you!
I really like the two tone stain look! The piece looks brand new!
Thanks Joyce!
Beautiful with a Ralph Lauren vibe. Love it.
Wow, thank you!😀

Wow I think that the two tone really made it look very high end.. Excellent job.
This is my favorite look. Woodgrain framed with black paint. Drawer pulls are the perfect touch.
Thanks Evie!
Beautiful!!
Thank you Simone!😀
Absolutely gorgeous! ❤
Like your smiley face. Lol. Nice job. Love the stain combo. Beautiful.
Thanks Lydia!
Wow!! This is so beautiful. Enjoyed the video.

Welcome and Thank you Sandra!

That was original to the desk! We thought it was pretty cool too!😀
Your pieces always turn out great. I'm only here to watch you two interact. You crack me up.
😊 thank you
how nice to see that you have such a beautiful hobby together, and you are also doing great too. good job thumbs up

So you changed the color of the wall. I like the new color. And I LOVE the redo. Perfect restoration. I have a little desk just like this that I have been wondering what to do with. This helps me decide.

You are so welcome and thanks for watching Helen!
Looks beautiful! Oops your artistic stain on the wall, well i said the bad word for you!! Lol. Enjoyed the video

Thanks 👍
Great Job!! I'm so glad that you accepted Jay's challenge!! The piece is beautiful!
Thank you so much Cindy!! We're glad we accepted too!!😀
Beautiful work. I'm a big fan of black stain. You should try it on oak. Really makes the grain and texture pop. Also the fact you didn't need to mute when your stain splattered your wall, you're a Saint. I had to mute myself lol 😆
Not sure how I didn't have a few choice words come out!🤣 Thanks Emily!
Awesome, I love every piece you redo.
Thanks so much Eva!😁
Love it!!! I love that you used the black stain. I rarely ever see anyone use it! Turned out beautiful!!

I love this finish. You both are such an inspiration. I enjoy your videos and your realism. 💕🌈🖖🏽

Dropped the can. Glad you didn’t kick the bucket. 😁
You and me both!😁
I’m on a binge watching your videos!!! I’m at the point where the wall got hit😜. That is so me!!! Was also thinking before the accident-that’s my kitchen wall color!!! I was also thinking & liking that you bring furniture into your home (I don’t have a garage or workshop so watching how other folks do
Bringing them into our house is a winter thing! We can hardly wait to work in the garage or outside again!!! Thanks!!
Excellent job! The trim turned out great
Thank you!
Now it’s beautiful! Good job.
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful work we are getting ready to do a desk like this. I normally paint but my husband wants to stain this one. I was Leary of doing so. But after watching your video. I am convinced it is a great idea thank you.
Beautiful! You two are an AMAZING team. Taking the trim off is such above and beyond, but the beautiful end results always shows in your pieces.
Thank you!!
You’re a great team.👍 A lot of work. Amazing.
Thanks Lizeth!
