i think you're going to win, this is superb!
Omg. I’ve seen a LOT of ugly furniture “upgrades” by “civilians” but this is definitely the ugliest. This now gorgeous again piece deserved you coming back into its life. Fabulous job!
You wonder what "improvements" they rejected before deciding that faux brick wallpaper was the best idea!
@rosehughes599 😂😂😂😂😂😂💩😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you 🤩
You didn’t see the upright piano my mom painted and wallpapered in the early ‘70s…
@@janvafa9959 share that gem please 😂😂😂
"I've always wanted a glasstop vanity with faux brick sides and fire engine red drawers!" said nobody, ever.
Lovely restoration of a furniture abomination.
The fact thatmit existed means that ONE nutjob said it....
You gave this piece its dignity back. I imagine that Travis, wherever he may be, is grateful to you. Gorgeous! just enough brass accents to set this beautiful desk off.
“Dignity” -perfectly said!
🤩
Walnut, walnut, walnut. I am sooo tired of it. I like these restorers, but honestly, have a little imagination!! Does anyone ever. Like any OTHER kind of wood or wood veneer??!! 😖
@@aaabbb8812 Lay down if you’re tired 💁🏻♂️ diet change perhaps?
@@Flippingdrawers Well said! (maybe they should cut dairy from their diet?) 😉🤣
Anywho, I love what you did and blends very well with the rest of that room. This piece is stunning!
If I had to pick a project that encapsulated how much you've grown as a furniture artist...this would be it! I love everything about this desk! Wonderful work my friend!
awwww so kind of you Emily 🤩 thanks 😻
I do not care what style it is, this came out beautifully! It was a real eyesore to begin with, but your TLC brought it new life!
Now that is what i call COOL! The floating top with the front painted black is very effective. Excellent craftsmanship. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you kindly! 😊
I've read through a lot of the Comments and everything I wanted to say has been said already Jay. So, Congratulations on yet another Masterful Makeover, and I hope you do well in the challenge. A win would be so well deserved.
Much appreciated 🥰
I binged all 13. I’m torn between your project and Restorogy’s, both are exceptionally well done. Thanks for spearheading this, what a great way to spend my last day of being 59!
Thank you and yes I think Matt did a cracking job @restorolory
I agree, I am torn between these two as well.
I was voting for @Flippingdrawers until he removed the brick paper. I would have left it on for the win! 😉😅
The brass rod supports were genius, and look like they’ve always been there. A desk is a much more useful piece of furniture than a vanity. When you first put the top on, I was thinking it didn’t look very mid century, and said to myself, “those edges need to be beveled”…and seconds later that’s what you said! I didn’t think of edging in black, but you’re right - it makes it look thinner, and echos the black at the base. Great piece!
😊 Glad you liked it , Thank you
We had a stereo cabinet from the 70s made of MDF covered in veneer with black edging. This is so much cooler.
This turned out SO well. The black beveled edge was a choice decision. My desk is an old kitchen table. I'm jealous now. 😂
Well, Ive seen comments saying that your dresser was one of the favourites in this challenge so there's that 🤩 and if it works 💁🏼♂️😂
I remember the 60's and 70's very well. Most of it is best not remembered - a lot of avocado green and shag orange carpets that made me ill, even back then. But this is what the best designers were aiming for; a futuristic look with clean lines and functionality. This would look at home in a bay on the S.S. Enterprise! Very well done!
The shag carpeting was excellent when playing with little plastic horses, especially the green carpet. Prarie as far as the tiny toy horses could see😂
Thank you 🖖🏼😂
I remember all the green and orange and dark brown! My parent's bedroom was dark blue shag - thank goodness they didn't have shag all over the house!
I don't know...not sure this would go well with the aesthetic on a space ship. Wait, wrong Enterprise? 🤔🖖🏾
@@Restorology 😂😂😂😂
As a mid century lover, I have to admit that you did a fabulous job on this piece, but I also loved the original dresser too. The floating glass shelf was killer imo. None the less I do like the desk and I know you did this for your own personal piece and that's what matters..
Yes, this is beautiful but I really thought the floating glass was KEY & I’d assumed he’d keep that.
That’s lovely! It looks so different now without the paint and wallpaper, with the lovely brass details! You’ve done an amazing job ❤🇬🇧
😻
Omgosh it is absolutely gorgeous! You are beginning to make me think maybe mid century modern is actually my vibe. Love it! ❤
Love the brass "supports" you added under the desk top
I love the one thousand years later - an eternity later 😅😅 great job 👍👍👍
Thank you so much 😀
The brass rods are perfect. Yes, the black edging was the right choice. Since I grew up with MCM, I don't care for it. But you truly shocked me with the amazing upgrade on it. Glad Hugo was there as your cheerleader to lift your spirits in the tough spots. Now off to see the rest of the lineup.
much appreciated 😻
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL . Travis had his vision and you elevated it to it's perfection.
ha ha 💪🏼thank you
Jay, that is one of the most beautiful desks I’ve seen! Everything about it is perfect!!!
🥹
I like the black apron smart The creation is as usual amazing
That is one unique desk. Perfect for you, Jay. So many techniques were used on the desk. I realized at the end that there was space for objects under the desktop, on top of the drawer boxes. So much stylish storage space and worktop space.
Thanks so much! and yes , I love it
You would never realize this was ever that design abomination someone "transformed" a fairly nice vanity into - very well and nicely done, with a modern interpretation of MCM. I think the elevated desk top is genius as it definitely gives an intentionally airy look to this piece. The brass posts were a nice touch too!
Thank you 🤩
Oh, WOW! That’s beautiful! No one would even know it’s the same piece! Bravo!
It looks nothing like where you started. Thank goodness! Just beautiful. I can't wait to watch all of the rest of the videos.
😻
Hard to believe this is even the same piece, there is such a huge transformation. Stunning work!
Thank you very much!
Jay, you’ve outdone yourself on this one! BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Thanks so much!
WOW. It looks amazing. I'm so glad you kept the original handles and legs. You've given them a new lease of life in themselves as well as being kept as an original feature. Another great project.
This is brilliant! Thank you for giving this lovely thing a better life. Whomever wrecked it needs to take a long, hard look at their life choices.
😂😂😂I will tell the that 😂 and thank you 🙏
Looks great! And I LOVE seeing these restorations actually being useful pieces rather that just pretty decor "fillers." Great job!!!
The attention to detail is incredible. Massive success!
🥰
I love your very meticoulous way of working. Never taking the short cut, never brushing over imperfections, but working away until it is as perfect as it can get. I love what you did with the floating top and the black rim, suits a computerdesk very well. And I really love your quiet way of working and talking in the voice over. You are my favorite furniture restauring channel. I have watched you working away on the curbside and now look at your setuo!
Шикарный стол получился! Вы великий труженик и умелый мастер! Браво!!!❤
Wow! Wow! Wow! Absolutely stunning!
Thank you so much!
Ugly duckling turned into a gorgeous swan. Wow Jay beautiful. Well done
🥰🤩
You've done it again - a spectacular transformation!
Thank you! Cheers!
Oh wow! This is stunning! Great transformation !
Omg, Jay.... You definitely worked your magic on this one. What was once the absolute most ugliest piece of furniture in the world, is now the most stunning! Extremely gorgeous job! 😊❤
Wow, thank you!
Wow! The walnut colour really made all the difference. The end results was AMAZING! 🥰😍❤
Thanks so much 😊
I love how you paid attention to spacial dimensions and design. You truly hit the wow factor!! Well done.
Beautiful transformation!
Thank you! 😊
I love watching the beautiful original woods appearing as you remove all the excess paint and other finishes. You then sympathetically treat and rebuild each piece and they always look fabulous. Thank you for saving these amazing pieces of furniture - you have so many skills.
Thank you very much!
What an absolute treasure that desk is now. Wonderful job!!!!
I agree 🤩
AMAZING JOB restoring that vanity, you are a real perfectionist! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
A TRULY MAGNIFICENT MID CENTURY MODERN REMAKE REMODEL PIECE...WELL DONE
!!!
🤩
@coloredcaboosecreations NAILED IT!! I wish I could vote for her, like other build-off challenges on RUclips.
Thank you for setting this up! I was fortunate enough to add 4-5 new subscriptions to VERY talented people!!
Thank you so much!!
Wow what a great redo! Absolutely beautiful
Beautiful! I love the tiny brass supports in the front. Excellent touch!
Great job! I enjoyed doing this challenge with you all! 🎉
Thanks Anders 🙂 the pleasure is mine 😉
Wow... what a transformation! Absolutely stunning! ❤
It's a pleasure to watch you restoring.
Congratulations Jay, on your outstanding skills!
Wow! You sure did this piece justice! Well done
It is glorious! I have to say that you caught the spirit of the sixties perfectly. So so well done. Chapeau!
Thank you so much 😀
Jay, if this desk doesn't win this competition, I'll eat my hat!!! (Don't worry, I don't even own a hat.) This is probably the best makeover I've ever seen. Kudos to you, and your brilliance! I absolutely LOVE this desk....and I know you will enjoy it for a very long time.
so kind of you 🤩 thank you 🙏
Well that’s an improvement ❤
Definitely mid-century, and exquisite! I don't blame you for keeping it for yourself. What a masterpiece!
Amazing! The ugly duck became a beautiful swan. Great job!
LOVE IT!!!!!!! It’s just beautiful love the floating top in the brass accents!
Thank you so much!!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!! So amazing, what a stunning desk, Great Job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much!
Eyesore to Fabulous! I love the finished desk. Mid-century is not usually my favourite period for furniture, but this piece after all your love and care is a stunner. ❤
Love result, Hugo, and the birds in your yard are amazing to hear 🌟
So glad you kept the brass legs. They're way cool. Mid-century modern... Maybe. I'm no expert. It looks VERY modern and beautiful to me. I hope it will be very useful for you. Good luck with the competition.
Glad you like them! Thanks ☺️
Table looks amazing. I hope the desk serves you well. 🎉
Another major win! Congratulations on a superior and well-designed product!
😻
Dude!!!!! I want this!!!! Just beautiful!!! ❤❤❤❤
Ha ha thanks 🤩
One of the pleasures of watching you work is the neatness of your shop--it can't be easy to keep it looking tidy. I'm not usually a MCM fan, but I love everything about this project and you've done your usual excellent job. The design of the desk top edge is perfect and the brass legs and fittings look fantastic. (Great camera work, too, btw.)
Wow, thanks!🤩
Wow! Fantastic job!
Absolutely perfect. So glad you kept it! It’s a treasure. And you did great with your new camera. You’ve got it down.
Thanks so much!
What a transformation. Absolutely love it.
I’m telling you this is the most stunning transformation I’ve seen! You brought this MC vanity back from the dead & turned it into a Beautiful Desk! My Husband who is sadly no longer with us, was a master craftsman woodworker he is applauding you too! Your workshop is the most organized I’ve seen amongst all the YT contributors & I love it! Great job & thank you for not painting this beautiful wood I love the brass tub😂es you used to enhance the floating look & the tasteful black edge to the desk top making it look thinner.. Blessings from Dozer Butter Bean & me in Texas, USA
Awesome restoration, and so much more purposeful. You do beautiful work, Jay. ♥
Thank you very much!
Wow! Fabulous! Excellent MCDesign upgrade.
Beautiful restoration that honors the origional design and artistry of the piece!
So beautiful!!! Beveling the edges and painting it black is brilliant. So is moving the support to the rear - it really does look like the top is floating. I love the lines of this desk/vanity. The final product is a thing of elegant, beautiful simplicity. You are a very skilled artisan.
I haven't finished watching and have not read any comments yet. I am predicting a desk with shelves. That's all I can think of, other than 2 separate nightstands so I can't wait to see!
Wow!!!! That turned out so awesome!!!! Love it, and it's a desk and a beautiful one at that!
👏
🥰 thank you 😉
I love the transformation on this vanity into a beautiful desk. 🙂
Stunning result!!!! Amazing how you started with the most uninspiring piece of furniture and turned it into a beautiful and modern desk!
This has to be one of the most amazing transformations I’ve ever seen. It’s now a truly gorgeous piece of furniture!
🥹🤩🙏
It really was a beast, but as usual, you've done an outstanding job on it! It's much lighter and airier than I thought possible, based on its original incarnation. Stunning work, and thanks for sharing Hugo with us!
😻 thank you 🤩
Great job Jay!
I love the brass in the front! It puts the icing on the cake! This one is one of my favorites as well. Beautiful!
Pure art. That desk is one of a kind.
Just stunning!
Holy cow.....that came out beautifully❤! Good choices. Outstanding 🎉
Love the desk, so glad you are keeping it!
Beautiful work it’s perfect love the brass supports on the desk you win hands down !🇬🇧❤️😁
🥰
Stunning! Love the beveled top and the touch of brass.
Absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! Fantastic job, Jay!
You won this challenge with this piece, no doubt about it! ❤❤❤
🤩🙏
Once again, congrats! Such a beautiful change!
A friend from southern France once called a former design in a house before I refinished it with him as You Glee. Spell I said. UGLY,says he. This was the thing before. Now your best companion is Magnifique! I thank you for believing the image you had. And Hugo for his constant help encouraging us all.
Outstanding. Not only are you a talented wood crafter, but can think creatively.
Stunning!
Wow! That is awesome!
Beautiful turnout. All of the projects on MCM are so nice. Your desk is my favorite. I love seeing these old pieces given a new life. Thank you for sharing. Give Hugo a few extra cuddles.
Thanks so much!
My goodness I can see why it’s one of your favorite projects! It’s beautiful and like all mid century modern pieces, it’s simply lovely. ❤
Thank you so much! 💛
Your new desk is beautiful. You’re a very skilled & talented artist/craftsman and I enjoy watching you rescue furniture from the trash and reimagining it’s use. Thank you for your channel 😊
This is a remarkable rescue. It looks very smart and very useful, which you attest to by taking it into your own home. I like Hugo also, as cats add a sensible down-to-earth vibe in a loving way.
You are so kind
Ah, Jay, your creative bent always shines through! None of us could have guessed what the final reveal would be. The color is spot on for MCM, and the floating table top gives tons of eye candy appeal. You're a lucky guy to have this for your new desk. Many thanks to you and to Hugo, your General Manager. Cheers from Oklahoma!!!
Thank you 🤩🐾
Wonderful job Travis! I wanted grey carpet in the early 70’s. Everyone thought I was nuts. The ‘floating’ top is very much of the 60’s/70’s and emphasizes those clean futuristic looks. I will admit I am not quite sure how you could see the finished desk in that brick papered horror, but that must be your inner artist showing up. Great job, very interesting video and thanks so much for this channel.
Who is Travis? 😂 Glad you enjoyed 😉
Beautiful as always ❤
Fantastic job. As always Jay, you've turned something so bad into something so beautiful. It always amazes me. You're an inspiration👌💝
Wow, thank you! This was such a cool project 🤩
