This transformation just deeply touched my heart! I could see how much you and your wife must truly love each other with every careful attention to detail you did, and with her complete trust in you. I was already loving this video from the Get-Go (and of course, Daisy!) but I was not prepared for the final result! Even tho it’s mainly MDF- this desk is fit for royalty! As I’m certain Emma well deserves! Absolutely gorgeous! 👏👍🌟🤘💖
What a really lovely and beautiful comment. That is so kind of you to say and you’ve hit the nail on the head, Emma is my world and Daisy of course 😀🐶❤️❤️
There's nothing more precious than a gift that someone has put their hands to, whether it's a bouquet from the gaarden, a homemade cake or a painting. This is certainly a special gift to someone special to you. Happy Belated Birthday to your lovely wife. Kisses to Daisy as well.
I have to say, I was more than a bit skeptical until I saw how that blue made the wood on the drawers absolutely GLOW -- they look positively lit from within! And the copper touches against the blue ... one of my very favorite combinations. Absolutely lovely.
That's the first time I've ever seen leather refinished on a piece. The dye process was very interesting. Thanks, David, for sharing your present to Emma. She must be thrilled with it.
I am gobsmacked at your superb transformation. It looks so beautiful and you certainly wouldn’t guess it was mostly MDF/Chipboard. You have put such a lot of care and attention into this desk and I am sure your wife is thrilled with it! Can’t wait for the next restoration!
I was skeptical when you were painting the desk. I'm a firm believer in natural wood finishes but, I think you may have changed my mind. That was the most stunning refurbishing on an old desk that I've seen to date. Bravo and brilliantly done. I hope your lovely wife enjoys it! New ideas for my old desk...thank you.
I didn't know a redyed leather top would look this great... I always learn something new & helpful in your vlogs. Long hours of work & attention to every detail has turned this once scruffy piece into a very handsome desk that deserves pride of place in Emma's new office. Another great vlog, David 🙏 Thank you, Emma, for the roles you play in bringing this to us. You're both very appreciated.
What a beautiful desk. I’m sure your wife Emma fell in love with it. You can see the love you have for her put into it. Thank you so much for sharing.😊
Absolutely stunning. As I was looking at the final reveal I found myself shaking my head and saying to myself, “Perfect.” I love love love that blue and all the contrasts in colors and textures. Also hearing how much love you and your wife have for each other makes this old heart happy. Well done in every way. 👍
It's a beautiful restoration. That shade of blue is stunning. You can see how much you care for your wife with how much love you put into this restoration. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🫶
Dave your wife is a very lucky woman. The desk is very lovely. She should be very happy with it. The walnut stain is so nice against the blue and the copper accents are the “cherry on top.” Thanks for sharing your labor of love.
A true labor of love. I really like how the blue contrasts with the wood and copper trim and hardware. It’s lovely and I’m sure your wife will enjoy it for many years.
That blue with the wood is stunning. I personally love a bit of painted wood (or in this case, MDF) when it's appropriate - it means I can move furniture around the house and give it a new life when I want a change. And if I want it wood again I can strip it off. It means I very rarely buy new furniture but my house changes to suit me. If it keeps furniture out of landfill then I say go for it.
Thanks very much Sue, thats my exact same philosophy. I'll do whatever I can to stop these old pieces of furniture being dumped. Some people don't like paint and thats ok. Life would be boring if we were all the same 😃😃❤️
The hardware color and the gilding wax on the edge pieces looks so good against the wood grain and that blue! 😊❤. I am sure she will be so happy with it!! Pets to Daisy! 😊❤❤
Hi David, long time no comment, I have to say I was skeptical at the beginning and for some time during the process but the finished product looks brilliant, absolutely brilliant, thanks for the Daisy part but I do think you give her rump rather a sharp slap, I know it would hurt me even though she seems to take no notice of it, anyway, cheers for that wonderful transformation, I know I would love a desk so grand, xxx🥰😘💕👌👍👍👍👍🐕🐕🐕
Hi Frances. Thanks so much. I thought me slapping Daisys bum might get some comments 🤣 She cant feel it, she's got a big booty 🤣 Emma loves her new desk 😃❤️
You r wife must be over the moon! It turned out so lovely! I really love the color of the wood and the copper accents- it goes so well with that pretty blue. Nice job,David. Hi Daisy!
You gave this dated and tired beauty a modern, elegant makeover and the result is stunning! All the best to your dear wife, she will enjoy your efforts.
In the 80’s the height of fashion my mum had pieces like this. It looks fabulous in its new guise. Furniture is still made in these styles but is mostly sprayed in a uniform colour.
I think this turned out brilliantly! The copper/walnut/blue are beautifully harmonious together and I like the solution for that bit of added height. Haters gonna hate, but this is a great looking functional piece.
My dad was sometimes bad about doing things for other people to the detriment of our house. Mom always said the best way to get him to do something for her was to start doing it herself. This is a beautiful piece and obviously a labor of love.
As usual an immaculate result. Your skill, artistic flair and determination to produce something that ii is a joy to see never fails. Your pursuit of perfection is a joy to watch. I love the warmth with which you spoke of Emma, another joy to watch. Daisy, as always, delights. I am so looking forward to your next posting.
For precision sanding I use a Delta Sander, it doesnot rotate, just swings. And I protect the faces I do not want to damage with a “Naked” cork sanding bloc. (at 13:00 e.g.)
It's absolutely gorgeous, you've done amazing (as usual) it looks stunning with the blue paint and bronze hardware. I'm sure Emma loves it. Nice to see Daisy supervising quality control. Xx

It's lovely and the blue is unusual, I'd call it a french navy. A lovely surprise for your wife. 😊
Thanks very much 😀😀
What a transformation! You really managed to turn something a bit naff, into something classy. Fantastic job.
Thanks Cheryl 😀😀

That’s a great comment, thanks so much. I love restoring but I also love how you can transform some pieces with an injection of colour 😀👍

Also hearing how much love you and your wife have for each other makes this old heart happy. Well done in every way. 👍
Love it. The blue paint and metal paint gave the desk, IMHO, a nautical vibe. ⚓️🫶😊
Glad you liked it 😀😀👍
Absolutely amazing..I'm sure Emma was delighted with the end results..I know I would have been.
She loves her desk 😀❤️
You did a wonderful job on it and I think your wife will like it too! Thank you!

Great job; I like seeing how much better you can make a modest piece with a little imagination and skilled implementation.
Thanks 😀👍
Great job David! It turned out amazing!
Thanks Jamie 😀👍
For precision sanding I use a Delta Sander, it doesnot rotate, just swings. And I protect the faces I do not want to damage with a “Naked” cork sanding bloc. (at 13:00 e.g.)
I do have a delta sander attachment for the Festool sander I was using but it tends to be more aggressive. Great idea using the cork block 😀👍
Wow!!! Gorgeous! I love the copper accents and hardware. ❤️🐕
Thank you! 😊
That little desk turned out beautifully!! ⭐️
Thank you!! 😊
Absolutely beautiful, the blue is a very nice touch. She's going to love it. Well done
Thanks so much 😃😃
Gorgeous! The wood and color contrast looks great!
