I wonder if you ever think “that will do, it’s close enough “. No, you are such a perfectionist. The miracle that you work on all your pieces is heartwarming. I wish that I had your skill, patience and determination to see that any restoration with my name on it is suitable to fit in a stately home or a palace. Everything that I have seen you do would not look out of place in the very best of houses. Good thing you have Daisy to keep you up to scratch.
Dear God what a difference!!!!! My Gran used to say " Your trying to make a silk purse from a pigs ear". Well, you did just that!!! Absolutely beautiful 🤗
Talk about going from trash to treasure! This was a phenomenal transformation!!!! The wood grain on this piece is fantastic!! Good show! Thanks to Daisy for a generous dose of "puppy love"! ❤
Holy cow, look at the grain on that!! What a wonderful restoration! This looks absolutely wonderful! I’m so glad you picked this piece to restore. And pet Daisy for me for making me smile!😊❤😊❤
Another reminder that you can't tell a book by its cover. Thanks for having the patience to revive this gorgeous dresser. It will bring so much beauty to the world.
Have mercy! Wonder how many people’s lives resemble this dresser? Let’s hope someone near them gives them as much care as you just gave this piece of furniture. Thanks for caring and for doing your best on something others chose to throw out as trash.
Daisy is so cute to watch - I love the way she tosses her head when she barks! Obviously, she is great company for you. The chest looks really beautiful - saved to grace another home!
Nothing short of miraculous. Who would have guessed at the beautifully crafted veneer pattern buried beneath? You helped rediscover the craftsmanship of artisans long gone, once more to live on in memory. You have done more than restore a piece of furniture, you have paid tribute to bygone artists.
At first, I had to laugh at the string ‘drawer pulls’ and at Daisy’s antics, along with the ducks just being ducks- and I completely understand the time it takes to work up the sanding grit- it does take 2,000 years, but the transformation was just phenomenal! That gorgeous wood grain! I was also happy to see that you use Titebond Hide Glue! And I appreciate how you explain your repairs and items that you use! Still cannot get over the final result- I’m certain it’ll bring in a pretty penny! The true definition of “Trash to Treasure!” Bravo, David! 👏👍💖🌟
I love everything about it. Lot of work and it is gorgeous. Who would have thought that wonderful wood pattern was there. Good job on the hardware too.
Everyone of these channels within the "Trash Challenge " is the New 🏆 winner. You are now another strong 💪 contender. Isn't the grain outstanding on the drawer fronts? OMG. Thank you for your video today. ❤
Bravo! What an amazing transformation, that veneer really shines through now. Just a little disappointed that you chose not to refurbish and use the string drawer pulls!! 😇
I barely have words to describe your work on this piece of furniture. I am in awe of your craftsmanship and patience. Just totally brilliant. Love the result!
What a transformation... Look at that grain, it's absolutely stunning!! You've really outdone yourself this time, and gave this piece a brand new life. Well done you!! 😍
It’s simply amazing to me the amount of care given to correcting the imperfections. A beautiful thing has reemerged from the rubbish. It’s a metaphor for life really. With love, care, and a commitment to compassion the patchwork on our souls becomes less noticeable and beauty shines through.
You definitely had your work cut out for you, but you did an amazing transformation! She is a stunner, and the hardware just finishes it all off so beautifully. You and Jay really chose absolute trash to repair 😂 Miss Daisy is just the cutest. A real sassy madam who is very vocal about her wishes. Gorgeous! Best of luck with the challenge. Greetings from Germany ❤
This really was a trash to treasure piece. I don't know if the original looked this good, but it came out beautiful. The new hardware choice was great.
What really completes your work for me is that you take the time to bring back the inside of the cabinet and drawers. The unseen parts that do the work, compared to the outer eye-candy. Thanks. Narragansett Bay
I'm stunned. Talk about diamond in the muck! The wood grain is breathtaking. Incredible job saving such a piece. I'm so happy that you gave it a new life. I'm certain the original builders are very happy with you. Well done David!!
This is absolutely gorgeous! Good job, you! Talk about a diamond in the rough. I've now watched several "It's Literally Trash Challenge" videos, and by far yours is the best result. I'd buy this beautiful old bureau from you in a heartbeat if I was in England.
You managed to make a lightweight piece look like a million! The glow up of the wood when you add the Feed-n-Wax is just amazing. Love the vintage hardware, too. Well done!
Simply am in awe of the stunning restoration! But, your accent, your gregarious attitude and personality, accepting the challenges to the situation before you, and taking it all in stride with a charming nonchalant ease and competence, makes the video exceptionally enjoyable to watch. Well Done and the finished piece looks beautiful.
Wow Lauren, your comment is really lovely and very much appreciated. I know I talk a lot and some people say too much but I am who I am and just ask my wife, I can’t stop talking 😂😂😂❤️❤️
Thank you for caring enough to restore this chest to its original glory; I hope its new owner cares for it accordingly. Just discovered your channel a couple weeks ago. Happy to follow and support a good person who loves dogs and ducks!
It is so nice that there are skilled people like you who care enough to bring back the beauty and usefulness of such wrecked furniture pieces like this. It turned out absolutely lovely!
Absolutely fantastic I particularly enjoyed you repairing veneer and watching a master at work as the before and afters are spectacular it really is . I suffer from bouts of severe depression and struggled up with my 2 wee dogs and watching everything plus Daisy is therapeutic and helps me so much . Thank you . Eva from Scotland
Thanks so much Eva, that’s very kind of you. It’s so nice to hear that watching my videos helps you and I know how important it is to make time to decompress as I’ve also had bad anxiety for many years. You take care and keep those wee dogs close, they’re the best medicine 😀🐶🐶🐶❤️❤️❤️
Gorgeous! Veneering is a lost art. It's a myth that it was only intended to cover cheap wood. It also turned a furniture piece into a "painting" with wood grains. Kudos to the yesteryear companies that manufactured extra fancy veneers for furniture making.
Oh my gosh!!! What you did with this piece of trash is nothing short of miraculous! It's stunning! I absolutely love what you have done with it! The grain pattern is so beautiful. I wish I could give you 100 Likes on this piece, but alas, I can only do one. Congrats on a job extremely well done!!!!
Oh my goodness! What an extraordinarily beautiful piece! You did a fabulous job on this restoration and your hours of hard work paid off! Simply gorgeous! ❤
People just don’t know what they have do they? This is a hundred year old antique chest of drawers with the most beautiful grain. Thank goodness for these challenges that you take on. 👏👏
Thank you so much 😀 Daisy doesn’t bother with the ducks, she just walks past them, she is the most laid back dog I’ve ever had. Such a gentle pooch 😀🐶🦆❤️
David, I can't say I don't know how you managed to make that piece of junk into a piece of furniture anyone would be proud to display in their home, because I witnessed it, but all the same, what you did is astounding! Only someone with a true love of the craft could achieve what you do time after time. Love watching you work :-D
I wonder if you ever think “that will do, it’s close enough “. No, you are such a perfectionist. The miracle that you work on all your pieces is heartwarming.

Wow Pamela, you always say such lovely things about my work and I hope you know how much I appreciate your support. Thanks so much 😀🐶❤️❤️
What a love job. Loved the way you finished the inside. Made it beautiful. Keep up the good work.
😀❤️
That was probably one of the kindest comments I have ever read. Just lovely.
It is simply magnificent work.
Dear God what a difference!!!!! My Gran used to say " Your trying to make a silk purse from a pigs ear". Well, you did just that!!! Absolutely beautiful 🤗
That’s lovely of you to say, thanks very much 😀😀
Don’t remember if I left a comment or not 😂 that was a lot of work my friend but well worth the beautiful result. Nice work 💪🏻
Thanks buddy 😀❤️
Talk about going from trash to treasure! This was a phenomenal transformation!!!! The wood grain on this piece is fantastic!! Good show!
Thanks to Daisy for a generous dose of "puppy love"! ❤
Thank you very much!😀🐶❤️

Thanks and will do Racheal. 😀🐶❤️
Another reminder that you can't tell a book by its cover. Thanks for having the patience to revive this gorgeous dresser. It will bring so much beauty to the world.
Glad you liked it, thanks very much 😀😀
You never know what you'll find if you're willing to look for potential where others only see trash!
Agreed 👍
Oh, I'm so glad you restored it. It turned out so lovely.
Thank you! 😊
The way the veneer matched down the front was just beautiful... Daisy has got competition with the duckies!!!!
🤣🤣🦆🦆🦆🦆🐶❤️❤️
Have mercy! Wonder how many people’s lives resemble this dresser? Let’s hope someone near them gives them as much care as you just gave this piece of furniture. Thanks for caring and for doing your best on something others chose to throw out as trash.
Yes, Jay says that on really tough cases!😂
Thanks so much 😀❤️
It kinda makes me sad someone treated such a pretty piece so badly.
Thank you for rescuing such a lovely lady. (You did good!)
Thanks 🤩
After so much abuse that piece of furniture received a new life. You certainly found it's former beauty, that woodgrain is stunning. Awesome job!
Thanks very much😀😊
That grain is so beautiful--who would have thought it would be hidden under all that dirt and paint--a beautiful restoration almost like witchcraft!
😀😀 Thanks Sue 👍👍
Elegant. Willing to bet that it's more beautiful now that when it was brand new. Beautiful patina. The hardware is perfect
Thank you very much!😃
Could’ve ever predicted the beauty underneath all of that trash. It’s absolutely gorgeous. Thank you.
😀❤️
Daisy is so cute to watch - I love the way she tosses her head when she barks! Obviously, she is great company for you. The chest looks really beautiful - saved to grace another home!
😊 thank you. Daisy is a great companion although a little distracting 🤣🤣🐶❤️
Gobsmacked. That grain. All of it. Wow.
Thanks ❤️
The beauty wasn't visible until you did this awesome restoration, David. And hello to sweet Daisy and the cute little duckies❤❤❤❤😊
Thanks Myra 😀🐶🦆❤️❤️
Astounding! I can’t believe how beautiful you’ve made this trashed piece. The grain is gorgeous!
Thank you very much!😀
Nothing short of miraculous. Who would have guessed at the beautifully crafted veneer pattern buried beneath? You helped rediscover the craftsmanship of artisans long gone, once more to live on in memory. You have done more than restore a piece of furniture, you have paid tribute to bygone artists.

Thanks so much Doris, that’s really kind of you 😀🐶❤️
I'm amazed that the veneer was in as good shape as that, after all the abuse!
The old finish definitely protected it 😀👍
I love everything about it. Lot of work and it is gorgeous. Who would have thought that wonderful wood pattern was there. Good job on the hardware too.
Thank you very much!😀❤️

All the challengers did a lovely job. Thanks for supporting us all 😀❤️
I see all these people painthing their pieces of furniture. I hate paint. This is absolutely stunning!!!
You are so clever to see through the horrible mess and envision what was underneath. And then to bring it back to beauty!
Thanks so much 😀😀
That was definitely worth saving, very beautiful.
Thank you.
Thanks 😀
Amazing difference. You would never know it's the same piece
Thanks Sheila 😀😀
Awesome job, David.
Thanks very much 😀
WOW. Just…wow. Thank you for saving this gorgeous piece!!
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching 😀😀
To say I'm absolutely "Gobsmacked" would be an understatement! Absolutely stunning restore!!!!❤
That’s very kind, thanks 😀😀
Wow! Amazingly beautiful piece! Love the handles you chose!
Thank you so much!😀
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!
Thank you!!😀❤️
Wow! I would not have imagined that would have turned out so awesome! Beautiful job!
Thank you! 😊
What a gorgeous piece - literally from trash to treasure! I enjoyed this transformation immensely!!
Wow! The split screen was brilliant, loved it! Magnificent job you did!
Haha I’m trying to learn new editing tricks 😀😀
Bravo! What an amazing transformation, that veneer really shines through now. Just a little disappointed that you chose not to refurbish and use the string drawer pulls!! 😇
Ha!!!
Thanks, I tried shining the string up on my bench bench polisher but just couldn’t get the shine I wanted 😂😂😂
@@MayfieldRestorations 😂
I barely have words to describe your work on this piece of furniture. I am in awe of your craftsmanship and patience. Just totally brilliant. Love the result!
That’s really kind, thanks so much 😀😀❤️
That front grain! 😮
😀❤️
What a transformation... Look at that grain, it's absolutely stunning!! You've really outdone yourself this time, and gave this piece a brand new life. Well done you!! 😍
Thank you so much!😀❤️
Absolutely stunning so glad you kept it alive they just do not make furniture like this anymore ❤️
I totally agree! 😀❤️
Amazing. Love the grain and colour. Beautiful work.
Thank you so much 😀
Outstanding job 👏
Thank you so much 😀
I have no words to say how beautiful your work was. As we say here in Brazil: YOU KILLED IT! Congratulations .
Thanks so much Pablo, that’s really kind of you 😀😀👍👍
@@MayfieldRestorations You deserve it because of your work. A hug straight from Minas Gerais Brazil.
Oh my goodness. Just watch flippingdrawers! You guys are making it hard to choose! Beautifully done!😊
Thanks so much! 😊Let’s call it a tie 😂😂❤️
That ended up absolutely gorgeous.
😀❤️
It’s simply amazing to me the amount of care given to correcting the imperfections. A beautiful thing has reemerged from the rubbish. It’s a metaphor for life really. With love, care, and a commitment to compassion the patchwork on our souls becomes less noticeable and beauty shines through.

Thanks so much. Daisy was very vocal that day for some reason. She can be a little minx sometimes 😂😂🐶❤️
Stunning! ❤️
Thank you! 😊
You certainly got all your ducks in a row on this one, David! Very nice
I see what you did there 😂😂😂🦆👍
The hardware is perfect. NO ONE would believe it was the same chest! Great job my friend.❤
You did an awesome job!
Thank you so much!😀
Very impressive that you saw the value in that mess!! Gorgeous!!
Thanks 😀
Incredibly beautiful--I love your work!
Thank you so much!😀😀

Hard to imagine why someone would treat a dresser with such beautiful veneer so badly. You brought out it’s true beauty.
Thanks 😀😀
I'm stunned. Talk about diamond in the muck! The wood grain is breathtaking. Incredible job saving such a piece. I'm so happy that you gave it a new life. I'm certain the original builders are very happy with you. Well done David!!
Thank you very much!😀😀
The difference is mind blowing!
Thanks very much 😀
Wow! You took this piece from trash to treasure. It’s amazing and beautiful.🎉👏🏽☺️

It's remarkable how you take something that by looking at it is should go in the trash heap😢 and give it many more uses😊👍
Thanks very much 😀
Cheers to you Daisy for making David so happy he couldn't help but create this work of art from its trashed state, cheers David!!!🥰😘💕👍👍💪🐕🐕🦆🦆
She certainly does make me laugh Frances. She made 🤣🤣🐶❤️❤️
Really a remarkable transformation. A lot of work for certain but what a great result.
Many thanks!😀😀
One just word? It's a beauty! The look that you renewed on this chest of drawers is priceless. I adore your work. 🥰
That’s very kind, thanks so much 😀❤️
I chuckled along with you David! This was a real piece of art from literally nothing! And the handles were perfect. You are very talented. 👍🤩
You’re very kind d to say that, thanks so much 😀❤️

Absolutely stunning!
Hopefully 😀😀
Beautiful 😍

Beautiful job. Very pretty piece.
Thank you very much!😀
When you were choosing which colour of stain I was shouting Walnut!! Walnut!! and I was so pleased when you chose walnut. YES!!
I must have heard you subconsciously 😂😂😂
Another solid restore and given the state and veneer damage, this turned out so good. As long as Daisy approved then this is a winner.
She gave it a thumbs up Angus 🤣🐶👍
Wow, it looks spectacular! Especially the wood grain on the front. Gorgeous.
Thank you very much!😀😀
It's amazing how beautiful that piece is. You did an absolutely fantastic job.
Thank you so much 😀
Just wow!

WOW What an Incredible Transformation, You should be Incredibly Proud of Yourself 😊🎉
That’s very kind, thanks very much 😀😀
Beautifully done! It was good that you had some new old hardware…string just wasn’t going to do it!
Thanks, I wanted to restore the string but it was just to far gone 😂😂😂👍
What a stunning transformation!😲
