Agreed...the attention to detail esp. on small repairs is superb. A lot of this is hard earned knowledge with a splash of thinking 'outside the box.' She is a craftsman.
It's hard to put into words your craftsmanship from week to week Trena is just the best it's a joy watching you work and seeing the spin on How you want to do things to look ,How clever you are ,
Thanks for another great video. So nice to see this Scandi set returned to glory. And I can’t wait to get a peek of your new shop. I first subscribed because I lusted after your old shop. I forced my husband to watch your old opening sequence, saying “This woman is living my dream!” Truth is, I’m disabled so it is a pipe dream, but I played in that shop vicariously! So I’m expecting big things for the new one - no pressure!
I BET THAT THESE PIECES THAT COME IN TO YOUR SHOP BREATHE A SIGH OF RELIEF WHEN THEY SEE YOU, TRENA...KNOWING WHAT IS IN STORE FOR THEM. THEY WILL ONCE AGAIN BE BEAUTIFUL BY BEING TASTEFULLY RESTORED AND READY FOR ANOTHER BUNCH OF YEARS AND THEN SOME. CANNOT BELIEVE YOU ARE MOVING AGAIN, AND THEN AGAIN. WOW. CHEERS!
Not usually a fan of changing things, but I winced when I saw that green velour. When you said it was being replaced with a "new choice," I cheered. But then, I hate mid-century modern, so there is that. The new upholstery, on the other hand, looks a lot classier.
It never occurred to me that the screws were not original to the chairs. You are the professional, and I am the observer. Your solution to the screws is wise. I have no doubt when all is said and done, this project will be as lovely as any you have done in the past.
Started out with a beautiful dining set but now’s it’s stunning!. And that teak… 😋 yum! I know all those plugs were extra work for you but it really did make a huge difference! I’m sure your customer will see your video and really appreciate the above & beyond effort. I would. 😊 Good luck with the move!
@Trena~ What a stellar outcome! I love to listen and watch you work through each repair issue you come across....It's so insightful to understand the "how's & why's" you choose certain repair approaches! Thanks for always imparting such great information in each video! Cheers to you my friend! ~~Christy~~
... the moment I saw those mushroom plugs, I wondered if they were original. They, absolutely, wrecked the clean lines often associated with MCM design. Glad you fixed that issue. The flush plugs really just disappeared, allowing the form to be appreciated. As usual, great job! And your mom did a wonderful job on the upholstery. ❤
I worked for a company here in the UK that produced Teak furniture, this actual range was some 40 years old and was selling so well. Sadly the company has now closed, but you still see secondhand pieces for sale and fair to say Teak is such a great look. Top job bringing the table and chairs back to life.
¡Trena! ¡Trena! ¡Trena!🥳😊 Te has dejado extrañar, y apareces con un sorprendente trabajo. Creo que las imágenes dicen más que las palabras, toda la restauración se hizo y quedó donde debería hacerse. Te felicito por tus conocimientos sobre modelos de muebles y sus trascendencias, es muy importante el conocimiento para poder lograr una buena restauración y no cometer el error como se ve en aquellas sillas. Mis felicitaciones a tu señora madre por el hermoso trabajo de tapicería, ahora sé de dónde sacaste el don de combinar colores y texturas, mis respetos y saludos para ella. Bendiciones en tu nuevo proyecto de construir un nuevo taller. Éxitos, saludos y esperando por un nuevo video sobre tus proyectos.
A lot of detailed work for Trena and Mom, but what a result! The clean lines and the colour of the teak now revealed make the whole set into furniture to be proud of. Outstanding work!
BEAUTIFUL as always Trena! Your mom’s Upolstery is spot on. And your refinishing is stunning. Love the flush plugs! Totally awesome dining table and look forward to the buffet video!
You are professional beyond professional. No detail is too small for your customers or for the furniture. I love watching the way you work and the way you explain what you were doing. Thank you for explaining why you use 180 grit in some situations and 200grot in others. This is something I never quite understood. The way the underneath parts of the furniture are just as important to you as the top is just wonderful. So many amateur professionals, if there is such a thing , do not spend the time on the bottom just on the overall finish that you see. To me this is very irritating Thank you for your professionalism and the wonderful way you finish furniture. Your customers are very lucky to have you. .
Love this style of MCM furniture and love Eric Satie music. What a beautiful way to accompany my Sunday brunch salad. Relaxing and inspiring. Thank you Trenna ✨️ ❤
You were certainly right about how that veneer was going to pop with the satin lacquer. What a stunning result. And those pale plugs into the dark teak seemed impossible.. but you matched the plugs to the background beautifully. What a tremendously successful project.
Trena: absolutely beautiful! Can’t wait to see the buffet/ credenza restored. I do like the selection of fabric for the chair. It really updates the set. I wondered about your new workroom you mentioned awhile ago. Good to know you’re moving along with it. Carol from California
You took the unexpected “additional” work to the chairs in stride and made them much stronger for generations to come! Your mom’s work is top notch as well! Bravo to the team 👏🏽👏🏽
Lovely new look. The fabric is stylish, in keeping with the MCM look. Good luck on the shop move. Really looking forward to seeing the new spot and following your career journey
Nice for the customer that you can take their project and make it even better than they could have expected thanks to your understanding of furniture design. Fantastic, Trena!
Trena, great to hear about the progress on the new shop. The teak dining set is beautiful and looks better with the flush plugs and transparent finish.
Absolutely stunningly beautiful, both your work and your mom's, so very talented, both of you, each in your own right. So peaceful with your talking and the music. Thank you for such an enjoyable time.
The Wood Whisperer does it again 👍👏💪!! Turned out gorgeous. That mid century modern furniture is amazing and you've done it justice with the flush plugs. Well done 👍!!
I love this style too. As a child, I could watch "the Jetsons". It's funny, because these fine legs and the elypse-like seats reminds me of the furniture of this Comic. I loved it.
Your choices are perfect, as always, Trena! The result is so pretty. Your mom did a fantastic job covering the chairs. Great choice of fabric, although I have to admit I did like the turquoise velvet with the teak, but not many would. The black and white boucle is far more period appropriate. Thank you for sharing your expertise. i can't wait to see you work on the cabinetry! Also - good luck with a fast turn around on the new studio workshop! You must have missed your previous new workshop! I bet your dad doesn't realize how much he'll like the new place.
5/26/24..another great job on that Teak Modern style dining table. Those 6 chairs needed lots of specialized repair & upholstery work. All results perfect! Your Mom's choice of fabric & color was great! Your stripping table top & hot flat iron work resulted in 'factory new' condition! Beautiful warm light brown/redish-tan color looks super! Another great repair & color perfect finish! A+👍✅️😊🍷😊
I can't tell you how many times I've been stuck, and ask "What would Trena do?" Don't stress. Do something. If it was wrong, you can fix it. The more screws, the less wood, the weaker you made it. Boy, that's a pretty set! Danish Modern? ❤
I'm so glad you removed those metal buttons, they didn't look right at all. Teak modern was the thing back when I was young in England in the 60s and I still think it's beautiful. 🇨🇦. As ever, a very satisfying renovation by both you and your Mom. Looking forward to the new shop too. 🤗💕
I'm not a huge fan of MCM style furniture, but this is a really beautiful set. Excellent choice using the flush plugs to clean up the profile on the chairs. It makes a huge difference. Well Done.
Another fantastic "save", even though I'm not a fan of "Danish Modern". Absolutely agree that flush plugs is the "correct" look. To my eye, this style of furniture always looks structurally deficient, even if it does the job, like this table, with only four "thin" legs. I'm always for "overbuilt" rather than looking "underbuilt". Part of that is, historically, older buildings had timbers 2 or 3 sizes bigger than what modern scientific testing tell us is sufficient - which gives us a safe, "comfortable feeling". Anyway, thanks for bringing us along for the ride - can't argue with great results.😏
What I admire this channel for is 100% honest work, 0% influencer content. They way you solve problems is amazing.
Agreed...the attention to detail esp. on small repairs is superb. A lot of this is hard earned knowledge with a splash of thinking 'outside the box.' She is a craftsman.

Agreed! She conquers every challenge. A true master. 😎
This looks SO MUCH better! I am glad you chose the flush plugs.
What a beautiful set! I can see why your customer wanted it refurbished. You did an amazing job!
Thank you so much!
Thrilled to hear that the new shop is on the way! So happy for you! Thanks for sharing Trena. 🎶
Thanks so much
Your Mom is very talented too. Beautiful pieces.

Great work. Loved the new upholstery. Also loved the Satie music in the background.
Glad you enjoyed it

Thankyou! I know moving stressful lol
No need to shout! This is a friendly channel. Abuse is not welcome.
@@peterwest7855 I HAVE VERY POOR EYESIGHT, YOU FOOL. AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!
Love the modern style and the color of the finish beautifully shows off the lovely soft grain of the teak. You do such quality work!
Thank you very much!

That’s a gorgeous table and you’ve restored it beautifully. Your mums upholstery is excellent too. Xx
Thanks so much! 😊
Gorgeous ❤❤❤
Ok, I had to stop to comment 14:27 when I heard you playing Björk in the background. ❤
lol🥰
The manicure fingernails really set off the repair and refinish. 😁👍
lol they are looking really bad
You are right, this set is beautiful!! Another awesome restoration !!
Thanks again!

You got it!
Absolutely gorgeous set I love the new upholstery you did an awesome job thanks for sharing stay safe and God Bless you and your family
Thankyou!
You were certainly right about how that veneer was going to pop with the satin lacquer. What a stunning result. And those pale plugs into the dark teak seemed impossible.. but you matched the plugs to the background beautifully. What a tremendously successful project.
Thankyou!
That turned out wonderfully. Your plugs are awesome. They blend in so well. Your mother’s upholstery is beautiful.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the Satie. My sound track for wood working. Zen and the art of sanding.
I have a Satie channel on Pandora and on youtube. Sometimes, you just need some melancholy music, even when it's not raining.
Trena: absolutely beautiful! Can’t wait to see the buffet/ credenza restored. I do like the selection of fabric for the chair. It really updates the set.

Stunning and skilled craftswoman! Gorgeous work❤
You’re so kind. I love working with teak!

Lovely new look. The fabric is stylish, in keeping with the MCM look. Good luck on the shop move. Really looking forward to seeing the new spot and following your career journey

Good luck with your move!
Thanks a bunch!
Beautiful!! Love the color! Your Mom did a great Job on the chairs!

Wow, Erik Satie’s Gymnopédie #1. What a way to calm the soul. This is a magnificent job! Wow! I wish I lived in Canada.
Nice for the customer that you can take their project and make it even better than they could have expected thanks to your understanding of furniture design. Fantastic, Trena!
I personally have never liked MCM furniture, but as always you did a wonderful restoration. And your mom as well, beautiful job ladies.
Thank you
Glad your getting things inorder. Be cool to see your new shop. Love the teak table.
Thanks again!
I grew up with a table very similar to this one - fond memories.
Another master-class in furniture restoration. Bravo, Tren! Thanks from Amsterdam
Thank you very much!
Trena, great to hear about the progress on the new shop. The teak dining set is beautiful and looks better with the flush plugs and transparent finish.

thank you very much for letting us watch your beautiful work. I keep fingers crossed for your new workshop. All the best
Amazing job, I was very impressed with the way you blended in those plugs, great finish and beautiful upholstery!
Thank you! Cheers!
It must be hard to give back furniture that is your style! Beautiful work with removing the plugs and making them flush - so sleek and stylish!
Yes! Thank you!
beautiful job.
The Wood Whisperer does it again 👍👏💪!! Turned out gorgeous. That mid century modern furniture is amazing and you've done it justice with the flush plugs. Well done 👍!!

Really nice work. Great attention to detail. This table and chairs will last a good long time.
Yes it will

Beautifully turned out, you are a professional!! Good luck setting up the new studio! Kind regards Niek.
Thank you very much!
You go girl !!!!!!!
I remember the Scandinavian Design teak furniture back in the 70’s - 80’s loved going into store
Great job restoring
I can't tell you how many times I've been stuck, and ask "What would Trena do?"
Don't stress.
Do something.
If it was wrong, you can fix it.
The more screws, the less wood, the weaker you made it.
Boy, that's a pretty set! Danish Modern? ❤
Awe. Thankyou! 🥰
You really must Love your work Because you do it so well Set it's beautiful
Yes I do!
Really enjoyed, as always, your great work. The chairs and table look astonishing
Thank you very much!
You are amazing. That set is beautiful as is all the work you do.
Thank you so much!
Another Great restoration. Good job Mom on the covering!

Congrats on your new shop and looking forward to seeing the new shop.
Thanks 👍
Great job !!!!!!!! Good luck with the new shop and show us the progress on the new shop
That's the plan!😉
Whack, whack - that hammer in your hand is ominous. HA. You are the best.
Really looking forward to learning from your expertise.
Nice job Trena and Mom! Beautiful results!
Thank you so much!
A pro job as per usuall. So clean and beautiful outcome. Good luck with the new build Trena! :)
Thank you very much!
You did a wonderful restoration! I LOVE that you didnt put those awful mushroom plugs back. The sleek, smooth finish is perfect!❤❤
Thanks so much!

Now that Grey, absolutely goes with that teak.
Thanks for the tip on the Goudy’s stain colours for matching the birch legs to the rest of the teak. Going to give it a try on my next teak set. 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Nice ode to Blood, Sweat & Tears' 1969 l/p, thank you
Trena: best of luck on your move. Hope to see you and your fine work again soon.
Mark
Thankyou Mark!
Better than new
Trena, your mother does beautiful work as do you.
Yes, thank you
This is gorgeous! You are very clever with your invisible fix ups especially the flush plugs, it makes the chairs more streamlined. Awesome!
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful! Job well done again! This is a lovely set
Thank you! Cheers!
I love MCM, i am very happy to seehowyou treat teak!
Great job, l look forward to more 👏
