This week Trena restores a 7-foot-tall hutch which is badly damaged and covered in multiple layers of enamel paint.
OMG...beyond words! I'm in awe of your amazing skills it took to salvage this and make it a beautiful piece. Not many would have taken this one on. The patience/tenacity to see it through is beyond my comprehension. Awesome job Trena...everyone needs to buy you a coffee!
Thanks Mark!
Amazing work! Thanks for sharing.

Wow, Trena. Simply wow! From an almost dead piece of furniture to a stunning piece of art. I have to admit, seeing the finish almost moved me. Beautifully revived to thrive another 100 years. Awesome. Xx

@@vrijevoeten I can't believe she was able to do this with it. Most people would not touch it with a 10ft pole.
I can't help but think it's social media and Patreon alone which give her the chance to exercise artistic skill on a piece like this.
This project was insane!! Started out with a hurting cabinet and ended up with a gorgeous piece of history! Your work is absolutely amazing!
Thank you very much!
The Doctor was in the house on this project. Great job Trena! Cheers ❤
Lol
But dear someone, what a trip you took me on. Was incredibly exciting to follow, and what an end result. Fantastic. Thank you so much from Sweden. 🇸🇪🇪🇺
Her name is Trena with a soft e as in “ten”.
Did not think it possible, but you DID it. So glad you kept the natural wood and didn't paint it.
This project shows a SERIOUS level of expertise ! and craftsmanship, way beyond stripping, scraping, sanding, and refinishing ! !
Great name Dog!!!
@@corgilover3011 A little research on my user name will reveal where I worked.
Totally agree!! Wow!!
I love the added drama of shop dog’s toy distress! So funny and such an adorable addition. I’m glad that she/he is included in the videos!
🥰
Unbelievable T. That monster looked like it was ready for the burn pile when it came in. Now it’s ready for the museum, or at least the dining room. You’re a miracle worker.
THIS TRULY LOOKED HOPELESS CONSIDERING WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE TO BEGIN WITH. YOU REALLY DID SAVE THE IECE.
Goodwill would have thrown it away, but now it's an heirloom. Simply amazing. What an artist you are.
Trenda you are truly an exceptional artisan. Not many others can compare with your attention to detail. ❤
Thank you so much
Hi Trena the video won’t play I hope you can reupload :) it looks exciting too it’s has to be an epic make over xx
Sorry. You tube issues

You are a true artist in the quality of your work. You have a much older soul with the extra special care you give your work.
I have my husband's grandmother's Jenny Lynn bed from 1901. She received it for a wedding gift. This bed was very precious to my husband. He died in 2011 with cancer and I wanted to honor his gift to keep the bed. I'm in California and there is no desire to have this bed for anyone. I decided to turn it into a bench. It has been beat up quite a bit. Watching you has taught me so very much. I'm 71 so let's hope I finish my task before I get too old. Thank you.
Awesome glad you could find it a useful home
I watch a lot of restoration videos, but you are by far my favorite. Another beautiful restoration! I love your attention to detail.
Thankyou Tom!
Wow! Talk about a master class in furniture repair. You used just about every trick possible on this one.
This is a stunning transformation Trena. Just the toning process is impressive by itself.
Trena, this is really amazing! It really Pops and the yellows that are natural to pine stand out beautifully.You are an artist to take that burn pile piece and make it a true work of art.
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful! Thank you.
Не перестаю восхищаться вашему таланту , красивый и бережно отреставрированный шкаф , браво мастер , браво!
I saw this & thought no way, but you are simply an awesome artist. It looks incredible and I agree that not many could or would have dedicated this level of work to it or even had the skills needed. It’s wonderful that there are people like you in this world to work such magic. I hope your customer watches this video to truly appreciate you and your work. Coffees on the way to you. 👏👏👏
Thankyou!
I think you hit it on the nose when you said ARTIST! Trena is without doubt a great craft pro but what makes her so above and beyond is her artistic vision. Having a restoration shop with all the fixins is fine but having procedures worked out from so much experience in so condensed amount of time is to me artistry! TRENA, YOU ARE TOP NOTCH! 👍🏼
Another amazing transformation Trena.
Your family must be so proud of you, (especially your Dad). Hard learned skills, and hard work in action. But so satisfying when you see the end product.
BTW. Good call deconstructing the lower doors. Fine work. Edit: and adding the filler strips to the inside of the lower door frames made much more sense. A good job well done.
WOW is all I can say about this one. You have a PhD in furniture! And thanks for letting us spend a few min. with your sweet pup. I love seeing her.
You are so welcome!
See the work done on this piece of furniture, you have shown me that apart from having very good hands, you have a special sensitivity that only master craftsmen have.
I would have left it natural wood, stained a little with a very diluted very orange color, primer and waxed....
I follow several furniture restorers from different countries and you have surprised me!!!!
I restore furniture over 100 years old...
Congratulations 👏👏👏👏
People on UA-cam these days use the term ASMR, watching you work, and as a cabinet maker knowing the skill you possess required to do such work is the epitome of ASMR
This was a magnificent restoration project! I love how you used the period looking glass in the upper doors! It really adds character to the piece. You truly made a work of art out of this. I bet the owners were totally shocked when they saw it! Its really what the original craftsman was trying to create, Im sure! WELL DONE, TRENA!❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Trena I'm very proud of you, you certainly give the customer good value for their money. Only a person with a stubborn mind can do a job with so many repair details. Also you have the skills. Love Dad!
Hi Dad! thanks for chiming in. Miss you
No money in the world can be more valuable than a Dad saying how proud he is of his daughter's skills, talent and work ethics. I wonder where she got that from??? 🤔
This and tha old Grandfather clock are my favorite videos!! The clock video showed the world just how talented you really are!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Wow, thank you!
I’m beyond amazed at the finished piece! I NEVER would have imagined the piece would EVER look this magnificent! You are truly VERY gifted not only in your repairs but in the staining coming out so beautifully! Fantastic job!
Thanks Lee
I dont believe most people understand the hours and skills required to restore antique furniture.
During the time to finish this piece, you could've built the same with new materials. But then you'll end up with a new piece and not the antique. I really admire the passion and care you put into each restoration that you do. These pieces have history and definitely deserve all of it!
My dear Trena, your work ethics are stupendous. I am the handyman in my extended family and friends and get called on to do stuff that I would think anyone should be able to do. But alas, no one acquires theses skills anymore. Great seeing your videos.
I have 3 third cousins, these three boys (actually grown men now😩) can do most anything that needs to be done, from building to BBQ, I’m
pretty much in awe of their skills. Right now they are in the process of a complete remodel of their Mom’s kitchen and dining room, not long ago the remodeled one of her bathrooms. The youngest brother owns a company called McMedal in Weatherford, Tx. they build everything from
garages to barndominiums. Their Dad thought them these skills. I personally love to do projects but because I’m old now, I’ve been banned from
climbing a ladder, yet they haven’t taken my car keys away yet!😂😂😂
I have recently been given an old dome trunk from the 1870's Mesilla, NewMexico. Looks like it has been in a stagecoach pileup. I may leave it for the next generation, or next, to restore. Thanks to your videos, I appreciate caution above of wading in. It needs attention, but I think I would just be abusive. Thank you for loving the history of a piece and teaching me when to back off.
My pleasure
What an absolutely stunning piece of history. You rescued this cabinet and kept that history alive, hopefully for another 100 years! Masterful and passionate work, I’m so impressed!
Glad you enjoyed it
incredible... this one contained so many things to learn from... won't be long and we will be seeing you on skillshare...
Holy moly! Incredible salvage job on this wonderful piece of history. On the one hand, they should be ashamed to have let this piece get to the stage it was in, but to their credit, they found you and you have returned it to its former glory. That is SO much work, Trena. The amount of detail . . . your patience is, as they say in Montreal, formidaaaaaable! I agree with many of your subscribers, who commend you on your colouring and tint work. Like you said in the video, in the end, that attention to detail is what separates the rookies from the pros. Well done! When do you move?
At first Trena, i thought OH NO., but their, s no doubt about you trena. WOW what else can i say! 👍🎓🙌
I was sure this was beyond stain and could only be painted to hide the damage 💔. The owners must have a lot of love and memories to invest in such a lost cause ( to most people but you) This was a true Cinderella piece 🥰
That was a big project! You didn't skip anything either. Well done!
Yes! Thank you!
This was an amazing job. It looks wonderful. It is completely reworked and has the charm of the old work and the addition of the new looks old as well. I wish I could do this work. WOW!!
At the begining, this old furniture looks like for me as a pile of wood just good for starting a fire. It's a real resurrection ! Best regards from France.
Holy, HOLY COW!! You've outdone yourself on THIS one, Trena! It makes me sad to remember the pieces from my childhood, that were scrapped because of their condition. Time, patience, and skill brought this back to a STUNNING piece, that I'm sure the client is beyond overjoyed with! LOVELY WORK!
Captivated! Watched the entire video. Very professionally accomplished video. Your customers were very wise. Most folks would have junked that & it would have ended up in some landfill.
What an amazing job you did. Perfect leaving indications of the original age of the piece. I have no idea how much you charged to complete that job but, you absolutely earned ever $$$. You really busted your chops on this one! So many countless repairs! Your final tinting was flawless.
Junk to family heirloom piece. Quite impressive.
The leveling casters on the feet - great idea. I hope your clients appreciate the finished product. Many (even professional) restorers would have ignored and left those little details that you so lovingly & beautifully handled.
I have pretty much watched all of your past videos with great delight. Always give you a thumbs up.
Do you accept PayPal to purchase you that cup of coffee? I really need to do that in order to show my appreciation.
Stay Safe, Healthy, & Happy.
Love your dog BTW!
wow. thankyou so much for all your kind words!yes i accept paypal, but i am also just honored to have wonderful viewers chime in such as yourself. paypal.me/4harmony
Jack of all trades, master of them all by the look of things. Cracking job. 👍
You are indeed a woman of many talents! Each step of the way, you awed me with your knowledge of how to get this piece looking amazing! You never fail to take a piece that looks like it could be firewood and turn it back in to a stunning piece of furniture!
Aboslutely a remarkable restoration of a piece that most certainly would have ended up as trash or firewood!! You are truly a visionary when it comes to what lies under all of the damage.
Thankyou!
Trena, you did a great job. It's hard to age new wood like that but you did it. The period correct glass was a nice touch.
Wow! Just wow! Girl you are the rock star of refinishing furniture!!! You rock! This piece is amazing and I love every mark and scar on her. She is old but oh my word aint she is beautiful... I absolutely love your work. The love and care you put into the work you do is priceless. We need more people in America like you who take pride in what they do. People used to be true craftman in what they did with their hands.. Your hands are blessed with a gift from God. Your parents I am sure are proud of their daughter. I would be. God bless
Thankyou Catherine
❤️ "your hands are blessed with a gift from God" ❤️
Beautiful!
Love watching you repair furniture. Could please turn on the closed captions when you post?
Geez, Ms. This looked like a shipwreck. I love seeing it saved and restored. Thanks!
Amazing work! You are not only a master craftsman at wood working but also very capable at manufacturing special hinges! Not to mention how wonderful the finishes on all you work on come out. It was good to see you re-use all those old hand made nails as well.
Thanks Gary
That looks crazy good. I cannot believe the magic you can achieve with pine.
I wish I could post a picture of the one that I am working on right now, almost as bad as that!
1908 hutch with pressed in motifs and sat in a barn for over 30 years.
White oak and poplar.
Your pc there is awesome, keep up the great work!
good luck
That was one hell of a project Trenna. Excellent work. I suppose you have been told before that you have beautiful blemish free skin.
At first I thought "Oh god, not every piece of furniture needs to be saved". I was wrong. The closet looks fantastic. Did you also have any training in magic? There is no other way I can explain this transformation. Really good job! Thank you for sharing❤️❤️❤️
Hard to believe that you were able to restore this,,,It must be a very valuable piece to the owners to have you put this much time into is, Love how it came out though. Great Job.
I appreciate so much that you take the time to document your work and share it with the world. I enjoy your videos so much. I can't imagine there would be too many people that would take on a project like this. You did an amazing job! I'm always fascinated by the toning..
Omg, all that paint scraping.... genius to take those doors apart. Great save!
a masterpiece. this was my favorite video of yours to watch. all the skills you utilized to bring this piece back from the dead was amazing. ;your patience and attention to detail is a thing of beauty.
Just the condition like it was before and then after shows a tremendous difference, just like a new piece, impressive, really worth the repair...!!!
Thanks!
Wow, beautifully done! Really like the stain and the final toning took it to another level.
As usual Trena a great job . Hope customer was impressed .
absolutely stunning transformation
love how the color turned out
bravo trena! 👏
Trena, very good transformation. no one could imagine the final result you reached!
Thankyou!
Это волшебство!Шкаф до реставрации меня напугал своим безнадёжным видом!
Beautiful!! Would love to see the customers reaction!!
Lindíssimo trabalho, mas a movelaria mundial hoje trabalha com tom de madeira clara, tipo nórdica. Faça móveis assim... Adoraria ver aqui! 😘 do Brasil 🇧🇷!
All I can say is "WOW" what a transformation. to take something of this quality and make it look like that is beyond belief! Whats the old adage "You can put a dress on a pig, it's still a pig" You put a dress on this pig and turned it into Cnderella! well done ! tons of hints and tidbits from this one for sure. thanks for taking the time to share this with us. ECF
The way you salvaged this beautiful old piece gives me tears of joy. Thank you!
Amazing, you are brave Trena, that cabinet would be considered firewood in most repair shops and you renewed it beautifully, great choice of color and finish ...and on pine! hats off...quite inspiring
Thanks!
Only a professional like you could have pulled that off ! Outstanding work, you really did turn trash into treasure on this one .
You're a miracle worker! That's gorgeous ❤
Unreal and in just two weeks! Amazing, just simply amazing
OMG i'M EXHAUSTED JUST WATCHING YOU WORK ON THIS. I hope you were paid mega bucks for all your efforts!!! I'm gobsmacked that you were able to fix this piece. Amazing!!
Lol tha kyou!
Cabinet had to have special meaning to someone to want to save it. Looks Fantastic as always.
WOW!! What an incredible piece!! You are nothing short of a miracle worker!! I am constantly zooming wayyy in to see every detail and turning my head, as if I can actually look inside 🤣 I am fascinated by all of the different steps and skills that it takes to get to the amazing finished result! Thank you so much for taking the time to share so much of what you do!
Thanks so much 😊
This piece turned out nothing short of amazing! Skilled BOSS!❤
🥰
The music 🎶 is wonderful. The volume is perfect. Beautiful work of art
Thankyou
I really enjoyed watching this transformation from what most would consider dump material. You show great attention to detail, furniture integrity, and a great artistic eye. You turned an ugly duckling into a swan.
Everybody has already said my thoughts. Again, magnificent workmanship.
I spend five days in the hospital and I have enjoyed watching your videos will at home home now. It must be nice to have a job that you really enjoy doing. Thanks for your videos.
Thank you for saving this piece it reminds me of my grandmothers kitchen. It was her mother’s I am 78 years old and glad you did this for future generations ❤🎉🧓🏻🌵🍀🍀🍀🍀👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🛐🇺🇸
I don't know what to say. You're amazing. Most people would have considered that piece Dumpster Food.
First off I just want to say that the effort you put in on every video is much appreciated. The quality of your work is almost unheard of these days. Yes it is somehow fun and satisfying to scrape off that old paint. I hope your business prospers. I use a lot of your ways on my hobby projects. Thank you very much.
Thanks Dennis
your skill and aptitude .. amaze me .. the way you overcome problems just leaves me in awe .. you should have a saying .. a saying i use ... "NO PROBLEMS ... ONLY .. EVER .. SOLUTIONS ... your detailing is AMAZING... attention to detail .. i LOVE your videos xx
Thankyou !
Holey Guacamoley! Watched the whole freaking thing. Every amazing moment!
It is just beautiful, your workmanship is just wonderful to see. You are a talented craftsman. Thank you for sharing.
My grandfather who did a lot of furniture refinishing told us that these old kitchen dressers were made out of mostly scrap wood and were never meant to be stained.
Finally found your site once more. After having to rebuild my computer and bring all my favorites back, you are still here
Oh bummer. Welcome back!
You really are a gift to Essex County !
Wow! Just WOW! you are an artiste! Amazing job! And made better because I can see how much love you put into your work!
3 Weeks…Incredible!! Your work is so very amazing!
Amazing transformation young lady and you used that small plane again love it .
Yep it’s a handy tool
I watched this whole video in a single sitting. What a fabulous job!!
It's great to see a master at her craft. Thank you for all the tips.
Must comment on this.This is especially amazing. This project looked like a candidate for the burn pile. you have brought it back to life but more than that it is beautiful and will be usable for many years. Have you ever watched Engles coach shop ? He does similar work. I think you would like his work.He rebuilds old wagons and in a way it is similar to what you do. Your work is so amazing.
yes, very cool shop
Nothing short of amazing! Saved that one from the clutches of death!
Nobody would believe how beautiful this came out from where you started..........Great job..............
In my eyes that piece of furniture was toast, WRONG !!
An amazing piece of restoration Brilliant !!
I was so afraid that it was going to get painted everywhere. Very Nice!
Absolutely loved this video! I stripped down 2 really heavy pine (and other wood) french doors with layers of paint. The bottom layer was like cement! Now I realize it was probably enamel as you mentioned. With the crappy stripper and a heat gun, it came off. I love your videos cuz I learn so much I can apply to my little projects! Thanks so much! You are a restoration wizard!
Thankyou !
A massive undertaking! Every surface needs the artison's loving touch.
