- I restored this Mid Century Modern Telephone Bench for #UA-camsBiggestMCMChallenge It was very tired with many deep stains and marks in the wood. The woven seagrass seat required so much work that I decided to reweave it, it was a great to learn a few new skills. I was very happy with the final result. Please let me know what you think in the comments.

Great teamwork. Extra respect to your missus for trying so hard not to look p*ssed off on camera.
She really appreciated this comment, thank you :) She did very well!!!
I was screaming "No don't cut out the seat"! I cannot believe you two wove a new seat! It looks beyond amazing. I absolutely love it, and if it stands the test of a baby, you know it will hold up. Great job!
I was screaming that in my head as I was cutting ;) Haha!! I am pleased you love the result, thank fully it all worked out! Thank you for watching!
Spoiler alert lol. I read this during a commercial 🥴
Beyond amazing is definitely correct
The chief testing and inspection officer is so cute!!!💕
I agree :) Thank you for watching!
Amazing restoration! Kudos to your lovely wife for her weaving skills. That is the cutest Quality Control Inspector I have ever seen!
Thank you, very kind. He is the cutest for sure!
Bloody brilliant mate👍
Flipping Draws brought me here! ✊🏾
Woohoo, thanks Jay! and thank you for stopping by :)
🤩🙏
Flipping Drawers brought me too..what a fabulous outcome to the challenge you guys did..enjoying them all
I found the list and told it to play them all. I’m late so the winner has probably been picked. Lol
Me too 😊
Great job!! Your lovely wife is a good sport and a dedicated partner to spend 4 hours weaving on your anniversary!! I can't help but think that pajamas and wine helped seal the deal!!
Thank you very much, they certainly helped ;) We appreciate you tuning in!
I still have 4 videos to go, but this is my favorite so far, because you took on weaving that seat having never done it before. Your wife is a great sport for agreeing to do this on your anniversary, and you both did a wonderful job!
Thank you very much, we all appreciate you tuning into watch the challenge. My wife and I appreciate your kind words :)
Omg!!! The weaving. 😜
Your Son's approval was priceless. The piece looks fantastic.
😊 thank you, appreciate that
Being born in 1950, I saw a lot of telephone tables in peoples homes. Typically, they were in the front hall and receiving a call was an EVENT! It wasn't until much later (1960's) that phones were hung on a wall or the princess phones appeared in bedrooms. Anyway, they became useful as plant stands and as a place to sit and put on shoes etc. Your renovation is beautifully done and I love how the dark espresso stain masks the water mark. Well done! 👌💖
Thank you very much! I am sure it feel like just yesterday you were attending an "event" in the front hall, it is crazy to see how things have evolved. I do miss fighting with my sister to answer the phone as a child. Thank you for tuning in :)
Ah, thanks for answering why it was fixed. Born in 1963 and the space was smaller
That weaving with your wife was fantastic! I think you both did a wonderful job of it. Well done and happy anniversary!
Thank you very much, we really appreciate it :)
The weaving of the new seat was a definite success.
These were in every home with a rotary-dial telephone. All black, all heavy, and all taking a place of honor in the home on their telephone stand. The ones with accompanying seats - such as this one - were especially nice. A beautiful restoration! NOTE: Your inspection officer is just too cute for words!!
I admire yours and your wife's patience with the weaving! It looks fantastic, well done :)
Thank you, we really appreciate your kind words :)
What a beautiful restoration for this sad bench. Kudos to your lovely wife and hugs to your darling boy.
Thank you very much, we appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment :)
Thank you for saving this gem from the landfill. I sure didn’t see any hope for the old girl, but she will live a long life now. She’s beautiful!
Hi Cole, stunning work buddy and Kudos to your wife for mucking in 😀👍👍
Loved your video, made me laugh when you roped your wife in for an anniversary weave. She’s a star. Great job all round.
Когда начали срезать верёвки - я посчитала, что его восстановить невозможно. Но вы справились и даже достаточно остроумно спрятали большое и некрасивое пятно. Прекрасная работа!
Cutting that weave was so satisfying!!
Beautiful work!!
Yes it was! Thanks mate :)
The dark stain was a wonderful choice. This is quite a transformation. Your wife is such a blessing!
I found you through the challenge. Thank you for taking part in this challenge.
Great job, your wife has the patience of a saint doing all that weaving and the little guy was such a cute inspector!
Thank you, yes I agree - very lucky!
This turned out so good I really love the contrast between the darker wood and the light colored weaving!
Kudos for getting the whole family involved too ❤
Great job! I enjoyed doing this challenge with you all! 🎉
Cheers Anders, can't wait for the next one!
That woven seat is fantastic. You both did an excellent job, and noone would know it was your first attempt.
I've done about a dozen woven chairs using this seagrass and have found that if you soak the grass in water before weaving, the seat retains it's firmness better over time.
Your quality control inspector is better looking than any I've ever seen!
Thanks for keeping this lovely piece out of the landfill!
Man I have seen a bench like this in a really long time. Looks gorgeous. Love that even though landline phones are as common as they used to be, this furniture can still be used for either a food tray, laptop, or something thing to lay your arm on while scrolling through your new age phone 😂
You are blessed with a very gracious weaving partner and adorable inspector.
Into my fifth video in the challenge series..I just loved your phone bench and the weaving with dark stains really did take it to the next level. Your beautiful wife having a go on your special day made it one of my favourites so far.
Amazing job...it is beautiful. Well, well done again!
Thank you so much 😀
Oh wow, the end result was amazing, and kudos to your lovely wife for helping out. The small inspection person made my day! Tfs 👍❤️
The little one at the end is adorable.
I did 27 years in the Antiques restore business.. never be afraid to mix stain colors.. I would have done the stained shelf in an ebony stain, the slats and the front bar, the rest in that nice dark chocolate color.. loved the anniversary weaving.. lol..
Your chief Testing and Inspections Officer is pretty darn adorable! 😊
Sea grass - the most gorgeous aroma on Earth. Some 50+ years ago, my Mum gave me the job of restoring a little stool with fresh sea grass. The aroma is the most memorable part of it. I inherited the stool as part of my parents' estate and it's standing in front of me right now - still 100% usable. My restoration weave has lasted longer than the original.
You have done a great job on this, and your wife is also amazing for helping you on what should have been a romantic night, but weaving it was
You’re funny 😂 awesome job mate and I learned something new too 💪🏻👌
Thanks Jay, really enjoyed this challenge and can't wait for the next one!
@@flipitnation 💪🏻👻
I found you through the MCM challenge. Thank you so much for taking part.
The darker stain is a wonderful choice, and I like what you did to transform the shelf. This is quite a transformation!
Give your wife and son a big hug. She’s definitely a blessing!
You owe your wife a night out! Nice work! Thanks
You owe your wife a major dinner out for helping you with the weaving which was spectacular BTW! Whole job was great. I'm impressed you even tackled this piece!
And that baby is sooo cute!!!
The chocolate stain with the light grass weave looks amazing!
This bench is BEAUTIFUL before you started. It's so cute. You could weave leather for a seat..
Final results were excellent. I would not have guessed that you never had weaved a seat before.
Your wife is a saint and your wee boy is adorable. Great job. Re-weaving was the hard, but correct, call.
My grandparents had a similar bench and I loved it when I was little.
I love telephone benches. My grandmother had a gorgeous one, probable in a landfill. Looks fabulous and your baby agrees!
Очень красиво. Удачи Вам и Вашей семье.
Большое спасибо за просмотр
I think this is true love encompassed in a furniture restoration video. The fact you and your wife weaved this piece back into life is amazing/
Such a great piece! Now your son has a chance of knowing what a rotary telephone is! Kudos.
Positively beautiful.
Thank you :)
It looks great, you have done an amazing job with the weaving, you will have to take your wife out somewhere special for the help she gave you x
putting her to work , she must really love you .lucky guy
It turned out gorgeously, you would never know it was a renovation...great job.
😊FANTASTIC WORK! GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY!!
This is fantastic! Well done on that weaving job. You also clocked the screws, didn't you? Gold star for that detail! 🏅
Hello Cole 😊 I watched your video with great pleasure. I also loved the restoration piece ❤️ And especially the knitting part of the video and your family are very beautiful. Your son is so cute 😊 Great work 👏👏👏
Well done! Looks great. That weaving was an undertaking, very impressed 😁
