Wow,what patience you have... a few cuss words do help though..lol love the fabric you chose! Gorgeous piece!
The Daisy interlude was a hoot,she was just full of herself...a cutie pie with her corks..I watch quite a few Furniture Restorers and Refinishers and I have to say I thoroughly enjoy your channel more than any of them.Much love to You,the Mrs. And Daisy!!
Wow Kim what a really kind thing to say. Thank you so much for your continued support 😀❤️🐶
Great job! I love the fabric. I hope the owner loves what you've done. Your work is impeccable as usual. Do you know where I could buy this fabric? I love the Art Nouveau design! ❤❤❤

Excellent work, I have just finished my mother's / grandmother's nursing chair. We used to get smacked for sitting on it as kids because it was so wobbly like an amusement park ride. Brought back good memories. I'm now 70 and was fun to do.
@@MayfieldRestorations thanks so much David for the Link to the Fabric..I'm going to order some to reupholster a couple of chairs I have...the fabric is beautiful!!
My ex father in law got into doing cane furniture after having a heart attack and had to retire early in his career as a civil engineer. It started out a therapy for him. But later help supplement his social security. Anyway this lady brought him a rocking chair. She had no pictures of the chair for him to even see what he was dealing with. It was literally a stack of pieces in the middle of the livingroom floor. Did not even have some of the pieces for it. Turns out it was the kind of wicker chair where it had only a wooden frame. The seating area of the rocker was all wicker. He also hand carved the missing part. So that was his puzzle project. He hand caned the whole chair.
Excellent !!! I want to try my hand at caning i enjoy close hand eye work, so this gives me huge incentive!!! Thank You
I’m an extremely stubborn person who does not have a boatload of patience. However I would have seen this as a massive challenge and taken it on. Honesty requires I say that at 70% of project done, I would have quit and handed it over to another to finish. A blow to my pride yes, but I let my sanity win! A remarkable man, your dad!! From NH, Patricia. 👵🏻 🤗
My ex father in law gave me a practice frame to start learn the basic caning pattern and showed me how to do that basic pattern. Have to say l never got my first try finished. But doesn't mean l won't try again. I was raising 5 children at that time in my life, so it just got put on the back burner. I to enjoy shower needle work.
Now THAT sounds like a real challenge. He was obviously a talented guy😀❤️
Cane work is becoming a lost art and is HARD work! Props to your FIL for keeping that beautiful art form alive!
OMG!!! This is beautiful beyond belief. The fabric is stunning. You must have customers beating down your door, David.
Aww thanks Kathleen 😀❤️
Pattern on the material was perfectly aligned, great attention to detail. Give Daisy a pat for me.
😀❤️🐶
I am SHOCKED... SHOCKED that you actually got that thing together again,. In the beginning watching it fall apart I was sure it would never go together again, I am impressed. Plus I love to watch you work on your restorations. Keep them coming!!!
You and me both! 🤣🤣 Glad you enjoy my videos 😀❤️
Honestly, David, given the poor structural integrity of the piece, I was not anticipating such a remarkable restoration. And I really like your choice of fabric. Much better than the dull yellow originally used.
Thanks Michael 😀😀
Now this is a real sewing box for a really busy mama; plenty of room for socks with holes, buttonless shirts and clothing with torn hems and seams! Beautiful job!
🤨 - holes in socks occur in areas of wear ~ foot and shoe rubbing, and would re form if patched up = unfortunately when our socks get holes in them - we throw them away and buy a new set, no point in sewing up the holes/sewing patches on them
😀👍
It's too beautiful to close now! That art deco fabric is gorgeous
Thanks Emily 😀❤️❤️
What a sweet little sewing box, I am sure your customer was very pleased with the finished restoration. 🙂
Thanks, she loved it 😀😀
You know you’re a fan when you recognize Daisy’s Cork Cabinet…
Hahaha you’re definitely a fan now 😀😂😂🐶❤️
I'm really impressed with how talented people like yourself and Jay from Flippingdrawers take pieces of furniture that would seem to be past their lives and reinvigorate them. I love how you give your projects back their original character, but reborn. You are saving the world from destroying its past. This piece was really beautiful and I'm sure the owner was thrilled.
I love this comment, “saving the world from destroying its past”, love it. Thanks so much for your kind words 😀😀❤️
I've never seen that particular kind of furniture before, must be a European style. You did a beautiful job, like a difficult puzzle. It's stunning. ❤️ to 🐕
Thank you so much, I must admit that its the first time Ive seen one like this too 😀
When I first saw this piece I thought it was destined for the trash. But you did a fabulous job bringing it back to life. Great job!
Thanks Spencer 😀
The work that went into this is mind boggling. What looked like a hopeless pile of wood turned into a masterpiece of beauty and elegance. I love it very much. Incredible job ❤
Daisy is just sooo sweet and adorable 😊
Thanks Jennifer for such lovely comments, you’re very kind 😀🐶❤️
Honestly, I didn't think this piece was worth restoring at first but it turned out very nice. I am glad you restored it.
Thanks 😀
So beautiful. Your client is lucky to have you. The new fabric is perfect. Love how you positioned the flowers. ❤❤❤
Thanks Tracy 😀❤️
Your worship is amazing! I wish you lived in the US. I am sure your customer was very, very well PLEASED!
Thanks very much, she loved her table 😃😃
That turned out lovely! Your customer is very lucky!
Thank you! 😊
This just rules. It looks so good. Also, give Daisy some pats, she's super cute.
Hi Angus, thanks very much. I’ll give Daisy a belly rub from you 😀🐶👍
My goodness, you certainly turned that piece into something spectacular!
Thank you! 😊
Another impossible job done to perfection! I really thought that piece was a goner. Now, it's beautiful!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Stunning! The upholstery makes it absolutely elegant. Very well done.
Thanks so much!😀😀
the upholstery was the cherry on top. I'm glad you did it. Lovely restoration.
Thank you very much!😀😀
Wow, what a superb job. The finished piece looked stunning - I bet your client was well pleased. Very enjoyable to watch you work through the issues with no drama or fuss and learn how you overcome them. Thanks for posting the video.
Thank you very much for your kind comments 😀😀
You have turned an ohm miss used and poorly kept piece furniture, which was once ready for the scrap. The turning point is that you have turned her into a blushing debutante at the spring ball, showing offers, dial courage and utility all at the same time. Thank you very much. I enjoy your videos.
Thanks very much for your great comment William 😀😀👍
If I may give you a tip. When placing your material onto the wadding, use Odif 505 temporary adhesive onto the wadding. You can peal back and replace it and it’ll help keep the fabric in place while you permanently fix it. I’m a quilter and it really helps. X
Great tip, thanks very much 😀😀
You definitely brought this old piece back to its former glory. Thank you!
Thanks for watching Kristin 😀❤️
Daisy thought the first cork was crap. Couldn’t you see that? LOL
😂😂🐶❤️
Love some Daisy, and how she talks back to you all sassy with her corks. Too cute. Incredible work refinishing and repairing this piece. I think it looks like a mini coffin too. 😂beautiful though
Thanks so much, she is a little sassy doggy 😂😂
As someone with zero patience, your restorations blow my mind! I can't imagine the amount of work you put in. The end result is so stunning!
Thank you so much 😀
I've not seen sewing tables like this in America. I'd love to find one.
It was a lovely piece 😀
My doggy, a Welsh terrier named Miss Muffit and I were watching your show. She was laying down. Then when she saw your Daisy, Muffy sat up and watched all the footage with her in it. As soon as Daisy was gone, Muffit laid back down and went back to sleep. Daisy has a real fan here in Indiana. You have a fan here too. I love your restoration and I’m learning so much. Your explanations are so easy to understand and you’re so knowledgeable. Thanks for your great videos.
Hahaha that’s great to hear, Daisy actually sits up and watches herself on screen and even barks at herself sometimes 😂😂 I’m so pleased you’re enjoying my videos 😀❤️🐶🐶
I think it turned out just lovely and the new upolstry is definitely much nicer. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you! 😊
This sweet little cabinet is saying 'Thank You' for making me pretty again. Lovely job with stain color and stunning fabric 😊😊
Cheers from the Finger Lakes of New York State 🍷 🍷
Hi to you Kim over in NY state. Thanks so much for your lovely comments about my work. 😀❤️
Real beauty!!! Well done master!!! Daisy melts my heart!!!🌸🌸🌸
Thank you very much. 😀🐶❤️
Absolutely stunning work. I'm sure the hidden swearing really helped bring it together 😂😂
Hahaha it certainly did Liz. It certainly wasn’t fit for public consumption 😂😂😂
Great job Dave , those hinges came up great,and the rest good as new.
😀👍
David, this is another coup! I love the fabric that you selected. I know that your customer is thrilled!
Thanks so much Laura 😀❤️
It came out so lovely! I do understand the swearing part though. To put together such a delicate and flimsy piece is definitely a challenge! But you’ve managed, as usual. Great work!
Thank you so much! 😀😀
I started watching you because of Daisy, and kept watching for the great content. Thanks for all you do!
I don’t blame you Dee, Daisy entertains me everyday 😂😂🐶❤️
SUCH GREAT WORK AND SUCH A GREAT RESTORATION AND A CUTE LITTLE PUP!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Excellent job. I’m sure the customer loved it. Thank you for sharing.😊
Thanks for watching!😀👍
Wow. It turned out gorgeous. I love the new fabric. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos.
Thanks very much Sibylle 😀❤️
"Gimme the cork! Gimme the cork!!" I get such a huge kick out of Daisy. Now, old son - we need to talk about your Amazon wish list. I'm thinking it needs a belt on it. Using a strip of upholstery webbing, then shoving the excess down your trousers just won't do for our David. You sure performed a miracle on this piece. Just wonderful!
😂😂😂thanks Molly ❤️
Great job and excellent choice of fabric with that rich mahogany colour. Very pretty little sewing table.
Thank you! 😊
WOWZA! Isn’t it amazing how when you get a piece that has signs all over it saying "it’s not worth your time, just trash me" you proceed anyway (don’t you just love a challenge) and it turns out to be something that you can be extremely proud of. And, by the way has turned out to be worth a lot of money. Congratulations! From New Hampshire, Patricia 👵🏻 😊
Thanks Patricia, it’s lovely to hear how you appreciated the work that went in to this 😀❤️
Now this is restoration!
Thanks very much James 😀👍👍
When you had it all apart, it truly looked ready for the burn pile. What a transformation! I *love* the fabric choice.
Thanks so much! 😊
Just gorgeous!! I was going to ask how you know where everything goes when you disassemble, so I’m glad you showed how you do it. I see you matched up the design so that when you open the lid, the flowers are lined up. Excellent work, as always!
😀❤️
😍😍😍I love this, I am a sewer and I would be so proud to have this, I keep my threads etc in a glass lidded dark wood box that my dad gave me. He said it is a display box that was used in my towns, sadly no more, Co-op Drapery department. I cherish it partly its history but mostly because it is from my dad❤
The sentimental pieces are the best, I don't sew but i still have my Nan's cantilever sewing box. I may restore it one day 😃😃❤️
Absolutely beautiful! Well done.
Thank you so much 😀
I love how you laughed at times at how things were going. Thank you for letting me know I’m not the only one that might have two or three goes at some things.
Thanks so much, I love what I do and certainly don’t get it right first time every time 😂😂❤️
I like his attitude!
😀❤️
It's a good thing you marked everything so you knew where it went.😊
Always thinking Rita 🤣🤣👍
GORGEOUS! Love the color and the upholstery. Great job.
Thank you so much! 😀
You shook it to bits. 😂😂😂 Lovely. I am sure your customer was properly stunned at the outcome.
Love that. Great job. The upholstery is perfect.
Thank you!
Absolutely gorgeous and the material is so pretty 😍🤩
Daisy having fun with a cork and being greedy too 😂😂
My customer hasn't actually seen the finished table yet, she away on holiday, 😀❤
Fabulous restoration! I love that fabric!
Thank you! 😊
Daisy was a hoot today, she had a lot to say! I think that piece is stronger now than when it was new. It was a good job as usual! Thanks for sharing💜💜💜
Thanks Anita, she was a little Imp that day but always entertaining 😀😀😂🐶❤️ Thanks for your continued support ❤️
That turned out absolutely beautiful! I love the wood tone and the material. You did such a wonderful job! I have an unusual sewing stand that I want to do and that gives me a little bit of an idea. Hello Daisy! Glad to see you got to corks, instead of just one!😂❤
😀❤️🐶
Don't hate me! I was having SERIOUS doubts on this one! So wonderful you got to the finish line with such success!! Well done!
I don’t hate anyone 😂😂 certainly not the people that support me 😀❤️
I’m not sure what this piece of furniture is called but I LOVE it! I love mahogany and the fabric is so so beautiful. Fantastic!
Thank you so much! 😀
Loved Dayse! She's the best quality inspector! 😂
😀🐶❤️
Gorgeous. I gotta admit I'd think that fabric was gorgeous on anything, but the rest of it ain't bad lookin', either. 😉
😀👍
Another one knocked into the goal.
The new upholstery is gorgeous
Thanks very much Maria 😀❤️
Stunning - love the fabric!
Thank you! 😊
This is stunning! The fabric is beautiful, and spot on! This was like a very frustrating puzzle, but congratulations-you won.
I loved seeing sassy Daisy and her passion for corks. 😄
Thanks V. 😀❤️❤️
Beautiful.
Thank you! 😀
This was so pretty. That was quite a bit of work to bring that around. I am sure your client will be very happy when they see it.🥰👍
Thanks `Jeanette 😀😀❤️
The enjoyment I get from watching your videos is immense. Thank you so very much for creating your content. I always pick up a tip, or two, each time I watch.
So nice to hear how much you enjoy my videos, thanks so much 😀😀
Wonderful transformation! Love Daisy's appearances, sweet girl!
Thank you! 😊🐶❤️
Lovely!
Thanks 😀👍
Absolutely night and day! And I love to see your wee girl with her cork habit.
Thanks Helen 😀🐶❤️
Great work.
Thanks Michael 😀👍
I absolutely love it. Being someone so sews I would welcome this in my home. The choice of fabric is beautiful. Well done I hope your customer loves it as well.
Thanks Joann 😀😀
Гениально!!!!!
Thanks so much 😀😀
Another beautiful piece saved from the rubbish heap! Cheers!
😀❤️👍
That’s really pretty now. Bravo!
😀👍
I just absolutely LOVE Daisy, such a sweet , funny little character and that bird song, what kind of bird is that? I also loved the clocks symbolising time stretching into the future very clever. The reassembly is a real Chinese puzzle, a bit of swearing always adds some colour. The finished product is a real work of art, so beautiful, cheers David!!🥰💕👍👍🐕🐦
Hi Frances, thanks so much for your lovely kind comments about my work but especially about my Daisy 🐶❤️ The bird song you can hear is most likely the Blackbirds that nest in the tree just next to my workshop, they are noisy little things but always happy to sing. It might also be the little Robin Red Breasts that nest in my garden too. 🐦⬛😃
I see what you are doing. You aren't fooling anyone. You are shamelessly using that darn dog to make sure that I come back for every video just to see him. Well, I only have one thing to say to you!.
Well played good sir. Well played. Take your damned like and your watch time. You win.
🙂
My little Daisy certainly is getting her own fan club and if they happen to watch my restoration work then everyones a winner 😂😂😂👍👍🐶🐶
The new upholstery is beautiful and it fits the piece so well. And aren't new tools so fun.
Thanks Rita, it’s great getting a new tool 🤣🤣😀
Wow! Honestly..I don’t think this could have looked better when it was new. Your fabric choice was awesome, absolutely perfect.
Thank you so much! 😀
So glad I found your channel. There is something soothing about watching you work your magic. It’s like “OK all is right with the world now.” I love Daisy chapters. She makes me smile.
What a lovely thing to say. Thankyou so much for your kind words 😀🐶❤️
That piece turned out amazing! I love love love that fabric! It goes so well with the rest of the piece. Always a joy to watch your videos! Love seeing Daisy also!
Thanks so much Dawn 😀❤️
Great job saving that! However my dogs went mental when your ring doorbell went off! 😂
🤣🤣🤣🐶🐶❤️
What a great job!! It sure was a tedious endeavor. But it’s a beauty now. I love the upholstery no wonder your client wanted to use it.
Thanks very much Katherine. She’s not seen the finished piece yet as she’s on holiday 😀😀
What an Amazing transformation David, it is stunning beautiful. You always impress with your workmanship, it's second to none. Daisy interludes are always a treat to see. Thank you xxx
Thanks so much for your lovely comments Freyja 😀❤️
I think you forget to put the fabric in the bottom of the box, but love the new fabric and the restoration of the furniture, lovely.
Errr no I didn’t! I purposely didn’t add fabric because I fully refinished the bottom so it’s far more hardwearing than material. The original material on the bottom was torn and ripped. 👍
Great project. The process was very interesting and the final outcome was outstanding. In the world of throw away mentality it is nice to see something ‘come back from the dead’. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks for your great comment 😀😀
That’s a stunning restoration. What a lovely little table! I bet your client is thrilled to bits!
Thanks Marcia 😀😀
Nicely done. That fabric was the ideal choice. It sets it off quite nicely.
Thank you! 😊
This fabric is so beautiful, so classy, so... wow!
And the restoration is just perfect.
Thank you so much!😀😀
@@MayfieldRestorations You're welcome :)
Gorgeous piece of furniture now and the upholstery choice is fantastic!! Love it!!
Thanks so much!😀😀
I just found your channel and am amazed at your skills! You took a dilapidated pied of furniture and turned it into a prized family heirloom that has a new life! I absolutely LOVE the fabric you chose and Daisy is such a treat! Great work! You’ve got yourself a new subscriber!
Thank you so much,I h and welcome to my channel 😀😀❤️
I wasn't sure about the upholstery at first. But, WOW! I love it! Great job!
😀❤️👍
Hi from South Africa David ... this little table is really a masterpiece that you have created. I so love the fabrics that you choose. Wonderful restoration. Whomsoever gets this little piece is truly privileged.
Hi Gail, so pleased you liked my work. Thanks for your support 😀😀
That was truly brought back from the brink!
Thanks very much 😀😀
I have no use of a sewing table, BUT what a beautiful result!!
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful restoration of a stylish practical peive of furnature that will be treasured for years to comr.
😀😀
