Sarah’s paint job was very intricate, detailed, and time-consuming. It’s lovely. I would have added a bit of that detail to the portion next to the mirror. Beautiful work!
Sarah's ideal on the victorian peice was a good , but her ideal to remove the trim, cornis, and doors were a bad ideal. It was nice, but one could tell parts were missing. It would have been much better to just cleaned it and sold to antique dealer for a couple of hundred.
Wow, Sarah, I'm more impressed than ever with that paint job!---Norman, I gush, as ever!---Antony, I thought sure that leather was going over to Neal, but I'm so delighted at what you turned out! Here's to more of your creations gracing Britain!!!
It hurt my heart to see Sarah break down that beautiful cabinet. I just can't believe these owners dont sell many of the pieces before taking to the recycled plant. Some items were still in good condition. I am in USA and thought we accumulate a lot; however, after seeing the Thrifters and repurposing shows all over the world itbreaks my heart to see how people everywhere just throw perfectly good . Furniture . away. to see all the dishes broken had me tearing up.
Many newer homes in the UK are far smaller than their predecessors of the 1900s and the larger scale furniture from that period will not fit into the smaller rooms. That Victorian cabinet would have been difficult to sell as a result of its size, exaggerated ornamentation and dark, heavy wood.
Well... I think that sideboard deserved to stay with all thoses beautiful pieces. It was a fabulous piece of furniture. Very, very sad tovsee it this way.
Whoever gets Sarah to do the makeover is making huge profit. That dresser didn't cost 10$, that was the paint cost only, Sara's job would have had costed so much more if another artist did it so she is really putting her work into someone else's profits.
Oh Sarah! Nooooo! The work on the cabinet was lovely but it didn’t actually need any of that. Just lighten it up a bit - hell it was beautiful and I would have put it in my home as is!
I wish Sarah had chosen the leather. then she could do less damage. Though she would never have had the skills to create what Antony achieved. Full marks to Antony. Seeing Sarah choose the Victorian furniture filled me with dread. And I wish that Jay could return to this show - he respects the items and does some lovely work. I will add more after I see what Sarah inflicts on the piece. . . . . . and yes now I have viewed the outcome from Sarah's solution. I now feel so very sorry for Cynthia and Mike. It was a tragic "renovation" imo. Sarah could have created something else with the carved doors that she discarded. Despite her painting - as far as everything else I found her "solution"?? horrible. Please bring back Jay. Norman's bench is magnificent. All Praise goes to Norman today. Antony is similarly outstanding. The long curved footstool is superb. Antony please take a bow - the footstool is lovely.
Not sure why she didn’t just sell the cabinet to an antique dealer without modification. Would have made more $, preserved history and craftwork, been an easy sell. As it turned out, she ruined it. Hard or impossible to restore it now. Norman has the right idea with his piece.
I really love this show!
I love seeing unwanted items given a new life!

Great save on that "#stofa".
They are all brilliant

I hate seeing antiques being destroyed. I would have taken thecabinet exactly as it was.
Agree. Very sad to see it this way....
Agree- no “Style update” needed. She’s going with what’s easy and does not require technical ability or wood working skills and can turn around fast.

I hope this is an old show because that bench would sell for a lot more in the states
Yes, Norman did a great job. He deserved more than 90 quid.
Wow Sarah, you have a great imagination! Well done.
Sarah is so talented!
The last leather sofa turned into a dress so………. Sarah is a true artist!!! Wow! I would so buy that bulrush bench! Fantastic!

Such a shame she got rid of the beautiful doors.

I feel bad for that cabinet😢

I like Norman. Norman's cool.

Why does Sara home in on total rubbish? Thank goodness Anthony is talented enough to make something out of nothing!
How does Sarah make any money.
