As a Dane with tremendous love for our Danish heritage manifested in mid century modern furniture, this really really warmed my heart to see. I own many pieces of classic Danish furniture including some Andersen ones all passed down from greatgrams to grams to my father and then to me when he passed.

I don’t think it’s about it being a “thing” it’s just a way to categorize a time period and style of furniture,and it was during the mid century. I’m sure people who were your age in the 1950s thought the same thing about the art deco style they grew up with in their homes.I’m 46 and because 80s furniture was quite awful with fake velvet wagon wheel furniture no one sees that type of furniture coming back in style because it wasn’t stylish even when it first came out.The mid century furniture was ahead of its time but at the time no one thought it was.

This was a really interesting and amazing era for furniture, many of the styles continue to have an impact on design today.

Both versions are beautiful. It’s a shame people have made you feel like you need to justify your choices. You have a great eye for what will make a beautiful piece. To paint or not to paint is up to you. Others…well, they have their own choices to make…which reveal their characters quite clearly.

The fully restored, unpainted piece is absolutely beautiful. The color and grain are so rich and striking. You can truly appreciate the mid-mod look in all its glory.

Definite thumbs up. I’m on the side that it’s ok really to paint anything. Like you said, it’s just furniture. And you kind of confirmed that it’s not the end of the world if you paint something valuable. It can be stripped. Great job as always!

No regrets! I have learned so much from my mistakes over the years. Mistakes teach us how not to do things and they are life lessons. Keep your kindness out front...we all need it! Thank you!

Imagine what the world would be like if we all did the best we could with the resources at hand, learned as we went, and gave others the benefit of the doubt that they were doing the same. ❤️

You have restored this with love and it shows! That beautiful wood grain is breathing and smiling again. My neighbor lived to be 100 and he gave me two mid-century end tables and I let them sit outside under patio too long. They are now in my garage waiting for some love. Watching your video I now know what products to purchase and use to restore wood to life again. PS: I loved every minute of this video. So instructive.

It certainly is a beautiful piece. I love the contrasting stain colours because, in my humble opinion, it highlights the drawer detail and makes the whole piece look more interesting. Afterall, the doors were missing so it couldn't ever be brought back to original so why not have another small point of interest. The final result is well worth the effort👍.

Seeing the teak pieces you’ve restored has given me a new appreciation for my own. I was thinking I needed a new look overall…….but, I kept seeing the teak on your videos and just how gorgeous it looks. I’d never paint teak, so I thought of selling it. Now I’m thrilled to have so many pretty pieces and decided to just change up accessories in each room to get a new look. Gorgeous job on the side board in this piece, as always!♥️👍♥️

I am quite over 70 and in some of the best shape of my life. I have loved working with wood since I was in my 20's. Since then I have learned more skills than I can count, and lived in so many places I considered myself a gypsy for years. Now I am settled near Eugene Oregon, and bought a small mobile home which was in fine shape but not my style. I gutted it and started covering every surface with wood. The floors with shorts of oak flooring from a hundred year old house, the ceiling with thin cedar tongue and groove from a friend's pasture, and lastly the walls with cedar fencing that was removed from a home near me. Which brings me to my point. I ran across Mathew Peech on KZread. He was talking about making all kinds of small things with cedar fence pickets that sell. I have lots of small tools and so I thought that sounded like fun. Watching his channel and finding an old crappy coffee table alongside the road led me to finding a woman who calls herself "the furniture flipping teacher". What I liked about her is that she is thorough and mostly meticulous, in my opinion, but she strips and paints everything. Then I found you...I love that you restore things to their original wood finish whenever possible. Most refinishers just look for things to paint and I see how that saves time but it doesn't appeal to me who loves the look and feel of wood...You don't take shortcuts, you are honest about your mistakes, and you like to save anything that is made of good wood as in the video following the hurricane. I found your channel on July 1 and have been exclusively watching you ever since. I can see that I have sooooo much to learn about different woods, finishes and tools. Not sure there is enough time left in my life to reach the skill level you have attained but my goal is to see how close I can get, plus they say it helps keep your brain sharp when you learn stuff you didn't already know. Thank you for sharing in such a clear way. I think you spend the perfect amount of time showing actual footage and speeding up some parts that could become boring. I do have one request, at the end when you do the reveal, because of my age, I have a hard time remembering what something looked like from the before shots to the new look video. In this one you showed one and then the other consecutively at about 23 minutes in which I really appreciated. Also I like that you ended it with the new look rather than the original shape it was in. Thanks for your commitment to loving what you do, doing what you love and sharing it all with us.

The piece brought someone happiness, returned to you, and you've breathed new life into it and it all adds to its richness and history, and just makes it more special. Also, the two tone drawer fronts are a beautiful touch, I'm glad you kept them as they are. Still, I can only imagine the feeling when you realised after you had painted and sold it that those sideboards are worth thousands of dollars!! It made me wince in sympathy! You've given brilliant advice for aspiring furniture flippers out there, research is so important - thank you for sharing this. :)

Wonderful transformation as always! This piece is a now a timeless beauty. You brought up really great points in the video, the biggest takeaway for me is: research. Being older and a little wiser and taking the time to research pieces helps me appreciate furniture so much more than I did 15 years ago when I was totally taken with the chalk paint look. Thankfully I never painted anything of value. I wanted to at the time, because the Pottery Barn painted furniture look was popular and Annie Sloan was giving me those shabby chic vibes that I loved back then. I wanted to paint my inherited French provincial lowboy dresser so badly. Either due to my laziness or foresight, I left my quality furniture alone and the present day me, who appreciates beautiful furniture a lot more, is thanking my younger self for leaving those pieces original.

Love it! and I was wondering if you were going to make new doors to replace the missing ones, but honestly, the open shelving looks better than doors would. The world needs more openness. Hooray!

The wonderful thing about regrets is getting the chance to do something different when you see things differently. That’s rare, and I’m glad you got the chance.

I just did a harmony house piece very similar to the one you put up a few weeks ago. I could not think of what to do with it and then your video popped up. it is a very thin walnut veneer. The horizontal wood (2 X 4) under the top two drawers is a different wood type. But i was okay painting it because i considered what you said about these being mass produced. Also the veneer was so thin. i had to be so careful when stripping it. But it looks very similar in all ways to the one you did. So yes, i have painted mcm.

I can clearly hear the emotion in your voice as you speak about this piece. It would be interesting to know it’s full history to see if there is a reason for your connection to it. As always, you create art with your refinishing!

What redemption! I think the 2 tones on the drawers takes this piece to a whole new level!

You seem so gentle, humble and patient and it is therapy to watch you working on your furniture pieces. You put so much love and care into it and still make it look easy. Beautiful videos with beautiful results!!!! Hats off to you!!

Thank you kindly Wendy!

Your original version looked good and gave it an IKEA kind of vibe, which was attractive and clean-looking for a modern home. The new finish highlights the richness of the true MCM styling and looks so elegant. Love how you showed us what you have learned since your first efforts! I learn from each of your videos but especially this one. Thank you!

You're very welcome!

Wow ! What a labor of love ! Just beautiful - so ridiculous, though, that anyone would even think they have the right to tell another person what to do with their furniture - just live and let live, people - the world has a lot bigger problems right now than painting furniture -
