This transformation just deeply touched my heart! I could see how much you and your wife must truly love each other with every careful attention to detail you did, and with her complete trust in you. I was already loving this video from the Get-Go (and of course, Daisy!) but I was not prepared for the final result! Even tho it’s mainly MDF- this desk is fit for royalty! As I’m certain Emma well deserves! Absolutely gorgeous! 👏👍🌟🤘💖

How sweet
There's nothing more precious than a gift that someone has put their hands to, whether it's a bouquet from the gaarden, a homemade cake or a painting. This is certainly a special gift to someone special to you. Happy Belated Birthday to your lovely wife. Kisses to Daisy as well.

That's the first time I've ever seen leather refinished on a piece. The dye process was very interesting. Thanks, David, for sharing your present to Emma. She must be thrilled with it.

Really pleased you like the colour. Emma loves her new/old desk 😃😃
I was skeptical when you were painting the desk. I'm a firm believer in natural wood finishes but, I think you may have changed my mind. That was the most stunning refurbishing on an old desk that I've seen to date. Bravo and brilliantly done. I hope your lovely wife enjoys it! New ideas for my old desk...thank you.

That’s a great comment, thanks so much. I love restoring but I also love how you can transform some pieces with an injection of colour 😀👍
I didn't know a redyed leather top would look this great... I always learn something new & helpful in your vlogs. Long hours of work & attention to every detail has turned this once scruffy piece into a very handsome desk that deserves pride of place in Emma's new office. Another great vlog, David 🙏 Thank you, Emma, for the roles you play in bringing this to us. You're both very appreciated.

I am gobsmacked at your superb transformation. It looks so beautiful and you certainly wouldn’t guess it was mostly MDF/Chipboard. You have put such a lot of care and attention into this desk and I am sure your wife is thrilled with it! Can’t wait for the next restoration!

I have to say, I was more than a bit skeptical until I saw how that blue made the wood on the drawers absolutely GLOW -- they look positively lit from within! And the copper touches against the blue ... one of my very favorite combinations. Absolutely lovely.

My dad was sometimes bad about doing things for other people to the detriment of our house. Mom always said the best way to get him to do something for her was to start doing it herself. This is a beautiful piece and obviously a labor of love.
Pride of place now in Emma’s office. Love it as I’m sure Emma does xx well done x
