Mad City Modern
My name is Barry and I live in Madison, Wisconsin. My passion for restoring furniture goes beyond a mere hobby; it's a heartfelt commitment to sustainability and preservation. Each restoration project is a labor of love, a tribute to the craftsmanship of bygone eras, and a personal challenge to restore not just the physical piece but also its history.

NEED YOUR HELP! I’m Leaving, on a 4,000 mile road trip from Wisconsin to California and back, for something very special I hope to share on the channel soon. I did this last time and really enjoyed it, so if you don’t mind, please share 1 or 2 of your favorite songs I can add to a playlist for the drive. Also, feel free to share context. There won’t be a furniture video this weekend, but I promise the rest of 2025 will be full of weekly content. Thank you all for your love and support! Barry

Need Your Help! Working with stained glass is something I have never done, but I couldn’t pass up this future restoration project. I’ll likely have the glass repaired professionally, and just refinish the door. Tell me your thoughts on this piece, specifically the style and era if you know. Worth the $95 I paid for it? This door is a small piece of a much bigger puzzle in the future. Thank you in advance for your help. Barry

I know, probably not anything special, but I do like stained glass and found these doors for $20. Can any experienced folks tell me what I’m looking at, and what era? Also, what could be done to repurpose these? Thank you! Barry
