Whenever anyone mentions meditating, all I can think is "...I'd rather watch Angie." It calms me down and makes me very happy. Angie, thank you for all the rescues (furniture and bunnies) that you've ever done. I'm deeply grateful. ❤

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Wow! You are so incredibly welcome. I'm honoured to be able to help you wind down. 😊

[@blacksorrento4719]

Ironically I was thinking the same thing whilst watching that particular restoration. seeing the wood grain as the paint is stripped off, the sanding her movement is so calming, the minute Angie says Odie I clap, then of course the reveal. Absolutely loved this piece.

Haha I love it!!

[@novembermiss]

You are one of the youtubers I watch where I can just hit the "like" button before even watching the video. My fave transformations are the ones where you take these battered, hopeless looking cases and make them beautiful again--actually, better than when they were new. The wood veneer looks incredible, and this project was obviously meant to be because you already had the replacement pulls for the drawer handles! Kudos to the guy at the bin center for alerting you to this find! He knew it was best in your hands.

[@JazzyBlues79]

Great call on leaving the drawer handles "au naturale" so to speak. Their color is reflected in the brass of the drawer pulls. Speaking of those drawer pulls, wow! Those cleaned up so nicely!!!! And thank goodness you had the missing pieces!!! This drawer is quite the stunner and now will have another 50+ years of service. Amazing transformation; simple but wowerz! Another great video! By the way, loved the storm cloud footage. Love the coast line like that! Very dramatic but oh so beautiful, too! Cheers!

[@sdmcdaniel2255]

Angie, that chest of drawers is beautiful!!! I LOVE how you let the woodgrains shine through. Letting the drawer handles remain lighter, almost makes them match the drawer handles! I learned the hard way about 'rescuing' furniture that's been thrown out due to bedbug infestation! Someone that was staying with me for a while rescued a beautiful basinet (because she was pregnant and not working so was low on money) and unfortunately, it had been thrown out due to bedbugs. I didn't get a chance to inspect it before she brought it in my house, and within weeks our apartment was infested with them! It took us 8 YEARS, the loss of MOST of my furniture (twice), and ultimately a move to a new place with no carpets to FINALLY get rid of them!!! We had to replace mattresses multiple times, even with those protective covers on them, because the covers kept ripping and bedbugs got into the mattresses! It's one of the reasons I don't usually buy 2nd hand furniture anymore (unless I KNOW that where it is coming from is bedbug free). My whole family has been traumatized by bedbugs and is NOT something we EVER want to deal with again!!!!!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

First off - thank you so much but secondly - that sounds horrifying!! I'm so sorry that happened to you.

[@traciakierman1]

Odie's Oil as a finish and a sealant cannot be beaten. It is so much better than what that chest manufacturer used back in the previous mid century.

I never get tired of watching you work your magic on these pieces! This looks amazing. I recently refinished a dining table that I got for cheap off of Facebook marketplace. The whole time I was working on it I was thinking about the information I’ve learned from watching your channel. It had a gnarly stain/gouge in the veneer that I never would have been confident enough to tackle if not for your channel. It wasn’t nearly as impressive as anything you do, but I managed to turn an ugly looking table top into something I’m proud of. Thank you for sharing your talent and skill with the world!

Simply stunning. I keep coming back because I pick up technique tidbits with every single project. Things you have figured out that I have yet to encounter, like the issue with removing candle wax. You are so casual about your expertise, a true master of your craft. I worked with a guy once and he said about another employee, "I taught him everything he knows, but it isn't everything I know". I'll keep coming back to get closer to knowing what you know. Great stuff. Thanks again.

Absolutely beautiful!!! I love seeing these neglected, death-bed pieces brought to life again. Your attention to detail is what takes your projects to the highest level. I'm such a fan!!!

Beautiful result; so much better than new! Lucky that you had the matching hardware. People make fun of me for saving spare parts. They always say "But will you ever USE it?" The thing is, you never know, but when you do, it's a real lifesaver. All your hard work on this piece really paid off, it's gorgeous. Thank you for sharing. p.s. Miss seeing your cat helpers :)

You're very welcome! I'll let the cats know their presence has been requested. 😉

I have my dads old dresser and thanks to you I now know it’s called mid century modern with walnut veneer. It needs a little love but is in pretty good shape. This video gave me such happiness to know I can refresh her and make her beautiful

I'm so glad I could help! 😊

Angie, this is simply gorgeous. I love that you let the beauty of the grain be the star of the show. The piece is immaculate and someone will be thrilled to use this pretty dresser in their home. Really, really nice.
