EASY 1 coat paint technique - BUILDING A CUSTOM BASE - Vintage Dresser Makeover

[@diannameyers8163]

Don't worry about what people think so much. This is your channel, you are the artist and you are running the SHOW!!!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you very much!

[@kanutta1016]

Beautiful! I believe the custom base you have seen all over KZbin actually is DIY WIFE's

[@countryfrau8328]

I just found you. It is so refreshing to see a woman with competence in woodworking and refinishing! Yay! Thank you!!

[@tlims1974a]

😮Wow.... girl you need a table saw, a shop to put it in, and all the trimmings! You are a master carpenter! Gorgeous! You made using that jig look like a Sunday walk in the park. Thumbs up 👍🏻.

[@jobellecollie7139]

I'm glad I'm not the only person who saves pieces off the curb!

[@louannfellersengle5232]

What a magnificent transition. Most people would pass the original piece by as "junk". You have taken a rather common piece to a whole different level of beauty!

[@memosandmore]

You know you’ve reached a level of awesomeness when your own stuff is your inspo ❤️💕☺️

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@SteeleMagnolia]

Absolutely stunning! You've done oak sooooo right. The only quality I like about oak is that it's super solid, making for sturdy furniture. FYI, ALWAYS use a dust mask, and do any sanding you have to on oak outside or in a well ventilated area. This is especially so with red oak. I'm a cancer survivor (head cancer), and was a case study for Emory Winship Cancer Institute. Being a hardcore woodworker, as well as a Jill-of-all-trades (forget Jack), I lazily chose too many times to not take all precautions with toxins and dust. Studies show that the toxins in oak wood is very caustic, red oak more than white oak. Because of my age at the time of diagnosis, 44, I was the only female known to have such a rare and unique cancer, with traces of multiple myeloma. The tumor developed in one of my maxillary sinus cavities, showing that the culprit was inhaled. Please take care of yourself, cause the world needs your videos and works of art!

[@mariamolina5930]

Sorry to hear about what happened to you. TY 4 sharing & caring to warn others 💞 I hope all the best for you.

[@nancyzurn4774]

Sending love and light

[@Lorraine--on3ij]

Hi Angela. I am interested in speaking with you about your diagnosis. I have a sinus injury. Been off work since May 2020. I worked at a call centre. Too much strong perfume scented laundry detergent smell burned my sinuses. I saw an allergist in February of 2020, and after testing he said I don't have any allergies. Then asked he asked me if I was involved in a chemical spill. I said, " no," he said, "are you sure". I said, "yes". It's didn't really sink in, (with me) what he was actually saying until months later. I have lots of headaches, slightest thing like even burnt toast. I was wearing a mask before everyone else was, charcoal filter, due to scent issue. I am very limited with going anywhere. Been on a waiting list to see specialist, since June of 2020. I take lots of natural supplements to help with healing, etc. I have researched the chemicals in laundry detergent, and the different sinuses in our head, and how it can cause pain in parts of our body. I would really appreciate any information that you may be able to provide. Thank you.

[@halo218813]

This story is so sad 😿 I'm so sorry that happened to you, glad you are a survivor ❤️. It's sad you got that doing what you love.

[@mrss4278]

Wow. That is quite the story. I’m glad you’re OK and sharing your experience will be very helpful to many people I’m sure.

[@jaynemaggie]

Oh wow😍, does not look like the dresser... So elegant and rich and the hard wear gives it that lift of luxury .. I love it, everything about it... Beautiful 🥰❤️

[@debraowen6723]

Absolutely queenly! Love the gold hardware!!

[@colleenepage]

The custom base transforms the piece from functional furniture to a fashionably fantastic piece of art. Well done Angie!

[@RachelAnnPotter]

I agree, it really balances the piece.

[@832KJV]

I was prepared to tell you "I hate the hardware" but....once finished, the whole piece looks incredible. Your taste and skill level is reaching excellence. Really well done!

[@everybodylovesducksauce7158]

Lol same! I'm so glad it looks so amazing!!!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you! Yeah, I could have drilled new holes and changed it, but I like the melding of the vintage look of the hardware and the more modern style base. It’s an interesting juxtaposition , at least to me. I know some folks will hate it. Haha but that’s true of pretty much anything :-)

[@valeriehowden471]

And keeping them kept the costs down given the new oak base.

[@dianewerckle4983]

@@TranscendFurnitureGallery I agree, that was my thought as you shared the finished dresser. Your talent and skill shine through in every one of your pieces! I always look forward to your new videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge-I love your melodic voice and gentle touch on your works of art.

[@CharronMcLeod]

Giving them the gold tone update really helped as it married with the paint colour. I love the handles!!

[@pamelaparsons3749]

Bravissimo 👏👏 I am a design consultant for a high end furniture store and we do 90% Uber custom occasional pieces. You’re bringing to life exactly what the savvy customer is looking for!🎉👏

[@rhondabliss4620]

Beautifully done.

[@annezimmerman4262]

This is great…I have an old, funky 70’s dresser..but it’s solid white pine, no veneers. You’ve inspired me to give some new life to the old girl. I bought it from the Salvation Army store 15 years ago…lol! It lived through 2 boys and now will get a facelift. 😎

[@vdubing01]

$20 garage sales find glows up to $500 resale shop find. Looks awesome. I love it. Nice work.

[@EvakerstinL]

I'm amazed at your work. You take pieces that I wouldn't look at twice and make magic with them. So far it hasn't been one single piece that I didn't think could look very nicely in my living space. And the quality of your work. It's absolutely excellent. You are an artist.. thank you for sharing 😁

[@tinamcivor2996]

The paint "wash" creates subtle variations that add to the unique look! She's a beauty! You did so much work!

[@violetspider_]

That's exactly why i don't like it look like someone tried to paint it. Natural look for me, or burnt 🤷

[@fridayschild19]

You are such an artist! Love how you give these pieces new life. I don’t do refinishing, but I find your restorations mesmerizing!

[@loriemckinstry5652]

never saw you before this..I'm too old now ..81..but I loved refinishing things when I was younger..before KZbin, of course..but I love thia....very nice job..

[@marniebella]

My mother had a set very similar to this. Never did I think anything could make it look appealing. But you did in spades. Bravo.

[@SandraK5424]

This is GORGEOUS! Makes me think how these could be made into beautiful kitchen islands!

[@peggymalabuyoc9150]

Who knew that beautiful piece of furniture was just waiting to be discovered? Your work is incredible and this project speaks for itself . So beautiful and elegant! Amazing job! 👏🥰

[@briandwestphal]

VERY well done! My father was a woodworker, so I've grown up around it and do some woodworking myself. You've actually inspired me to do more furniture recycling/refinishing. Keep up the great work!

[@scottguthrie8074]

Amazing and inspiring! Imagination meets perspiration and creates freedom from the oppression of the status quo!

[@robertajay9053]

That base makes it look more elegant. Great job.

[@SuzanaBehmer]

Absolutely beautiful! The base is perfect ! I love the wash !!!!!!!!!!

[@trishwilson7517]

So many things to be amazed by with this one, Angie. For starters, you took Renfrew Blue and turned it into a dark olivey green (huh?) Then that "wash- but more than a wash" technique with a 3 in 1- is just terrific! Lastly that base was exactly what it needed. As usual your instruction is clear and concise. You knocked this out of the ballpark, my girl!

[@jodidavis6595]

You have a great sense of creativity when it comes to deciding on when to paint or stain. This is gorgeous. Well done

[@marylem9277]

Amazing job of recreating a new design out of old furniture.

[@Pamer21]

Omigosh. My mom and dad had that exact dresser/bedroom set. It's Bassett. And yes, 1970's. 😅🤣 In the early to mid 70's, there was a whole "Spanish" flair going on. Beautiful end result

[@someguyonli]

I've been watching your videos for a few weeks. I just subscribed today. Your vision completely blows my mind. I think you're brilliant in the way you reimagine these pieces.

[@megh1684]

Phenomenal!! I actually have a dresser that is similar in size, oak grain and vintage, right down to the hardware. I now know there is a very cool option for refinishing it. Thanks!

[@wandagoncalves3049]

This piece turned out gorgeous, I love the color, base, pulls. Absolutely beautiful, outstanding job.

[@ladyheinz9250]

You definitely transformed that clunky dresser into a phenomenal piece of furniture!

[@ritabook5335]

Gorgeous. Piece of junk made into a beautiful piece of furniture. Great job. You've got skills!

[@debbiesherby]

You hit this out of the park Angie! Love love it!! Stellar 💕✨🇨🇦

[@missterry626]

Wow! Absolutely phenomenal. I'm not so crazy about the base but truly a masterpiece. Thank you

[@Jo-Anne-mn7bq]

This is an AMAZING flip.. Came out GORGEOUS!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@roselightcafe1754]

🤩SIMPLY EXQUISITE ‼️ GREAT JOB 👏🏽‼️‼️💜 Excellent choice if colors & technique…. Totally 💯 love that color shade of green 👍🏽💚

[@pattycake5365]

Good Job! Love the color and by adding the bottom legs really made the dresser POP.

[@joannjukes4474]

Hi Angie. Everything you've done with this dresser looks amazing. I too am not a big fan of oak, but with this technique, you really do need the wood grain. I love how the wood grain peaks through the paint. I just did a nine drawer dresser a couple weeks ago and made the same oak base. I'm in Ontario and it cost me a little over $110.00 with tax. With wood costing so much right now, it's a huge cost, but I think it's well worth it. My husband is from New Brunswick and we both love it down in the East coast. You're luck to live where you do. Always look so forward to your video's coming out. I feel you are one of the most talented furniture artist on You tube. Thanks for another great video. Have an awesome rest of your day. 🖌

[@HopeLove123]

What a change, has to be a favorite piece of furniture, for anyone that sees it. Beautiful and alot of work for you. Smart lady, you are.

[@peaches833]

You’re truly extraordinary. You certainly have an eye for detail. I’m a fairly ‘new’ watcher of furniture refinishing videos and imho you have that extra something-that TLC for the pieces you work on-that would/should make you stand out. Your finished products are absolutely beautiful. And thank you so much for your full explanations of the process. Very inspirational. ✌🏻

[@leslieannalbright4772]

Time to sell one of your transformations and buy that good used table saw. And you do amazing work. Can’t believe how you made that hardware look almost like jewelry. That is now a very proud piece.

[@annoymousme722]

Beautiful piece of furniture you created out of old outdated furniture that most people would not give a second look at. Excellent job!

[@WilletteB]

You have done a beautiful restoration. I'm thinking of all the old pieces I've discarded through the years because I didn't have a clue of how to repair them. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

[@margaretkarner9593]

Angie you did a beautiful job. The base looks great.

[@julier5352]

I just happened upon your channel and so happy I did. I’m blown away by this piece and your attention to detail while explaining. Beautiful!

[@rodramsey9756]

That's an incredibly tasteful design. Way to pit your mind in it.

[@twngrl56]

I have that dresser! And the matching 'Chest of drawers'. I have to show this to Hubby! YAYYYY! This will be SO exciting because he's also quite the handy man in our home. (He's been getting ready for retirement, and filling his shop with wood working tools) THANK YOU for this video. You are SO talented!!!

[@ann6030]

Absolutely gorgeous !!! You really made it a keeper!!♥️♥️♥️

[@clarechomyn9686]

Drop dead gorgeous! This piece is so beautiful. You do outstanding work. I'm so glad you have a love for restoring or saving as much of the original as possible. I love, love this piece.

[@andieaisel6893]

That was an incredible, very interesting transformation! Very explanatory, awesome job!

[@jenntip]

Ok...listen...I am one of those people who can't stand it when people ruin vintage or antiques with paint. But this is just gorgeous with a perfect balance!!! WTG!!! 💪

[@leehelmick4065]

Oh em gee! That is unexpectedly gorgeous!!! I don[t think I would have been so happy with it without the added bottom piece. It really made all the difference in the world. You know what? I never noticed the legs were a different oak/finish. You really have an eye for this work! And thank you for all your little tips! You're the best!

[@jeprusan]

I’ve seen 70s furniture makeovers like this before-and they didn’t turn out so well-but you NAILED this one! I’d pay top dollar for that piece with no hesitation. Beautiful job! You also have a new subscriber. Watching these types of videos are SO relaxing for me. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to watching more!😊❤️👍🏼

[@joleneplourde9885]

For your first platform with legs you nailed it Angie! Great job and I love the glaze effect!❤️❤️

[@PatcoxKennedy]

Absolutely beautiful. Such style

[@corrieernsdorff4351]

i have the same dresser and love what you did to make it look amazing.

[@roseelley4470]

We have the same one too!! What a wonderful video !!

[@anncollins8190]

You did an amazing job. Attention to detail is outstanding. Stay safe and Always use a mask.

[@leslieblackshear802]

That base was the perfect addition

[@CedarPineDesigns]

Wow. You absolutely knocked this one out of the park. The transparency through the color exposing the wood grain is such an innovated technique. Love the base and color contrast. Awesome work.

[@bjharrison4460]

The wood tone on the top replicated on the bottom really made this piece look balanced. And the gold on the handles totally pulled the whole look together. The dresser looks so polished and elegant.

[@lorrainewhitlock5377]

Angie I just love the way this piece came out. That glazing is just beautiful

[@Yodi430]

I hv never watched your channel before today. It popped up in my feed. That is very fine work! Beautifully done! Absolutely gorgeous!!!

[@peekaboots01]

Amazing! And thumbs up for pretty Willow! 🐯🐾🐾

[@sharimccann2522]

I loved the whole process and……it’s absolutely gorgeous 😁

[@rhondarodriguez5503]

Gorgeous! I would love to see this in a grey wash look!

[@namerieraynecarraway]

That is absolutely gorgeous! I love the contrast between the stained wood and paint and still being able to see the beautiful wood grain instead of it concealed beneath layers of paint. You inspired me to want this done with my oak bedroom furniture, possibly some other oak furniture I have in my house. You did an amazing job. You projects definitely transcend to the next level.

[@kimaribelleslayonadime]

Absolutely OUTSTANDING!!! Great Job!

[@danithemoongoddess]

Stunning! And I love how the color appears greenish!

[@junehess501]

AAAA+, Angie! I see dressers exactly like this on FB Marketplace all the time and I could never re-envision them- now, I can, thanks to you! You get a great job in the base, too. Girl, you need a miter saw and a table saw! It’s time!!

[@escargot905]

And a chop saw

[@freebird8993]

Way to go for evolving and incorporating different skills to create a one of a kind unique piece!

[@robertray6021]

I really like this a lot and a whole bunch too! That shade of green is just beautiful. The jewelry gives it just the right amount of Bling and the soft wood tones make it cozy. Grrreat job! ❤️ P. S. If you had to buy all that jewelry today, it would probably cost more than you have in that whole piece. Smart move!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@AshkenaziChristian]

The hardware looked incredible after you polished it up. Impressive.

[@angelinasheeders7079]

Wow! I was not expecting a game changer. Bravo sister

[@pinkhightops4me]

I'm at the start of dipping my toe into this expression of art with you being my absolute favorite inspiration. With the exception of trying to figure out the maths of that solid foundation you custom built, your work tugs at my motivator button. My 1950 ish bankers desk was tortured in storage for five years so he needed a redo. You nudged me. Hey, thank you for your videos. I enjoy learning from you.

[@mama_mia737]

That came out exceptionally well! It’s stunning!

[@inchworm56]

Thank you for the inspiration. I have a dresser almost identical to this and was thinking of painting it a dark green/black and stripping the top - restaining it a nice mid-toned wood colour. I've been thinking of painting the hardware bronze with a copper highlight and what you've done with yours has helped to solidify that idea for me...thanks again.

[@cleoharper1842]

Out-freakin-standing. Really well done. I hated those furniture pieces in the 70s-80s but this is something entirely different.

[@PastelCreationsByKatrina]

The new bottom matches the top perfectly x another gorgeous piece x

[@deehicks4433]

We've got the same exact bedroom set as this! Amazing what you've done with it! Very inspirational!

[@lindawooters4831]

Stunning

[@marywiedeman6936]

Wow, GORGEOUS! I've never seen this paint technique before. I have a really old oak dresser that this would be perfect on. Thanks for all your videos; you do such great work and it's a joy to watch you and learn!

[@marianpassik7248]

I couldn’t imagine how making a base for this was going to make it look less dated but you absolutely pulled it off. And I agree I don’t love to work with oak either. It always seems stated to me. But I love love love this piece

[@themortalriver565]

That is absolutely draw dropping! 😍

[@debmadden4157]

Phenomenal job Angie

[@Em-sr7pr]

You never disappoint Angie. It’s absolutely gorgeous. I love how you kept the top wood and I love the base that you built. The color is also beautiful. Love your channel ❤️ PS… I’m so glad you kept the hardware. It’s beautiful.

[@melgraner175]

That IS TRULY phenomenal! Thanks for sharing this “transcend” with us Angie!

[@debz6110]

Amazing! You deserve that table saw and all the tools you need. Your explanation was clear. I really like that the base matches the top. Also the cleaned hardware looks good and if you feel like swapping it out with something contemporary like leather straps, that would be cool too.

[@mitziekennedy]

Gorgeous 😍😍! I LOVE the new base on it! I wish you were closer to me so I could buy one of your pieces!! I'm not a big fan of painted furniture but I always love what you do!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

I'll consider it extra high praise then! Thank you so much for watching Mitzie!

[@bethkrager6529]

Very Southern home and garden. Vintage and modern mixed. Very eye catching.

[@deborahmatatall]

I love this! I’ve never seen this before and I’m excited to try it. I have two pieces that would look great with this treatment. I love watching your videos. I just learn so much. The base looks great. I can see this in a dining room as a statement piece. Thank you for another inspiring video.🌸

[@laureenhawes8093]

Excellent job! It reminds me of a piece I did back in the 90's. I wanted a piece that I could put plants on so I tiled the top but I love yours better!

[@cris_ad]

This is my absolute favorite piece that you have ever made. I love dark green. I love the old fashioned hardware. I love the texture of the wood. The only thing missing (for me, I like old looking things) are some of those furniture legs that look like lion paws, haha. Also I love the kitty cat!

[@YanaSpencer]

Stunning. And the kitty is a great inspector!

[@patty4709]

Glad you used same hardware. Great job as I love seeing old pcs saved.

[@annettearties8538]

This is exactly what I needed to see, I have a piece of furniture that needs taller legs but has same base that you are making. Tfs. Excellent job, you definitely brought this piece up to date.

[@tomsuzanneprescott8207]

This is gorgeous, I love the paint technique. My daughter in law has a piece similar to this, I'm going to see if she will let me recreate this on it. I've done pieces for her previously. Thank you!

[@brendaschwieterman1350]

I really enjoyed watching this. You are so talented. It’s BEAUTIFUL!! I absolutely love the new base and legs. I’m not a big fan of oak either, but you made this work! Great job!

[@Val_Emrys]

I admit to being a little skeptical at first but you are right, it is now a stunning work of art and utility.

[@pamelabryant7390]

Wow!!!! You were absolutely correct by putting that bass at the bottom. I don’t think this video is too long at all I love the detail you go into. You’re actually building up my courage. Please stay safe and God bless you and yours.♥️🌹🇺🇸
