I Transformed This LAMINATE Cabinet into a Mid-Century Beauty

This video is about a cute mid century style stand makeover, giving it a facelift with some paint on the exterior and refinishing the legs!! I think it may have been a TV stand or radio that someone modified at some point!

I just found your channel a couple days ago and I’m very serious - your channel is the very best. And not just the work you do... your intro of your videos, editing, everything. I love that you show everything, like when you forget a step or something. It’s real, it’s educational for those of us still learning, and everything you do is beautiful. Even if it’s not my “style” it’s just gorgeous. I love it. Best channel, hands down.

[@pattiereiter9265]

I agree

[@DS-qw1tp]

Agree 100%. So glad I found her!

[@julieritter3973]

Me too : )

[@ephphathaoracle]

Yes! I watch several but always prefer these videos.

[@cantocant2346]

Your music choices make your already great videos even more enjoyable.

[@nayeemarashid8032]

I love the way u give any furniture a 2nd life, making the junk to a loved piece again. I guess I have seen all your flipped video and love all your work. I am a geographer, I may never flip any furniture in my life,but I just love seeing the process of making a beautiful piece and have a 2nd opportunity to be loved.please upload many more

[@gillybean5672]

Love your coworker ❤️

[@joannecraft-lane8660]

This piece would have held a turn table (record player) in the smaller opening at the top. The bottom would have housed a brass holder for vinyl albums (33s). I used to see these as a child in the early 1960s.

[@dha588]

Thanks for the history !

[@mastiffmom2592]

I’m not disagreeing with you, I just can’t imagine having to squeeze into that little space dealing with album’s and the needle, all the things. Very interesting. 💕

[@robynw6307]

Agree, except for one thing. The turntable would've been on the top, and the amplifier would've been on the shelf.

[@pattiereiter9265]

I think it is to store records! hahaha I remember seeing something VERY similar back in the 50s and 60s!

[@cherylcarnes4207]

Thanks Angie. Cute stand. Your kitty is adorable.

[@kateallen2621]

Love the tip for going around the curved foot caps with short peices of tape. Clever!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Oh it’s so much easier than fighting with the tape! Haha :-)

[@bridgetbrown8351]

It's beautiful. And kitty is so cute!👍😍👑💖🤗🤩😘😎😇👏☕

[@sherylmccrystal3804]

That is amazing. You took something functional and made it look NICE!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much for watching! 😊

[@galady8632]

Another nice transformation. Such a clean and modern look.

[@briannaoduinn8902]

Another great job! I need to be working on my own pieces, but instead, I'm binge watching you work. It's so much easier than doing the work myself! lol Thanks for sharing.

[@evelyncraft1361]

Very pretty. Was not sure how I’d like the white, but it looks great with the contrasting wood! Way to go!!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you very much!

[@adrabruzzese7610]

Simple and elegant. Good call on leaving the interior untouched. The legs make the peice.

[@dottiemathews6853]

simply FABULOUS!! AND THE KITTY APPROVES TOO! LOL!!!!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Haha thanks so much!! 😄

[@victorialove9104]

An adorable piece! I had no idea you could make laminate look so high end.

[@kaiblack3334]

I am a total fan... 🤗🤗🤗

[@nancyrogers3290]

I've watched a couple of your videos now. You are truly an artist, you're so talented! And a fellow Nova Scotian to boot - even better!

[@regbowden6829]

Just loving what you do

[@nickireed796]

AWESOMENESSNESSNESS!

[@pattimercer9357]

I love that you left the interior alone! The contrast is beautiful! Enjoying your videos very much!

[@phyllisholt4847]

Love the finished look.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you! 😊

[@polgara28]

Very cool piece!

[@KThom429]

Love that you keep the interior the wonderful wood color. Beautiful piece.

[@mastiffmom2592]

Two tones are my favorites. 💕

[@isabelbergeron2010]

You have a very good eye in updating old furniture. Impressive taste!

[@KellyBrown-jg1jz]

Beautiful.

Very cute 💕 🌻

[@rebeccavinyard2899]

Pretty! MCM is my favorite

[@hephzibah1966]

Another beauty

[@anncastaneda934]

Haha! That’s how I sand my legs too!!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

haha, gets it done!

[@diannthomas7849]

I'm pretty sure that is a stereo cabinet. The turntable would be on top, the receiver in the middle section, and the record albums in the big section on the bottom. I may be wrong, but we had something similar and that was how ours was used.

[@valeriehowden471]

Yes! Now I remember the receiver in the top shelf and two separate speakers in wooden boxes with cloth/mesh on the front. Back then tv's came in their own cabinet... at least the high end ones did. Seen one repurposed into a fish tank.

[@aot9644]

This is the piece I didn't know I wanted and needed. 🤗

[@cer145]

So simple yet so beautiful! Kitty is adorable!!!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

She’s a sweetheart, and the smartest cat I’ve ever known- she’s honestly more like a dog sometimes than a typical kitty! Haha :-)

[@stephenferguson988]

Another great step-by-step video. Next time I paint I will use aluminium foil in the tray to ease the clean up. Thanks for the helpful tips.

[@fdort3971]

@TranscendFurnitureGallery considering your love of furbabies...you could easily turn the lower level into a low profile framed bed for them!

[@knut982]

Love the colour combination.

[@laurielaframboise9311]

Love the mid century modern style and I have that exact paint that I have projects for and you inspire me to get it done

[@chandarussell]

I love your furry four legged inspector.

[@brigidadebarros1720]

Simple and stunning. Love it!

[@suethatcher8966]

Love it 💋❤️

[@RakelDaNell]

One can... and one often does. One is me.

[@cherylleong2964]

brilliant

[@julieritter3973]

Wow super cool quick makeover, and I learned some new things as well. The metal on the legs that needs to be refreshed....nice !

[@taramac5028]

I love the contrast between the colours . Beautiful work ❤️

[@conniesanders9755]

Great job. Mom never looked so good second time around.

[@beverlykumm1731]

Looks great. So simple with great results.

I can’t decide what’s more beautiful...that cabinet or your cat. Sorry - cat wins 🐈

[@elizabethlevine4263]

Beautiful piece!

You have an amazing eye, I wish I had that gift.

[@brendalowery6149]

I love your intro. I can see your passion to save all you can. Great job

[@maryperner9625]

This piece resembles an old, but perfect, stereo cabinet I have, minus the front panel.

[@juliewohlfarth9627]

Nice job! I really like the inside natural😃

[@kathywiszowaty4607]

Nice little piece, love the revival you gave it!!!

[@theresedignard4267]

I think actually was a TV set that someone modified to reuse. Circa 1950s.

[@MISSJHON]

beautiful!

[@Steven-de8zc]

Great job! You took it from drab and tired too fresh and crisp. Although it would make a great TV stand I think it looks much too nice for that I like the way you had it displayed. Just my opinion.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thanks so much for watching! 🙂

[@kimberlybarker7458]

Love it!

[@sandrachaluisan3048]

I absolutely love this! I have two end tables (some call telephone tables) that i could do something similar to. Thank you for sharing. New Sub now :)

Oh MAN! This is just so CUTE and yet SO ELEGANT! Another great job!!!! I just love your voice and your style! SOOOOO AWESOME! You are fantastic! I don't suppose you live in Florida, a couple miles away??? hahaha Wouldn't THAT be fun--you drink the tea, I drink the COFFEE! ahahahahahaha

[@resinasylum]

Hey Angie. Love your videos!! So glad I found your channel. Do you only use fusion mineral paint? You're an amazing furniture artist. Keep up the amazing work and thanks for sharing all your knowledge.

[@VJaber]

I just found your channel...now a year later. I'm going back to the beginning and coming forward. You may not even see this, but I'll try. How could you tell this was laminate? I'm wanting to know how you can tell this is walnut or this is oak or...you get the picture. Does that just come with experience? Thanks. I love your videos. You are a true inspiration.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

I actually have a video up on that very subject. It is here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaitXmBsqJKsosU Also this video on common wood types : kzbin.info/www/bejne/l32UaZmVqJ1ladk I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thanks so much!!

[@superannieoakley4513]

Another beautiful piece! So glad I found your channel. Have been enjoying your videos a lot. May I ask what u'd ask for a piece like this? Not normally a mid-century kinda girl, but I really like the pieces u've redone

[@jannygauthier4533]

Great piece! Would a latex primer stick to scuffed laminate? I'm wondering about priming first, then using the more expensive paint? Thanks!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

My go-to primer is actually Zinzer BIN shellac based primer- it’s amazing at covering stains and preventing bleed through on wood, and has great adhesion as well on slicker surfaces. :-) I’ve never actually used a latex primer on furniture before!

[@saraoliver4754]

Yay! Quality Control is back on site! :-)

[@michelleadamchak1330]

Where is your store located Angie? Depending on the location, I'd love to come and see your pieces up close and personal. Your pieces are just phenomenal!

[@dulceguizar3318]

Everything you do is beautiful, after the 3 coats of pain did you apply a finish product???

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

No I didn't. Fusion Mineral Paint has a built in top coat then when cured is quite resilient. But you can always add extra protection if you want to, or the piece requires it for high traffic areas. Thanks so much for watching!

[@dulceguizar3318]

@@TranscendFurnitureGallery thanks for answer 😊

[@myriammoquin2684]

Man you must spend so much time at thrift stores and on Kijiji!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Oh you know it! Always searching.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

But I also source from auctions, estate sales, yard sales, etc :-)

[@rebeccas9529]

Kitty!!!

[@kevinharris8590]

Is there anyway I can send you pictures of my projects and get your thoughts on how should finish them?

[@maryannschumacher1370]

Love your videos, so beautifully done! Do you still do tattoos in addition to furniture?

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

I am getting out of tattooing now, just wrapping up my remaining clients. Thanks so much for watching!

[@betzhecrodriguez]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@annodnostaw9971]

Do you use a topcoat to protect finish?

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

I do in some cases. Fusion mineral paint actually has a built in top coat, so once it fully cures, is actually quite tough on its own (as opposed to chalk paint, which always needs to be sealed). In some applications, I’ll add a topcoat just for some extra protection, but it doesn’t always require it.

[@annodnostaw9971]

@@TranscendFurnitureGallery I have not yet tried the Fusion Mineral paint. I love Annie Sloan Chalk paint the best along with her wax. Waverly Chalk paint is my second favorite and their waxes are very good as well. For the price, Waverly covers very well. Dixie Bell is my third favorite and they have beautiful colors and tons of other paint products. So much variety out there and I love trying everything. Do I have the money? IDK.

[@melonmahfood2439]

Really curious as to how you price your pieces. Is this something you would be willing to share with your youtube family?

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

It may be something I do more of in the future, but for now, check out my Instagram page (same user name). I keep some of the prices up on the listings even after pieces sell (not all.. but some 😊).

[@Mcquinn65]

What is TSP??

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Trisodium phosphate, commonly called TSP, is a packaged, blended cleaning product consisting of 75 to 80 percent trisodium phosphate and 20 to 25 percent sodium carbonate.
