I wouldn't worry about how long your video is, because I think most of us could watch you all day! You are so talented and such a joy to watch! Beautiful piece as usual!

[@888-m2m]

I've never in my whole life seen anyone as talented as you! I'm 60 and have traveled quite extensively. Always blown away by your work.

[@suesherman3587]

I totally agree with you! Amazing as usual❤️

[@willtheman840]

For what it's worth, I'm older than you, and still agree.

[@maritapersdatterolufsen5174]

I totally agree! 😊 She has become my favorite,so much that when i see other furniture- makeovers,i think: "Angie would not do that in this way!" 😅

[@stephanieprice5780]

You definitely have a gift Angie!! Thank you for sharing your gift with us! I love the bunny clips!!❤️

[@darlacook4603]

You are definitely one of the best! Love your videos.

[@beforeandafterwithleannami6203]

Angie, your ability to see what the potential of a piece is never ceases to amaze me. That piece started out just fugly! Look at it now. Incredible.

[@dorothydrevnak6139]

So, I didn’t need any snacks and I didn’t fall asleep; I was too busy being enthralled with your content 🤩 Spending time watching your techniques and hearing you provide information on what you’re doing and about products is time well spent. Thank you for sharing another great video. Annnd that piece is unrecognizable. Beautiful result, as usual 😊

[@sarahcalderwood2750]

I love watching you transform pieces. You're my favorite "redoer". This piece turned out so nice. Thanks for sharing.

[@DEADZOOM]

It's nice to see an upcycler saying that solid wood isn't the be all and end all. I tell my students that manufacturers use chip board for a reason. Respect. Alan Boogaloo Exceptions

[@georginaavila8484]

Angie, what a wonderful talent you have! When you thank us for staying watching you work, I thought : " she doesn't know how relaxing her videos are!" I could watch longer just to see your art and listen to your soothing voice. Thank you!

[@candiesmith4329]

Beautiful! And at the 20 minute mark, I was there not wanting it to end.🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️😂

[@mimi2the4]

Thanks for not editing out the changes...some videos make this work seem effortless and easy, when we both know that is not always the case 😉

[@susanj711]

With your care, knowledge and expertise you save your clients from being plowed. They buy such a professional product. I think that's why so many of us enjoy watching your channel.

[@thecourtlyalchemist]

I've never started watching one of your videos and not watched it all the way through. This is true even of those ones that didn't have a delightful rescue bunny interlude. Love watching you (and bunnies too) give old pieces new life. Love the two-tone look and the pulls you picked. Weirdly this piece now strongly reminds me of the confessional at our old church. You do beautiful work.

[@karenlemke2943]

The best part about your “long” videos is you showing us the steps you take to get the finished outcome! You may not realize this but you are teaching budding furniture re-doers! I’ve been taking notes and have a long list of what’s needed to do this work as well! I’m relatively new to this work but feel so much more empowered to take on items I’d normally shy away from! Thank you for taking us all the way and not skipping a step!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

You're most welcome Karen! Thanks for watching, the world needs more people saving furniture. 😊

[@BiteandChiu]

Love your channel Angie! I'm a proponent of saving items from the landfill and your upcycled pieces are so inspiring. I bought an old sideboard 30 years ago that wasn't in great shape then. After many years of neglect from the hands of former tenants I thought the piece had finally reached the end of its lifespan. You've inspired me to look at the piece with fresh eyes and give it a new life. On a side note, you always put a smile on my face when you use recognizable food containers like the Tim Hortons cup and the Tre Stella containers😂 Cheers🇨🇦

[@kristannestone1748]

I'm so addicted. Each reveal is like watching a new goddess being introduced to the world.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Wow!! Thank you so much! ❤️

[@beverlyness7954]

You're right, the finished result looks like a simple project. It's good to see what it actually takes to make an ugly piece like this look really good. The final result is fabulous. The pulls are very nice and really match the shape of the piece. The light wood base gives it a bit of a modern vibe. Excellent Job!

[@beckyrubin3754]

I’d watch hours of you refinishing furniture. It’s a pleasure watching the care and time you put into each piece. This piece was transformed! Ah-mazing!

[@davidgrosvenor6685]

Most people dont spend as much time on the whole piece as you spent on just the base. You are amazing and your attention to detail is second to none. Please keep posting videos like this, they are one of the highlights of our week. David and Pam North Staffordshire England

[@tiffanysmallen3704]

I could watch you do this all day. Loving the longer videos. This piece turned out amazing as always!

[@freda2758]

That is some high end craftsmanship there. If the people who toss these pieces out could see how you transform them, they would be kicking themselves. I love how you keep the woodgrain in some parts. Really classy.

[@nichelebrownlee1471]

Angie I never think about how long the videos are. I love your attention to detail and that you throughly clean every piece. As always this piece is gorgeous.

[@marywiklander-williams6493]

Just stunning. With so many materials in one piece te black gave it a unified and classy look.

[@vickiebelk635]

You're a magician when it comes to refinishing furniture and you know how to repair stuff where you can't even tell it has been repaired. Great job!!! About the bunnies, how long do you keep them?

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

The ones I show in the video are our fosters- so we keep them until they are ready for their new homes! We also have four of our own, that were also rescues. ❤️

[@bigkeg9173]

When you put glue into cracks, try using a little suction cup to push the glue in. Place it over the crack and push up and down. Luthiers use this method on guitars 😊 Wonderful job 👍😊👍

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Very cool! Great tip!

[@clairewright8153]

Great tip 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@stevedarnell8444]

They also make dental syringes with little pointed tips.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

@@stevedarnell8444 yep! I find it’s a bit hard to get glue down those ones (typical wood glue, anyway.. hide glue might be easier) and this crack was too narrow for a normal glue syringe.. so floss it was. Haha

[@leewood729]

@@TranscendFurnitureGallery Never thought of using floss - good tip as well

[@conniedecrescenzo7782]

We are not amazing for watching ... YOU are amazing for all your hard work and expertise. Love seeing the project develop.

[@deborahmatatall]

I love the way this turned out. The wood with the black is so striking and dramatic. I learned another great trick - dental floss to get glue into really tight areas!🌸

[@deedee8053]

I’m amazed at what you can do! I could watch you for hours. God bless! 🙏🏼😘❤️. Btw…love the bunnies too!

[@ellaspage9783]

An absolutely gorgeous piece of art created here. I love your work and am learning so much from watching the processes you go through. 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for all the tlc you put into your work. So happy to have you as my teacher. 💕❤️ Love from London U.K

[@LazySusann]

Just the same thing that everybody else is saying, you are my favorite! I don't get stressed out watching you because you are very calm and methodical and love to show us glitches you've encountered. Helps to build my confidence, definitely helps us newbies to retain the info.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

I'm so glad to hear that! Thanks so much for watching!

[@deblync]

And again, another beautiful transformation! Please stop worrying about us getting bored with the "menusha" of the restoration process....we furniture nerds love it! Not only do I pick up some tricks I hadn't thought of, but sometimes really learn something I didn't even know I didn't know! (Say that 3 times really fast😜) Anyway...nice, simple , bespoke cabinet now. ❤💞

[@wandakowalski7063]

OK. the verdict is in: you are by far the best furniture refinisher on you tube. I really like the way you see beauty beneath the ugliness and save stuff from the garbage dump. That elm is gorgeous! I especially appreciate all the good tips you offer. That piece is fantastic. Thank you!

[@colleenrooney7725]

I love the work you do with your pieces. I’ve never been a fan of MCM pieces but I’ve changed my mind since watching your amazing transformations. I could watch you for hours and I learn something new with each video. 👍😎😃

[@silverstar6411]

I never imagined a person could work so hard !!! You're an angel in a human form. ❣👸💕💓💛🧡💜💝💗💖 !!!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Wow, thank you very much! 😊

[@ashleyosborne6239]

You really do “transcend” furniture, Angie. I commented last night on an older video of yours and the incredible quality of your work, bc of all that you put into every piece you do. And this is another gorgeous result of that work! Love the coal black against the natural wood and the gold pulls just knocks it out it of the park! Plus bunnies!! I love that y’all foster until the find a “furever” home😊💜. We have 2 rescue dogs, an older cat who was also a rescue and my daughter is a vet tech who’s currently fostering a kitten (each vet tech at her work took 1 of 3 to foster until they find a “furever” home). Thx for these videos!

[@marynapier2007]

Super job. I would not have imagined that this dresser could be transformed this so drastically and so beautifully. You are a true craftsman as well as furniture artist.

[@robinrummel1359]

An incredible transformation, beautiful and looking nothing like it's original condition! ☺️👍💖

[@ernierodriguez3505]

Your videos are like meditation for me. Your voice is so calming and the work you do is transcending. I look forward to all of your videos. I’ve watched each of them several times over. Thank you.

[@cantocant2346]

I get so excited when you post a long video!! Superb transformation as always. I could watch you fill holes with glue for hours, LOL

[@jennlizzy2019]

I love the "un"fun parts before the finishes. I have learned so much from your channel. And, to echo other comments, you have a remarkable eye for design. Thank you for sharing

[@denisehopkins6096]

I am always blown away by your remarkable transformations. I would've just pitched the whole unit not knowing that ugly duckling could turn into Cinderella!

[@lindeehopkins6439]

Oh! My! HEAVENS!! What a makeover!!! I know Someone who brings people back to life the way you did this piece!! You have a gift from Him to do with furniture what He does with people!! Wow wow wowza!! I love the bunny break! You are one gifted & talented young woman!! 👏

[@inesespanol3388]

That’s a great transformation. As always your work is wonderful. You are an inspiration to me a novice in repurposing old wooden pieces.

[@suusp-l8589]

You are a doctor for furniture and such a worker bee. Another great video. Very informative. I like that this video is longer and also loved the ukelele music in the intro!

[@meganhewitt200]

Beautiful job! Can I just say that now I always want a bunny intermission in your videos? They are sooo cute. 😍

[@carolvalentine2407]

Wow! Your vision and talent is the best ever! Give the bunnies a hug from me. 💜

[@lisettewurster3648]

Seriously is there nothing you can’t make look stunning? Omg gorgeous!

[@celine5506]

Classy, modern in a good way. Harborite furniture top often makes the midcentury furniture look cheap, but this is the 1st time I can look at it, and find it classy. Wow!

[@sarahjoyce5041]

Omg I love what you did with this piece. It must be hard to decide what to do with each new project. So many things you could do 🙂

[@coralspiker3440]

This is one of my favourite pieces you have done! LOVE IT! That base turned out so so well! Who would have thought that was all covered up! Great Job Angie!

[@rebelrefurb8397]

“Bunstruction”.. 🤣 I love it. That grey bunny has “hops” ☺️ Great job as always. I never get bored watching any of your videos.. I actually re-watch many of them multiple times. You always give such great tips and your attention to detail is unmatched. Thank you for always sharing with us! ❤️

[@melissaduarte655]

I love your long videos because 1. Your voice is relaxing 2. I learn technical terms (yellowy xD) 3. You are bringing a piece back to life and that is art

[@anastasiabekiari576]

Don't worry Angie, the longer your videos are the better! What a stunning piece!

Adorable Holland Lops. Piece of plexiglass up against your walls, not only keeps them clean, but also protect those baseboards from bunny teeth! Great way to recycle cardboard boxes 😊

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you kindly! 😃

[@CopperCactusDIY]

This turned out stunning! I love the contrast in the wood tone on the base, and the hardware is perfect. Feel like it's been a while since you painted a piece. Great job, great video!

You are inspiring me to get back into refinishing old furniture that I use to find while living in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, You wouldn't believe the old dressers and desk people just throw out.

[@tonyayoung4663]

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Hahah love it!

[@rowangrey6437]

Love the longer videos/seeing more of the process! The folks at Odie's should sponsor you, haha; I bought a jar of the universal oil after seeing you use it and now it's hard to bring myself to use anything else

[@sandramarshall7712]

I was not bored at all. It looks 1000 times better. You have excellent taste. I have an old dresser in my basement that we bought to restore 31 years ago. Still not done. I could weep.

[@maryjflanagan1922]

I can't get over how much I don't like Black, but love your coal Black furniture! The way the shape of the blobs matches the shape of the doors is fantastic. I really love that you showed all of the repairs. For just about every repair you do, I see an example in my old furniture. I have a schoo desk that's split.

[@gingercontreras8511]

My favorite way to start my day is with ☕️ and watching one of your videos! You are so brave! I would never have thought to remove the entire bottom piece. But thank goodness you did! Total game changer!!! As always thanks for explaining the details of your work. 🤗

I always appreciate how thoroughly you explain the steps !

[@jlnriddick]

I had no idea that piece of furniture could ever look that good. It started out truly F-ugly, and as always, you made it beautiful! It's one thing to know how to fix problems on a piece of furniture, tighten this, glue that, but it's quite another to have a vision for how it would actually look beautiful enough to have someone want to pay for it to be in their home! Wow Angie, you picked the right line of work! What's the saying... "Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life"? Something like that. Another successful, gorgeous piece going back out into the universe! Great Job!

[@janetevans2711]
