REFINISHING a discarded dresser - saved from the trash!

My first REAL KZbin video (!) is all about saving a vintage Kaufman Furniture dresser from a date with a dump truck. Plucked from the side of the road, I work over two full days to repair, refinish, and turn this solid piece into something BEAUTIFUL! I love a wood and paint combination!
PS- YES, I know the music is loud. I was still learning. You'll find my later videos much better with the audio!

Hi all! Thanks for watching my FIRST OFFICAL VIDEO! Yes, I'm aware the music is a little loud. lol It was my first one, and I've been tweaking the levels in each subsequent video. No, I'm not ditching the music altogether, it's part of who I am! But I promise I'm trying to get the levels worked out. haha :-)

[@ThatLynnGirl]

I just turn the sound off completely when I watch these, and turn the playback speed to 1.5x. It’s so exhilarating and satisfying!!! Beautiful project!!!

[@amynoosun3703]

I loved the video! Don’t sorry about the music, it was fine, geez, some people like to complain! That piece is so beautiful, the transformation is astonishing!

[@janicecooper875]

Very nice job and l usually dont like painted furniture. Thanks.

[@kristilisakleiner9384]

I enjoyed the music 🎶

[@papa-grammy]

Great video...thank you for sharing. You have inspired this retired woman (me) to get up and start my video doing makeovers starting with all the junk in my whole house, especially the garage. I had to stop watching your video to share thank you so much 💝. Now, l will start watching your video again. l know it turned out a beautiful piece of art!🌷

[@ARottenMonster]

I've watched a lot of similar videos (people restoring old things, or doing woodwork) and I almost never leave a comment, but I figured this time I will since your channel is so new. What you do with the furniture is great, but honestly your voiceover is my favorite part. You sound very calm, friendly and genuine and your voice is really pretty, just like the furniture you save. Thank you and good luck with the channel!

[@victorialove9104]

Yes. She does have a very lovely voice. I enjoy listening to her.

[@boa1793]

She’s also HiGHLY skilled.

[@carenclemmons5002]

Beautiful result again Angie. Good resurrection.

[@shirleypedersen7406]

“BEAUTIFUL” Angie. I love how you mix painted portions and wood portions. Hardware is also the right choice. Love it!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@elizabethlevine4263]

To see the beauty in a piece, in such a broken state is truly a gift.

[@lupitamercado2318]

Thinking same thing

[@joeb4142]

I agree

[@mangographics225]

Love the fact that you don't just "flip" an old piece with covering the lovely wood with thick paint! Thanks for respecting the beauty of some of the prettiest woods ... it is so much more beautiful than the plastic simulated wood sold in most new furniture! Thanks, and keep up the beautiful restoration!

[@victorialove9104]

I agree

[@ausguy5052]

I completely felt your pain, when it came to the holes. But like a true professional you just went ahead and got the job done, and what a FANTASTIC job it was, I'm amazed and just love the piece. Well Done.

[@SisterShirley]

I'm amazed she just didn't go out and buy new hardware where the holes matched up. That's probably what I would have done. And that's why she has a KZbin channel and I don't. She's so determined and dedicated.

[@gaurasrspublishing]

@@SisterShirley My same thoughts exactly!

[@richardsmith548]

There’s a lot of people out there doing this but the quality of your work is up there with the best of them and your presentation and edit is top draw, pun intended. I’ll be watching more.

[@piedpiper7051]

Turned out beautifully! I was a career finisher and historic furniture Conservator so I recognize good workmanship. When it comes to bin pulls I always set them a bit higher than center because when viewed from standing height the pulls look too far down on the piece if centered. Liked, subbed and rang that bell!

[@dianabower3960]

I think that this sort of thing should be taught in colleges and universities, restoring these old furniture is amazing. A skill that needs to be taught, love it,

[@shadowfox009x]

That's something a carpenter learns during their apprenticeship.

[@gaurasrspublishing]

@@shadowfox009x It's not such much a carpentry thing but an attitude thing - unless that attitude is there, then it won't happen.

I’m disabled. I can’t work, I need to find a hobby. I’ve been struggling that for a few years. I can’t flip houses. Furniture! You inspired me girl!

[@Catbirdmom2]

Love that you left the “oopsie” with the drawer pulls in. I have had that happen more than once. So nice to know I’m not the only one…

[@hlmoore8042]

That's what I liked too. So now maybe we might check that first .... or at least there's hope. lol

[@richardjones8236]

I would really like to hear more about how you started and how you run your business. It seems you have quite a bit of experience.

[@phyllisspringfield7705]

Of all the furniture refurbish channels out there,this the only one that really makes me go OHHHH . High quality, professional,and down right beautiful. Kudos to you.

[@rae-leahdouglas2442]

The do over with the drawer pulls hurt my heart for you! Absolutely stunning in the end, as always!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Haha it’s so funny because I’ve done this a million times without a hitch but for some reason didn’t check these ones first. 🤦‍♀️😂

[@michellecabasal2963]

Mine too! I would have found new pulls.... omg tough break

[@yanaray5334]

That's some dedication, I would have bought new hardware and save those for another project and call it lesson learned.

[@freda2758]

Boy, kiddo, now THAT'S how you polish a turd! Impressive craftsmanship. Your commentary is also perfectly unpolished and relatable. You are KZbin.

[@latriciacagle4873]

I’m enjoying your channel so much. I recently lost almost everything to a house fire and the repairs are going to take about a year. Your channel has inspired me to replace what I can with older, salvageable pieces. I’m excited to learn about the different products you use, especially the Wise Owl furniture salve, Odies Oil and the Fusion Beeswax/Hemp oil. I’m looking forward to using the upcoming year to create some new treasures to replace those that I lost.

[@buffalosabresloyalist8913]

Prayers! I hope your 6 month date was on target, and you are back in your home for the holidays.

[@latriciacagle4873]

@@buffalosabresloyalist8913 Thank you for your hopeful thoughts. The fire was exactly one year ago today and I’m still not able to move home. COVID is a large part of the delay. It’s looking to be more like a year and 6 months. But when all is said and done I will have a new home with a more functional floor plan and all of the design elements chosen by me.

[@jessie0076]

Gorgeous! And saved from being landfill. Love it!

[@TheLovelyMissBeans]

Yes, this! It is heartbreaking how many of these pieces end up in a landfill just because they are "ugly" when all they neede to not be ugly was a little imagination and elbow grease!

[@nonyabiznes1176]

@@TheLovelyMissBeans This one really was ugly what with the shell decoration and shiny wood finish. Anything that survived what it went through deserves another chance. The simplified version looks better than most made today and is better built.

[@pattiereiter9265]

THAT WAS AMAZING! I need to learn more about those products you use and where to find them! I can almost SMELL that wax you used on the inside of the drawers!!!! FABULOUS WORK!

Just started watching your channel and subscribed, the difference between you and the other channels is your work is ultra high quality... You're really very good at this and it isn't just for KZbin views. You'll get more subscribers exponentially.

Wow, thank you so much! It’s definitely a labour of love. I’ve been at this (furniture) for a while now and finally reached a point where I felt comfortable enough to put myself out there a bit more. I really appreciate your kind words!

I just found you on KZbin this morning. I love your aesthetic. Please keep creating this type of content.

[@Steven-de8zc]

From junk to jewel! When you started painting I wasn't sure about the color but that final reveal was on point! I was so glad you left the wood grain on the top it was too nice to be covered up. You definitely have an eye for what you do.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@ruthiezophia2946]

Sometimes taking off the skirting on those types of furniture and putting legs on is very modern looking. Great job. Looks wonderful.

The great thing about you is that not only do yoy have the talent to do a great job and be thorough, but you also have great taste. I love the finish on your pieces.

[@chelin7023]

What a transformation! Beautiful, timeless and a touch of class written all over! One suggestion would be to incorporate some sort of light in the open shelves, just to give it a glow to enhance the green color in the back and add dimension to the items displayed. Love your work! ☺️

Nice job! what a handsome piece from something so old and tired.

[@AlfrescoStudio]

Hey Angie, love this one. For backboards (I build flat pack furniture as a sideline) a good staple tacker is your best friend. Saves a ton of time and is way more secure. As for new hardware, measure and drill before painting, and a block of scrap wood pressed onto the back of the panel you're drilling into prevents tear out. I'm also a hobbyist flipper, just trying to get organised and start my own channel but you're still my go to for quality work and viewing.
