STRIPPING PINK PAINT from a gorgeous old chest of drawers

[@jcortese3300]

For some reason, I get the warm fuzzies when I see you take a piece of furniture that was doubtless in a little girl's room -- and she LOVED it because it was purple or pink or something -- and turn it into something that the grown woman she became would also love. 🙂

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

I love that!

[@lauramechikoff360]

Well said!

[@vaneesiva942]

[@andreaandrea6716]

I like that you give sound advice and that you always observe safety rules. And you like cats, that's a plus ! Good work.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

[@amieinnovascotia3237]

I wondered who was brave enough to tackle that piece and was somewhat surprised to find it gone. You did an amazing job. In my wildest dreams I never imagined such beauty was hiding under that. Wow, Angie, you did a magnificent job.

[@leslieblackshear802]

Ditto!

[@karenkouns577]

I couldn't agree more. Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

[@amieinnovascotia3237]

@@karenkouns577 : I looked at it because the size was perfect for the space I have but I knew it was way beyond my capabilities. I just refinish pieces to replace the our furniture that 37 rescue cats destroyed over the last 22 years. Angie does such a fantastic job and has such vision. I never tire of watching the videos from Transend Furniture Gallery.

those handles are kinda everything. painting them black makes them stand out in their uniqueness and upped the whole piece. truly beautiful work

Thank you very much!

[@terrimitchell-whatdoyouthink]

So hard to believe it's the same piece. I can understand the appeal of the pink mottled colour for someone who tried to love it. You've elevated it to new level.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@Val_Emrys]

I am not a fan of pink (anything) furniture but frankly I have to admire the artistry that was achieved on the painted piece. That said I much prefer your vision that restored it to a natural look. You created a lovely piece.

[@mdelaney9008]

Agree.

[@Sludgedragon]

I was going to say the same thing. I never cared for that spongey stipple, and especially not in pink! But they did a very good job of it at the time.

[@zorroZORROzorroZORRO]

I agree! I prefer the natural wood but i never saw such a precise and artistic work with sponge painting

[@clairep.ronalds897]

I concur!! I thought it was a vinyl sheet product at first, for a pink sponge texture it was VERY evenly done!!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Someone definitely put a lot of time and effort into the pink camo look at one time, absolutely. Now it has a new life. 😊 Thanks so much for watching!

[@rzerobzero]

I think the before and after on this one is the most shocking in a long time! What a transformation!

What a stunningly handsome piece. Honestly, I would have walked right past this guy and not looked back. I’m glad you rescued it from the disaster it was. Your care for the integrity of your flips is so good, girl! Keep it up!

[@melody5437]

I don't think it was a disaster - it kept on serving a purpose and probably wouldn't have had it not been painted. Sponge painting was all the rage and it probably served the pink-lover well. Now it's off to a new life. :-)

[@juleswins3]

Now there’s a radical change for the better! The black handles really set off the wood grain. Beautiful!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you very much!

I wasn't at all un-sure about painting the handles. I've seen enough of Angie's work to trust her judgment implicitly. She has an almost uncanny ability to feel/sense a piece and know exactly what it needs, and the knowledge/ability/experience to make it happen. This proves my point - you don't ever need to worry about anything she does because she always manages to do whatever the piece really needs. Amazing!
