UNBELIEVABLE Dresser Makeover- Extreme Furniture Flip

[@maxxs118]

I AM a wood worker by trade, and I have to give you a huge round of applause. You did a great job improvising to make the repairs that needed to be made, instead of trying to hide them. I see alot of people do things horribly wrong, and teach people that way. However, I caught myself saying "good job" out loud several times during your repairs. So pat yourself on the back. Backyard stuff sometimes is the only way lol. 👏👏👏

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Ahh! That made my day! Thank you so much for taking the time for that- made me smile :-)

[@conniesisco6468]

Agreed! I don’t care if people do things wrong, but I DO care when they make videos as “teachers” and then proceed to do everything wrong. It drives me insane! This was just outstanding!

[@boa1793]

Maxes, I agree. That she does such a skilled and fantastic job for such (what I would call) trash, is amazing.

[@evelynliebgold1084]

Angie, there are furniture restorers, then there's you! You're the gold standard!

[@Alienalloy]

53 year old London carpenter here, found this video an absolute pleasure to watch, I could probably make it, but I know I don’t have the eye for the artistic details, a beautiful piece well done !

[@pennyfenner1354]

I've been binge watching your videos, and I just want to give you some feedback. I love how you do voiceover instead of talking real-time. It means you can speed up what are really slow and sometimes tedious processes, but still show exactly how you do them. I love that you explain your repairs, wether its a highly skilled one or a botch up one. That really helps with the learning process! I feel your videos are just the right length, you show everything that needs to be shown, without any boring filler content. You have a really good eye for how to bring out the most beautiful potential of a piece, and I love your taste. I am left feeling inspired, awed, and that I may have learned some valuable tips along the way. Thanks very much for sharing!

[@brookiecookie5077]

I've been having such a rough time in my life lately and your videos feel like a safe, comforting place to hang out for a while. I love that you say "we", and that you have a favorite wood (walnut), and just your personality in general! You clearly love what you do and thoroughly enjoy the process (most of the time). Thank you for being such a comforting channel! 🥰

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Glad I could help you decompress a bit. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you feel better. ❤️

[@bobthemole]

Seconded. This is my favorite channel for soothing educational downtime, plus it got me into furniture repair 😊

[@debradejong4937]

Every video I think, "oooo that's my favorite!" And then the next video comes. I am not fickle, just in awe of your talent. You are the furniture whisperer😊

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

I appreciate that very much! 😀

[@1nkksmom]

You know what I like about this video besides the beautiful outcome of the pieces you work on? It's your calm and cute narration. You seem like your having fun.

[@nancylourose]

I generally prefer a different style of furniture, but would gladly display this!

[@maryharris2485]

I have been an interior design for about 30 years and I have watched hundreds of these dresser flips I have to say this is the most beautiful flip I've seen this dresser is absolutely gorgeous and if I could find one I would flip it to look exactly as yours does 10 thumbs up

[@hannahcaldwell5832]

Same here. One of the most professional and stylish furniture flips.

[@buddhababeoz]

You've become my new Favourite Flipper. For a beginner your take in design and color is amazing. You have an eye for subtleties. A real gift!!!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Wow, thank you!

[@caraflitner9307]

I love how you don't just give a piece a cosmetic fix but really dive in and fix all of it's issues. So impressive.

[@theresacarmen9847]

What an improvement. You've given that ugly dresser a whole new life. Amazing!

[@KThom429]

Oh, He's so handsome! (see the eyes and mustache? lol) The color scheme makes him look like such a distinguished old gent now! How much time did this take to transform? Love, love love!!!

[@moniemonie48]

That's what I thought, too, at the end of the video! The transformation was amazing!

[@seagal-1]

The mustache jumped out at the end for me too!

[@jenricker3254]

😂😂😂

[@DarlingDaisy97]

Right? When the final result pop up i was like Oh, hello there, sir! 🥸

[@victorialove9104]

Yes. A handsome and distinguished gentleman. ❤

[@davidkelsey2864]

Oh My....look out guys this gals got some talent....taking this from the Kerbside to designer!!! Love the finished product.

[@corinaballestrin6158]

The pain is real when you don’t have the tools you want and need, I feel your pain and congrats on being resourceful. Your vision for this piece was perfect. It looks amazing.

[@OdessaPrice2023]

Oh those handles...!! Thank you! When I purchase/obtain a piece, I will send the owner an update of their previous piece. One said that if they had not gotten rid of the piece due to it's sheer size, that they would have bought back the piece that they gave me for free. It was one of the best compliments I could have gotten, and I let them know I had actually donated it to a family in need.

[@pumibel1720]

"I'm not a wood worker." One begs to differ as you seem to be doing the damn thing!

[@barbgalligan4885]

Love this. You did a great job.

[@chelin7023]

Angie was probably kidding ... right? 😉

[@mariaphilomena1422]

Agree!

[@deanagallatin6974]

Yep you are a wood worker. I want some skills!

[@V1N_574]

If you have more than 2 clamps, wood glue and sand paper you are a wood worker hahaha.

[@misscelanious4788]

You shouldn’t apologize for being resourceful! You are a very talented person. Thanks for sharing

[@kblack8770]

Who knew this piece could go from the really sad before to such a fab after.

[@DiamondLil]

You say "we" because you appreciate the help you get from Nacho and co.

[@mangographics225]

I love the way you transform pieces that some would just "flip" with paint, where you have a wonderful way to notice the beauty in the wood itself so that we can see, appreciate and fall in love with real wood beauties! Thanks for your lovely transformations of precious wood.

[@allthatislovelybynicole8406]

your patience fixing it certainly paid off - it turned out stunning!

[@trishwilson7517]

Holy crocodile! (as my Mum would say) You sure brought this one back from the grave. Not only are your skills amazing, but your videos are great also :)

[@lindafirth1562]

That was incredible!! And saving our planet, one drawer at a time. I'm so impressed.

[@paulastrawser3363]

You are a miracle worker! I could watch you repair and paint furniture all day long. Somehow I find it relaxing to see the process and I love the final product. This piece turned out better than it would have been brand new. I'm sure the people that tossed it out would be envious

[@victoralcazar1916]

Deadly envious. 👍

[@danielledraper1107]

I agree….I have wasted hours absorbed by her videos….(I don’t think it’s wasted time…my husband disagrees!!!) 🙌🙌

[@beebejasmin4129]

No need to apologize for your wonderful modern day “MacGyver” techniques 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😎👌

[@Paladonius]

Greetings from Hobart, Tasmania. This turned out great. Just 2 quick tips. If you have a screw without a head, set your drill in reverse and clamp down the jaws of the chuck onto the screw and slowly turn it out - should come out no problem. The second tip for clamping long pieces (when you don't have long clamps) is to use ratchet straps (in your case cheap ones about 25mm wide) with scrap spacer blocks to protect edges. Looking forward to watching your other projects.

[@ARTSIEBECCA]

Wow thats a good tip. Thank you.

[@pamallen2498]

Everything you make over is exquisite in the end.

[@markwatson930]

That is the best piece of restored furniture I have seen in a long while 😀. What a great video 😁

[@kathleenfox941]

I agree. Beautiful job

[@oechsnea]

You should see where else Angie can do!

[@lauradiaz-autin3178]

I have been back to watch this video over 8X just to learn your tid bits of useful knowledge in regards to how wood behaves during the different stages of preparation for different applications and can't thank you enough for clearly guiding us through the process you seem to have such good handle on. I mostly paint but really want to do more staining to mix it up and have a wider client appeal. You're my absolute Fave. Much love as always from New Orleans

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

You are awesome! You’ve been with me pretty much from the beginning- I so appreciate you!

[@judyshallstrom415]

Really nice. I love the handle on the bottom drawer. Painting the drawer really makes the handle show it's beauty

[@rubymimosa]

Good golly that looks amazing! I’m in CA, USA so when you previously discussed weather affecting drying time…couldn’t relate. Glad there was no effect this time. It’s perfect!!

[@beckyquirk3617]

I really enjoyed this one. The dresser doesn't look like "real" wood with the original finish. Soooooo love the contrast and original pulls - especially the large actual wood one on the bottom drawer. 😍👍

[@debradejong4937]

Lovely! What a change! A dated plastic-looking piece turns into timeless beauty!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Many thanks! 😊

[@lisettekong8872]

I love your videos and your work. You have a really nice way of explaining what you do and why, without too much talking. Keep making these, they're fabulous!

[@7adethelrou75]

I 100% agree .

[@elainepencek3155]

Ditto!!!

[@deanagallatin6974]

Yes your videos are great. Don't change a thing!

[@bowerbirdstyle7661]

The black handles against the golden wood. Chef's kiss. Perfect.

[@allisonlopez2012]

I love your “backyard shenanigans” quip haha. This is beautiful! I love how you can see the paint peek through between the stained drawers, nice touch 🤩

[@juanitabolster2483]

All your pieces are stunning transformations, but this is, I think, my favourite so far, a very special one. You are a true artist, and a wonderful rescuer. Thankyou for sharing with us.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

You're so welcome! I'm so glad you like it!

[@patticurry565]

I love seeing mid-century furniture brought back to life and you really pulled this one back from the brink of death. Great job; she's a beauty!

[@debraowen6723]

Angie, a STELLAR finish! And yes, probably many painters would agree with you to just get the product ON, then lay it off lightly smoothly in one direction of the grain, catching your edges for rollover after. It's beautiful! I LOVE EVERYTHING! I LOVE THE LEGS! HARDWARE! COLOR! PAINT! STAIN! Great job as usual!!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you Debra!!

[@donnaking102]

No one would know how bad this piece started out & in need of love. It's amazing 😍🇨🇱

[@katewalbruch776]

I love your attention to detail. The extra steps of gluing and small repairs make a huge difference. It means this piece will be solid and sturdy for many many years to come.

[@teresacathey8189]

Who would have ever known what this piece look like before. Wow, what a transformation. Your good!

[@harvardlawyerlee]

Absolutely gorgeous. Would like to see more before and especially after views at the end.

[@aot9644]

I really enjoyed the voice over. I appreciate your sense of humor. It's endearing. New subbie here.

[@LauriPEaton]

same!😊

[@michellecabasal2963]

Welcome 🤗

[@PointerNation]

Wowzer! You have a gift for transforming one person's junk into another another person's treasure. Very nice piece...

[@neilbrown3902]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!! I also appreciate you showing the repairs in greater detail. That’s my favorite part of restoring furniture. I am really looking forward to your future restorations.

[@debgeisler4568]

I have been slowly - and unsystematically - working my way through your videos, because watching you make sad, tired, often broken furniture into things of beauty brings me peace and joy. This is another yowza piece, and I loved your reveal. I watched the whole process, but the reveal still surprised me! This tells me that you are not just good with furniture. You are *also* a damned fine videographer and story teller. Great work, and thank you again!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Wow Deb, thank you so much!! I really appreciate that.

[@mezanian]

Clever transformation, most people couldn't see past the ugly and damaged to the good bones. You won me! Greetings from Australia.

[@kimkane5361]

Another beautiful transformation. Thanks for showing us again that we can transform the pieces we find interesting into beautiful gems.

[@shabbac113]

Beautiful transformation. Keep videos just as they are. Plenty of information and you get straight into showing us the 'how to' which is great. Thank you 😊

[@sarahjustesen1305]

my goodness.... you were right ... so wotrh the time to watch. beautiful

[@lynnes8047]

Okay when you start doing merchandise.... “Backyard Shenanigans” for sure!! I do lots of MCM dressers and can rarely resist sanding down the drawers from the original factory finish. Even though they are usually wood veneer, they come out beautifully. Loving your channel! Happy to be one of the first 1,000 subscribers. You will have many more in no time.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Hahah I love it! Backyard Shenanigans for sure lol

[@thomasbrennan5837]

That is simply fabulous ☘️

[@valkyriewings4615]

Very nice transformation. I've been watching a lot of different furniture flippers, most of them barely know how to use a screwdriver and here you are using a circular saw, reglueing dovetails, and replacing parts of the furniture. You are leagues beyond your contemporaries. Keep it up! Love the content!

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

I LOVE THIS WOOD GRAIN! The handles on the bottom drawer and the new legs are perfect.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@anncastaneda934]

Your work is so gorgeous! My favorite KZbin furniture artist yet and I follow a lot of them! Keep up your awesome videos. You will keep growing so fast for sure❤️

[@rudybriskar5267]

Your channel is one of the main channels that I watch. I'm disabled and I watch a LOT of KZbin videos. Since I recently found your channel your videos are new to me and I really enjoy them. I don't have a real "workspace" but I've learned a few tricks from watching. I have two, possibly three projects and, living on a remote island in Southeast Alaska I have to get supplies on Amazon and eBay. After I refinish what I currently have I plan to pick up further projects from the local buy/sell/trade page. I'm glad your channel is successful!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much Ruby! I'm thrilled you're enjoying my channel! 😊 Welcome!!

[@lauradiaz-autin3178]

Just amazed at your crafty way to make an issue a challenge and comes through with an outcome that blows the mind. I am seriously impressed by your talent and strength.

[@carolverbeerst2348]

WOŴ I just found your channel and I am VERY impressed. Your attention to detail and patience are wonderful. I love that piece.

[@maryannarmstrong6109]

Wow! What a transformation. I wouldn’t have normally even have considered the possibilities for this piece. Congratulations!

[@sculptor210]

I’m always astounded seeing the before and after. The worst wood is better than the best plastic any day! Loving that matte black on the hardware!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much for watching! 😊

[@FourJaysFour]

Gorgeous transformation. You have incredible vision. I love how you talk us through the project!

[@rositsazlatanova1146]

Thank you. I love how you often let the wood grain show instead of painting it. It's so pretty.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you! I try not to paint wood unless I have to for physical reasons or if it would be better aesthetically... but otherwise try to leave as much wood as possible. :-) Cheers!

[@carolnacarato4448]

Such a cool cool piece! One of the things I've always loved about midcentury furniture is the great design in the hardware. I've done quite a few dressers from.that period and I rarely see a design repeated, and this has some of the most unique I've ever seen. Great work! I just discovered your channel and now my top 3 are Katie Scott, the DIY wife and now your channel. I'm sure I'll be up the rest of the night binge watching!

[@smontone]

I can’t believe you were able to take what you started with and turn it into that. Incredible

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@siskse]

Wow, that’s stunning. And I notice many individual KZbin’s often say “we”, “our”...

[@Bonnie-mc9zo]

Wow wow You really have talent it is beautiful

[@duanehaaland2287]

I WAS DUBIOUS WHEN YOU STARTED, BUT YOUR RESULTS SPEAK FOR ITSELF MUCH BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. THANKS AND KEEP IT UP

[@heidiwhite6068]

Stunning, amazing job 👏👏

[@maxadrian]

Really very inspiring. I'll never look at an abandoned roadside soul the same way again. Great job!

[@loiswood3363]

I wouldn't have thought in a million years that piece would turn out so amazingly beautiful! Love the hardware and the drawer pulls, especially the bottom drawer - wow! Your attention to detail in repairs and finishes is awesome, great work!

[@vertheinguitarworks3844]

I just wanna say (and I am so sorry for all of the comments from me tonight) that I have been watching your videos for a couple of weeks now and I’m binging your channel tonight. Your videos are an absolute joy to watch. This stuff is in my wheelhouse and you just seem like such a genuinely wonderful person.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Comment away! 😊Thanks so much for watching and I'm so glad you're enjoying my content!

[@lisathomas1622]

I really really like how this turned out. I just moved into a log cabin and my partner and I are renovating…I personally have done a lot of renovation during my lifetime, and yet I still see new ways of handling issues in diy videos and I love how you really go over your pieces and aren’t afraid to fix them up and replace pieces with bits from other furniture. Great job upcycling !

[@cynthiagorrin5399]

Necessity is the mother of invention... and you've done spectacularly. It's a testament to your talent .

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Many thanks! 😊

[@lorrainebassant2814]

I found you today on KZbin as I love old things getting new lives again, the dresser looks absolutely beautiful and you are showing me/us that you do not need fancy tools to create something beautiful, well done and 😊 thank you, sunny greetings from NZ

[@pameladee9019]

I'll be looking at those plastic looking pieces in a whole new way from now on.

[@laurietuzzato5501]

I usually don’t like painted wood, but your wonderful talent and eye continue to amaze me. The birch wood “is what this Mid-Century” gal called the color ‘Blonde wood’. Thank you for revitalizing the pieces.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

You're very welcome!

[@meghancasini8567]

wow! you do great work, i've watched all of your videos! you should reach out to "furniture flipping teacher" and do a collaboration to get your name out there! good luck and keep on going! xxoo meg

[@lifeofjoy9404]

You are the "Furniture Whisperer"! You bring out the best of everything you touch! I love this piece!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Glad you like it! Thanks so much for watching!

[@KeganVanSickle]

This one turned out amazing. The ONLY thing I think might look really cool is if you did the natural wood for the rounded blocks on the bottom drawer. Either way, great job!

[@GOLDSTEIN106]

That wood look awesome but I agree its amazing work!!

[@mariaduszak9064]

You are do right,great eye :)

[@jodders619]

Getting a bit of an Art Deco vibe from that piece. Nice work! There are few things I find more relaxing than watching people in their workshops. Childhood memories of my Dad in his workshop. My little sister really wanted a rocking horse when she was little so my Dad went into his workshop with some old scaffolding planks and made her one. She rocked about on it with such glee she broke the horses neck!

[@jeanlewis1945]

I’m not a fan of the mid-century modern furniture having grown up in the 50-60’s. The job you did was stunning. I frequent refinish furniture for my self or my family and have remodeled every house I have ever lived in so your use of power tools looked normal to me. Good job.

[@susie-k-q]

I am not an MCM fan either - but I love this piece.

[@dascandy]

I love how you took the ornamentation on the bottom drawer and made it look so good. It was invisible at first, and the contrast you added to it at the end makes it *so much* better.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@flinryder7119]

That’s insane how different it looks you’re so talented x also the front looks like a little face lol xx

[@kathleenwalton3311]

I like the way you improvise. A woman after my own heart. Great job!

[@jeannehelmick5682]

This is probably the third time I’ve watched this video and as always , so impressed. Thank you Angie!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

You are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching!

[@freddieannt3354]

You are absolutely delightful. This is the thing, I don’t even refinish furniture. I love to watch you and I learn something new at every video. You are very entertaining!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Wow, thank you!

[@1953lili]

I love that you only paint when absolutely necessary! What an improvement! Love the “jewelry!”

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@gelan111]

Thanks for saying "we"! I can no longer do this kind of work and it is so satisfying to watch.

[@Vb-fy4sv]

Wow your like a miracle worker , how you bring the life back into your projects is just INCREDIBLY CLEVER and TALENTED!!!

[@susanpassfield4135]

First time viewer here. You are a true visionary. I love all styles of furniture, but mid century hardware makes a piece. So glad you kept it.

[@Califdml45]

Oh my gosh! What a stunner! You definitely took an ugly duckling and made it a beautiful swan. Well done!

[@sylviajones4907]

I like the "we" because it makes me think you have confidence i am listening and when i get ready to work i can do it. You are a good teacher!

[@kathleenm3443]

You are very brave! The wood working you accomplished is impressive. The end result was fantastic. You really did save this piece and make a treasure from trash!

[@johnboyd6943]

Angie, you've done it again - rocked my world. I just adore your craftsmanship. You go girl. 👍👌👌👏👏👏

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you very much! 🙂

[@DSashie]

Labour of love… I would have given up when the drawer wouldn’t come out… and never discovered the issue. 😜 This piece certainly transcend❣️

[@piskcoki200344]

Can you imagine!!! Stunning. Really takes a rich imagination to have had hope for that original piece. You nailed it!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you very much!

[@cherylberry1613]

Gorgeous piece! Never would of envisioned such a beautifully unique piece was possible with that original ratty tatty dresser.

[@perlaargyle9343]

Wow !! What did i just watch ?! Some kind of furniture sorcery ?! You are a magician 😍😍😍😍

[@patticriss2238]

I know this is old, but I’ve watched it a few times. The colors and such are incidental. Your eye ‘captured’ this piece and made it special. Beautiful. I love wood. I do a little, but I’m a primitive, rustic lover trying to go modern. I’m 60 so I have 2 46 ft long, 9 ft tall containers full of all all my styles over the years. Just started emptying them, refurbishing what needs to be refurbished. Right now I’m analyzing the market here in Oklahoma. Rustic is still in but it’s a more elegant and “sealed” rustic. That will be my focus for a bit, hence I plan to expand my skills. Long way to go to get to where you have worked to get. Amazing.

[@patticriss2238]

Grandaughter needs a new fast horse so I’ll be busy!!! Haha

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

I'm glad I could help Patti! Best of luck to you!
