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.

[@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 😊

[@evelynliebgold1084]

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

[@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!

[@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 !

[@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.

[@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.

[@nancylourose]

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

[@lindafirth1562]

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

[@allthatislovelybynicole8406]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@pamallen2498]

Everything you make over is exquisite in the end.

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@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! 😀

[@judyshallstrom415]

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

[@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.

[@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. 😍👍

[@thomasbrennan5837]

That is simply fabulous ☘️

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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!

[@davidkelsey2864]

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

[@donnaking102]

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

[@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!

[@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 🤩

[@sarahjustesen1305]

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

[@teresacathey8189]

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

[@bowerbirdstyle7661]

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

[@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. ❤

[@debradejong4937]

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

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Many thanks! 😊

[@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.

[@cynthiagorrin5399]

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

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Many thanks! 😊

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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 😊

[@beebejasmin4129]

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

[@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!!!) 🙌🙌

[@theresacarmen9847]

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

[@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!

[@DiamondLil]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@mezanian]

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

[@kathleenwalton3311]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@PointerNation]

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

[@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❤️

[@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!

[@maryannarmstrong6109]

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

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

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

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@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!

[@gelan111]

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

[@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!

[@kimkane5361]

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

[@FourJaysFour]

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

[@harvardlawyerlee]

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

[@heidiwhite6068]

Stunning, amazing job 👏👏

[@maxadrian]

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

[@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 !

[@patriciacrozier7624]

Talk about a Cinderella piece. Well done my friend it’s unrecognizable! ❤

[@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

[@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! 😊

[@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.

[@Califdml45]

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

[@aot9644]

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

[@LauriPEaton]

same!😊

[@michellecabasal2963]

Welcome 🤗

[@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! 😊

[@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

[@Vb-fy4sv]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@pameladee9019]

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

[@marthaonarvaez-a948]

One of the most informative, non-boring videos. Great job.

[@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 :)

[@1953lili]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@andreasmith5178]

Very impressive transformation!!

[@onlybugwit]

Unbelievably better, good choice of colour,, it is now beautiful.

[@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!

[@theshabbyvintagebelle1875]

Amazing transformation

[@cherylberry1613]

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

[@lisatrustjesus44]

Really neat. The legs you added were "period" perfect for the piece

[@carmenpadilla3818]

So beautiful, you have talent that the majority of people would love to have.

[@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!

[@anneoneill280]

WOW! A world of difference! Just gorgeous!

[@zoinomiko]

The dresser turned into such a dapper mustached gentleman!!

[@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❣️
