UNBELIEVABLE Dresser Makeover- Extreme Furniture Flip

YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS TRANSFORMATION!
I picked this sad little mid 1960s Viscol dresser up on the side of the road in the rain- I was lucky to grab it before it got entirely drenched! A bunch of repairs, paint, stain, and two days later, it's been completely revamped and is STUNNING!
A side note: there's a point in this video where I mention "I'm fairly new at this".. I'm actually referring to making KZbin videos, not furniture! I've actually been doing furniture full time for a year and a half, and almost full time for about three years prior to that! Just wanted to clear that up! :-)

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!

[@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.

[@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 😊

[@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 !

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@lindafirth1562]

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

[@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.

[@kblack8770]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@misscelanious4788]

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

[@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 :)

[@davidkelsey2864]

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

[@judyshallstrom415]

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

[@patriciacrozier7624]

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

[@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 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😎👌

[@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]

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! 😀

[@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!

[@theresacarmen9847]

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

[@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!

[@nancylourose]

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

[@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. ❤

[@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 🤩

[@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!

[@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!

[@debradejong4937]

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

[@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.

[@PointerNation]

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

[@donnaking102]

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

[@kathleenwalton3311]

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

[@aot9644]

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

[@LauriPEaton]

same!😊

[@michellecabasal2963]

Welcome 🤗

[@Califdml45]

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

[@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.

[@zoinomiko]

The dresser turned into such a dapper mustached gentleman!!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you very much! 😀

[@teresacathey8189]

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

[@DiamondLil]

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

[@mezanian]

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

[@Vb-fy4sv]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@gelan111]

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

[@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 😊

[@lisatrustjesus44]

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

[@heidiwhite6068]

Stunning, amazing job 👏👏

[@patticriss2238]

That’s not fair. You’re the best!!! Ha. Beautiful beautiful job. Your design skills are immaculate! Amazing.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Wow! Thank you! 😊

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@cherylberry1613]

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

[@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

[@Frazzlenodazzle]

So far I think this is the most dramatic transformation. From ugliest to so beautiful. You are a master!

[@pameladee9019]

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

[@allthatislovelybynicole8406]

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

[@FourJaysFour]

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

[@stephanieeads7541]

I absolutely love your transformations. And you can say "out" and "about" all the time! I love your accent!

[@maryannarmstrong6109]

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

[@cynthiagorrin5399]

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

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Many thanks! 😊

[@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!

[@pamallen2498]

Everything you make over is exquisite in the end.

[@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

[@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.

[@oechsnea]

I’m late to the party but what a STUNNING transformation! Great job. The handles make it look like a happy little man with a mustache.

[@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 :)

[@elenalatici9568]

That paint color is incredible. The transformation is mind blowing.

[@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 !

[@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!

[@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

[@user-yp6we8kz9z]

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

[@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

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

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

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so 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❣️

[@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!

[@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! 😊

[@perlaargyle9343]

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

[@duanehaaland2287]

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

[@nicholasgeorgiades9073]

Your colour schemes and fittings copliment the piece so beautifully, you are a talented lady. Absolutely stunning.

[@flygirlfly]

OH, WOW! now you've got me binge-watching all your vids!

[@maryaliceleaphart970]

Your repair work is great. The finish is gorgeous! The dresser looks like it's smiling. It's happy it's been given a new life.

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.

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!

[@MarkH10]

Process narration is exceptional. Thumbs up.

[@AeiSedai1976]

Nice! Love knowing you are watching Canadian content when you see red robbie screws!

[@jekku4688]

So glad you kept those original handles, wow this piece is stunning, WELL DONE!!!

[@audiomxr]

You have such a great eye for each piece’s potential. The hardware on this needed to sing, and you accomplished that by providing a great backdrop for it and by painting it for maximum contrast. kudos!

[@carmenpadilla3818]

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

[@1953lili]

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

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@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!!!
