I've had SO many people recently ask me why my business has the word "Gallery" in it, when I'm completely online. AND how I found my own refinishing style. And the truth is- I wasn't always an online only business! I used to have a brick and mortar shop. I also started my business in a dark and dingy basement, and throughout the last few years worked my tail off to try to learn how to do things better, and my personal style slowly evolved over time.
I want this video to be inspiring for people just starting out, who might feel strange working in a basement, or apartment, or a shed. There is NO SHAME in any of that! I only have the workroom I have today through a series of events beyond my control, and a TON of hard work. Keep going! You'll find your own style and presences over time. For example- most of what I did in the early stages was painted, and a lot of it farmhouse/distressed. Now, I do MOSTLY mid century, and a lot of it is restoration or paint/wood combinations. BE GENTLE, hahaha, some of these are a bit.. hmm... maybe not my best work, but I was learning. We all are learning. KEEP LEARNING! ❤️

I was concerned for you and yours with the storm that came your way this weekend. Hope you were unaffected.
We got rocked pretty good. But compared to Puerto Rico, and other parts of Nova Scotia, PEI, and the worst for Canada was poor Newfoundland… we made out ok overall.
Thanks for letting us know. I Was worried also!
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery Tampa, Fl here. We are prepared. Plenty of wine and other beverages ( a bottle of water here and there)! Propane for grill to cook all that meat that thaws! But this ain’t our 1st rodeo! Ps..ordered me some Odies Oil! Love it and your videos! You rock, keep ‘em coming!
I love this video!!! Thank you for putting your story to pictures. You have told us but this is so beautiful to watch and so rewarding to see your growth! You have amazing skill and talent! ❤️❤️
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery I loved all!!!
As a retired furniture desginer i must say that you grown so much in all these years ! The use off colour and your skils to "repair "old furniture to a nice piece that will last for decades is amazing ! Love to watch your channel and wish you many many years off more furniture flips !
I knew you were the best furniture saver on RUclips, but didn’t know how talented you are. You have evolved in a relatively short period of time. Your esthetic is really beautiful. I used to watch all of the “flippers” but now only a handful. You are my favorite. Envy your epoxy floor every time I see it.
You’re an artist Angie. Every artist goes into shock when they look at their first pieces of work. Great story.
I remember randomly surfing RUclips in April, 2021 and coming across your first video. I was hooked. I'm impressed with your natural teaching abilities, (yep, I'm that teacher lady that loves your teaching style) and your amazing artistic eye. Thank you for making my stressful days more relaxing every time I watch your channel!
So glad you and your loved ones are okay after Fiona. Praying things turn around quickly for Canada!
The video presentation of your successful journey is top notch! Quality is off the charts! I also learned so much about you and your entrepreneurial spirit. You are very creative and fearless! I’m impressed and very inspired. Thank you all you do and sharing with us!
You do such beautiful work! I loved seeing your origins and the evolution of your style! I appreciate that you never seem to fall into a “formula”, but treat each piece as unique. The bunnies certainly don’t hurt, either!!🐇❤️
What a fun video! It was really nice to learn of the history of your career and to see the evolution of your style. I think you sell yourself short with regards to staging; it is clear that you have a good eye for composition and even your earlier photos look really good to me. My favorites have to be the bunny photos; I would love it if you used more "bunny models" in future staging photos! I love your work and am always happy to see a video from you.
You have come a long way in such a short time Angie. The back history was very interesting. I hope you, Andrea and your animals made it through the storm. Stay safe.
Thank you for that montage. It's a shame you had to shut down your store, but you have evolved beautifully!
Wow, I know you must have loved your shop/gallery. It was so unique and lovely! Funny how life throws us curves that we don’t see coming, but you obviously are an overcomer. I try to never miss a video as you have taught me so much about furniture restoration! Keep up the great work! 😀
What an awesome story! So proud of you, Angie, for always making space for your craft. From one fellow creative to another, I am thrilled and impressed with all you do, and thank you so much for sharing the journey with us. Big hug.
What a beautiful video - I loved every minute. It’s so fascinating to see ‘behind the scenes’ of your business and how it evolved.
And… you and Andrea just live such a GOOD life. I can’t express it any better.
Thanks so much for sharing this gorgeous little insight into your life and work. ❤️❤️❤️
I now know why everything you do is so beautiful, it's because you are truly an gifted artist. ... I hope you and all you hold dear are doing well!
Your artistic eye has changed and in my opinion sharpened to a great point. Many beautiful pieces. Thanks for sharing your passion.
Angie, I loved this video!! This is so wonderful to see. The progression of your spaces and your furniture work is simply amazing! You are one of my absolute favorite You tubers!! I aspire to become as good as you are but living with horrible chronic back pain stops me often from starting and finishing a piece. It's very slow going but I have all I need to do this on a regular basis and I will, it just won't happen the way it does for so many people who don't have this condition. I can't wait until I can create the Black paint/wood pieces like you and others create, they are absolutely my number 1 favorite! And it bums me out that used furniture has gone up significantly and that has put a real damper in my desire to do this. I love your channel and your work so much, so thank you for ever starting a You Tube channel! Continued success, Angie
Yes the cost to acquire even derelict project pieces has quadrupled since I started! It’s crazy!
Tu canal me hace sentir muy feliz , he repetido 100 veces cada uno de tus videos , jamas en la vida pensé q esto me apasionaría tanto, gracias por tu tiempo de enseñanza, no te imaginas el impacto q has echo en mi vida, gracias 🙏
Wow this was COOL!!! I so appreciate that you shared this with us. I LOVE LOVE LOVE where your taste and skills have morphed into. I love the sensible way of painting the ugly and oiling the beautiful woods and the combos of that. When you find that ALL the wood is beautiful, you clean sand oil wax and bring the amazing natural beauty of the wood grain and color. Love that! Love what you do!!!
First, I'm SO glad that you and your household made it thru the storm unscathed.
Second, I really liked this video.🤩 Thanks for sharing your creative journey!
Absolutely gorgeous work! You are soooo talented and creative. You're definitely an inspiration to all of us wannabes.
Thank you for bringing your work to youtube. I love everything about your channel and your furniture flips. You’ve quickly become my favorite creator.
My wife and I have been binge watching your channel and we love your content! You have so much talent, not only with the furniture and transformations but also in the editing and music. Your videos are so relaxing and fun to watch.
Having my own little wood shop in my garage and building my own furniture I know how much work goes into finishing a piece. Keep up the great work!
I'm so happy to hear this! I love a good binge watch myself! Thanks so much for watching!
I am so glad you found a love for mid century furniture, your skills really shine with those pieces! especially compared to some of the earlier paint choices! (we all did them don't worry haha)
Your aesthetic in all the fields you have shown us are breathtaking Angie… totally in admiration and appreciation of it. I hope you weathered Fiona and that both you and your partner, as well as your loved ones have made it through safely. I have been watching the progression on the news and am sending all my heartfelt support to all of Nova Scotians from Belgium. Take care and thank you for allowing us to dream with your beautiful heart and creations … plus the bunnies of course 😂😘
An so glad I watched all the way through because I would have missed the bunny pics! Also, I'm old and old fashioned and loved seeing the vintage farmhouse from the beginning of your flipping career.
I enjoyed this and seeing all the pieces you’ve saved.
Glad to hear you weathered the storm okay.
Besides being so darned sweet, I also love how you pay attention to every surface of the piece you are working on. Thanks Angie!
You are so very talented in so many areas! This was a pleasure to watch.
Artistic people never cease to amaze me ❤. I have no artistic sensibilities or imagination let alone the ability to execute someone’s vision.
Thanks for taking time to share your backstory. I wish your business ventures continue to grow and give you personal satisfaction knowing you are making the world a bit more beautiful.
I love your story! Always building on your creativity and art.
Hope you came through the storm OK. Thanks for all the background!
Love hearing about your journey. Some amazing pieces!
Oh my god, I love the bluewash you did on the piece at 17:00 !! Your art evolution is amazing
Your beautiful artistic style is a pleasure to follow! I love the style you landed on, so perfectly executed every time!❤️
Using the buns in your staging of the beautiful pieces warms my heart!
Wow Angie, you are a very talented artist. Exquisitely tasteful pieces!! I am glad you are ok and the storm did not hit so hard by you.
I absolutely Love love love your style, Wow! From the beginning…and the evolution! All your pieces have beauty in them. There is something very Frank Wright about your style
I'm just starting out saving furniture from the landfill and I have made you my role model. I love your journey and I hope I can be successful too. Thank you for all your honest advice and teaching skills.
You are amazing. I think God loves seeing what you do with his gifts.
Ohmygoodness Angie! This journey you took me on was spectacular and at one point emotional! I can’t begin to tell you how much all of this moved me! Your so talented and your attention to details is exceptional. Your pieces are stunning. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful place you have built… the love you have put into everything just poured out on me. The bunnies are so beautiful and I loved seeing them in the stagings.
Wow thank you so much for watching and the support Kate! 🐰😊
I can’t believe I’m telling you this… but here goes. I’m 65. Many hundreds of years ago my girlfriends and I would describe a cute guy by saying, “If you need me, I’ll be in a little pile on the floor.” (it’s difficult to explain, lol) Anyway, some of your furniture makes me feel the same way. It’s so gorgeous, I could almost melt looking at it. You are SUCH a visonary, Angie!
I'm impressed with how your ability and choices have matured! Wow.
You are so creative & productive with all your artistic endeavors. You create new beauty from old things. You are truly an inspiration for me. I am 69 you are much younger than me, however you and many of the other artist on RUclips have inspired me to go back to my creative roots. Thanks for being here.
So amazing to see how far you have come! You are such a hard worker and deserve every bit of success that comes your way❣️can’t wait to see where you go from here!
Great evolution of your progress.
Also love the way you take old and vintage pieces and recreate them with an updated style. Much respect. 👍
I love all your work: then and now. Glad y'all are okay after the storm.
Your talent and creativity absolutely boggles my mind. Your store looked amazing - it must have broken your heart to have closed it. You are far and away my favorite furniture flipper on RUclips- and there are lots of talented people out there. Glad you weathered the storm. Mother Nature can be a real bear sometimes.
Totally understand the Transcend part of you name. Wow what a background of knowledge and experience you’ve gained over time.
I’m so glad you’re okay! And what an amazing catalog you’ve got. I’m learning so much and it’s 100% because of your talent for teaching as you go and editing your videos in a way that really lets us see what you’re doing, how, and why. I got my hands on a beautiful, Art Deco waterfall style buffet table a couple of months ago and I finally feel confident enough to start refinishing her. Loving you and your bunnies!
Thank you so much! Best of luck with your project!
Your accomplishments are staggering in such a short amount of time! Brilliant.
I love your style and the story... Keep evolving Angie, it's all good!!!
Oh, man. I would have loved to visit a shop like yours! You're not weird, you're so creative you can't contain it. How wonderful to do what you love every day.
Thank you so much!
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery To be honest, I would also love to create a shop like yours!
Very cool to see your shift in style from farmhouse to mid century, and gradual appreciation for the wood grains. A ton of work, but so so cool that you get to flex your creative muscles every day and make a living doing it!
Thanks for teaching me so much!!! My dad and I are working on a hand-me-down dining set that needs refinishing together. I've sent him plenty of your videos on what I want as an end result.
Wow what a beautiful journey. I especially love several of your most recent pieces where you mix wood and paint or just wood. Stunning Thanks for sharing.
I hope you weathered the storm ok. This is the kind of store I love to go in.
Your work is beautiful. Your journey is amazing.
How interesting! Thanks for sharing!!
So nice to learn more about your pre-RUclips career!! You've done so many beautiful pieces! I'm happy you've gravitated towards mid-century, that's my favourite furniture era. But always fun to see you work.
Hope you and your family is ok in this Fiona storm!! Lovely furniture you have given a new life🤗over the years!
In showing this, you are teaching that with determination, hard work, learning and talent, we grow.
You just keep getting better and better. 👍
Hope all is ok in your part of Nova Scotia! Your success is truly because you have an incredible artistic eye - even your gallery 'screamed': 'designer' not just 'a shop of nice decorations'.
I have been binging your content for a few days now. I love the variety in your pieces and how you let the furniture decide your direction. I have an old home and 100% thrifted for saved from trash furniture and your channel gives me a lot of inspiration for restorations and/or makeovers. I have learned so much from you already. Thank you for your videos.
First - can I just say THANK YOU for saving them??!! We need more people saving these pieces and keeping them out of landfills. Second - I'm so glad you're learning things and becoming inspired. Third - thank you so very much for watching and welcome to my channel! ❤️
This was a delightful video, Angie. Your shop was lovely. Seeing your furniture journey was really interesting and it’s fascinating to see your evolution. My favorite pieces of yours are the ones where you mix painted surfaces with wood surfaces. They’re always different and beautifuuly elegant. Glad to hear you and yours made it through the storm okay.🌸
Interesting story! I loved seeing your work evolve from shabby chic to modern century modern.
15:07 the console with the grey and yellow stripes, is beautiful and so out of the ordinary. Love it!
Thank you very much!
Wonderful video! Thank you for sharing it. Hope you and yours are doing well after the storm.
i love your shop! it's the kind of place i'd love to visit over and over. i'm sorry you had to close it. but you seem to be able to go with the flow and it looks like things are flowing nicely now! i wish you many more years of success. take care, and i hope you weathered that storm okay!
Thoroughly enjoyed this! I love hearing the back stories of people and businesses. Everything you do is class and I'm sure you will experience continued success and satisfaction :)
Lots of unique and interesting pieces. So great to see the evolution of your work! The bunnies in the drawers were way too adorable.
Thanks so much! 😊
Hope you're still saying safe!! We def weren't expecting a video through all of this but we appreciate it... I loved watching the evolution of where you were to where you are now! Funny how our style changes over time! I used to love dark colours, dark Ebony wood, black and chrome and now I like everything light, airy, light wood and a lot of texture in my textiles. You're still in our thoughts Angie ♥️🙏
Thanks so much for watching!
Hope all is well with you, your family and your house. Fun video! Thanks
Out of all the furniture flippers love your style the most. You are a artist !
Thank you so much!
You have a beautiful eye for color and the placement of it with the wood. Loved seeing your pieces. Glad y’all escaped a lot of storm damage. I’ve been praying for those in Newfoundland.
Loved this video & all the unique furniture. Thank you. Very creative to say the very least.
I'm glad that you, Angie, and your family survived the storm!! Fascinating stuff (crazy, yet scary weather) until you have loved ones, people and pets to worry about. Loved seeing your beginnings up until present. It was an awesome revolution to witness. Awesome to see your growth. Keep up the great work. You inspire many!! Stay safe!
Thanks so much Shirley!
I love hearing your story. Also admire your “can do” attitude that has aided your hard work to get where you are.
This was so fun to watch! I love to see how you moved from a kind of primitive painterly look to a more modern chic style. You are my favorite YT furniture flipper to watch. In part because I learn something from every video you post, and because I think your current style really speaks to me. I love the clean lines of MCM design with a color story of modern day. You hit the balance just perfectly almost every time. I hope you never stop sharing your work…it is total eye candy!
Thank you very much Shari!
All of them are beautiful
Wonderful trip down your memory lane. Thanks very much!
Thanks for sharing your back-story with us! You’ve given this newbie hope that over time my abilities may improve! I’m glad to hear you guys escaped the worst of Fiona. Hubby is from Puerto Rico, fortunately his family there is ok. I think I’m glad we live where tornadoes are our biggest worry.
I enjoyed this personal journey. Thank you for sharing. Seeing your shop footage, I realize that you have that “aesthetic” eye that my (artist) grandmother would talk about. It’s in everything you do, and the way you see things in the world. You just carry beauty around inside you, see it everywhere and then pour it into everything that you touch.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! 😊
I loved getting to know you better! Really a great video and the furniture and the bunniesss!❤
I've been 🙏 for you and everyone in your area affected by the hurricane. I love your visions. Hope the hurricane has not affected your business. Stay safe.
We made it through with no issues thankfully. Thanks so much for watching!
I love those MCM pieces too. It’s lovely to watch someone work them into new pieces with while honouring the older style of the piece.
Thanks so much for watching!
Yes you definitely developed your style and your skill. The result is “Excellence!” And a real pleasure to look at.
Thank you so much 😀
Amazing journey of your business and skills from then to now. You definitely have developed your artistic eye, and I feel you innately know the best direction to take your pieces. Love watching your videos.
Thanks for the walk through of your own memory lane, and the evolution of your skills and style. You already had a lot of that style showing up in many of your tattoo shop/storefront pieces, and in your presentation skills and methods then. Fine work, and a lot of it really hard physical labor. You and mid-century modern make a lot of sense together 😎
Also, happy to see that the hurricane didn't get to you directly, but sorry for those who did get hit more directly. Where I live, we get a lot of indirect effects of the Gulf of Mexico hurricanes - severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. Once, several years ago a Cat 1 hurricane marched up US 331 from Florida, and we live 3 hours away from the coast - not fun.
Again, keep the great work, Angie 👍
Really enjoyed this Angie. So interesting to hear your back story. You are truly inspirational. Overcoming adversity and sometimes things happen that are sad but lead to alot of happiness 😊 I love the beautiful home and work spaces you and Andrea have created and I love Nacho & the bunnies. I used to keep rabbits ( one of our house rabbits was called Binky ) but after losing over 20 during a 10 year period( mainly rescues but some babies i had almost 10yrs ) I couldn't take it again 😢 but i miss them so much. They are fantastic characters , all different personalities. I am so happy that you are helping our furry friends. Thanks for sharing 💚
You're very welcome! Thank you for helping them when your heart would allow you too, I understand completely how disheartening this work can be. ❤️🐰
I don't know a dam thing about refinishing furniture! I just know that your channel makes me smile. You possess stellar talent and I am happy for your success.🙂💖
Lovely retrospective! I'm much more a fan of MCM lines and wood grain, but some of the painted pieces are a fantastic way to rehab wood surfaces that can't otherwise be saved. I hope you're safe and dry and still in your home. I even added Nova Scotia to my list of cities on The Weather Channel that I check every day - includes my family and good friends. You are a kind person to incorporate Bunny Rescue into your work. Many thanks from Oklahoma.
You have a wonderful gift. Everything you do is beautiful. You're beautiful. His works are divine, getting better every day. Congratulations 🎊❤️
I love your video’s so this was an added plus watching your journey. I wish you well for the future thanks for sharing ❤
Oh, my goodness, those canisters at 2:48 ... I still have my complete set that I bought new in the ... very late 1970s/very early 1980s? Can't remember exactly. You could also get the hot-dish pads with the same paint-on-metal design in varying sizes which you could hang on the wall. I still have a few of those pads on my walls. The sun fades them tremendously, so I keep my canisters in the cupboards and the pads on walls that do not face a window. I wish I'd known about your shop years ago. I only ever get to the valley for funerals these days; but it's a beautiful area and my mother's people are from there. It's lovely to see how you started - the variety! This is a wonderful video. :)
Love your antiques you redid. I have a warehouse space I’ve been renting for a year full of mid century pieces. Since those don’t sell here in Montreal anymore, I’m going to sell them all off to empty that space. I’m concentrating on only antiques now because they sell so well on Etsy. You are right about everyone finding their own style with time. I’m also slowly transitioning back to milk paint for the more ornate pieces. I love what I do now and feel so lucky every day when I enter my studio to work. I love watching your videos. I hope the storm this weekend didn’t do too much damage.
Thanks so much for watching!
It was wonderful to see the evolution of your style. I loved all of the bunny shots.
Angie, girl you have come a long way in your style evolution. I love what you do to wood. It's always so warm and welcoming. I especially loved the distressed lite aqua dresser. I know it isn't MCM, but I love the old stuff too.
And the bunnies!💖
Thanks so much for watching!
You have worked hard for what you have , every best wish for you .
Thanks for watching!
Been following you for over a year - thank you for posting this video and allowing us to get to know you even better❤️! Love your work and your values! Fellow Canadian and bunny lover👍! Your story is authentic and inspiring 🥰. Keep doing what you do and stay safe!
Thanks so much for watching!
