I was in the antiques business most of my adult life and I think your sensitivity for these pieces, excellent taste as well as exceptional skill for refinishing is incredible. This video was NOT too long, it was fascinating, educational and wonderful to watch and listen to. I happily subscribed!
I found it refreshing, she's quite knowledgable and I too, learnt a lot watching and listening to Transcend Furniture Gallery today. So glad that it just popped up today, will be watching some more!
Angie says she watched 1 K vids before leaping into furniture refinishing !! Well i’m so used to seeing this exact piece of furniture & they all looked pretty distressed. Never imagined what it could look like & i’d L❤️VE to pay to own this piece❣️❣️❣️What a talent you have Angie, Dearest❣️
I too found it fascinating and educational. Learned a ton! Your commentary is excellent and the music is just the right volume level. Very well executed! Will definitely continue to watch! :)
I think your subscribers aren’t typical RUclips subscribers that average out to 20 minutes and then abandon the video as too long. Instead, I think we love the longer videos. Especially on a piece that surely was destined for the landfill. This one can withstand another 100 years. It’s so gorgeous I just about need sunglasses to look at it!
I agree 100%. Just stumbled on to your channel and am so excited I did. I feel like I’m “learning” from you. I really appreciate you going through the whys and how’s of what you’re doing. Beautiful work.
I agree, most people's attention spans don't allow for watching anything over 5 mins. Lol I love your vids because you are not only artistically refinishing , you are also teaching ~
Absolutely!!! I'm captivated at the beginning and must see everything she does and how amazing it is! Honestly, if I miss a few words, I will even rewind to catch them! Lol
Amazing to see someone on the internet that actually restores and refinishes furniture, instead of covering all that should be removed with "chalk" or "milk" paint.
As a woman woodworker for over 25 years, I am so happy to see another woman sharpening her tools. This is the first time I've ever seen it done in any video that I've watched. Also, this is the first video of yours that I've watched and I'm so glad to see you didn't use oven cleaner to "strip" this piece. Oh, and thanks for not killing the spiders. I evict them also and never kill them. So, to recap: A woman who sharpens her tools, strips wood the right way and doesn't kill spiders. Awesome!
Couldn't agree with you more. 👏💖for moving the spiders, and 👍👍 for keeping the tools clean, organized, and sharpened. I'm one of those "a place for everything, etc." people, and my two long-term roomies have ADHD. Scream!
You took that poor, smelly unloved little dresser and saved it from certain oblivion. Someone will love it for years to come. I can’t overstate the significance of what you do. It creates positivity on so many levels. Know that you are appreciated by many people and may you continue for a long, long time.
You told quite a story while restoring this piece, like a fairy tale with a happy ending! The transformation is phenomenal and you are truly a gifted craftsman! Thanks for sharing your expertise and knowledge with us, love it!!!
Wow! You are a true craftsman. Not even today's furniture manufacturers could have created a piece like this. Love the wood finishes. It looks beautiful.
Before I go down to the basement to look at my grandparents 1940's secretary that I've wanted to resurrect for years, I wanted to say thanks for this video. I've never seen your work before and it was a wonderful way to start my day. You are not only a talented restorer, the filming and editing of this project is wonderful. Kudos to you!
I watch dozens of videos daily. (I’m retired. It’s ok.). I rarely comment, maybe 2-3 times a year. But this is one of those times. Great job! Your care and respect for the wood and how to restore shows throughout the video. Keep it up! The world needs dedicated craftsmen (craftspersons?) like you.
@TranscendFurnitureGallery wow! It's gorgeous! We have a matching wardrobe and chest of drawers to that piece. Sadly, both of our furniture pieces look like the piece you started with. We have them in our bedroom. I wish I could have ours refinished by you. You are amazing! Love your attention to every detail. Fantastic! Thanks for the video.
What I love most about your channel is how you give each peice what it needs. Your thinking is not limited to one way of refinishing a peice whether your decide to paint, stain, apply odies oil or a combination.
The end result is so beautiful, it really made me feel emotional thinking how this could so easily have been lost in landfill forever. It’s an absolute joy seeing how much work and love you put into these poor old pieces. Loved the detail in this video and it certainly wasn’t too long, I was so interested. Congratulations on the $3k you raised for the bunnies - that was a lot of tattoos.
Oh my goodness, this is probably my favorite transformation yet! If I could give you 5 thumbs up I would. You really created a masterpiece out of something that looked so beat up, chipped, scarred, etc. Loved watching every minute!
😮 Thank you for giving this old lady hours of incredulous enjoyment and awe! The tenacious love, patience and attention you give to the smallest blemish BLOWS MY MIND!!! I think you would’ve made an excellent surgeon 👏👏👏❣️ 40:21
Girl, I watch hundreds of hours of furniture flipping videos and I have honestly never seen anything so spectacular!!! Wow. Your eye for beauty, attention to detail, color choices, and excellent instruction is worthy of an award!!! I watched every second, did not feel it was too long, and even watched some parts twice. Phenomenal work, Bravo! (of course I am now a subscriber).
Ooh, this turned out really nice! Thank you for not killing spiders, rescuing bunnies, saving furniture from landfills, and for sharing your most excellent work with us! I've learned loads from watching your channel!
OMG! No one would ever suspect that this gorgeous piece used to look as pitiful as it did. For some reason the seller had been holding onto it knowing that one day the right person would come along and see that it still had some worth and he was absolutely right. Thankfully that person was you, and with your love patience and expertise it’s finally been lovingly and painstakingly restored back to it’s natural glory and it looks absolutely beautiful. You’re definitely a miracle worker!!❤👏👏
Have you sent the seller a photo, or better yet, a link to this incredible video? They will be amazed and grateful that their old dresser is beautiful and will be loved once again. You do excellent work, but more importantly, you treat each piece with such care. I love your channel. Thank you for sharing.❤
Oh my goodness, what a transformation. That piece looked pretty hopeless in the beginning. You did such a great job, I’m totally impressed. Love that you showed the bunnies. It’s so sweet that you support a bunny rescue. People often get bunnies, ducks and chicks not realizing these are live creatures that depend on us to take good care of them. Often after the newness runs out they are discarded. We need people like you.
You really turned this into a real keepsake for generations. It is absolutely stunning. The depth of your vision is spot on and you made something old and ready for the dump, regal and perfect again. It is a true work of art with your signature refurbishment! Congratulations. I love this.
I don’t know what to say about this piece. It came out stunning! I literally watched you turn that piece into a treasure. I’m blown away. And I didn’t know you were tattoo artist! You’re even cooler now! Love your videos and I don’t mind the long ones at all. Loved learning how you choose to remove finishes and what tools to use. Very helpful. ❤️
It looks so finished and the color variations are so smooth and transition so well together. You did an outstanding job. No one would ever think this piece looked the way it did before you worked on it.
This was one of the best I have seen. Your care for restoration makes me want to cry. I know that sounds dramatic, but I absolutely feel connected to antique wood furniture - it’s life is still inside. You’ve given this piece, easily, another hundred years. Thank you!
Thank you for content that is By a woman, and is so interesting and useful.The 40 min flew by for me.I’m just tinkering and learning about refinishing old pieces. Keep up the awesome work, and videos .Love the rabbits as well.
I live in a bus,but you make me want to live in a house just so I could fill it up with all of your amazing pieces of gloryness!!!!Very extremely talented young lady.Great heart& soul I feel.All the way from New Zealand.
Angie, you never disappoint! (no pressure 😂😂). I was thrilled that you covered something as basic as how to sharpen our scraper blades, and ideas on how to deal with smelly old wood. Working on these pieces is more than just slapping on a coat of paint. I pick up so many practical how-to tips with each video, you’ve really earned some tea! 🫖☕️🫖
Honestly. You outdid yourself with this one. I freakin love black and wood combo! You make me want to level up my game every time I touch a piece of furniture! And neverrrrrr apologize for a long vid or for bunnies ;)
I truly love everything you do but this dresser is beyond beautiful! Not being painted was an awesome choice for this piece. Thank you for saving the ugly pieces from the dump and making them into “swans”! 🌸
I literally can’t believe the transformation of this piece. I love to watch your videos and the care and attention you bring to your restorations, but this is next level. It’s magical. Count yourself lucky you live in the 21st century; you would have been burned as a witch back in the day 😂
Welcome back, Angie. We've missed you. This is a most beautiful piece. I would be happy to have it in my home. Your bunny project is the best ever. Thank you for caring for the little creatures. This is a great project to start the Summer. I look forward to more treats from you soon.
Wow, Angie. This piece looks brand new, fresh off the showroom. And thank you for the long lingering shots in the reveal. We needed to feast our eyes!! Honestly could not see any patches, painting or anything. It looks absolutely superb, you can sense it smiling with pride at the transformational magic you worked on it. Thank you so much for telling the whole story, and especially for including the bunn-bunns. 🐰
What surprised me the most, was that the Ozone treatment DIDN'T kill the spider! I've been a subscriber since I discovered your channel, while languishing in hospital after breaking my hip. --- I think your narration, and the love and good humour in your voice, is probably the best of all the "restoring" videos. (BTW, I'm an actor, so this is high praise!). Much appreciation coming your way! 🥰
The spider was safely evicted prior to the ozone treatment thankfully! He was able to escape the vacuuming but then revealed himself and was moved to the yard. Thanks so much for watching!
OH MY GOODNESS! This is absolutely the most incredible furniture restoration I've ever seen! Gorgeous. The work and detail you put into this piece was amazing and inspiring.
I Love, love, love how approachable & accessible your advice is. You are never patronising, nor do you assume anything of your audience, except that they want to be here with you. I’ve learned SO much from your process. I really appreciate all the little maintenance & upkeep notes you add in. So helpful.
You are a master at your craft. The integrity of your work is beyond reproach, I don't usually comment but I feel that I must after watching your videos, especially this one for the nth time. So very appreciative of your works of art.
This transformation was astounding! It looks like it was never on the brink of "death" but like someone cared for it throughout its life. Absolutely amazing!!!!!
I'm so happy you saved this piece. It looked ready to be trashed indeed, and I think most of us would have tossed it without a second thought. But you saw the potential and the final product is absolutely beautiful! Seeing videos like this just makes me very happy! Thank you Angie! 😊
WOW!! I watch a lot of videos of people flipping older furniture but it's incredible that you really restored this to original more than just making the repairs and changes needed to update it for flipping. I'm so impressed. It will definitely be out of a barn, into a house for another lifetime of use and enjoyment.
Beautiful work. I wish I had the patience to do this but I know my limits. This is a very lovely resurrection of a nice piece. Also, It looks slightly updated but in a way that honors and does not ruin it's original state. WELL DONE!
This restoration was amazing. Watching this restoration was an honor. As a lover of antiques, you are a breath of fresh air and just what the community needs. Thank you for this.
I appreciate you extending your content for a “newbie” like myself! The knowledge I have gained from you is immeasurable! This piece is absolutely stunning! Such talent!!
I think the thing I like the most about your videos is the way you handle the pieces with so much love and respect. Every touch, firm or soft, is so gentle. You show respect for their history and you have great taste too. I bet they feel like your beloved children.
OMG! That dresser is beyond stunning! I don't think I've ever seen a piece that was transformed more beautifully than this was! This was the first video I've seen of yours. I'm now a follower. Thanks for showing us that you can save these treasures because they're not making them anymore!
You are patient and thorough and your attention to detail is extraordinary! I have been doing this for 30 years and sometimes take the easy way out even though I know better. I am usually in a time crunch. You take your time, use the right tools and do it the right way. Love the outcome!
I think I’ve watched this video 3 times, the whole thing from start to finish. It never ceases to amaze me the restoration done on this piece. Literally takes my breath away each time. Well done you!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! This is one of my favorite pieces that you’ve “transcended.” 😉☺️ And while I love the 20-minute videos, do know that I love your longer videos because that means more to watch!! So no need to apologize. You are so talented, Angie!
Totally amazed at your skill, and ability to see the beauty in what was clearly destined for the garbage dump. I love that you take the time to do the inside of the draws. I haven't seen anyone else go through so much trouble to make the inside of the draws look like near new condition. People don't want to put their thing, weather it would be clothes, linens, or sterling in a draw that stinks, and is not clean. You have taught me a fine lesson. Thank you, Katie Anderson Windsor CT
The moment I saw the first "after" picture, I couldn't believe this is the same piece. I'm glad you took the time to show us every painstaking itty bitty piece of work that had to be done.. it wasn't just slapping on a coat of paint and calling it a day, but actual restoration. I'm always on the edge at the end when the paint and finishing happens but this one is an absolute winner. Stunning! Anyone would be lucky to have this in their homes. ♥️
Absolutely stunning. What a beautiful result particularly when you look at the state of piece that you started with. And you have such a great eye for combining various paint colours with the assorted woods - stained or not , it doesn't matter.
The care you take with this pieces is amazing. The fact that you take the time to film it so carefully is even more amazing. I learned so much watching!❤
Omg, you have astounding patience! That was a painstaking restoration! The finished piece is simply gorgeous. You have incredible vision and skill and attention to detail. Most people, including myself, would have gotten overwhelmed with all the fine detail and repair work this piece needed, and either would have given up on it or would have ended up cutting corners just to get to the end. I love and admire your care and commitment in patiently plodding through to address every detail of the piece and accomplish a thorough and artistic restoration. Your work ethic is outstanding.
Absolutely gorgeous! I just jumped in and started watching, I didn't realize until I read the comments that it was 40min, time flies when you're captivated. You ALWAYS do an amazing process and I feel like I learn SO much.
Thank you much for taking the time to show us how to repair veneer. My wife has a side board that's been handed down for generations, and sadly the veneer has become damaged. My wife cried when she saw it. This gives me hope that we can repair it. Thank you.
You're so very welcome!! I'm so glad to help! I also have several other videos on repairing veneer and I also have a compilation video here - ruclips.net/video/y43NDPi4OsI/видео.html that may help.
I initially thought this was a worthless effort and you proved me wrong as you breathed new life into this piece. I am WOWED!!! I love this more than the painted pieces other artists "play with". Your skill and passion should not go unrecognized. I purchased an old secretary that I thought about painting and now I am inspired to bring back its original beauty. Thank you for the time you gave to us to show us it can be done if you commit to the time and the care the project requires.
honestly i think this is your best transformation yet. you took a piece that was absolutely trashed and now it looks brand new and incredibly classy. i can't even see the patches on the drawers like i expected to.
Watching this reminded me of my grandmother. She was widowed young with 9 children and a farm during WWII and lost her oldest son. She, like you, could see the life left in a piece and found ways to use what she had to bring things back to life. I loved this entire not-too-long video and your commentary while we watched you work. My father taught me how to do very basic woodworking and I picked up a few things before raising our 2 daughters. I remember my hubby was flabbergasted when I took the kitchen cabinet doors/drawer fronts off and refinished them while he was out of town for a week. I told him his part was hardware install & putting them all back on! Anyway I’m helping my daughter strip and restore a dining table for her 1st real apartment. I hope I’ve passed on my grandmother’s DIY & “can do” spirit to my daughters & glad we have you as a resource to help!
This is lovely, and thanks for making the video longer to show how to properly repair this old dresser. I found it very satisfying to watch it to the very end. My dad was a woodworker and he would have liked to watch this video as much as I did, just to see the care given. Yes, it could have become trash so easily, but thanks for saving a little piece of furniture history.
I am speechless! The veneer replacement was beautifully done. The areas closest to the legs turned out amazing the veneer in this area was the perfect blend color to the painted legs. All I know is that for all of the work you put into it you made it worth it. Especially for the beauty you brought out of it.❤️
I happen to come across your channel the other day . I am hooked. This one actually made me quite emotional. Because emotionally and physically I feel like I was that beginning piece left in the barn to rot and eventually get thrown away. And then to see how you were able to save it from the garbage and make it beautiful again, made me realize that I can be like that too. And instead of keep covering myself up in paint (metaphorically speaking). I believe that the Lord can do for me. Emotionally and physically heal me from my past. And can fix me up to be even more beautiful than when I started. Plus to have the age and wisdom that I am learning from all my experiences in life that may have caused a lot of the scratches and pieces falling apart. I hardly ever comment or even watch RUclips with videos like this. But this touched me inside. Thank you for giving me a new outlook that I didn't see before. I'm sure you weren't expecting a response as such as this. But you never know how you might be able to help somebody with what you do. You may only think that you are refinishing furniture and keeping it out of the garbage, but you've given me hope that I can be saved from the garbage as well. And I love what you do for the bunnies. We raised bunny rabbits when I was a child on our farm. And I've always had a pet bunny so to see somebody else caring so much for something that's so little in this big world is very encouraging and a blessing. Thank you again have a wonderful and blessed day
Wow Angie, you certainly have put a lot of time and effort into saving this piece and it shows! This is an absolutely amazing rescue. Keep the videos coming no matter how long they are, you're a pleasure to watch 🥰
Angie, you are not only amazing as a talented restorer but as a kind human. I’ve never watched a restoration video before. Yours just popped up and with the sweet rescues of the spiders to the generous donation for the bunnies I was hooked. I watched the entire video. The loving restoration was beautiful. I was never into antiques but I see what you have done with this chest and I remember old pieces that were in my family that could have been restored to beauty as well. Thank you for this great video,I’ll keep watching.
Can’t get enough of Transcend, Angie! Been watching your skill set grow & grow to expert and, combined with your artist’s eye, I’d now say Master! Many flippers I chk out like stopping for fast food. Yours are for feasting, lingering & appreciating the details - never too long!
I am sure this felt like a longer video than what most people will watch, but I would have watched the whole process in slow motion. Thank you for sharing your incredible skill and attention to detail. And thanks for caring for spiders and bunnies. The world needs more Angies. ❤
Major, major labor of love!! Your videos are never too long. I love watching you lovingly and patiently restore all these pieces. The artist in you always comes through.
Exquisite! I can’t watch any other restoration videos. You bring beauty into the world. A true artist. Lucky the buyer who brings one of your pieces into their home. ❤
Excellent out come on this piece. It had many of the fixes included that I needed to see ! I have a stinky dresser that also has drawers that need some repairs! Thanks for your continued teaching and reclamation of OLD, sometimes trash worthy pieces! Keeps them out of the landfill and back into use. Love it !
LOVE the bunny intermission! Love the care you have when issuing eviction notices. I absolutely love your work. You have a genuine soul and I admire that!
It's obvious that you love what you do. The attention to detail is amazing and the final products are awesome! Keep doing what you can to restore the beautiful old furniture because the new stuff isn't worth the effort.

You took that poor, smelly unloved little dresser and saved it from certain oblivion. Someone will love it for years to come. I can’t overstate the significance of what you do. It creates positivity on so many levels. Know that you are appreciated by many people and may you continue for a long, long time.
Heirloom quality now.
You told quite a story while restoring this piece, like a fairy tale with a happy ending! The transformation is phenomenal and you are truly a gifted craftsman! Thanks for sharing your expertise and knowledge with us, love it!!!
Looks beautiful 😊
@@Deborahamend1 --Yes, Handmaiden: your point that this restoration is "like a fairy tale," a Cinderella story. I feel the same way.
Wow! You are a true craftsman. Not even today's furniture manufacturers could have created a piece like this. Love the wood finishes. It looks beautiful.

You're one of the most meticulous restorationists I've seen. Your attention to the smallest details is the reason your projects turn out so well.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

Looking forward for the most recent one of the last one of the first time I've seen .
Astoundingly beautiful. What workmanship
You are truly amazing ❤️❤️ love it!
😮 Thank you for giving this old lady hours of incredulous enjoyment and awe! The tenacious love, patience and attention you give to the smallest blemish BLOWS MY MIND!!! I think you would’ve made an excellent surgeon 👏👏👏❣️ 40:21
You're so welcome! Thank you so much for watching!
That seriously looks like a fine, preserved antique! Literally no one would ever guess how close it was to being trashed. You are super talented!
This is really quite stunning. Very, very well done
Thank you so much for watching!

Wow, thank you! Welcome to my channel, I'm so glad you were able to find me. 😊
Totally agree - Masterful
I have followed you for some time and have watched you mature as a woodworker using more tools.
This restoration was very impressive 😊
Beautiful work...I have a piece from my grandmother which is pretty old, as I am now a great grandmother! Where can I find you?
I'd love to have you redo it for me.
Ooh, this turned out really nice!
Thank you for not killing spiders, rescuing bunnies, saving furniture from landfills, and for sharing your most excellent work with us! I've learned loads from watching your channel!
I dont mind a longer video. Nothing was being dragged out, in fact, you were constantly showing your skill and experience. Loved it. Thankyou
You're welcome! ☺️

I'm so glad Wendy! Thanks for watching!
After restoration, this chest of drawers is difficult to recognize! My applause to the Master!
Thank you very much! 🙂
This restoration is on a whole other level, gave me goosebumps!
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you like it! 😊
Wow turned out a little beauty! Paint combo just lifts it up to a modern contemporary look. You were right to keep the ornate handles. Well done xx
I don’t know what to say about this piece. It came out stunning! I literally watched you turn that piece into a treasure. I’m blown away. And I didn’t know you were tattoo artist! You’re even cooler now! Love your videos and I don’t mind the long ones at all. Loved learning how you choose to remove finishes and what tools to use. Very helpful. ❤️

Carrie, I understand completely!! I love antique furniture and the beautiful wood grain.
Thank you for content that is By a woman, and is so interesting and useful.The 40 min flew by for me.I’m just tinkering and learning about refinishing old pieces.
Keep up the awesome work, and videos .Love the rabbits as well.
Absolutely Magnificent!!!! You have an uncanny ability of bringing a piece of furniture back to life again. You never disappoint me. Great work.
I literally caught my breath when I saw the raw wood grain on top of the dresser. What a lovely piece.
Thank you very much!
I live in a bus,but you make me want to live in a house just so I could fill it up with all of your amazing pieces of gloryness!!!!Very extremely talented young lady.Great heart& soul I feel.All the way from New Zealand.
Awe, thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
Beautiful...lots of work and exceptional talent saved this dresser!!!
Angie, you never disappoint! (no pressure 😂😂). I was thrilled that you covered something as basic as how to sharpen our scraper blades, and ideas on how to deal with smelly old wood. Working on these pieces is more than just slapping on a coat of paint. I pick up so many practical how-to tips with each video, you’ve really earned some tea! 🫖☕️🫖
Terrific segment on sharpening tools, the bunnies and the outcome of this furniture destined for the dumps. Bravo
You are a true artist
Honestly. You outdid yourself with this one. I freakin love black and wood combo! You make me want to level up my game every time I touch a piece of furniture! And neverrrrrr apologize for a long vid or for bunnies ;)
Agree entirely!!
This came out amazing! I can feel this furniture piece smiling and feeling proud again. You gave it a new life. Just beautiful!
Wow 👌
I really appreciate that, thank you! 😊
So incredibly well done! Brilliant!
Thank you so much!! 😊
I truly love everything you do but this dresser is beyond beautiful! Not being painted was an awesome choice for this piece. Thank you for saving the ugly pieces from the dump and making them into “swans”! 🌸
All I can say is "WOW!!!" How beautiful restoring that back to its Glory days.
I literally can’t believe the transformation of this piece. I love to watch your videos and the care and attention you bring to your restorations, but this is next level. It’s magical. Count yourself lucky you live in the 21st century; you would have been burned as a witch back in the day 😂
Ha! It is magical.
That is so right about about them burning you in before times!!
WOW!! Is all I can say!!
I never, ever imagined that piece would turn out as beautiful as it did. Great job!
Thank you so much 😀
Welcome back, Angie. We've missed you. This is a most beautiful piece. I would be happy to have it in my home. Your bunny project is the best ever. Thank you for caring for the little creatures. This is a great project to start the Summer. I look forward to more treats from you soon.
Wow, Angie. This piece looks brand new, fresh off the showroom. And thank you for the long lingering shots in the reveal. We needed to feast our eyes!!
Honestly could not see any patches, painting or anything. It looks absolutely superb, you can sense it smiling with pride at the transformational magic you worked on it.
Thank you so much for telling the whole story, and especially for including the bunn-bunns. 🐰
What surprised me the most, was that the Ozone treatment DIDN'T kill the spider!
I've been a subscriber since I discovered your channel, while languishing in hospital after breaking my hip. --- I think your narration, and the love and good humour in your voice, is probably the best of all the "restoring" videos. (BTW, I'm an actor, so this is high praise!). Much appreciation coming your way! 🥰
She ozone’s it after she removed the spider.
The spider was safely evicted prior to the ozone treatment thankfully! He was able to escape the vacuuming but then revealed himself and was moved to the yard. Thanks so much for watching!
It’s so beautiful!
Thank you kindly Kathy! 😊
OH MY GOODNESS! This is absolutely the most incredible furniture restoration I've ever seen! Gorgeous. The work and detail you put into this piece was amazing and inspiring.
So beautiful who would ever know it was re stored. Looks brand new...fresh off the line.
Thank you so much for this incredible comment. I appreciate it so much! ❤️❤️
I am in awe of how you took that smelly piece of furniture and put so much love and hard work into restoring it! So beautiful!
Thank you so much for watching!
I Love, love, love how approachable & accessible your advice is. You are never patronising, nor do you assume anything of your audience, except that they want to be here with you. I’ve learned SO much from your process. I really appreciate all the little maintenance & upkeep notes you add in. So helpful.
I'm so glad I'm able to help! Thank you so much for watching and leaving such a great comment. I really appreciate that.
You are a master at your craft. The integrity of your work is beyond reproach, I don't usually comment but I feel that I must after watching your videos, especially this one for the nth time. So very appreciative of your works of art.
Wow!! Thank you so much!! I really appreciate this comment! ❤️
This transformation was astounding! It looks like it was never on the brink of "death" but like someone cared for it throughout its life. Absolutely amazing!!!!!
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
That’s exactly what I thought!
That was a stunning transformation! I'm gobsmacked!
I'm so happy you saved this piece. It looked ready to be trashed indeed, and I think most of us would have tossed it without a second thought. But you saw the potential and the final product is absolutely beautiful! Seeing videos like this just makes me very happy! Thank you Angie! 😊
I am so impressed!!!!!!! Nice work, thank your for sharing!!!!!!
You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
WOW!! I watch a lot of videos of people flipping older furniture but it's incredible that you really restored this to original more than just making the repairs and changes needed to update it for flipping. I'm so impressed. It will definitely be out of a barn, into a house for another lifetime of use and enjoyment.
Glad you liked it!! It's got a great new home and lots of life ahead of it! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful work. I wish I had the patience to do this but I know my limits. This is a very lovely resurrection of a nice piece. Also, It looks slightly updated but in a way that honors and does not ruin it's original state. WELL DONE!
"Resurrection" is a great word to use here!
This restoration was amazing. Watching this restoration was an honor. As a lover of antiques, you are a breath of fresh air and just what the community needs. Thank you for this.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for watching!
I appreciate you extending your content for a “newbie” like myself! The knowledge I have gained from you is immeasurable! This piece is absolutely stunning! Such talent!!
I think the thing I like the most about your videos is the way you handle the pieces with so much love and respect. Every touch, firm or soft, is so gentle. You show respect for their history and you have great taste too. I bet they feel like your beloved children.
Thank you so much 😊
OMG! That dresser is beyond stunning! I don't think I've ever seen a piece that was transformed more beautifully than this was! This was the first video I've seen of yours. I'm now a follower. Thanks for showing us that you can save these treasures because they're not making them anymore!
Welcome to my channel! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, thank you so much for watching! ❤️
I love this piece so much. You my dear, are a true artist.
Thank you very much! 😀
Awesome job and as usual you delivered. I love the fact you restore all of the pieces you can.
You are patient and thorough and your attention to detail is extraordinary! I have been doing this for 30 years and sometimes take the easy way out even though I know better. I am usually in a time crunch. You take your time, use the right tools and do it the right way. Love the outcome!
Thank you very much!
I think I’ve watched this video 3 times, the whole thing from start to finish. It never ceases to amaze me the restoration done on this piece. Literally takes my breath away each time. Well done you!
I'm so glad you like it!! 😊
You are such an interesting person! Ty for the video❤❤❤❤❤
You're very welcome! ☺️
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! This is one of my favorite pieces that you’ve “transcended.” 😉☺️ And while I love the 20-minute videos, do know that I love your longer videos because that means more to watch!! So no need to apologize. You are so talented, Angie!
Totally amazed at your skill, and ability to see the beauty in what was clearly destined for the garbage dump. I love that you take the time to do the inside of the draws. I haven't seen anyone else go through so much trouble to make the inside of the draws look like near new condition. People don't want to put their thing, weather it would be clothes, linens, or sterling in a draw that stinks, and is not clean. You have taught me a fine lesson. Thank you, Katie Anderson Windsor CT
I'm so glad you enjoyed my video Katie! Thank you so much for watching!
The moment I saw the first "after" picture, I couldn't believe this is the same piece. I'm glad you took the time to show us every painstaking itty bitty piece of work that had to be done.. it wasn't just slapping on a coat of paint and calling it a day, but actual restoration. I'm always on the edge at the end when the paint and finishing happens but this one is an absolute winner. Stunning! Anyone would be lucky to have this in their homes. ♥️
Thank you very much!! 😊
Fabulous attention to detail once again. It's really good to see how you care for your tools too.
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Absolutely stunning. What a beautiful result particularly when you look at the state of piece that you started with. And you have such a great eye for combining various paint colours with the assorted woods - stained or not , it doesn't matter.
What a beautiful restoration never seen anyone doing it for details before I loved all the tools that you use in this video
Yes, the tools are not to be beat!
Thank you so much! 😊
Just beautiful! Your patience, care and attention to detail are impressive. I'm a fan!
Stunning!
Thank you! 😊
The care you take with this pieces is amazing. The fact that you take the time to film it so carefully is even more amazing. I learned so much watching!❤
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching!
Omg, you have astounding patience! That was a painstaking restoration! The finished piece is simply gorgeous. You have incredible vision and skill and attention to detail. Most people, including myself, would have gotten overwhelmed with all the fine detail and repair work this piece needed, and either would have given up on it or would have ended up cutting corners just to get to the end. I love and admire your care and commitment in patiently plodding through to address every detail of the piece and accomplish a thorough and artistic restoration. Your work ethic is outstanding.
Wow! Thank you so very much! ❤️
Absolutely gorgeous! I just jumped in and started watching, I didn't realize until I read the comments that it was 40min, time flies when you're captivated. You ALWAYS do an amazing process and I feel like I learn SO much.
The results are impressive! Excellent work!
Thank you so much! 😊
Thank you much for taking the time to show us how to repair veneer. My wife has a side board that's been handed down for generations, and sadly the veneer has become damaged. My wife cried when she saw it. This gives me hope that we can repair it. Thank you.
You're so very welcome!! I'm so glad to help! I also have several other videos on repairing veneer and I also have a compilation video here - ruclips.net/video/y43NDPi4OsI/видео.html that may help.
Thanks for saving the oldie Goldie pieces.
I initially thought this was a worthless effort and you proved me wrong as you breathed new life into this piece. I am WOWED!!! I love this more than the painted pieces other artists "play with". Your skill and passion should not go unrecognized. I purchased an old secretary that I thought about painting and now I am inspired to bring back its original beauty. Thank you for the time you gave to us to show us it can be done if you commit to the time and the care the project requires.
Thank YOU so much for watching and for your kind words! Kudos to you for taking on the project, I'm sure it will be gorgeous when you're done! 😊
Your work is just quality every inch
Thank you! I really appreciate that! 😊
honestly i think this is your best transformation yet. you took a piece that was absolutely trashed and now it looks brand new and incredibly classy. i can't even see the patches on the drawers like i expected to.
Your attention to detail is truly remarkable! So much love, hard work and time put into this piece! Bravo! Beautiful work!
Thank you so much for watching! 🙂
wow. that's a stunning transformation. well done, it's a beautiful piece.
Wow! Just gorgeous! Love the black accent. That worked out so well. You do awesome work.!
Thank you kindly! 😀
Watching this reminded me of my grandmother. She was widowed young with 9 children and a farm during WWII and lost her oldest son. She, like you, could see the life left in a piece and found ways to use what she had to bring things back to life.
I loved this entire not-too-long video and your commentary while we watched you work.
My father taught me how to do very basic woodworking and I picked up a few things before raising our 2 daughters. I remember my hubby was flabbergasted when I took the kitchen cabinet doors/drawer fronts off and refinished them while he was out of town for a week. I told him his part was hardware install & putting them all back on!
Anyway I’m helping my daughter strip and restore a dining table for her 1st real apartment. I hope I’ve passed on my grandmother’s DIY & “can do” spirit to my daughters & glad we have you as a resource to help!
Kudos to you for passing it onto your daughters! ❤️ I'm so very glad you're enjoying my content. Thank you so much for watching!
This is lovely, and thanks for making the video longer to show how to properly repair this old dresser. I found it very satisfying to watch it to the very end. My dad was a woodworker and he would have liked to watch this video as much as I did, just to see the care given. Yes, it could have become trash so easily, but thanks for saving a little piece of furniture history.
You are so welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
I am speechless! The veneer replacement was beautifully done. The areas closest to the legs turned out amazing the veneer in this area was the perfect blend color to the painted legs. All I know is that for all of the work you put into it you made it worth it. Especially for the beauty you brought out of it.❤️
Thank you so much!
Always nice restorations, delicate and without screwing ❤
Without screwing?
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery I tried to say that your restorations are mostly artisanal and avoid screws
Absolutely beautiful! I think the person who made this is smiling with the biggest grin ever!! You take such pride in your work, and it shows!
Thank you so much for watching Claudia!
Unparalleled attention to detail and working WITH the piece. I love your determination! 😊
I happen to come across your channel the other day . I am hooked. This one actually made me quite emotional. Because emotionally and physically I feel like I was that beginning piece left in the barn to rot and eventually get thrown away. And then to see how you were able to save it from the garbage and make it beautiful again, made me realize that I can be like that too. And instead of keep covering myself up in paint (metaphorically speaking). I believe that the Lord can do for me. Emotionally and physically heal me from my past. And can fix me up to be even more beautiful than when I started. Plus to have the age and wisdom that I am learning from all my experiences in life that may have caused a lot of the scratches and pieces falling apart. I hardly ever comment or even watch RUclips with videos like this. But this touched me inside. Thank you for giving me a new outlook that I didn't see before. I'm sure you weren't expecting a response as such as this. But you never know how you might be able to help somebody with what you do. You may only think that you are refinishing furniture and keeping it out of the garbage, but you've given me hope that I can be saved from the garbage as well. And I love what you do for the bunnies. We raised bunny rabbits when I was a child on our farm. And I've always had a pet bunny so to see somebody else caring so much for something that's so little in this big world is very encouraging and a blessing. Thank you again have a wonderful and blessed day
I'm so glad you enjoyed my video Deborah! Thank you for taking the time to leave such an incredible comment. You are appreciated!
Lovely piece! Night and day difference.
Thank you very much! 😀
Wow Angie, you certainly have put a lot of time and effort into saving this piece and it shows! This is an absolutely amazing rescue. Keep the videos coming no matter how long they are, you're a pleasure to watch 🥰
Angie, you are not only amazing as a talented restorer but as a kind human. I’ve never watched a restoration video before. Yours just popped up and with the sweet rescues of the spiders to the generous donation for the bunnies I was hooked. I watched the entire video. The loving restoration was beautiful. I was never into antiques but I see what you have done with this chest and I remember old pieces that were in my family that could have been restored to beauty as well. Thank you for this great video,I’ll keep watching.
Thank you so very much Carrol! I'm so glad you enjoyed my content and welcome to the channel!
Can’t get enough of Transcend, Angie! Been watching your skill set grow & grow to expert and, combined with your artist’s eye, I’d now say Master! Many flippers I chk out like stopping for fast food. Yours are for feasting, lingering & appreciating the details - never too long!
Beautiful!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
I am sure this felt like a longer video than what most people will watch, but I would have watched the whole process in slow motion. Thank you for sharing your incredible skill and attention to detail. And thanks for caring for spiders and bunnies. The world needs more Angies. ❤
Me too! Not too long at all
Awe, thank you so very much for the kind words! They are greatly appreciated. ❤️🕷️🐰
Dang! That looks sharp!! Totally worth watching 40 min to see such a transformation! Excellent job!
Major, major labor of love!! Your videos are never too long. I love watching you lovingly and patiently restore all these pieces. The artist in you always comes through.
Thank you so very much!
Exquisite! I can’t watch any other restoration videos. You bring beauty into the world. A true artist. Lucky the buyer who brings one of your pieces into their home. ❤
Thank you so much 😀
Excellent out come on this piece. It had many of the fixes included that I needed to see ! I have a stinky dresser that also has drawers that need some repairs! Thanks for your continued teaching and reclamation of OLD, sometimes trash worthy pieces! Keeps them out of the landfill and back into use. Love it !
LOVE the bunny intermission! Love the care you have when issuing eviction notices. I absolutely love your work. You have a genuine soul and I admire that!
Thank you so much Krissy!
It's obvious that you love what you do. The attention to detail is amazing and the final products are awesome! Keep doing what you can to restore the beautiful old furniture because the new stuff isn't worth the effort.
Thank you! Will do!
Excellent job. All your hard work paid off. Beautiful unit
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! 😊
