Thanks for watching! I'm sitting here laughing at my ridiculous thumbnail, which looks like I want to fight but am a little scared, hahahaha! In all seriousness though, these are just some things I wanted to point out so that you don't make the same mistakes I did!
"Mistakes make new learning. " A quote/motto I had in my classroom. Embrace you mistakes don't be embarrassed by them. Teach them to others so they may learn. Love this video and your message.
You show a lot of integrity by making this video, Angie. I salute you for that. Personally, I just liked watching you create those miracles again... :)
Hi Angie I Love your methods for refinishing your pieces I Love how spontaneous real & honest you are Please don't change how YOU do you and how you refinish your pieces and how you film what you do The way you do what you do is why I watch YOUR videos and not someone's else's Love the bunnies & cats too Raven St. Pete Florida
Angie, just look at the amazing increase in subscribers you've gained in less than a year! And most of the comments are positive, encouraging and kind. Focus on those who appreciate yours gifts, have helpful information and less on those who are not constructive or just plain rude. Who knows why some need to be rude. I look forward to each new project and have learned so much.
I love that you're so self-effacing. It's comforting to know that even the professionals make mistakes. And though you didn't intend your channel to be "instructional", I've learned so much from you that I look at other flippers and think, "No! That's not right. What are you doing?"
'It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.' I enjoy your videos and learn so much from watching them. You're in it for all the right reasons! I love the bunny and kitty cat intermissions. Did you notice your cat yawning in the video? So cute!
1:13 the point IS learning! None of us are born all-knowing. Life is a learning journey, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for including us on your journey! I really appreciate your openness and honesty.
Love a person who can admit their mistakes! I know I want to remain teachable, always! Glad you're this kind too. I love your videos and never never speed them up so I can them over faster, like I do with some other people's. Your voice is soothing; your teaching methods excellent. And, more bunnies!
I commend you for owning your mistakes and sharing with us so we can learn from them too. You should never ever be embarrassed or ashamed of making mistakes that’s how we learn! Thanks for sharing❣️
I appreciate that! It can be hard to put yourself out there, especially "these days" on the internet. haha. Thankfully, most people (like you) are amazingly supportive and I'm so thankful!
Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter! Love the bunnies, they're so sweet. Speaking of mistakes, I really worried (still am) about uploading my last video. I'm never absolutely perfect, but I tried blending clay-based paint with chalk-based & had a heck of a time getting my blend. Granted, I knew that these were going to be texture-specific, but I wanted a moody, grunge look. It was tough and I decided to upload it anyway, since it turned out as I'd hoped and it may help someone someday (or give them a laugh). Thank you for sharing these!!!
I work at a Restore, and started to refinish pieces in 2020. I tell everyone who comes in looking for a piece "but it's the wrong color" about your channel. I even sit and watch the videos with them. You've helped me sell ALOT of furniture. And your why I've fallen in love with mixed painted and stained pieces.
BUNNIES! 😍 Also, admitting mistakes is good. Any professional who says they never make mistakes is a fibber 😉 We learn from our own mistakes, and from the mistakes of others.
Thank you for this video! I am entirely learning from experimentation and RUclips videos (not the best maybe "but it's what I've got" 😁). So I appreciate anyone who can say this is wrong and this is why...
Even high-end pro woodworkers know how important it is to recover from mistakes. Kudos on the safety bit. You could really benefit from a nice bench with a vise, a table saw and router table. Keep up the great work!
Actually, after those original videos were filmed, I did get a table saw! And a miter saw. :-) I’m going to be making a work table soon. :-) Little bits at a time!
It's a mark of someone with integrity and a great work ethic to be able to share mistakes, so that others can learn from them too. It also gives others the push they need to try their hand at something they've always wanted to do, but perhaps were afraid to. Nothing in life is perfect. On a different note, the new "baby" bunnies are adorable. I lost one of my bunnies unexpectedly just after xmas, so it's been really hard, but seeing these jumbo baby cuties really warmed my heart.
Perfect timing as I messed up my final coat of poly on a small table. I have stripped, sanded and re-stained-ready to reapply 😬. I want it to look like it deserves.
That’s what I love most about you and your channel. You always recognize and admit your mistakes so we can all learn from them. Thank you for your honesty. Not all channels are like that!
This video just showed up on my weekend’s binge, and it reinforces my belief in your ethical professionalism. In particular, the sense that you feel a responsibility to people who will learn from - and possibly emulate the working styles on - your videos is pretty wonderful. As a former professor of more than 40 years, it warms my heart to see talented people who understand that their viewers believe they know the right way to do things. Thank you for stepping up to the responsibility of being a persuader - even an accidental one.
Hey Angie, thank you so much for sharing this. Who knew this stuff? I really appreciate your willingness to share ‘mistakes’ (lessons learned), so that as a newbie I can learn and avoid having to learn the hard way :)
I don’t understand some people. Mistakes are important for learning. Never be ashamed at making mistakes. I love your taste. I think your sense of style is fabulous and makes your work beautiful and classic. Love the bunnies. I live in Florida and get to see little bunny a lot. So cute! They are very fearless as they have learned that we are a safe community. ❤ Shirley
Gosh, I love watching you and learning. To me, its amazing how much knowledge I have about about wood and refinishing pieces because of you.So thank you so much!!! Please don't stop
You know what? We all learn from our mistakes. We all make them. And, hopefully, we grow, from them. They make us better at what we do. You are an amazing person and I always look forward to your videos.
0:36 -- Holy crickets, that's the most beautiful refinish I've ever seen in my LIFE. Seriously, my jaw DROPPED at this. I have to say that you have a very different vision than I in terms of what looks good, but every single time it comes to the reveal, your idea is completely vindicated. You have such a strong personal vision in your work, and your taste is absolutely impeccable. If I could purchase that set at 0:36, I would.
Angie, the journey in learning and fine tuning your craft continues. There is no shame in making mistakes. They are oops and lessons to check off. I love your videos and sharing your transformations with us. Thanks
You are such an amazing furniture artist that I am in awe of your skills! What you call a mistake, I would call a blip!! Those things you identified as a mistake, are done routinely in most other videos of this genre! Thank you for your integrity!
Bravo for owning your mistakes and explaining them so we all can learn. The take-home messages for me here are "measure twice, cut once." And "safety first," even if it takes a few extra minutes. Thank you. (I also vote for Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme for the rescue bunnies. 🐰🐰🐰🐰)
Any which way you cut it, you make beautiful mistakes. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching you & learning from your channel. Everyone has a learning curve & it’s great to know that even people who do this all the time make errors. It’s nice you can share them with us so maybe we don’t make the same ones while working on our projects.
I’m a Safety Engineer and you do a pretty good job, “safety wise” for a home or personal workshop. You can always wear cut resistant gloves, eye protection and respirators as needed but if you ignore all those suggestions, please use some type of table to keep your “guide thumb” attached. 😉
Funny, every time I watch your videos I realize mistakes I’ve made with the few pieces I’ve done. Biggest was sanding a whole dresser, and after patching, I painted the whole thing the same color. I now wish I had left the wood look top and built in some contrast between frame and drawers. Thanks so much for sharing all that you do, even your mistakes!!
You can't truly learn if you don't make mistakes. I appreciate your candor, your light heartedness, and your obvious talent. You have a great eye and it's fun to see how you transform these pieces!
Hello Angie, I wanted to send a quick message to say thank you to you! I've watched many, many (! ) of your videos and love the transformations you create from furniture you rescue, not to mention all the techniques you've taught me. Your pet's cameos are a great additions to your videos, too! Thanks again, Angie!
I’ve learned so much from you, Angie. My neighbor turned me on to your channel. We talk about the things that we learned from you. Thanks for your forthright, kind delivery.
Thank you for taking your viewers into consideration! Truly, I enjoy watching your work ~ so very much ~ please keep being kind ~ as well as being appropriate, it also becomes you ~ courage! And onto more furniture battles, hopefully with enjoyment attached!
Thanks for sharing these mistakes with us so that we can try to avoid them. I've learned so much from watching your videos! You have a lovely way of explaining what you do. Love your new foster bunnies. I bunny sat three bunnies for my friend while she was on holiday and now I'm hooked... I'm thinking of adopting a pair in the future as well!
The patch on the teakwood desk was great!! I think a dowel patch might have worked too if you have a large one . I used dowels in several dresser drawer hardware holes that are difficult for me to find now. Never mind the comments above. I watched on and see you addressed the dowel issue. Name the bunnies parsley, sage , rosemary and thyme
I watch and re-watch many of your videos and admire your craftsmanship each time...and learn a new thing or two that I missed the first time around! Thanks again.
You my dear are a Master! Idk what you say! Your overall artistic design of a finished piece and your methods of getting the results are quite impressive for this old gal! You inspire me to get into a woodworking class. I’ve always been intimidated by power tools which causes me to never go after any broken pieces. Anyway love your artistry!!!
I love your tenacity. No matter the thought, time and effort you have to put into a piece, you always see it through to the end. (And the end is always perfect and amazing). You are also a great teacher. I've learned so much from watching you. Thank you!!
Accidents happen.. Cabinet/furniture maker for 38 years..occasionally I get complacent ( cocky lol ) and make mistakes.. well done! You do awesome work!!!
Great video! Mistakes are sometimes the best teachers, and sometimes you get a "happy mistake" that takes you in a whole other direction 😊 Thanks for sharing!
Very interesting! The last piece BEFORE you refinished it-I seriously had a visceral reaction to how gross & fakey the plasticy coating was!! I absolutely cannot even believe it has been REBORN to such a stunning piece in the end.
Anyone who hasn't messed up a DIY project, raise your hand....... (Hummm, nothing seen here!) Just as I thought, Angie, we are all guilty of oopsing now and then. I, for one, appreciate the way you explain things and give directions. I look forward to your presentations each week because I love that MCM look and how you manage to take trash and make it into something to show off is special. Don't stop now, Angie, you're too good to quit. (Oh, and I love your new bunnies!)
Thank you Angie ! This last dresser was one of my all time favorites !! Thanks again for showing your "mistakes" so maybe we won't make the same ones, but others hahaha.
This was so good! I don't refinish furniture, but I just love watching your videos and learning about the mistakes is so educational. I find your voice and style super comforting. Thank you for making this, and all your videos!
You def inspired me! Bought my first sets of carbide scrapers. No lack of pieces to work on, lol, bought several. Haven’t done in years. Time to start. Plan to try upholstery too. 😊
I didn't realise you were from NS! Your work has been a huge inspiration, and that you're from my home province just warms my heart that much more. Also -- I second the Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail & Peter suggestion.
Such a different video and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. We all make mistakes and hopefully we learn from them. No one is perfect. Out of all the channels I watch on You Tube, yours is my favorite Angie. I always look so forward to a new one posted. As always, thanks for another great one. Enjoy the rest of your day! 🌞
Thank you so much for sharing your mistakes. It helps all of us that are learning. If I watch someone that just shows the “perfect” way to refinish without addressing possible issues that can come up from either the piece or my mistakes, it doesn’t really help when those situations come up. You do such beautiful work and you really share a lot of knowledge, love your videos!❤️
I absolutely adore that last one. It looks real art Deco, doesn't it? Just love the colourings you chose for it. My goodness you have some talent sweetie. Keep up the great work. Love from Oz.
What a transformation that last one was! Wow! So nice. We all make mistakes or take the hard road sometimes. Ugh.. but thanks for showing us all the ways you do things. Love your channel
Such a brave vid. Not many would admit to not doing things the right way or even a dangerous way. You have and we can all learn from that. I’m glad you still have 10 digits, your sense of humour and your will to share your restorations with us. Thank you so much for sharing.
This is really helpful. I would love a video like this on the hardware. How to know what is real and the best way to clean, etc. Thanks for all your videos!
I like you. Thank you for all your postings. Especially showing your errors. I’m just starting out and find your videos educational as well as inspiring. I’m in Naples Florida. It’s as far down on the west coast of Florida as you can go before key west. I look forward to your next video. Thanks for being you!!! Diana
i love that you share the stuff that goes wrong, angie! and oh my gosh, your BUNNIES! beautiful ginger bunnies! i dunno, i'm tempted to say one should be named jorts after jorts the cat -- especially if one of them is, perhaps, a little goofier than the others
Always fun and I look forward to seeing what you do. My picks for names: Belle, Sweetpea, Tootsie, Chipper, Dale, Françoise, Pepper, Doris, Topper, Cosmo, Scooter, Babe, Tater, Robbie, Lady, and Benny.
I love your channel! I love your speaking voice, your humor and honesty❣️ I learn so much from you and am in awe of some of the challenging pieces you take on….please keep doing you…you are a great teacher, furniture flipper/ refinisher🌟 Like you said you didn’t intend for the channel to be educational so to speak but the fact that you are including those details are gold…..to I believe new and more experienced folks who watch….because like you said there is not only one way to do things….thank you for sharing all you do!😊kim
Your videos are great! I look forward to watching any content you put out…..the pieces you refinish are always beautiful and even though I’m not a flipper I can usually pick up tips that I can use in the everyday care of my furniture. For instance, I’ve ordered Odies oil to freshen some tired pieces I have. So thanks for including us and sharing what you know. You’re very easy to listen to and I’m extremely happy I stumbled upon your channel. 👍♥️👏🏻
Thanks for watching! I'm sitting here laughing at my ridiculous thumbnail, which looks like I want to fight but am a little scared, hahahaha! In all seriousness though, these are just some things I wanted to point out so that you don't make the same mistakes I did!
I am a newbie at this and I think I found just the right person to learn from. Thank you for all you do!
I’m still trying to learn how to edit lol 😂 never mind a thumbnail! Good job Angie! Glad to see bunnies got a forever home.
@@anaschulz8084 Same here. Just took the plunge and started in on my first piece, solid oak dresser with LOTS of problems!
@@anaschulz8084 you really did! She is the best!
😅🤣😂 You just made me laugh so hard! I was not thinking that at all about the thumbnail!
Name the bunnies after your tools. DeWalt, Brushy, Odie, Teak, Walnut, General (finishes), Clamp…🥰 I could go on! Love how your channel is growing!
"Mistakes make new learning. " A quote/motto I had in my classroom. Embrace you mistakes don't be embarrassed by them. Teach them to others so they may learn. Love this video and your message.
That's right. Mistakes are part of the learning process and sometimes they are even necessary.
I had that same quote stenciled on my classroom wall!! We all make mistakes so I embraced them and encouraged my students to the same!
You show a lot of integrity by making this video, Angie. I salute you for that. Personally, I just liked watching you create those miracles again... :)
Hi Angie
I Love your methods for refinishing your pieces
I Love how spontaneous real & honest you are
Please don't change how YOU do you and how you refinish your pieces and how you film what you do
The way you do what you do is why I watch YOUR videos and not someone's else's
Love the bunnies & cats too
Raven St. Pete Florida
Angie, just look at the amazing increase in subscribers you've gained in less than a year! And most of the comments are positive, encouraging and kind. Focus on those who appreciate yours gifts, have helpful information and less on those who are not constructive or just plain rude. Who knows why some need to be rude. I look forward to each new project and have learned so much.
I love that you're so self-effacing. It's comforting to know that even the professionals make mistakes. And though you didn't intend your channel to be "instructional", I've learned so much from you that I look at other flippers and think, "No! That's not right. What are you doing?"
I learned a new word today: self-effacing 🤓
Other than that, hear, hear!
'It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.' I enjoy your videos and learn so much from watching them. You're in it for all the right reasons! I love the bunny and kitty cat intermissions. Did you notice your cat yawning in the video? So cute!
haha Willow is bored because we wouldn't let her play with the bunnies (that clip was their first night with us) yet, haha :-)
Dee,WALT, Bondo and Jig…just to stay in the theme! (Names for bunnies). Love your channel Angie and amazing work! Total fan! Love from Belgium 🇧🇪
1:13 the point IS learning! None of us are born all-knowing. Life is a learning journey, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for including us on your journey! I really appreciate your openness and honesty.
Thank you!
Love a person who can admit their mistakes! I know I want to remain teachable, always! Glad you're this kind too. I love your videos and never never speed them up so I can them over faster, like I do with some other people's. Your voice is soothing; your teaching methods excellent. And, more bunnies!
I always say, there is nothing cuter than a bunny eating. Love the bunny breaks in your videos. I have one named Hopper.
I personally, could watch your videos for hours on end. Always something new to learn from them. Thanks, Angie.
Ditto!!
I commend you for owning your mistakes and sharing with us so we can learn from them too. You should never ever be embarrassed or ashamed of making mistakes that’s how we learn! Thanks for sharing❣️
I appreciate that! It can be hard to put yourself out there, especially "these days" on the internet. haha. Thankfully, most people (like you) are amazingly supportive and I'm so thankful!
Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter! Love the bunnies, they're so sweet. Speaking of mistakes, I really worried (still am) about uploading my last video. I'm never absolutely perfect, but I tried blending clay-based paint with chalk-based & had a heck of a time getting my blend. Granted, I knew that these were going to be texture-specific, but I wanted a moody, grunge look. It was tough and I decided to upload it anyway, since it turned out as I'd hoped and it may help someone someday (or give them a laugh). Thank you for sharing these!!!
I work at a Restore, and started to refinish pieces in 2020. I tell everyone who comes in looking for a piece "but it's the wrong color" about your channel. I even sit and watch the videos with them. You've helped me sell ALOT of furniture. And your why I've fallen in love with mixed painted and stained pieces.
Aw that’s so cool! Thanks for sharing that!
BUNNIES! 😍
Also, admitting mistakes is good. Any professional who says they never make mistakes is a fibber 😉 We learn from our own mistakes, and from the mistakes of others.
Bunnies should be John, Paul, Ringo and George! The Beatles of course!
Thank you for this video! I am entirely learning from experimentation and RUclips videos (not the best maybe "but it's what I've got" 😁). So I appreciate anyone who can say this is wrong and this is why...
Rescue bunnies 🐰🐰🐰🐰. Flopsie , Mopsie, Cottontail and Peter? I really enjoy watching your furniture rescues, too!
I think you should name them, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme! Great video and much love from Lower Sackville!
Your design choices are tasteful, simple, and appropriate for the piece. I also like how candid you are about making mistakes.
Even high-end pro woodworkers know how important it is to recover from mistakes. Kudos on the safety bit. You could really benefit from a nice bench with a vise, a table saw and router table. Keep up the great work!
Actually, after those original videos were filmed, I did get a table saw! And a miter saw. :-) I’m going to be making a work table soon. :-) Little bits at a time!
It's a mark of someone with integrity and a great work ethic to be able to share mistakes, so that others can learn from them too. It also gives others the push they need to try their hand at something they've always wanted to do, but perhaps were afraid to. Nothing in life is perfect. On a different note, the new "baby" bunnies are adorable. I lost one of my bunnies unexpectedly just after xmas, so it's been really hard, but seeing these jumbo baby cuties really warmed my heart.
Aww I’m sorry for your loss. The littlest creatures take up so much room in the heart. ❤️
Your channel continues to be the RUclips gold standard, demonstrating your skills and showcasing your genius vision of the finished furniture.
Wow, thank you!
Perfect timing as I messed up my final coat of poly on a small table. I have stripped, sanded and re-stained-ready to reapply 😬. I want it to look like it deserves.
I love that you are showing not just mistakes- but also talk about safety- and other options for repair. You seem to take it with good humour as well.
That’s what I love most about you and your channel. You always recognize and admit your mistakes so we can all learn from them. Thank you for your honesty. Not all channels are like that!
This video just showed up on my weekend’s binge, and it reinforces my belief in your ethical professionalism.

Thank you so much Deb! I've come to really look forward to your thoughtful and well articulated comments. ❤️
Hey Angie, thank you so much for sharing this. Who knew this stuff? I really appreciate your willingness to share ‘mistakes’ (lessons learned), so that as a newbie I can learn and avoid having to learn the hard way :)
I don’t understand some people. Mistakes are important for learning. Never be ashamed at making mistakes.

Love the bunnies. I live in Florida and get to see little bunny a lot. So cute! They are very fearless as they have learned that we are a safe community.
❤ Shirley
Thanks for watching!
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme! THE BUNNY NAMES! Yes???? I love them--and you!
I thought Parsiful...
Gosh, I love watching you and learning. To me, its amazing how much knowledge I have about about wood and refinishing pieces because of you.So thank you so much!!! Please don't stop
Thank you so much, Sue! I have lots more to come :-)
I love every project you do! Also your sweetness, calmness in explaining; you are an excellent teacher!
You know what? We all learn from our mistakes. We all make them. And, hopefully, we grow, from them. They make us better at what we do. You are an amazing person and I always look forward to your videos.
Names just popped in my head. LOL Munch, Crunch, Bunch and Punch. It was that close up of them eating. Love your bunnies.
It takes a big person to admit a mistake. And mistakes lead to learning. You are great at what you do. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks.
0:36 -- Holy crickets, that's the most beautiful refinish I've ever seen in my LIFE. Seriously, my jaw DROPPED at this.
I have to say that you have a very different vision than I in terms of what looks good, but every single time it comes to the reveal, your idea is completely vindicated.

You are such an amazing furniture artist that I am in awe of your skills! What you call a mistake, I would call a blip!! Those things you identified as a mistake, are done routinely in most other videos of this genre! Thank you for your integrity!
You are my favorite furniture makeover person. I have learned a lot from you. I don't flip furniture but find or buy secondhand all of my furniture.
Bravo for owning your mistakes and explaining them so we all can learn. The take-home messages for me here are "measure twice, cut once." And "safety first," even if it takes a few extra minutes. Thank you. (I also vote for Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme for the rescue bunnies. 🐰🐰🐰🐰)

That table you added the chair to is one of my faves. The things people say...
Admitting that you make mistakes is far better than pretending that you are perfect.
The last piece in this video is so beautiful; painting the hardware black was a great idea!
Oooh, la la!
Thank you very much!
Love when someone keeps it real!!
You can't truly learn if you don't make mistakes. I appreciate your candor, your light heartedness, and your obvious talent. You have a great eye and it's fun to see how you transform these pieces!
Love that you point out your mistakes and welcome tips from others. Great video, still my absolute favorite channel to watch.
Hello Angie, I wanted to send a quick message to say thank you to you! I've watched many, many (! ) of your videos and love the transformations you create from furniture you rescue, not to mention all the techniques you've taught me. Your pet's cameos are a great additions to your videos, too! Thanks again, Angie!
I’ve learned so much from you, Angie. My neighbor turned me on to your channel. We talk about the things that we learned from you. Thanks for your forthright, kind delivery.
Thank you for taking your viewers into consideration! Truly, I enjoy watching your work ~ so very much ~ please keep being kind ~ as well as being appropriate, it also becomes you ~ courage! And onto more furniture battles, hopefully with enjoyment attached!
Thanks for watching!
Love that navy blue on the first piece!!! Exactly what I’ve been looking for!!! 💙
Thank you for your transparency! Appreciate the thoughtfulness it takes to put together a mistakes video!! Good learning material for us all for sure!
Thanks for sharing these mistakes with us so that we can try to avoid them. I've learned so much from watching your videos! You have a lovely way of explaining what you do. Love your new foster bunnies. I bunny sat three bunnies for my friend while she was on holiday and now I'm hooked... I'm thinking of adopting a pair in the future as well!
You are a natural!! Your steps and beginning to end result is fab!
The patch on the teakwood desk was great!! I think a dowel patch might have worked too if you have a large one . I used dowels in several dresser drawer hardware holes that are difficult for me to find now. Never mind the comments above. I watched on and see you addressed the dowel issue.

I'm so glad! Thanks so much for watching!
You my dear are a Master! Idk what you say! Your overall artistic design of a finished piece and your methods of getting the results are quite impressive for this old gal! You inspire me to get into a woodworking class. I’ve always been intimidated by power tools which causes me to never go after any broken pieces. Anyway love your artistry!!!
Thank you for sharing your lessons learned, Angie. It’s very encouraging and reinforces that mastery is a lifelong journey. The bunnies are adorbs.
Mistake or no, I love! that dresser at the end! Honestly, I did love every piece here, but the vibes from that end are incredible!
Will never be done with you fixing up dressers! Whatever you do is valuable. Thank you for showing us your mistakes to save us ❤️
I love your tenacity. No matter the thought, time and effort you have to put into a piece, you always see it through to the end. (And the end is always perfect and amazing). You are also a great teacher. I've learned so much from watching you. Thank you!!
Accidents happen.. Cabinet/furniture maker for 38 years..occasionally I get complacent ( cocky lol ) and make mistakes.. well done! You do awesome work!!!
Great video! Mistakes are sometimes the best teachers, and sometimes you get a "happy mistake" that takes you in a whole other direction 😊 Thanks for sharing!
A million compliments can be tarnished by one pompous person. Love your videos!
Very interesting! The last piece BEFORE you refinished it-I seriously had a visceral reaction to how gross & fakey the plasticy coating was!! I absolutely cannot even believe it has been REBORN to such a stunning piece in the end.
Anyone who hasn't messed up a DIY project, raise your hand....... (Hummm, nothing seen here!) Just as I thought, Angie, we are all guilty of oopsing now and then.

Aw, thank you so much for this!
Thank you Angie ! This last dresser was one of my all time favorites !! Thanks again for showing your "mistakes" so maybe we won't make the same ones, but others hahaha.
I love everything you do and showing us your mistakes makes it even better! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for all the tips. If you don’t show yours, others can’t learn! Keep up the good work!👍🤗
I love your before and afters of furniture that most people would just throw away. Your so talented and do such beautiful work. 😊
Aw, I appreciate that.
This was so good! I don't refinish furniture, but I just love watching your videos and learning about the mistakes is so educational. I find your voice and style super comforting. Thank you for making this, and all your videos!
I learn so much and love your work. Much appreciation. Thank you
I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Appreciate your honest approach. Thank you.
You def inspired me! Bought my first sets of carbide scrapers. No lack of pieces to work on, lol, bought several. Haven’t done in years. Time to start. Plan to try upholstery too. 😊
Hi angie x love your channel I have just sold my first flip x I'm so pleased xx thank you for all your inspiration x ❤
You’ve resurrected pieces of furniture that I would have passed over. Keep up the good work.
I'm so impressed with your attitude. I wish there were more people like you !
Man that Teak wood finish on that desk.... wow.
You get such a beautiful wood finish Everytime.
I didn't realise you were from NS! Your work has been a huge inspiration, and that you're from my home province just warms my heart that much more.
Also -- I second the Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail & Peter suggestion.
Such a different video and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. We all make mistakes and hopefully we learn from them. No one is perfect. Out of all the channels I watch on You Tube, yours is my favorite Angie. I always look so forward to a new one posted. As always, thanks for another great one. Enjoy the rest of your day! 🌞
Thank you so much for sharing your mistakes. It helps all of us that are learning. If I watch someone that just shows the “perfect” way to refinish without addressing possible issues that can come up from either the piece or my mistakes, it doesn’t really help when those situations come up. You do such beautiful work and you really share a lot of knowledge, love your videos!❤️
I absolutely adore that last one. It looks real art Deco, doesn't it? Just love the colourings you chose for it. My goodness you have some talent sweetie. Keep up the great work. Love from Oz.
Thanks again Janice!
I so appreciate your integrity and commitment to teaching best practices. Thank you! I learn something new with each video!
What a transformation that last one was! Wow! So nice. We all make mistakes or take the hard road sometimes. Ugh.. but thanks for showing us all the ways you do things. Love your channel
LOVE it all," the good the bad and the ugly" in your hands it becomes amazing!...
Thank you so much Barbara!!
You are amazing to watch. I’m learning so much from you. Love your calm & steady voice overs. 🇦🇺
Such a brave vid.
Not many would admit to not doing things the right way or even a dangerous way. You have and we can all learn from that. I’m glad you still have 10 digits, your sense of humour and your will to share your restorations with us.
Thank you so much for sharing.
You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it. And yes I thankfully still have all my digits. 🙂
This is really helpful. I would love a video like this on the hardware. How to know what is real and the best way to clean, etc. Thanks for all your videos!
Every single day I make mistakes, the difference now is I know when to walk away and when I can fix my mistakes.
I like you. Thank you for all your postings. Especially showing your errors.
I’m just starting out and find your videos educational as well as inspiring.
I’m in Naples Florida. It’s as far down on the west coast of Florida as you can go before key west.
I look forward to your next video.
Thanks for being you!!!
Diana
i love that you share the stuff that goes wrong, angie!
and oh my gosh, your BUNNIES! beautiful ginger bunnies!
i dunno, i'm tempted to say one should be named jorts after jorts the cat -- especially if one of them is, perhaps, a little goofier than the others
Always fun and I look forward to seeing what you do.
My picks for names: Belle, Sweetpea, Tootsie, Chipper, Dale, Françoise, Pepper, Doris, Topper, Cosmo, Scooter, Babe, Tater, Robbie, Lady, and Benny.
I love your channel! I love your speaking voice, your humor and honesty❣️ I learn so much from you and am in awe of some of the challenging pieces you take on….please keep doing you…you are a great teacher, furniture flipper/ refinisher🌟 Like you said you didn’t intend for the channel to be educational so to speak but the fact that you are including those details are gold…..to I believe new and more experienced folks who watch….because like you said there is not only one way to do things….thank you for sharing all you do!😊kim
Your videos are great! I look forward to watching any content you put out…..the pieces you refinish are always beautiful and even though I’m not a flipper I can usually pick up tips that I can use in the everyday care of my furniture. For instance, I’ve ordered Odies oil to freshen some tired pieces I have. So thanks for including us and sharing what you know. You’re very easy to listen to and I’m extremely happy I stumbled upon your channel. 👍♥️👏🏻
