This Vintage Bar Cabinet had the WORST Refinishing Job I've Ever Seen
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- This little bar cabinet I thought was going to be an easy(ish) flip, but it ended up taking DAYS longer than expected. I had some significant damage to repair from a prior refinishing and it wasn't looking very promising. I even wanted to give up at one point.
But I'm glad I stuck it out.

Brass castors would look nice. :) Cute piece.
I considered that as well. Probably would suit better. I was just trying to use what I already had, where I overpaid for the piece and then spent a week redoing it. Haha. But yes, I was picturing those little round ones. :-)
Actually… now that I’m thinking about it again- I might actually switch them out! Then I can keep my expensive industrial ones. Lol
And smaller. what a miraculous delight
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery I like the industrial castors, but can see how the brass could look cute. Either way, you have a fun piece and did an amazing job restoring it!
Yup agreed on brass castors !! And seriously you need to keep it because its understated, elegant and one of a kind.
Missed you. You're still RUclips's best furniture restorer.
Wow Colleen! Thank you so much!
It is really good content, you might like Modern Makover as well as Meine Mechanic (theres an English and a German spelling, go for the German one)
Showed this to my retired 93 year old dad who was a carpenter from the ages of 16 to 80 and, he was extremely impressed on how you took this old, almost beyond repairable cabinet and brought it back to life! He throughly enjoyed your video and I will be showing him a lot more! Thank you! ❤
Oh I'm thrilled to hear that! Thank you so much for watching and for sharing it with him! ❤️
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery No, thank you for bringing him joy in watching your videos!
16 to 18!! And here I am nearly 16 and I'm watching RUclips, lol
How precious
That's not a refinish, that's a resurrection. Amazing job.
Awe, thank you!
You are my favorite furniture refinishing channel to watch. Always looking forward to your videos. Amazing talent!❤
Yay! Thank you!
I know, right? Her talent, patience and dedication is superb.
Same!❤
Same
My favorite too. Love the calm atmosphere and lack of dominant talk.😊
This is an amazing save of a piece of furniture that many would have tossed in the trash. You are so good at what you do! I’m glad you were able to get some vacation time and now feel refreshed. Welcome back!
Thank you Dianna! It's very good to be back. I missed everyone. ❤️
You’re a magician! A hard-working, skilled, professional magician! Incredible.
Wow Barb! Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that.
I have never refinished a piece of furniture in my life and even I was offended at how this cabinet was treated! A marvelous save you pulled here.
It was definitely put through the wringer! Thank you so much for watching!
There is so much furniture like this or even nicer that people don't even bother to save in our throwaway culture. Wish we had a million like you! Great as always.
Exactly - why did we ever stop redoing/fixing items and just started buying new everything?? It's awful! Thanks for watching!
The care and attention you show to pieces is admirable. Anyone who buys these pieces from you is gaining the work of an artist. Blown away by your skill and your patience!
Thank you so much for watching!
So much work, but it's as if that little cabinet was almost crying with relief at the end over how beautiful you made it look. Its spirit was restored. I've said it before, I'll say it again - you're the wood whisperer.
And I've said it before and likely will again - you leave the nicest comments. Thank you, so much!
Omg this transformation is one of your best yet. So happy you were able to save this little wine cabinet. It's so inspiring. Now I might not pass by a rough piece. I learn so much from your channel.
I'm so glad! I love that people are taking this knowledge and redoing their own pieces. Amazing.
I have been using stain pens a number of years and i’m so happy to see you using your finger to even it out and touch it up because I have always use them that way and I see a lot of other flippers who take less time, they just color in with it like I felt tip marker and they don’t rub it in properly. I learned so much from watching you. Thank you for confirming that I have been doing it the right way.
Thanks so much for watching Diana!
So glad you got a good vacation. You make everything better. And your music choices are impeccable.
I agree about the music! I love Angie’s choice of music.
Thank you so much!! I'm glad you like it.
Well, if this one doesn't demonstrate your patience, experience, and skill, then I don't know what would. Beautiful!
Thank you kindly!
You are insanely meticulous and so focused on doing the very best for each piece that you bring in for transformations. I wish I had had your patience when I was doing refinishing so many years ago. You are so passionate about your work so keep it up and giving your audience inspiration!
Wow, thank you!
Delightful! Not only do I enjoy watching your work, admire your skill, and delight in your humor, I probably enjoy the beautiful organization of your revised workshop too much! 😅
Thank you very much!
Glad you’re back as well Angie. Missed you. You totally SAVED this piece. Looks fantastic my dear. Hope you are well rested and ready to make lots more videos for us, your fans!!!🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much!
I continue to be amazed by your skill of restoring a piece that most would have junked. You outdid yourself 1000 times over on this one!
Thank you so much for watching Deanna!
What a massive transformation!! Your knowledge and attention to detail inspire me! I think this little cabinet needed just about everything you had in your shop to bring it back to life lol but your patience and the extra time spent was what truly made this piece beautiful again..Glad you didn't give up. Thanks for sharing with us
You're so welcome Josh! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for watching! 😊
You always take something that looks like it should be in the trash and make it look like high end furniture. Bravo! So stunning.
Thank you kindly!
Angie, I must say I love your videos. The care and quality work that goes into your pieces is bloody amazing.
I love that you talk through your process during the whole video instead of ‘and now I’m adding top coat for extra protection’ followed by long silences or just music. You explain your process and the reasoning behind your choices. Love it.
You’ve got such a soothing voice, I also find myself putting on older videos of yours that I’ve seen a billion times to fall asleep to. Hope that’s not creepy 🤦🏼♀️🫢😂
Not at all creepy! You're not the first subscriber to confess that exact thing to me, and I'm thrilled to be able to assist. I know sleep issues and if something works, use it!! I'm glad you enjoy my content and thank you so much for watching - awake OR asleep. 😉
I watch old videos before I sleep as well. So dam relaxing.
I do that too! So relaxing 🥰
I watch Angie instead of meditating because... it just works better for me! I LOVE her voice!
I don’t have an ounce of talent in furniture refinishing. I do find it relaxing to watch your videos. You pass on great tidbits to people who share your talents. Thanks for educating me. The music you’ve chosen to accompany your videos is great.
You're so welcome Brenda, I'm so happy I can help. Thanks so much for watching and I'm glad you're enjoying my content. 😊
Yet another incredible transformation from basically hopeless to an amazing work of art. I love this channel so much and appreciate the details you share throughout your process.
Thank you very much!
It doesn't matter which piece you refurbished, it's always a great time we spend watching your vid's. Good job.
Thank you kindly Mary!
You made this piece look better and more expensive than when it was new. It was a budget piece back in the past. You made it more than it was.❤
Wow, thank you!
Beautiful!! Your vacation looked amazing!
Love watching you and listening to your voice. You have a very nice voice😊
Thank you so much!
Another Miracle performed! Really a super job!
Thank you kindly!
Wonderful transformation, the technique on the brass handles was amazing too!
Thank you so much for watching Cori!
You are a fantastic restorer!! All of your projects turn out so beautifully, AND thanks for showing and explaining all of your repairs. You have been such an inspiration for me. I am now repairing and restoring furniture also! I'm 73 years old with a satisfying new hobby! Keep putting out these fantastic videos!!!!!!
I absolutely will!! I am beyond thrilled to hear you've started doing pieces for yourself - I cannot love that enough!
I am so happy you posted! I’ve missed your videos! And this is the reason why. Great video showing what you’re doing so I learn something every time I watch and an unbelievable transformation. So beautiful!
Thanks so much for watching Kay! Don't forget to stay informed on channel happenings on the Community tab. 😊
Please, you’re killing me. LOL! Another amazing job. You actually have me considering sanding and refinishing my 1959 kitchen cabinets. They’re made with a very simple solid wood frame and have beveled plywood doors and no hardware. Some missing bits of veneer and minor water damage around the sink. Please keep doing what you do. Truly inspiring.
I'm so glad I can inspire you Thomas! Thanks so much for watching!
So happy for you, that you finally got a vacation! You did a fabulous job on the furniture. I think I would have painted the whole thing. Congratulations!
Thank you very much!
You have inspired me to build something like this for my nephew for his new apartment in HFX
I love that! Thanks for watching!
Holy crap! talk about a transformation. Transcend Furniture is right, this piece is transcendental. Masterful work
Thanks so much for watching! 😊
This had to be so hard. So many repairs, and as always so well done. This video is the perfect example or the saying, "you can never have to many clamps"! Amazing job.
Thank you so much!
Your work never ceases to amaze me!!! 👏🏻
You truly saved this from the trash, it’s beautiful now
Thank you so much! 😊
Awesome piece. You made it look so easy lol. Love your cameo of you wife and fur baby. I love your heart Angie you are a blessing to us all.
Awe, thank you Penny! I really appreciate that!
Oh my! That transformation was just amazing. The handles made the piece. Your patience and artistry are perfection!
Thank you very much!
Welcome back. Glad you had your needed holiday. Thank you for having the patience to do and film this. I never find it too long to watch, on the contrary.. Such skilled work, and so worth it. Thank you for bringing these trashed pieces of furniture back to life.
You're so welcome! I'm so glad you like how it turned out!
That went from a piece of junk to a piece of art! Totally unbelievable, ur attention to detail is like no other refinisher I've even seen.ive watched all of ur videos(at least once) and I'm always amazed!
Thank you so much Vincent! I really appreciate that!
I know what I like to see is the process.that you do with these videos.not just showing hey it’s done.without any explanation. You tell how it was done.appreciate that
I'm glad to help. Thanks so much for watching!
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery you’re welcome
Angie, you’ve done it again! This sad little cabinet has had a Cinderella transformation. It, is going to the ball. Such patience and perseverance. My heart sank when I saw so much damage to the veneer. I truly doubted that you would be able restore it. I love how you were able to polish out the scratches on the brass handles. Love the shape of them by the way. I learned so much; thank you.🫡
I'm very happy to hear that Emily. I'm glad it was helpful. 😊
Absolutely gorgeous ❤️ The love you have for what you do truly comes out in all your transformations. Happy you and the fam were able to get away and reboot. That would be a dream vacation for me 😊
It was pretty amazing! Thanks for watching!
Hello beautiful lady! So glad to see you working on making this piece fantastic.
Hi Kat!! So glad to be doing it. Thanks so much for watching! 😊
Your focus on detail is remarkable. In my opinion, it is what sets you apart as an artisan. Seems to me that no matter what you select to restore, the art and requirement to do the best you can ensures that you restore with taste.
Thank you so much!
This was not only a great save but a great lesson in life. We are given challenges and we can throw up our hands and give in to defeat or we can dig in and take charge. Great probelm solving, improvising, creativity, versatility, and patience. Great save!!!
Thank you so much!
I'm glad you had a good vacation, nice to have you back. I think that little cabinet turned out amazing!
Many thanks!
I love your channel and your work. When I was in my teens, my dad bought a wood hull boat. The painter (his name was Harry) in the boat yard took me under his wing and schooled me in the art of refinishing the transom. It is an art and also a labor of love just like when you restore your pieces. I found that I had a talent for it, so much so, that people actually commented on how beautiful it turned out. That set me up with a passion for restoring wood furniture. I don’t do it professionally, as you do, but I’ve done quite a few pieces over the years. You are an inspiration! 😊
Awe, thank you so much for that! 😀
Been following you for about 2-3 years now and I have to say, it never seizes to amaze me the attention to detail and care that you put with every piece that you work on! I follow a lot of furniture restorers, and you are way up there with the best! 😍
Thank you very much!
love your channel. alot of hard work went into this piece. i wouldn't have the patience like you. it looks simply MARVELOUS. can't wait for another episode.😃
Thank you so much for watching!
What a great result.
Thank you very much!
Thank you for giving this piece the loving attention it needed.
My pleasure!
Welcome back Angie! An amazing job! Could not believe all the scratches😮 but you pulled it off once again! Always learn something with every video!
It's really nice to be back! Thanks for watching! 😊
I just knew it was going to turn out amazing!!!! Some projects are such labors of love you can't let them go!! What a gem this one is.
Thanks so much!
I would have a real hard time giving that piece up. It def has vintage vibes and is happily showing them off.
I think it's a very cool piece. Still undecided but we all know which way I'm leaning! 😉
I'm tea total and I would have trouble giving it up! I'd be stocking my diet coke in style😅
Your attention to detail, along with your knowledge of the different kinds of wood, the appropriate types of finish to use on the various pieces you bring bring back to life, and the knowledge of how to repair these pieces, is absolutely amazing and so impressive. Your work is stunning.
Thank you very much! 🙂
WAY COOL that someone sent you all those veneer scraps! Just goes to show you how much we ALL love, admire and adore you and your work Angie!
P.s. Just started back to work. Hopefully one of these days soon I can send you something as well. ❤️❤️❤️
Wow Angie, you made it look beautiful, you complain that it took you a week, it would have taken me 6 months and still not look anywhere near your creation. So glad you got your holiday at long last, not only a change of scene but also a change of culture, the 3 of you look to be having a great adventure. Take care cheers!!!🥰💕👌👍👍👏
Thanks so much for watching Frances!
I missed you. Your trip sounds fabulous. Glad to see Andrea’s dad come along. Some experiences need to be shared. I’ve always wanted to find one of those cocktail cabinets and I don’t even drink liquor. It came out great! So much patience and skill. ❤
Her Dad is so much fun, it was great having him a long. ❤️ Thank you so much for watching!
It’s a beautiful piece!
I will never understand why people let such gorgeous wood case goods go to ruin.
Great job as always.
Thank you so much!
Amazing skills you have. Beautiful workmanship. Pleasure to watch.
I'm so glad you like it! Thanks so much for watching!
I know you think painting is often a last resort but I actually love seeing pieces that are both painted and refinished. I love the contrast and uniqueness of such pieces. As always, your work is beyond excellent and everything you do is a work of art!!
Painting is a last resort for me for some pieces, not all. Some wood should be restored if it can be. Thanks so much for watching!
Your Bar Cart turned out great. Your choices were spot-on. Excellent job!!🎉
Thanks so much! 😊
I always love watching you work absolute magic with the toner pens to fill in missing grain. It's a real talent, even if it's not one you want to have to use.
Thank you very much for watching!
WOW...Once again, you pulled a piece back from the brink of oblivion. Your patience and expertise...not to mention your love of old furniture really is astonishing. So inspirational just watching your process. Glad you had a beautiful getaway. Well deserved!
Wow James, thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words. 😊
If I hadn’t seen the process with my own eyes I might say you’re fibbing!! That’s an amazing transformation ! Bravo 👏🏽
Thanks for watching!
Masterful work!!!
Thank you very much!
Not sure how you don’t have more subs… kinda baffling to me
Over the months of watching your vids, you’ve helped me restore an old wardrobe and my wife loves it. Neither of us can believe that it turned out as well as it did, and I wouldn’t have been able to do that without this channel. So big thanks lol
Oh I gain subscribers daily. It's taken a massive leap in the last year and I've only had my channel for a couple of years now. It just takes time for people to hear about me. 😊 Thanks for watching!
An amazing rescue! The end result is really beautiful. You continue to grow as a video maker. You're ability to tell a story through video continues to improve. The music throughout was a nice touch. I'm really looking forward to your next video.
Thank you very much!
You amaze me at what you can do with trash. Great!!!!
I'm so glad you like it! Thanks for watching!
Happy to see you back. This piece was awful and you spent a week on it to turn it into something lovely. You are so considerate of future refinishers who might want to change it up. And thank you for always showing us what products you are using and for leaving the text overlays on the screen for long enough for us to read them. It sounds like your holiday was the refreshing break you needed.
Thank you so much! Also, just an FYI but all of my videos contain a full list of items and products used, along with links for purchase, in the description. Just click on the Show More... and a full list will pop up for you.
A sheet of smokey glass for the top shelf would be a nice finisher!!
Lovely job.
That's what I did. ruclips.net/video/cSXEKfPv2QM/видео.html at the 0:43 timestamp.
Incredible transformation! Angie, you continue to up the bar on each project. This piece is soooo beautiful now. It was a very sad piece before. And thanks for sharing some lovely shots of your trip. 😊
You're so welcome, it was an incredible trip. I missed everyone though and it's good to be back.
@Transcend Furniture Gallery we love you girl! Glad you're back and refreshed.
Outstanding! You did a great job undoing the poor work done before you got it!
Your work is amazing
Thank you so much 😀
I am always in awe of your talent. This is another example.....just beautiful. I learn so much from your videos. Glad you had a wonderful get away to recharge. Welcome back.
You're so welcome, I'm so glad I can help! Thanks for watching!
Beautifully done!
Thank you!
Welcome back! I'm glad you had a good vacation. This may have been a bear of a job to come home to, but you made a great success of it.
Thank you so much!
You have to keep this!
We'll see! Thanks so much Jeanie!
Yes, that's what I was thinking! She has to keep it!!
Your artistic ability to blend in where the veneer was sanded through is amazing! Thank you for sharing!
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Yay second comment. Love this channel. Especially love your "REALLY cheap" refinishing video of that cabinet from a couple months ago. Rewatched it again and again. You used that eucalyptus paint and bondo to fill that broken corner, the missing edge banding, and the tracks for the doors - and paid $7 for it, I think. Rewatched it again and again. Also love the segment of you playing with your cat, and how you donated it to a charity-type thing.
I'm so glad you liked it and my channel. Thanks so much for watching!
You are an amazingly dedicated craftswoman! I would have had a nice bonfire with that piece. But a miracle was indeed delivered. Excellent result.
Thank you so much!
I think your choice to paint the interior and wall paper the back was a good idea. It looks great!!!
Thanks so much! 😊
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery I know it's a year later, but Opal House is a Target brand. You usually find it in the college/young adult decor.
WOW for something that was dead u brought it back life just amazing and beautiful. X
Thank you so much!
I love this look! You’re one of my favorite restoration accounts. I consistently love the finishes you choose 👏🏻👏🏻
FYI, the wallpaper is a Target brand here in the US, not sure if you guys have it up there!
We did for a time and that's likely where this came from. The person I purchased it from likely got it on clearance when our Target stores were closing. Thanks for watching!
I'm amazed that you managed to bring this piece back to life. Some really creative lateral thinking to solve unique problems.
Thank you so much for watching! 😀
You're Soo good!! I love your work.
Thank you so much!
that bar looks so happy once you were done.
like a lost puppy that found its forever home!
Thank you kindly!
I love your attention and choice of coloring to the handles. Gorgeous glow and a perfect description - “soft brass.”
Thank you very much! 😊
❤
😊 Thanks for watching!
Thank you!! For sharing your knowledge
Welcome back, you were definitely missed. Another beautiful refurbished work of art!
Thanks so much Bev!
Welcome back and welcome back safe and sound. We sure did miss our Ang! This was well worth the wait. You are the best at what we see on furniture restorations. You’re my fav 🥰 I know if I re did this piece I wouldn’t be able to sell it. Beautiful work Angie.
Awww thanks Jodi! It's nice to be back, really feeling the love!! ❤️
As a preservationist as well, I greatly appreciate the way you consider the impact to the next refinisher. It’s takes longer and adds little to resale value but shows your artistry. New to the channel so I’m trying to catch up on older vids.
Thank you so much for watching! I appreciate your comment. 😊
The wallpaper in the back is perfect. That poor little cabinet came out so nice!
Thank you very much!
Wow...amazing rescue. I learn so much watching you revive these pieces.
I'm so glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!
When I saw that you uploaded a video, I grabbed a glass of wine and hit play. Once again you didn’t disappoint, a beautiful piece.
Thank you very much!
Love the music you use on your videos, your soft voice keep me calm... And of course, your work with the furniture is elegant, balance, and beautiful. ❤
Thank you so much!
You are a joy to watch; your enthusiasm and considered expertise are refreshing to us all.
Thank you for the new life you've given this cabinet. 😊
You're so welcome! 😊
I love the pride and passion you put into all you projects.
Thank you kindly!
