This cheap looking (but not ACTUALLY cheap... at ALL) office furniture is everywhere! Thrift stores, online marketplaces, yard sales... We all need it. But not all of us love the look of it. In this video, I'll be creating a totally custom and unique version of a FB marketplace two drawer filing cabinet for our office/studio. We have a lot of warm tones in the room, including a lot of walnut, so I wanted something to work WITH the darker wood while having a lighter look overall.

It was SOOOOOOO lovely to finally technically meet your partner, other than the occasional elbow or shoe! She seems like an amazing person. So you and bunnies with her and Nacho... the perfect calm chaotic household! LOL Oh... and the file cabinet is amazing too. As always! Thank you so much for being you.
And muffin
As Anthea said Muffin is here too, as are Willow and Willie Hatfield. 4 cats total. 😺 Thanks so much for watching Carmen!
You never cease to amaze. You took a snooze fest of a filing cabinet and made a gorgeous upgrade. Well done!!
Thank you so much Alison!
Best comment Ive read all day. LOL And it's also true.
The way you finished it makes it look almost like luggage. Love the texture and I’m with you Angie, i love the natural look of wood.. the light and the dark. Actually was drawn to your channel because i saw how much you respect the wood, whatever sort it is and how you highlight it’s natural beauty! Great job!!
I thought the same thing! A few of the possibly handle/trim arrangements REALLY made it look like that. Too funny!
It really does look like a high end piece of luggage from the 1920s. Trans Atlantic journey on board a luxurious ship to start a European tour.
I renovated a small bookcase that belonged to my grandmother. It was painted red and I removed all the paint. It was so beautiful that I decided to just sand and wax. It looked beautiful and I felt great. lol Good vibes and Namaste!!
That's amazing! I love hearing stories like that.
Good Lord, Angie. You're not a painter...you're a magician! That turned out absolutely stunning. You blow.me.away every week.
Thank you so much 😀
Excellent job! Couldn't have come at a better time either! I'm currently sitting in my office, and am looking at my filing cabinet. It's perfect for my needs, but it's ugly. I needed inspiration, and girl, as usual, you delivered! Thank you for that, and the laughs from the silly clips!
I'm so glad I could lighten your day Melissa, and glad I could help you with some ideas for your filing cabinet. Thanks for watching!
I came here to leave that same comment!
@@stephaniemaloney4324 too funny! Good luck with your redo!
That is absolutely gorgeous! 😍
Your lovely channel is my go-to Sunday evening oasis of calm - thank you so much for the wonderful work you do. 💕 Never underestimate how much you help our collective mental health here on UA-cam 🙂
Hi, I haven't thought that way about my use of UA-cam before, but you're absolutely spot on. At least when it comes to me. I follow many channels here but I seem to be drawn to the the more low key ones. Like I have a milliner, a sawist that is also a great designer, two different live aboard sailing channels one in the Arctic the other one in the tropics, and a wonderfully low-key upcycler of furniture on life support, among others.
Now that you've mentioned it, I can clearly see how they all fit in with my mood and the dents and dings life hands you. Thank you so much for putting that way of thinking where I could see it. Yours, Ann
@@annlidslot8212 Thank you!! ☺️💕
I agree. This channel totally helps my mental health.
😮 I’m an art teacher in Texas- I’ve been using the 2-part epoxy on my students’ broken ceramic pieces. I brought it home to repair a cast aluminum sculpture I made two decades ago. Every time I use the 2 part one comes out faster than the other. I JUST put it together and it’s sitting outside curing!!!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who deals with that and epoxy! Thanks so much for watching!
That is the best looking file cabinet I've ever seen. You're so creative! You look at it, say it needs something and you delivered. Great job recreating and transforming an ugly piece into a beauty that could be used in any room.
Thank you kindly!
Forgot to mention - your short about the cost of primer was sooooo 😊good!
Limitless talent. Unbelievable result making something beautiful out of nothing. I even liked at the end setting the clock to 10:10 , the happy face on the dial.
Thank you so much Jeffrey! 😊
That was such a fun project. A little wood really raises the bar.
Thanks so much for watching!
Absolutely lovely!! What an excellent choice for rescuing that sad cabinet! I totally agree with you, I really love the natural grain in wood, and I love the contrast. I think it makes it so interesting and it's so naturally beautiful. 👍🌞 It went from an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan 👏👏
Thank you so much for watching Maryann!
Love it. I know it was a lot of work, but I love the simple beauty of it. I never miss one of your videos. I don't always comment, but you are one of my favorite flippers.
Thank you so much Anna, I'm glad you like how it turned out!
It went from old boring to modern and stunning so well. You're remarkably good at this.
Thank you so much for watching!
Best looking file cabinet I have ever seen! Sleek and crisp look. Love it 💗😊👍
Thank you kindly!
With you, there is no such thing as a cheesy piece of furniture. This could have been an ugly duckling challenge. You took file cabinets to a new level. Glad you added the texture on the front face.
Thanks for watching Debbie!
A quality locksmith is able to take the lock unit, along with the number code etched into it, and manufacture new keys for the file cabinet. My experience with doing this was not expensive (here in the USA).
Thanks for showing us how to give furniture new lives. 🙂
Thanks so much for watching!
I have to admit, I didn't think you could do anything outstanding with this file cabinet. I was obviously wrong. It is spectacular. Congratulations!
Wow, thanks!
Good morning, afternoon or evening to everyone. Special Hi to our fav Angie.
Hi!! I'm glad you made it to watch!
What an attractive way to revitalize this piece. It’s lovely Angie, as always love this channel
Thank you so much!
So impressive once again! I always know that even if something isn't to my style, that it will still be beautiful and stunning after you've worked on it.
Thank you so much!
It's beautiful, never would have guessed the before cabinet could look like this.
Thanks for watching!
The music sounds like it should be accompanying a montage of you preparing to fight your final duel at the O.K. Corral.
😆 Thank you for that mental image - I laughed out loud!
Wow. Girl you are amazing. Loved the music. Loved your filter/ humor. Loved the end results. I can’t tell you how much I look forward to your post. Truly beautiful and unique ❤️👍🏼🇺🇸
Thanks so much Jodi, as always, for watching and your kind words! I look forward to your comments! 😊
Amazing transformation! The wood elements and this elegant warm shade of white color upgrade the piece. I love that you made curved edges on the wood slides ... they look high end! Thanks so much for sharing. It's funny that Nacho inspects without stepping on the the fresh painted surface.... it's all about odors... he understands it's something new!
Thanks so much for watching!
As usual, he made it look better than it did, when it was new. Marvelous, darling, simply marvelous.
I'm not sure who he is? I'm Angie and I'm female. 😊 Thanks for watching!
Hi Angie and Andrea and of course Nacho, you three in your various roles have created an awesome piece of furniture, I loved how Nacho carefully placed his feet while inspecting your work, you three make a great team cheers!!🥰😺💕👍
Thank you so much!
You do magic Angie - love the subtle texture! ⭐️
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching! 😊
Another great transformation.
And it's absolutely nuts how prices on paints and lacquers etc have gone up.
Instead of painting my house I'm just gonna sell it.
It's CRAZY how much they've increased. Seriously. I know most everything has but certain things have more than doubled and there's no rhyme or reason to it. Thanks for watching and I'm sorry you're dealing with the increased costs as well.
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery . I was only joking about selling my house due to paint costs ,but I wanted some lacquer for a project and just started laughing when I saw the increase ,,, amazing.
And hey,,, if your epoxy gets a little stiff and you have the time, just put it in a glass of warm/hot tap water for a few minutes and it'll come back to normal.
You two girls are adorable together!❤
Thank you so much Linda. 😊❤️
I can physically feel the stress leave my shoulders when I watch your videos. Thank you for being such an encouragement and inspiration by sharing your projects!
You are so welcome! I'm so glad I can help, stress SUCKS. Thank you so much for watching!
This really came out nice. I will be watching this video again and again. I have a dresser in my son's room that we were thinking about tossing because it is getting loose, and starting to lean. I think I will try to fix it and maybe refinish it just a little first. Thank you for the inspiration , and the nudge in what will hopefully be the right direction to fixing this instead of adding to the landfill!
I'm very glad to hear that! I love saving pieces from the landfill, I'm happy I could help. Thanks so much for watching!
Angie! You have such a steady hand! I like the storage cabinet you and Andrea created. Good thing Nacho put his (paw print) stamp of approval on the project! His coat color looks good with walnut, doesn't it? 🐱😊💓😸
His graining looks amazing with walnut. 😉 Thanks so much for watching!
Every video I say… this is your best and then you go and outdo your self. This piece turned out fantastic!!!
Thank you, I really appreciate that!
I just love the way your imagination works 🙀
Thank you so much Tony!
What a great transformation as always, Angie! So nice to see Andrea hamming it up, and shop cat Nacho of course :)
So glad you enjoyed it Pam! Thanks for watching!
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery always love your content ! So thrilled to see the crazy success of your business :)
Angie!! What a beautiful result. Loved the wood trim and the texture!! As always a pleasure to watch
Thanks so much! 😊
Wow! Angie it looks ever so posh. Hats off to you; you’ve truly turned trash into treasure once again. Brilliant.
Thanks so much 😊
You can make even a boring kabinett beautiful. Your fantasy I’d like to have!
Great work as always Angie! I’m sure it will look wonderful in your office. I worked in offices with this type of furniture in the late 90s and 2000s and I happen to love that colour, so if I were buying that file cabinet for myself I would have just repaired it and enjoyed the red!
Thank you! Yes, it matches very well with all the walnut and warm colours of my space. I totally get that some people will still prefer it the way it was. :-) This one was a bit scratched up for my liking though!
If you make sure that the lid is on super tight that no moisture can get in and you take your epoxy tube thing and stick it in a bowl full of hot water for about 5 minutes or so. Pull it out dry it off then remove your cap you'll see that the white side moves so much better. I've had that happen multiple times. It happens when you don't use the entire tube within the first few days of initially opening the product.
Thank you! I’ll try that!
At the risk of sounding like a broken record…….amazing! You never disappoint.
Thank you very much!
That looks absolutely gorgeous! I can tell you enjoyed working on this. It looks like you and Andrea were having a good time, and that is so special! Glad Nacho approved the project. I do like the texture on the drawers, and the walnut looks so beautiful! Wonderfully done! Take care!
Thanks so much for watching Racheal! I'm glad you like how it turned out. 😊
Another beautiful piece. Great job❤
Thank you! 😊
You are an amazing artist it's always nice to see you do such beautiful works of art
Thank you very much!
I'm completely addicted to your videos. Show the insides of the drawers! It's amazing what you've done with some of these.
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
The walnut and warm white are a match made in heaven, the texture is a stroke of genius, what a wonderful transformation😻😻😻
Thank you very much! 😊
Wow...I'm so impressed! You did a great job!
Thank you so much!
Your creativity is inspiring! I can't get over how you keep doing another transformation that most of us would never have thought of. ❤
Thanks for watching!
This video is a perfect summary of the reasons why I like so much watching your work. You are a true craftswoman. Highly creative, a bit of a perfectionist, not shy to go the extra mile to get the complete result you have in mind. Yet humble in your approach, always willing to give a furniture a second chance and what a chance: being at last a fine piece!
Personally, I don’t mind the slight « imperfections » in the videos, they enhance this craftsmanship way of yours. As do the cats!
We are lucky that you share your work so openly. Thank you for this. And a big cheers from Europe!
You're so very welcome! I'm thrilled you're enjoying my content and my helpers (😉).
This transformation is amazing! Who knew a mundane piece like that could look both elegant and unique?
Thanks for watching!
What a good idea to add the texture! Such a small thing that made a big impact. As always, I love it!! ❤
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching! 😊
I really enjoyed that project. So many ideas in one package, that makes a mundane piece of furniture pop! Great job. Well done. 👍🏻
Thanks so much for watching Kevin!
I loved your silly clip. I feel the same every time I go to the grocery. The cabinet looks amazing. The fact that your texture lines aren't perfect is fabulous. Gives it that hand crafted look. You rock Angie.
Oh I won't even touch the grocery topic. The price of everything is absolutely sky rocketing. I'm so glad you like how this piece turned out. Thanks for watching!
watching this channel has inspired me to finally follow my sapphic destiny: to fix household items
Yay! I'm so happy to inspire you. Thank you so much for watching!
Wonderful transformation 😻❤️
Thank you so much!! ❤️
And the coincidence is: two days ago I just purchased a filing cabinet to do over so I could ditch the metal one with the painted walnut (?) pretend grain. Mine is pressed board with oak veneer. And my office walls are green too. You started from scratch with literally pieces and now it’s a masterpiece of artistic design. Looks too good to keep hidden away in an office but it’s so much nicer to work in a space that’s quiet and organized with appealing furniture, a comfortable chair and good lighting. It’s really lovely.
It's so much nicer working when you surround yourself with things you like and suit your taste. Thanks so much for watching and all the best with your piece!
I love it when you do something different and "out of the box". You are so creative! This looks amazing!
Thank you very much!
Your little filter commentary on the cost of primer was hilarious! Love the final result!
I'm glad you enjoyed that! 😃 Thank you kindly!
I must have been having a time change hallucination. When you got to the part where you said you didn't want all that plain white on the front, I imagined that you were going to use some sort of flowered wallpaper on the front panels! Aargh! Thank you for remaining true to your excellent taste. It looks great!
Thanks for sticking it out and seeing where I was going with it!
How clever to take a boring file cabinet and turn it into a beautiful piece of furniture. You elevated the lowly file cabinet into a statement piece.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it! 😊
I love the final results. I refer to that look as the "tuxedo look". Thanks for sharing.
Great name for it, I like it! Thanks for watching!
I really love what did with the cabinet!!!❤❤❤ I'm also a fan of wood grain and the different shades... I may have to try this out for one of our cabinets that hubby swears he still needs!!! BTW, your wife is quite lovely and it was fun to see her helping you out with this!!! 🙂
Thanks for watching!
VAST improvement!!! Love the subtle texture. Kudos.
Thank you so much for watching!
Great redesign! Looks so much better than the original. I have a supervisor just like Nacho. Same color and attitude! He has to know everything that we are doing and wants to know what makes everything tick.
Oh they're fantastic aren't they?? So inquisitive and involved in EVERYTHING. Thanks for watching! 😺
I have so many "Ikea" type furniture. It's nice to know that we can do something nice with it ☺️
I'm so glad to give you some ideas! I have a few videos up where I redo mass produced pieces. Thanks for watching!
Fabulous. There are many furniture flippers, but you, Angie, go above and beyond every time. Your work is amazing.
Thanks for watching!
Such a high end, classy look. Also…. Timmies❣️ 😄
Yes to Timmies!! 🍵❤️Thanks so much for watching!
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery 💖
Holy Cow! WOW! This looks like a completely different cabinet. You're like a magician! Well done, You!
Thank you very much!
Soooo relatable when the wood dropped on the ground.
And the finished product is lovely! Great work yet again!
Thank you! Cheers!
You're very talented and appreciate your channel!!
Thank you so much!
Wow! I love this! Amazing is the correct descriptor. Prettiest filing cabinet I’ve ever seen. 😍
Thanks so much! 😊
B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L!!! You could even see the textured part from straight on! Wild about the Walnut!!!
Thanks so much for watching!
Amazing transformation! No one would ever know it’s a filing cabinet. You always make it happen.
Thanks so much for watching and your kind words, much appreciated!
I don't know who is a more adorable shop assistant, Andrea or Nacho. Your videos are always so informative and fun and a great watch while I am on my exercise bike in the evening.
I'm going to have to go with equally adorable! I'm so glad you're enjoying my content Lynn. Thanks so much for watching!
Wow. Incredible. Looks fantastic 👌
Thank you so much 👍
Seriously, you are one of the most talented furniture refinishers.
Wow, thank you so much!
You have such an unerring eye for design! You are so creative and talented. Very nice job!
Thank you so much Janice!
I can hardly believe my eyes!!! Amazing!!!
Thank you so much!
Those files are very lucky to have such a beautiful new home!
Nacho coordinates with the cabinet, too.
He was very clear that he had to! 😉Thanks so much for watching!
12:10 That was ADORABLE!!!! 🤣🤣🤣😝 No apology necessary. 😍
I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😍 Thanks for watching!
Wow! what a transformation. Love the dark wood details. Finally get to see Andrea (maybe I have missed her reveal before😉). And…thanks for the funny face clip. Made me smile.
I'm so glad I could make you smile Laurie! Thanks for watching!
I was amazed at how this turned out! I couldn't believe what a difference that little bit of texture made. Another stunner!
Thanks so much Amber!
Wow, you've done it again. Sow's ear meet silk purse!!
Thank you! 😊
I love recycled office furniture... This made my heart sing 🙂
I'm so glad! Thanks so much for watching!
Ok, your voice is so soothing and young…your ideas are spot on…the texturing wouldn’t be as beautiful if it had been perfectly even…you are so talented! Fantastic redo!
Thank you very much!
You and flipping drawers are my fav restorers on UA-cam. What a great transformation. I think cashmere is one of my favorite from fusion. Y'all have a good week!
As you were showing the finished filing cabinet, I was saying out loud.."OH, how pretty, oh, how pretty". I love your walking us through the steps of what you're doing and why. I've learned soooo much by watching your channel. I'm never disappointed ❤❤❤
Thank you so much Sue! I really appreciate that!
We are living in London, in the house that used to belong to my in-laws. I think we're going to be here for a long time, we're really enjoying it.
That was a relaxing half hour with handy tips and a great result, as always. Greetings from the Netherlands
Thanks so much for watching!
Never would I have envisioned this outcome, but it's hands-down stunning. My first thought was that it's a white tuxedo. You did a fantastic job, as you always do. Thank you for another invitation to your workshop and a visit with Sir Nacho. Cheers from Oklahoma!!!
Thank you so much!
Nacho’s front paws are so cute
I agree completely. 😊😺
The walnut really elevates this piece. My brother is a contractor in Northern California, he uses a lot of reclaimed redwood.
Thank you so much for watching!
Wow was not expecting this to look so good! Nice job reimagining how a boring red filing cabinet could look! Great Job!
I'm so glad you like how it turned out! 😊
What a wonderful result👍
Thanks so much!
A beautiful addition to your office! ❤
Thanks so much!
You are seriously skilled at repairs and restoration, but your artistic talent and vision is what sets you apart--absolutely incredible. I love watching you work almost as much as I love your reveals!
Wow, thank you!
I love the walnut accents. You would never know this was the same cabinet. Your are very talented.
Thank you so much!
Another amazing flip. Love the nacho cameo he's such an awesome little dude. Your wife is lovely and you seem to have fun when you work together that's awesome. Keep living your best life Angie.
Thanks so much!
