PULLED FROM A DUMPSTER: Ultimate Trash to Treasure Dresser Restoration
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 вер 2024
- This was pulled from a trash bin; saved at the last moment! It found its way to my workroom and I'll do what I can to make sure it is ready for the next 50 years. Using oxalic acid, Mohawk markers, and Odie's Oil, I'll try to make this as good as new. Or maybe even better than new!
Sharpening my scraper blades: • Old Dresser gets an UN... (time stamp 7 minutes and 45 seconds)

The black hardware was just the right choice. Thank you for saving this piece, transforming and upgrading it.
You're very welcome! 😊
OMG! Ang!!! This piece is pure magic. You are a true artist.🎉❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
I so 100% agree! Just amazing workmanship 😊😊😊
Agree. Love this one
You are the best of them all greetings from sweden
This ended up as one of the most amazing flips. The black looks so good with the warm walnut.
Thank you so much for watching! 🙂
Doesn’t it? Perfect!
Love the black...didn't think i would on a mid-century piece
My thoughts exactly , brilliant result as always.
I truly appreciate that you are motivated to reduce landfill waste. Not everyone can bring back the beauty of a piece like this but I thank you for perfecting the art. You and @salvagedbykscott are my heroes.
Wow, thank you so much! I'm in excellent company there, Katie is amazing! ❤️
I agree wholeheartedly... I wasn't too impressed with the original design of the piece but was curious to see what you could do with it... the result was outstanding.
And, yes, Katie is so talented and wonderful to learn from and to watch!
I praise and applaud you on your ethics. We are a wasteful society and it is shameful what we throw away. To salvage and upcycle is the way forward. Less waste to pollute our treasured environment. You are leading the way Angie in a most tasteful and professional way. Congratulations! That is another stunning piece. xx
YES!! Id like to frame this comment Lyndsey! Thank you so much for saying all the things! You nailed it.
Angie this has your name/style written all over it! I never tire of your rescuing these old pieces... and making them more beautiful than they ever were. Thoroughly enjoyable! Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
I can hear beautiful sounds of joy and adulation being emitted from this outstanding piece of furniture. It’s so glad someone saved it and thank goodness it was you!
Awe, thanks so much Marilyn! ❤️
You are really gifted with those markers ! You delivered another fantastic piece !! ❤
Thank you Bobby! I'm so glad you like it! 😀
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery I do, your attention to the little details is pretty awesome ~
She really is. Those rings just disappeared.
What you do with those markers is ACTUAL magic! Love watching your work!
I'm so glad! Thank you so much for watching! 😀
Your patience and attention to detail is amazing! The black hardware definitely elevated the piece!!
Thank you so much!
Really loved this one Angie! The dresser was already gorgeous with the unique pulls and the cool inset design on the drawers, you brought this baby back to LIFE! 🙌🏾Thanks for another great video, I always learn so much!💚💚💚
You're so welcome! I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
Joy to tell you, Angie, this is my favourite UA-cam restoration to date! You made all the right choices making the grain all that it could be and then some. I was sceptical but the blackened hardware created visual harmony with the inlaid lines [also in black] and visually deepened the darkest of the walnut tones. You actually gave this piece character it hadn't yet shown - while many 'makeovers' often erase patina and character. Big hug to you.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
You’re quite literally a magician. I looked away for two seconds and turned back to see the wood go from dusty to that beautiful, healthy wood look.
Thanks so much!
It never ceases to amaze me how much depth of colour you get with Odies Oil. Painting the hardware black was a great idea.
Thank you kindly!
This dresser looks fabulous!!! I love that you kept the original drawer pulls, they do look better in black!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you very much!
Sanding gets to me, and it's nice to know I'm not the only one. Great advice about thoroughly checking for insects before loading it to bring to shop. I love your attention to detail! Very, very nice work-you certainly resurrected it for many more years.
You're definitely not the only one Andy! Thank you so much for watching!
You have worked your magic Angie, the dresser is so so beautiful. The standard of your work is second to none xx
Thanks so much Freyja!
The graining on this is stunning. It wasn’t really visible prior to your work. It looked parched and washed out. Now it’s the show stopper. Beautiful work as usual. You have such patience!!
Thanks so much Barb! 🙂
WOW! I love the sound of a thundering rainstorm.
Stunning result. Before finding your channel, I would have never thought pieces like this were worth refinishing because the factory finish covered up the beauty that was hidden underneath.
I'm so glad I could help show you Linda! Thank you so much for watching!
Beautiful work, Angie, as always. I managed to refinish our old pine coffee table, and was inspired by your aesthetic. It turned out beautifully, I am very happy with it, and grateful, as ever, that you share your artistry with us. Thank you.
You're so welcome! I bet the coffee table turned out phenomenal. Thank you so much for watching!
This piece is gorgeous. The black hardware sets it off perfectly.
Thank you very much! 😀
Wow! Stunning! I love the black hardware. It really pops against the detail on the drawer face.
Also, the lightning was so intense! Very cool to see how it lit up the yard as if it was daytime for a split second. Wishing you & yours safety & good health! 😊
Thank you so much Alisa!
Hello, Angie. I'm writing from Brazil to tell you how inspiring your work is! I usually watch your videos on Sunday nights because I feel it's a somewhat sad time of the week (I can't explain why), and by the end, I always have a smile on my face. I hope you stay safe from the wildfires. We also face significant environmental issues here, so I understand your concern. Big hug, dear. Thank you for sharing your talent. Denise
Prayers 2 U + Ur people.
You're so welcome Denise. I hope you're safe? We've had some rain so our fires are now under control thankfully.
WOW ! That piece NEVER looked that good! Amazing restoration !! Glad you are safe and what a cool light show from Mother Nature 😉
Thank you very much!
The after is so lovely and rich. The black hardware grounds the wood color and looks elegant and subtle. Beautiful work!
Thank you so much!
Not only are you a furniture artist, but you are an amazing teacher! Brilliant!
I'm so glad you're enjoying my content Jennifer! Thanks so much for watching!
That’s my favorite part too: Angie’s Finishing School!!
The storm video was amazing. I think you really took this piece to the next level. The finished piece looks more like mahogany than walnut.
Thanks so much for watching!
Another beautiful piece Angie! Fantastic save from the dumpster!😊
Thank you very much! 🙂
Oh yeah that black hardware is win 🏆 gorgeous transformation!
Loved the thunder storm footage as well thanks for sharing.
You're most welcome!
Wood is precious, all the more when we see the wildfires. We realise it. So it is a real good thing to repair, renovate and restore wood furniture first when we can. Less expensive and with a little creativity, it is easy to find a new life to the furniture. We all have these treasures in our homes. Here, very good results. Bravo 👍🏻🌹
Thank you so much for watching! 🙂
ANOTHER BRILLIANT SAVE!! Absolutely stunning and yes, the black pulls were the perfect choice! 🤩
I love them too! Thanks as always Amber. 🙂
This flip is a masterpiece. You are a true craftsman. You made all of the right choices in color and finishes. Black hardware looks superb.
Wow Sybil, thank you so much!
Angie,
I have watched your channel since the first episode! I’ve never left you a comment before , but always shoot you a 👍 I feel so compelled to say how proud I am in how much you have grown along with your channel. You have become so proficient with explaining things and I love that you share tips and tricks as so many others like to keep secrets to themselves. I’m 61 and really enjoyed my years refinishing furniture as I hate to see stuff end up in a landfill when all it needs is some tlc and elbow grease. Cudo’s to you kid, your practically perfect in every way. OBTW, I too am an artist and quilter and I would love to send a quilt your way if your interested. Color, plz❤
Carolyn, aka Corabelle
As always the piece turned out to be impressive and the presentation informative. But I also want to say that the thunderstorm was so beautiful. I know what peace and relief a thunderstorm brings when rain is badly needed. Lovely.
Oh my goodness! Quilting is serious stuff- I’m absolutely fascinated by how they all
come together. It’s so much work!! I definitely wouldn’t say no to a beautiful quilt! ❤️❤️ Thank you for the kind words- I love looking back actually at my earlier ones because I myself see so many differences in comparison with current ones. I love the journey and hope to keep improving!
Your knowledge, effort and artistry is incomparable!! Always look forward to seeing your vision turn to reality. Amazing, as always!!!!
Thank you very much! 😀
Beautiful job! I absolutely love watching your channel. I have the utmost respect for your attention to detail. Truly an artist
Thank you so much 😀
Angie, great job as ever. You are so detail oriented and I love that. You are one of the best furniture restorers on UA-cam, in my opinion. Thank you for sharing!!❤️
You are so welcome!
Love the black handles. Went perfect with the dark lines in the drawers. You are truly an artist. 😍❤️
Many thanks Jodi!
The black on the red is fabulous! Definitely the right choice. 🎉❤
Thank you so much!
Love the black. Finish looks so much warmer.
Thank you so much!
The black hardware is perfect with that dark line design carved into the wood, and the Odie's oil finish is gorgeous!
Yay! I'm so glad you like how it turned out! Thanks so much for watching!
Be proud of that grey hair! It was earned, and is a badge of wisdom!
Haha thank you! 😊
As for the sound of scrapping…I was gritting my teeth as I watched you…thank you for not having that sound as part of your video! ❤ beautiful work as always!
You're so welcome!! Some people enjoy it, but I am not one of them. 🙂
Love the new look and the black hardware looks sooo good!! You’re amazing Angie! 🥰🥰🥰
Awe, thank you Kim!
The black handles look much better! When they were chrome looking it reminded me of two pairs of scissors getting freakishly frisky! Now they look like brave abstract birds. Gorgeous finished piece. 🎉❤ 👍🏆
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Another beautiful restoration. The piece turned out more reddish than I expected; it reminded me of that cherry colonial dresser you finished with Odie's Oil -- one of my favorite transformations of yours. The black hardware looks really good against that tone. Also, the video of the thunderstorm was outstanding. So much lightning! I'm glad the rains have helped lessen some of the fire risk.
Many thanks Sarah!
Angie girl, you know you are my favorite furniture artist !! I've said in the past that MCM isnt my favorite style, however, when you are finished restoring these pieces, i am close to being a convert. I grew up in the 60s and 70s with furniture like this and it was ugly and dull. When you are finished, these pieces are rich, warm and beautiful. This was another wonderful transformation and I'm glad you went with the black hardware, its a perfect contrast with the tone of the wood. I'm so glad you and your family and animals are safe. 😊❤😊❤
Thank you so much for such an amazing comment Kim. I really appreciate that!
Angie! Couldn't you just hear the dresser saying S-C-H-L-U-R-P when you gave it a much needed drink? 😋The black gives the piece a cohesive look that is quite handsome! Love it! 🥰
Yesssss!! Thank you so much! ❤️
The black's a winner - another amazing flip!
Thank you so much Doree! 🙂
You never fail to amaze!
Awe, thanks Katie!! ❤️❤️
Love the after! Good choices. Your flips have a quality that is unmatched with most of the others; your attention to detail and refurbishing all of the piece, not just the outer surface, makes a difference. Thk u for sharing your process.
Thank YOU for watching! I'm so glad you like how it turned out. 🙂
Good tip Angie! Bed bugs are devastating and can even live in wooden furniture. I always think of the BBT episode where the guys grabbed a red upholstered chair off the sidewalk and it had a RAT living in it! The results are gorgeous!
Yikes!!! Thanks so much for watching!
I crochet. I love all the different tecniques that my works outstanding. I buy really great yarns, all natural fibers. I use a lot of time. Sometimes even months on a piece of work. It's my hobby and I love it. And then people over and over ask how long did it take. They get a kick out of my answer! But I happily provide them with thst kick!
It's a great pleasure to watch you work and listening to your words. And NOT listening to a scraber! Thank you 😃
You're very welcome!
The black hardware ties to the pattern on the drawers so they accent each other. Your thunderstorm footage was amazing!! I hope all your fur babies weren't freaked out by the flashing and noise.
The cats could care less about a storm, the buns get a little edgy but no one is terrified thankfully. Thank you so much for watching!
I love the warm rich color and the pulls are perfect.
Beautiful job.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful job as always. But your work with the markers to hide the stains is amazing! If I tried that, it would like like a neon sign saying, "look at me!" You are an artist. Glad the fires didn't get to you and that rain happened.
Thank you! Cheers!
Watching you do the grain touch-up is magic to me. You are amazingly skilled and talented in the way you restore these pieces. I’m glad you are all safe from the fires and the rain is very good news.🌸
We are definitely incredibly grateful for the rain, likely more than some of us ever have been. I'm thrilled you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for watching Deborah! ❤️
So, so beautiful! I admit to being pleasantly surprised how much I like the black hardware, it really is perfect. (My space-saving heart is still screaming about those drawers, though. Why the heck would anyone waste that space?!) Thanks for the wonderful video, as always!
Design is a funny thing sometimes! Thank you so much for watching!
Natcho is a lucky cat! Best condo in the morthen hemisphere! ❤
Awe, thank you! 😃
I am with you all the way Angie. The black gives that piece an updated look while keeping all the things we love about MCM furniture. Another hone run!
Thank you so much Kathleen! 😀
I love it, it is gorgeous! Black was definitely the right call! You are amazingly talented, I love watching and listening and learning why and how you do repairs. Thanks for great content and saving these pieces from the trash
You're so welcome! I'm so glad you're enjoying my pieces!
Beautiful with the black! Great choice. Wonderful piece. So glad the worst seems to be over with the wildfires. I am learning a lot from you. Thank you for taking the time to share your efforts.
You're so welcome! I'm so glad I can help!
What a dramatic improvement to the dresser! Loved what you did with the whole piece, even the hardware. Glad that you are all safe, that video of the lightning and thunder was amazing. Take good care.
Thank you so much for watching!
Gorgeous as usual! Definitely the black hardware. So glad you got the much needed rain.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful! Love the black hardware. Love a good thunderstorm. Thanks for “lighting up” my Sunday afternoon.
You're most welcome!
This looks so good! And the handles in black looks much better, more modern. Love that you pointed out how much furniture is thrown out. We need a big change in all countries, we can't throw away stuff like we now are doing. Love your videos.
I agree with you completely Emma! We need to do more to preserve the resources we've already used and stop acting like there's a bottomless reserve of them. Thank you so much for watching! 🙂
It wasn’t obvious before, but once you refinished it, the veneer on the drawers have a continuous grain pattern that start at the center and radiates out. It looks stunning now. Great job!
Yes it does - that's why I tried to replace as little of the veneer as possible, to maintain that pattern. Thank you kindly!
You give so much pleasure doing your restorations. It is a privilege to watch an artisan at work. You make it look so easy - the mark of a true craftsman.
Thanks and greetings from Melbourne Australia.
You're very welcome John! I'm so glad you're enjoying my content!
Much better now with the black pulls. You are a true artist!
Thank you very much!
A magnificent job, they have restored this piece of furniture respecting the wood. I am tired of seeing wonderful furniture painted and losing all the charm and nobility of the wood. Congratulations!
Some things should definitely be restored. But much like modern day designers, olden day designers sometimes got things wrong. Or the items were not taken care of properly and are destroyed. Or just aren’t practical anymore and end up in landfills. Being useful, for me, sometimes trumps being fully restored. So I consider each piece individually, rather than the idea that every single piece of mediocre furniture needs restoration.
I started watching this channel a little over a year ago. I get content fatigue easily, usually, but I have not grown tired of this channel at all. Moreover, you have shown me reasons to love mid century furniture. I'm usually a French provincial and art deco gal. Love this channel and the soothing way you present it, I'll be here as long as you have stuff to show!
Wow Alessandra! I am honoured you haven't tired of my content yet, I'll definitely keep releasing content. Thank you so much for watching!
My jaw actually dropped at the reveal. This. Is. GORGEOUS. You worked some amazing magic to give this ugly duckling such a beautiful dark makeover! The wood looks nourished and healthy instead of dry and worn out, and the black hardware is the perfect touch. Great job!
Very glad to hear the wildfires are beginning to back down. We had smoke from the Quebec fires and also some local wildfires in New Jersey last week and it was really bad. Hoping the fires are eventually completely contained and you all stay safe
Thank you kindly Robin!
Hi Angie!! It’s been a while since I’ve watched your channel. Had some awful health challenges this first half of the year, but I’m definitely on the mend! And I’m so so happy I got to watch you in action again! Watching you color out those stains in the top was absolutely magical! You ARE a TRUE MASTER! And I’m just so in awe of you!
Gorgeous gorgeous turnout once again! To me, you are a the best!! Love you girl!❤️😍❤️😍
Welcome back Michelle! I'm so sorry to hear about your health issues, I hope you're on the mend now?! Thank you so much for watching!
Oh it’s stunning. Definitely the black hardware was the right choice.
Thank you kindly!
You were right to choose the black hardware. It looks very elegant. You really are an artist.
Thank you kindly! 🙂
Thank you Angie! I learn so much from you with every video! I just restored two mid-century dressers and can see all of my mistakes but my client loves them and I know how to improve next time. You’re awesome, kind, smart and an excellent teacher. Please keep sharing your gifts!😊
I definitely will Patty! Thank you so much for watching and I'm so happy you're enjoying my content.
The black pulls are perfect for this piece.
I'm so glad you like them! Thank you so much for watching!
Glad you went with black hardware! I would love to see the faces of former owners (of any of your projects) with before + after pictures.
Many thanks for the final run down on the products you have used.
Thank you so much for watching!
Bunny money...I liked that!! I hope the rescue made a bushel full of 'bunny money'!! 🐇🐰🐇
Haha thanks!! 🐰
Black was definitely the right choice!
Thank you kindly!
Every time I think you can’t amaze me more ,,,,,,you amaze me more ! Crazy talent .
Thank you so much for your kind words Wanda! I really appreciate that!
I love that you refinish & repair, not just paint over. Such artistry and craftsmanship, in a traditional sense of the words.
I do a lot of full restorations but sometimes a bit of paint on lesser quality wood (and especially plastic laminate coated wood, or Formica) can keep something structurally sound from being tossed just because it’s a bit rough or dated cosmetically. But I like to restore certain woods whenever possible. 🙂
Never has the crack of thunder been a more welcome and comforting sound than when it heralded the dousing of the fires!
Especially when the accompanying lightning doesn't start any additional fires! 🙂
That lightening footage was beautiful and scary.
I loved what you did with this piece of furniture. The black handles looked great!
Thank you so much!
I'm so glad the voting ended for black hardware because in my head, seeing the piece now, those sharp black lines were begging for it. This is a rockstar drawer - no gold hardware would be as nice and fitting, and it also went great with the warm tone of the veneer. Great job!!
Thank you so much!! 🙂
WOW! I love the black hardware. Just beautiful!!
Thank you! 😀
I like the black hardware on this piece. Beautiful job Angie!
Many thanks! 😀
Black for the WIN!❤ great decision 😊
Thank you so much for the feedback! Much appreciated!
I love thunderstorms!!! The lightning is like nature's fireworks. Its a good thing there was rain, otherwise that lightning could have made the wildfires worse.
That was my fear during the storm, that we'd get strikes that would start more fires. That's the last thing we need! Thanks so much for watching!
🥰 I love it!! It is a beautiful piece!! The transformation is amazing 💜.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
The black hardware is perfect!
Thank you so much!
This dresser is gorgeous! Love the hardware being painted black. It will sell quickly! 👍👏✨
It's already gone. 😀 Thanks so much for watching!
Wow! She's a beauty! Appreciate you skill and commitment to our environment.
Thank you so much for watching! 🙂
This peece made me smile, it is absolutely gorgeos. I'm with you on the black handles, love it. I think that the former owners wouldn't have thrown this out if they had known it could look this fabulous.
I agree with you Ingrid! I think a lot of the times people just don't understand the possibilities. Thanks so much for watching!
You had refurbished this piece to its glory and I just love the walnut with the black. If everyone knew this can be done to furniture, we will still have more vintage furniture around today.
We would. Even now Mary, there are tons of pieces that get tossed daily. And that is terribly sad. We need to protect our resources better. Thanks so much for watching!
The original drawers are pretty, but I absolutely love the new look. It updates the piece without changing it too much.
Don’t sweat the greys. Your hair is beautiful.
Thank you very much Shirley! 😊
Absolutely gorgeous as always ❤❤❤
Thank you very much!
you have new music! I love the refinish. the black hardware is on point and the walnut veneer is just gorgeous
Thanks so much for watching Tonja!
Simply elegant, as always! ❤
Thank you! 😊
The new finish and black hardware are a huge improvement. Thank you for your efforts to reduce the landfills! That just makes the beauty you create that much more special.
You're so welcome! I'm so happy to be able to do my part, and hopefully inspire others to do the same. Thank you so much for watching!
