These are ten exquisite examples of Angie's extraordinary knowledge, experience, talent, and attention to detail. There are many many more. Her abilities and insights are the ultimate in crafts-person-ship, and she has a magical way of salvaging even the worst pieces, all with uncanny grace, because she really cares. This is extremely rare these days and a joy to see. Live long, Angie, and may you continue to enjoy your work and achievements in good health and harmony. And, May the Bunnies be with You, and the Quality Control Manager always approve your decisions.
Although I am not really big on mid-century style, I am amazed by what you do with the furniture you save and turn into incredible artwork. You have an amazing amount of knowledge. Beautiful work!
Beautiful,I would love to buy one of your pieces?lDo you sell your work?How can I find you? Please let me know if any of your pieces are fore sales! Thank you so much
It is so fun to go back and see your beautiful work from 2021. Looking forward to seeing the 2022 compilation next month. Can you believe how fast these two years flew by?! I hope you are mending well, I give you such props for your physical strength in your line of work! Well done, Angie! Have a very Merry Christmas and continued blessings in 2023. My best to Andrea, Nacho, and the bunnies. 🥰
This was like a Christmas present for me! I loved it!! I kept remarking to myself,” Oh yeah! That’s the piece that smelled like smoke!” Or, “That’s the piece that gave me the chills in a BAD WAY in it’s BEFORE state!” Angie, this was fantastic!! You are so gifted, so detailed, and truly bring out the best, the beauty within, of each of the pieces. You also teach so well. There is a cost/ benefit equation you are constantly balancing given this is your JOB, which I respect so much. Also, you put allll the mansplainers to shame as you transport the piece that, “won’t fit” into your vehicle 😜 Ok, that last part is a perhaps, a fringe benefit…. Brava!!!!
The chunky pine dresser is my favorite, because that's when I became a true believer in your talents. I remember watching the beginning of the original video and thinking, "Ugh! That thing's fugly! NO WAY is she going to make it look good!" I was absolutely gobsmacked at how beautifully it came out. I look forward to your best of 2022 and can't wait to see your new content for 2023. Happy holidays -- stay warm!
Angie, you touch all these pieces the way I handle my pets and even my grandbabies. I can see your love of what you do and what you work on in the loving gentle way you handle even the most needy pieces before and while you work on them. These pieces get the same gentle care at every step as your finished pieces.
I really like the way you stage pieces, but I especially liked the way you staged the chess table. It shows the possibilities of using it as a chess table, with a nice chess set displayed on it, while simultaneously showing the possibility of other uses.
I honestly don't think I could pick a favorite. Everything you do just turns out so classy and beautiful. I'm not just saying that. I mean it wholeheartedly. I started watching your channel from the post you had about identifying the different woods. I was widowed in 2021 after 50 years of marriage. I need something that will occupy my time and I have in my possession our ash bedroom set from the 80s. His mother's maple bedroom set from the 40s, two outdated, dinged up china cabinets, my mother's coffee table, three living room nesting tables and my grandmother's leather topped drum table. All of these need desperate help and that is my motivation. I know I need to start out small and work up if I prove to have any abilities at all, but watching and learning from you gives me hope. So don't ask me to pick a favorite. I love them all!
First - I'm so sorry for your loss Jan. 50 years! ❤️It sounds like you have tons of pieces to work with, like you said start small and work your way up. Be patient and gentle with yourself too - there's a lot to learn and absorb. I'm so glad you love them all! Thank you so much for always watching and always having such kind things to say. I appreciate you!
Just wanted to let you know, you are a true craftsman. I have tried many other flipping channels, and most don’t compare to you at all! They just do a quick clean and paint. You actually restore furniture. So for what it’s worth congratulations, you would have my vote for best flipping channel!
Your attention to detail and vision for how a piece can be transformed is second to none. It may seem a funny choice, but I think I liked the chess table best because - to me - it was the most unlikely thing to choose to purchase to flip. It turned out so well! All of these are amazing.
I’m a smoker however, I do not smoke in my home because I don’t want it to smell like cigarette or any other smoke. Your work is outstanding keep up the great job, Not Offended.😊
these compilations reveal what those of us who follow the channel already know: you are crazy talented, not to mention hardworking! hope you're enjoying a well-deserved break with Andrea and Nacho and all the bunnies!
You are a great artist! I commented before that I'm a survival of brain surgery and was in a coma and very blessed here I am! And I work, I'm an engineer but suffer from cronical pain, and I put your videos because sometimes it's the only thing I can tolerate! I'm so thankful to you!!!
You have such an eye for knowing exactly what finish to use on these pieces. I remember the second chunky dresser very well because it inspired a piece of my own. It was a beautiful - in it’s day - hand carved oak sideboard but had been in storage and damaged in a couple of house moves. After watching your video l knew exactly what to do with it and l love the way it turned out. Everyone comments on it! It’s a big thumbs up from me! 😊
Oh thank you! I'm so glad I was able to inspire you to restore a piece! Kudos to you for taking it on, I bet it looks stunning. Thanks so much for watching!
I have never been drawn to painted furniture, but I am really growing to the like her combinations of rich, red wood with black accents. The dresser dated August 2021 reminds me of a dapper fellow in a black tuxedo with gold bowtie!
Love your work on all of these, but my two favorites are: #1, the heavy, dark and dated pine dresser (second to last in the video)--stunning transformation from a piece practically no one would want to something that many would love. Number two on the favorites list from 2021 is the last entry, the bubbled laminate dresser, also dark and dated, miraculously transformed into light and bright and modern. I especially love how you can take the "cheap" pieces like laminate ones and turn them into something beautiful. You don't need an all wood piece to make something beautiful again. Thanks for compiling these--I've watched every one of them, and now I want to see them all again!
You absolutely can redo these laminate pieces into something fresh and new, I love opening people's eyes to the possibilities! Thanks so much for watching!
You have patience, love of the pieces, an artist’s eye, and are amazingly organized… no better person to learn from and be in awe of! Your do-overs say it all - gorgeous!
there hasn't been a piece that you did that I didn't like. I love them all and also love seeing them again. To you and your loved ones a very merry christmas. Stay warm and healthy and I hope we see you again with new projects in 2023.
A wonderful transformation of an ugly duckling into a swan!!! The work is wonderful, it takes a lot of time, but apparently the result is a pleasure!!! Thank you, it's a pleasure to watch!!!
I just love your thorough approach to all of your pieces. You rectify the damaged pieces with your careful sanding right into corners and edges and fill sections where needed. You are so talented with what you do. I would love to have a piece of your restored furniture, but it's a bit hard seeing as l am in Australia. Love to all my baby critters. So glad you love cats. Cheers, Janice. Merry Christmas honey.
Really tough choice, but I *think* the first one would be my favorite. But all are fabulous. I so love how you bring out those glorious wood tones and colors in your finished pieces, rather than slapping a coat of paint on everything. All of these are so beautiful finished.
Angie you have incredible talent. Continue to listen to the projects and your heart for what you do and who you serve. The neigh-sayers and critics can do all their projects in the manner that speaks to them. I have found over the years that criticism comes down to when I didn’t do something the way that they thought I should. Your dime, spend it the way you see fit. There is merit in, ‘if you can’t say something in a kind manner, be silent!’
I’m not really into restorations… I’m a new hobby woodworker with a honey-do list including a couple furniture pieces my wife wants redone….. this is the only restoration channel I’m subscribed to. Your presentation is awesome. Your personality is infectious, and I find myself jumping to your channel every now and again just to see how you do things and it is in fact….. inspiring. Keep it up, it’s much appreciated!
Those transformations were amazing! I have two favorites. 1) the chest and dresser that you painted black and left the second drawers wood grain. 2) the big pine dresser that you removed the door and put two shelves and painted creamy(?) white with a whitewashed (?) top. Those pieces looked fantastic when you were finished. The pieces got a new lease on life.
I come here when i need to zone out!!! Had to stop at the 30:++ to say how much I appreciate your videos just for that! To zone out! Love them all!! 😘✌
Your attention to detail really sets you apart. When you finish the inside of drawers, I want to cheer. Long ago, I made all my own clothes. My mother taught me to make the inside of a garment as neat as the outside, and it's a lesson to be generalized to many settings. In addition, I can imagine the new buyer checking out one of your flips and smelling the inside of the drawers. I'd gladly pay more money for furniture with that kind of TLC. Thank you for another peek into your workshop. Cheers from Oklahoma!
Angie.... Greetings from one of your best friends in Quebec. I hope all is well with nacho and the bunnies.... There hasn't been a flip you've done where I haven't taken anything away from the video and I just completed one that I absolutely love. I'm going to look to see if there's a way to post a picture on here, but it's the inspiration of the pieces that are the laminate wood combo that got me this far. Most of those Canadian pieces were manufactured in Quebec New Brunswick, Quebec, Montreal and Ottawa Gatineau are filled with them.... Thank you for showing us how to restore them. I picked one up and a bunch of people on my Facebook page told me to dump it the fire pit and I saved it ... Again, amazing videos and I'm so glad you shared!... You are quickly becoming a Canadian treasure.... The quality of your videos are fabulous and the content is amazing.....
Angie your channel is my favorite furniture repamake channel. If anything, I don’t like any other such channel because all of them do messy job. Less than that. I only watch them to criticize them in my mind how if even I did it, I could do better, let alone Angie. I would live to see somebody else do more professional job than you. So far didn’t come across anybody so meticulous to do such a perfect job as you, and with so much artistic talent and fine taste. Keep doing what you are doing please. I would watch your videos every day for my life. I even considering learning woodworking and furniture repair when I retire, if I ever retire.
I'm the worst cause I can't pick a favorite 😂😂 My four favs are the art deco, the first set of dou ke dresser, the trashed mid century and the curb rescue. And they're all a tie. And then literally everything else is a tie just under that cause I freaking love them all!
I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through! Best wishes from Nova Scotia and thank you so much for watching. I'm glad my content can give you something to focus on. 🙂
Thank you for all the hard work you put into producing these videos, it’s much appreciated. Love your wood/paint furniture, but strangely, it was the humble little chequered table that stole my heart this time. Obviously made with love. ❤ Merry Xmas! 🎄🎄
Hi Angie. I've been following your channel for a few months and I think I've about watched all of your videos now. I don't do furniture restoration (I'm a miniature figure/bust painter) and I don't watch any other restorers but I just love watching you work, i find your videos very relaxing. You are super skilled but very humble too and I like that. I can't say which was my favourite piece in today's video as they all are 'WOW!" pieces to me. I wonder if you would do me a big favour with some quick advice please? I have recently bought a laser cutter/engraver (hopefully to help pay the bills LOL) and invested in a few hundred birch ply drinks coasters for engraving. What would be my best option for finishing the coasters? I just need them to be sealed and be wipable. I hope you don't mind me asking 🙂 And thanks for sharing your videos with us.
You could use a traditional varnish or poly but they have a tendency to yellow over time. There's also epoxy but to be honest I'm not super familiar with the longevity of epoxy. Sorry I can't be of more help but sounds like a cool project! Best of luck!
I like them all but the blocky 70s piece dark green and wood was one of my favorites also the game table was awesome and the teak desk was outstanding... very classy... at first I wasn't too keen on the grey and whitewash but definitely grew on me ...
You are fabulous! Your work is fabulous! I know what you mean when you say "I could feel the dresser take a deep breath." Like an animal rescue you are a furniture rescue. Another comment is you're so diplomatic in how you talk about stinky furniture and people who take exception to that. I wouldn't want to put my clothes in a dresser where they would absorb the smell of cigarettes. No one would. No judgement on smokers. My neighbors who smoke always do so outside so their house doesn't smell. But they have no problem with the cigarette smoke coming into my house.
I cannot believe I have been watching for 2 years! Nice to see these, I so far have remembered all but one. Love the transformation of these pieces. Enjoy your Christmas holiday and thanks so much for sharing your work 😊
It is so hard to pick, but 4 stand out to my esthetics: the art deco dresser, both double dresser transformations, and the curbside wreak. They all turned out beautiful, but those four are my favorites.
My boyfriend and I enjoy watching your videos so much! They also inspire us, as to what we could possibly do to some of our own furniture. :-) The reveals are stunning and we love how much you can learn from your videos, too! We like it how you inspire people to act in a more ressource- and nature-friendly way! :-)It's also just so satisfying to watch you stripping the old lacquer off, using c 1850s. An extra bonus are the cute bunnies and Nacho!
I am blown away by how you gave these pieces a second life! My favorite was the set at 18:00, beautiful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge so creative and caring!
Angie, you're such an inspiration! I'm so glad I've been able to watch your channel grow over these past couple of years. I've gained so much knowledge from you and have been in awe of every single piece you share with us. It's so hard to pick a favorite but I'm going with the August beauty. The style of the dressers + how dramatic the black paint and wood combo turned out... stunning. I will continue to support you and the bun buns as long as I can! Just keep the Nacho cameos coming!
This was wonderful! To just watch you do your furniture magic gives me joy! These are all really amazing transformations but - if you insist on a favorite - I’m picking two. The game table because it went from a homemade piece that was clunky and awkward to an elegant stylish little table. The other is that heavy, dark, depressing pine dresser. It went from making me sad just looking at it to something truly beautiful. You are excellent at letting the furniture tell you what it really wants to be. Merry Christmas, Angie.🌸🎄🌸
Thank you so much for watching Deborah! I loved the transformations on those pieces as well. That game table!! 😊 Happy Holidays to you and yours and all the best for the New Year!
Your work is truly mesmerizing and tranquil. My favorite parts by far are watching you paint. Spray paint looks good but just the staining and painting. Holy cow Batman. Love how you're contributing to a good cause as well. Thank you for being you!
All of these were incredible flips. But the last one, it did me in! What a dramatic change! Loved it! Happy New Year Angie, Andrea, Nacho and the bunnies!
I LOVED this video!!! All of your videos are so inspiring and motivate me to refinish more pieces. My daughter jokes that some people save puppies and kittens along side the road, but I save small furniture! It's so fun. Thank you for your channel!
I just have to say you easily won me as a subscriber. I am beginning a refinishing business with a good friend and I can’t wait to replicate some quality work like you are showing and get pieces living again. So inspiring, keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for watching! Kudos to you for starting a refinishing business - we need more in this throw away world! Best of luck with all your projects. 😊
The painted white was an absolute incredible transformation!! I’d have to say that was my favorite from this video. Thanks for always doing such a great job!!
You are so gifted, I just discovered your channel and love watching your amazing skills. I discovered you because I'm trying to refinish a family table from early 1900s. It has oak veneer that is damaged and I want to repair and return it to a light oak color with no stain, so that it will look almost beachy. I live in Santa Cruz California near the ocean. I sanded most of the veneer top and it looks the way I would like it, but chose to strip one section with citrisolve which has left it slightly darker and doesn't match the rest even after trying to sand out whatever the citrisolv did. Any suggestions? Also what would the best protective finish be that wouldn't yellow or darken the wood? Thank you.
The long answer here, is as much as I would LOVE to be able to help everyone who reaches out, there sadly just aren’t enough hours in the day. There is another side to this as well- sometimes things don’t come across properly through photos and videos, and are best seen, felt, etc in person. For THIS reason, it can sometimes be difficult to accurately determine the age, finish, wood species, etc of people’s project pieces. There is also the element of user error, when recommending products and finishes, or misinterpretation of my instructions. I get, on average, approx 40+ messages per day between Instagram, FB, UA-cam, and email (and literally hundreds of questions in the comments). It is unfortunately just not possible to be able to get back to everyone. The short answer is this: you can certainly message me on Instagram and if it’s a simple answer, I may try to help you out. But PLEASE don’t take offence if I’m unable to respond! I need more hours in a day!
Angie, I love a girl who isn't afraid to get her hands in goopy stuff! Your ability to be innovative using what tools, etc. you had before acquiring fancier things is impressive. I don't have a particular favorite, but really like when the hardware smiles back at the viewer! I'm looking forward to seeing your 2022 faves! 🥰
Angie, you are so clean. I love the way you clean and de-smell all of your pieces too. I give you High Distinctions with Honours for all your work. Thankyou for showing us all your tips and tricks as well. Love to the apprentice and the foreman and the bunny-babes. Xx
I just discovered you about a month ago. I have watched many other people's furniture flipping videos as well and you are the most thorough and detail oriented that I have seen so far. I love what you do, you have truly inspired me. Thank you and please keep up the excellent work.
Ha! I only joined your channel about 3 weeks ago and I have already seen the long versions of most of these pieces! Your work is incredible Angie and it's a joy to watch your channel. Have a wonderful holiday and I wish you and your partner a healthy and happy new year!
Given what you have to work with, and with your goal to keep great older rough condition furniture out of landfill, I think you work magic. I'm inspired. I have a 1938s hall table on original casters and as I watch your work I realise I'm doing the basics of what you do on a more elite scale. The hall table is is rough condition and my only intention is to make the piece of furniture completely functional again and actually pretty. One leg was broken with major timber crack. I used wood putty and wood PVA and it solved the problem. The wheel had not been working for years and today I secured the wheel with some finagling. Next is sanding and priming before painting. But I'm tempted to wax or seal the top and paint the rest. I'll keep watching your work for ideas on how to finish it. 👍
You are amazing! I have watched many UA-cam furniture refinishers. None compare to you! So glad I found your channel! I have subscribed! I have inherited several pieces of furniture that need refinishing. Unfortunately most of the pieces have been owned by heavy smokers. I am searching for refinishing ideas and information on removing the smoke smell. Some I want to keep for my own home. I love the contrast of the wood and black! Thanks for sharing your gift and for saving the bunnies and spiders!
I have a couple of videos that tackle the very issues you're facing. One is : ua-cam.com/video/O7__ASFolAs/v-deo.html and the other is : ua-cam.com/video/Ts1vpr3L3Qw/v-deo.html Both videos contain pieces with cigarette odors! I hope these can help. Thanks so much for watching. Welcome to my channel!
Very difficult to choose all items of furniture are beautiful, I tend to lean towards natural wood so any that have the beauty of the wood restored are probably my favourites
I watch your videos and love the way every one comes out! Other "similar restorers", in my eyes, don't do such good jobs on their makeovers. I would be delighted and proud to own any of the items you transform. English subscriber...
Margie has trouble sleeping, but she thinks it was from worry about our two little ones (now parents themselves), as for me head on pillow and then it’s sunrise. 👴🏻🧑Cheers. Wilber & Margaret-from the lower 48 …
The trashed Mid Century Dresser, the smokey Double Dresser Flip & the Bubbled Laminate Tops all looked beyond help but their transformations were glorious. But really, all your videos are an inspiration. There is no way I would believe any of the pieces you sell were one step from the dump if I had not seen the videos. I also appreciate all the careful repairs. The pieces truly have a second lifetime ahead. Can't wait to see what you have in store for 2023. Merry Christmas to you & yours :)
Happy Holidays to you and yours as well! Thank you so much for watching! That was one of the reasons I started the channel - to show people the processes involved but also to show people the kind of pieces that are just being discarded when they could be made into something beautiful again. 😊
You are so talented at what you do, absolutely love all your videos, my favorite for 2021 was big chunky dresser, but Honestly I luved them all, just amazing, can’t wait to see 2022 review.
Love your tattoos, love the finished piece and hope to see the finished panels soon. And I hope Flanders feels better soon. If someone doesn't like these things its their loss.
15:08 will never stop making my jaw drop. That is the most beautiful restoration I've ever seen, and the one that convinced me to trust your authorial "voice" when you decide to paint things. I was almost militantly anti-paint-on-wood until I saw that. Whoever now owns that set is very lucky indeed.
I loved revisiting all these makeovers. The dresser at 32:35 has always been a favorite of mine; it just looks so clean and classy and beautiful. And it even *looks* like it smells good in the "after" shots! :)
I REALLY enjoy your videos. I like how you talk us through your pieces and don't even like videos where they don't do that now. lol That said, I enjoyed this one too where we could just veg on how awesomely talented you are. Ha! I'm very inspired by your work and have learned a lot listening to how you think your way through problems. Give the bunnies and kitties scritches for me.
While I love them all - I think the flip out of this list that wows me the most is the One Coat Finish! Crazy enough, it wouldn't go with anything in my home, but it really speaks to me! Your work is so amazing! I love watching your channel! I hope you have a very Merry Christmas, and a fabulous New Year!
These are ten exquisite examples of Angie's extraordinary knowledge, experience, talent, and attention to detail. There are many many more. Her abilities and insights are the ultimate in crafts-person-ship, and she has a magical way of salvaging even the worst pieces, all with uncanny grace, because she really cares. This is extremely rare these days and a joy to see. Live long, Angie, and may you continue to enjoy your work and achievements in good health and harmony. And, May the Bunnies be with You, and the Quality Control Manager always approve your decisions.
Thank you so much Connie!!! Happy Holidays to you and yours and all the best for the New Year! Thank you so much for watching and the love! 😊
I wholeheartedly second this comment. Masterful work, your passion truly shines through
Although I am not really big on mid-century style, I am amazed by what you do with the furniture you save and turn into incredible artwork. You have an amazing amount of knowledge. Beautiful work!
I know by now I sound like a broken record, but you do such a beautiful job. You are truly an artist! Thank you for sharing your gift! 👍👏
She not only can restore good pieces that have been harshly treated, she can also make ugly furniture look high end and stylish
Beautiful,I would love to buy one of your pieces?lDo you sell your work?How can I find you? Please let me know if any of your pieces are fore sales! Thank you so much
It is so fun to go back and see your beautiful work from 2021. Looking forward to seeing the 2022 compilation next month. Can you believe how fast these two years flew by?! I hope you are mending well, I give you such props for your physical strength in your line of work! Well done, Angie! Have a very Merry Christmas and continued blessings in 2023. My best to Andrea, Nacho, and the bunnies. 🥰
Time is DEFINITELY flying!! Thank you so much for your support and kind words. ❤️ 🎄
The big piece from which the central door was removed and the little gaming table are my favourites!
Thank you so much for watching! Happy Holidays! 🎄
This was like a Christmas present for me! I loved it!! I kept remarking to myself,” Oh yeah! That’s the piece that smelled like smoke!” Or, “That’s the piece that gave me the chills in a BAD WAY in it’s BEFORE state!” Angie, this was fantastic!! You are so gifted, so detailed, and truly bring out the best, the beauty within, of each of the pieces. You also teach so well. There is a cost/ benefit equation you are constantly balancing given this is your JOB, which I respect so much. Also, you put allll the mansplainers to shame as you transport the piece that, “won’t fit” into your vehicle 😜 Ok, that last part is a perhaps, a fringe benefit….
Brava!!!!
You are amazing. Have a great eye and I love all your work!!!!!
Thank you very much! 😀

Thank you so much for watching! Happy Holidays to you and yours as well!!! 🐰😺😊
Talk about "beauty for ashes" this is a perfect example (in the natural world, that is). One of my all time favorites!
Wow! Thank you so much! 😊
You are a great artist! I commented before that I'm a survival of brain surgery and was in a coma and very blessed here I am! And I work, I'm an engineer but suffer from cronical pain, and I put your videos because sometimes it's the only thing I can tolerate! I'm so thankful to you!!!
Beautiful work! And speaking for my self, thanks!❤
Oh, I'm so glad I can help - even a little bit. Thank you so much for your kind words. ❤️
You have such an eye for knowing exactly what finish to use on these pieces. I remember the second chunky dresser very well because it inspired a piece of my own.

Transcend: "to rise above or extend notably Beyond ordinary limits": "to triumph over the negative or restrictive aspects of" ... Transcend Furniture Gallery indeed!
I have never been drawn to painted furniture, but I am really growing to the like her combinations of rich, red wood with black accents. The dresser dated August 2021 reminds me of a dapper fellow in a black tuxedo with gold bowtie!
Thank you very much! I'm so glad you like them! 😀

Thanks for compiling these--I've watched every one of them, and now I want to see them all again!
You absolutely can redo these laminate pieces into something fresh and new, I love opening people's eyes to the possibilities! Thanks so much for watching!
You have patience, love of the pieces, an artist’s eye, and are amazingly organized… no better person to learn from and be in awe of! Your do-overs say it all - gorgeous!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful work, sorry I can't pick just one. Have a nice Holiday.
Happy holidays!
I loved the desk and chair, and the chess table. You are so talented and I love your work. Merry Christmas.
there hasn't been a piece that you did that I didn't like. I love them all and also love seeing them again. To you and your loved ones a very merry christmas. Stay warm and healthy and I hope we see you again with new projects in 2023.
A wonderful transformation of an ugly duckling into a swan!!! The work is wonderful, it takes a lot of time, but apparently the result is a pleasure!!! Thank you, it's a pleasure to watch!!!
Thanks so much for watching!
Loved them all. The checkers table was unbelievable. Such a small piece made a big impact.
I just love your thorough approach to all of your pieces. You rectify the damaged pieces with your careful sanding right into corners and edges and fill sections where needed. You are so talented with what you do. I would love to have a piece of your restored furniture, but it's a bit hard seeing as l am in Australia. Love to all my baby critters. So glad you love cats. Cheers, Janice. Merry Christmas honey.
Happy Holidays to you and yours Janice! I'm so glad you're enjoying my content, thank you so much for watching!
Really tough choice, but I *think* the first one would be my favorite. But all are fabulous. I so love how you bring out those glorious wood tones and colors in your finished pieces, rather than slapping a coat of paint on everything. All of these are so beautiful finished.
Thanks for watching!
I enjoy all your "transformations". They show respect for the piece but bow to practical issues where needed.
Anything with a white wash or wax over raw wood gives me happy vibes.
Dramatic indeed 😉🎄❤️
Angie you have incredible talent. Continue to listen to the projects and your heart for what you do and who you serve. The neigh-sayers and critics can do all their projects in the manner that speaks to them. I have found over the years that criticism comes down to when I didn’t do something the way that they thought I should. Your dime, spend it the way you see fit. There is merit in, ‘if you can’t say something in a kind manner, be silent!’
Thank you so much for watching and your kind words Suzy, I really appreciate them!
I am really thrilled watching all these transformation altogether. Each and every is stunning.
You made my day Angie.
Thank you so much for watching, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! 🎄
My favorite was the walnut veneer piece originally painted in a white paint and smokey-smelly. Gorgeous!
Your talent and vision is amazing ! It’s like you have an old soul, I was born in 57. Thank you
I’m not really into restorations… I’m a new hobby woodworker with a honey-do list including a couple furniture pieces my wife wants redone….. this is the only restoration channel I’m subscribed to. Your presentation is awesome. Your personality is infectious, and I find myself jumping to your channel every now and again just to see how you do things and it is in fact….. inspiring.
Keep it up, it’s much appreciated!
This is amazing! I’m hoping to expand and learn more about wood working. It’s intriguing and can only help with what I’m already doing. :-)
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery woodworking has been very fun to learn… I’m learning a ton about woodworking just by refinishing some furniture too!
It’s like asking pick your favorite child. I love the one with the beautiful flower painted on. I love them 😍 all !!!!!!!
Yay! I'm so glad to hear that! Thanks so much for watching!
The one that stands out for me was the little gaming table. You made the top of that just glow!
Those transformations were amazing! I have two favorites. 1) the chest and dresser that you painted black and left the second drawers wood grain. 2) the big pine dresser that you removed the door and put two shelves and painted creamy(?) white with a whitewashed (?) top. Those pieces looked fantastic when you were finished. The pieces got a new lease on life.
I'm so glad you like them! Thank you again for watching and leaving feedback, it is greatly appreciated! 😊
I come here when i need to zone out!!! Had to stop at the 30:++ to say how much I appreciate your videos just for that! To zone out! Love them all!! 😘✌
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
Your attention to detail really sets you apart. When you finish the inside of drawers, I want to cheer. Long ago, I made all my own clothes. My mother taught me to make the inside of a garment as neat as the outside, and it's a lesson to be generalized to many settings. In addition, I can imagine the new buyer checking out one of your flips and smelling the inside of the drawers. I'd gladly pay more money for furniture with that kind of TLC. Thank you for another peek into your workshop. Cheers from Oklahoma!
Thank you so much for watching from Oklahoma! I'm glad you're enjoying my content. 😊
Angie.... Greetings from one of your best friends in Quebec. I hope all is well with nacho and the bunnies....
There hasn't been a flip you've done where I haven't taken anything away from the video and I just completed one that I absolutely love. I'm going to look to see if there's a way to post a picture on here, but it's the inspiration of the pieces that are the laminate wood combo that got me this far.
Most of those Canadian pieces were manufactured in Quebec New Brunswick, Quebec, Montreal and Ottawa Gatineau are filled with them.... Thank you for showing us how to restore them.
I picked one up and a bunch of people on my Facebook page told me to dump it the fire pit and I saved it ... Again, amazing videos and I'm so glad you shared!...
You are quickly becoming a Canadian treasure.... The quality of your videos are fabulous and the content is amazing.....
People like you are what make this whole UA-cam experience worth it. Thank you so much for your continued support!! ❤️
Angie your channel is my favorite furniture repamake channel. If anything, I don’t like any other such channel because all of them do messy job. Less than that. I only watch them to criticize them in my mind how if even I did it, I could do better, let alone Angie. I would live to see somebody else do more professional job than you. So far didn’t come across anybody so meticulous to do such a perfect job as you, and with so much artistic talent and fine taste. Keep doing what you are doing please. I would watch your videos every day for my life. I even considering learning woodworking and furniture repair when I retire, if I ever retire.
I'm so glad you're enjoying my content! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
I'm the worst cause I can't pick a favorite 😂😂 My four favs are the art deco, the first set of dou ke dresser, the trashed mid century and the curb rescue. And they're all a tie. And then literally everything else is a tie just under that cause I freaking love them all!
Thank you so much for watching!
Loved the light colored piece, been going through breast cancer treatment and love your channel.
I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through! Best wishes from Nova Scotia and thank you so much for watching. I'm glad my content can give you something to focus on. 🙂
Thank you for all the hard work you put into producing these videos, it’s much appreciated.
Love your wood/paint furniture, but strangely, it was the humble little chequered table that stole my heart this time. Obviously made with love. ❤
Merry Xmas! 🎄🎄
Happy Holidays to you and yours Lynne! Thank you again for watching! 🎄❄️
Angie, I agree with you....any pieces that can be saved and renewed for future use is a win win. You do beautiful work
Thank you so much for watching! I'm so glad you like my work. Happy Holidays!
Can't pick a favorite... maybe the black and wood combo... it never gets old seeing that combo!!
Neither do I! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Hi Angie. I've been following your channel for a few months and I think I've about watched all of your videos now. I don't do furniture restoration (I'm a miniature figure/bust painter) and I don't watch any other restorers but I just love watching you work, i find your videos very relaxing. You are super skilled but very humble too and I like that. I can't say which was my favourite piece in today's video as they all are 'WOW!" pieces to me. I wonder if you would do me a big favour with some quick advice please? I have recently bought a laser cutter/engraver (hopefully to help pay the bills LOL) and invested in a few hundred birch ply drinks coasters for engraving. What would be my best option for finishing the coasters? I just need them to be sealed and be wipable. I hope you don't mind me asking 🙂 And thanks for sharing your videos with us.
You could use a traditional varnish or poly but they have a tendency to yellow over time. There's also epoxy but to be honest I'm not super familiar with the longevity of epoxy. Sorry I can't be of more help but sounds like a cool project! Best of luck!
I like them all but the blocky 70s piece dark green and wood was one of my favorites also the game table was awesome and the teak desk was outstanding... very classy... at first I wasn't too keen on the grey and whitewash but definitely grew on me ...
You are fabulous! Your work is fabulous! I know what you mean when you say "I could feel the dresser take a deep breath." Like an animal rescue you are a furniture rescue. Another comment is you're so diplomatic in how you talk about stinky furniture and people who take exception to that. I wouldn't want to put my clothes in a dresser where they would absorb the smell of cigarettes. No one would. No judgement on smokers. My neighbors who smoke always do so outside so their house doesn't smell. But they have no problem with the cigarette smoke coming into my house.
Thank you so much for watching! A furniture rescue, I like that! 🙂
I cannot believe I have been watching for 2 years! Nice to see these, I so far have remembered all but one. Love the transformation of these pieces. Enjoy your Christmas holiday and thanks so much for sharing your work 😊
A lot of people think they know more than they do…you are such a wealth of information. Thank you, as always for sharing your knowledge and skills!❤
You are so welcome! 🙂
Set #8 was my favorite before/after. The results were very beachy-looking and even the handles had a seagull look to them.
Thank you so much for watching! I love that set too. 🙂
It is so hard to pick, but 4 stand out to my esthetics: the art deco dresser, both double dresser transformations, and the curbside wreak. They all turned out beautiful, but those four are my favorites.
Thank you so much for watching!
My boyfriend and I enjoy watching your videos so much! They also inspire us, as to what we could possibly do to some of our own furniture. :-) The reveals are stunning and we love how much you can learn from your videos, too! We like it how you inspire people to act in a more ressource- and nature-friendly way! :-)It's also just so satisfying to watch you stripping the old lacquer off, using c 1850s. An extra bonus are the cute bunnies and Nacho!
Thank you so much for watching, I'm glad I'm inspiring you! I find it incredibly satisfying to watch the stripper do its job too. 🐰😺
I am blown away by how you gave these pieces a second life! My favorite was the set at 18:00, beautiful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge so creative and caring!
You are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching!
You are a magic designer!!!!!! Your design choices are wonderful truly perfection!!!
I really appreciate that, thank you! 😊
Angie, you're such an inspiration! I'm so glad I've been able to watch your channel grow over these past couple of years. I've gained so much knowledge from you and have been in awe of every single piece you share with us. It's so hard to pick a favorite but I'm going with the August beauty. The style of the dressers + how dramatic the black paint and wood combo turned out... stunning. I will continue to support you and the bun buns as long as I can! Just keep the Nacho cameos coming!
Lots of Nacho cameos coming up, like he'd have it any other way! 😺😆 Thank you so much for the support and for always watching!
This was wonderful! To just watch you do your furniture magic gives me joy! These are all really amazing transformations but - if you insist on a favorite - I’m picking two. The game table because it went from a homemade piece that was clunky and awkward to an elegant stylish little table. The other is that heavy, dark, depressing pine dresser. It went from making me sad just looking at it to something truly beautiful. You are excellent at letting the furniture tell you what it really wants to be. Merry Christmas, Angie.🌸🎄🌸
Thank you so much for watching Deborah! I loved the transformations on those pieces as well. That game table!! 😊 Happy Holidays to you and yours and all the best for the New Year!
Your artist’s eye NEVER fails you. I am constantly amazed!
Thank you kindly Kathy!
Your work is truly mesmerizing and tranquil. My favorite parts by far are watching you paint. Spray paint looks good but just the staining and painting. Holy cow Batman. Love how you're contributing to a good cause as well. Thank you for being you!
You're so welcome! Glad you enjoy it! 😀
I love watching you bring old junky pieces to life and appreciated.
Thank you so much!
All of these were incredible flips. But the last one, it did me in! What a dramatic change! Loved it! Happy New Year Angie, Andrea, Nacho and the bunnies!
Happy New Year to you as well! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
I loved seeing all the pieces from 2021. My favorite is the dresser that was covered in ugly white paint. What a transformation.
Thank you so much!
I LOVED this video!!! All of your videos are so inspiring and motivate me to refinish more pieces. My daughter jokes that some people save puppies and kittens along side the road, but I save small furniture! It's so fun. Thank you for your channel!
Thank you so much for watching and I'm so glad I can inspire you! Best of luck with all your future projects! 🙂
I just have to say you easily won me as a subscriber. I am beginning a refinishing business with a good friend and I can’t wait to replicate some quality work like you are showing and get pieces living again. So inspiring, keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for watching! Kudos to you for starting a refinishing business - we need more in this throw away world! Best of luck with all your projects. 😊
I love all the transforms BUT my favorite was the May dresser you rescued in the rain. I love the contrasting handles!
Thanks so much! 😊
2rd & 3rd …well all of them were my favorite lol. You have more talent in your pinky than most flippers. Well done
Thank you so much for the kind words! 😊
The painted white was an absolute incredible transformation!! I’d have to say that was my favorite from this video. Thanks for always doing such a great job!!
You are so welcome! Thank YOU for watching! 😊
This is more than talent and creativity, this is a true gift.
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words. They are appreciated. Thank you so much for watching! 🙂
My favorite was the only one I didn't remember in May 2021. Love the unusual piece and the hardware was so cool.
You are so gifted, I just discovered your channel and love watching your amazing skills. I discovered you because I'm trying to refinish a family table from early 1900s. It has oak veneer that is damaged and I want to repair and return it to a light oak color with no stain, so that it will look almost beachy. I live in Santa Cruz California near the ocean. I sanded most of the veneer top and it looks the way I would like it, but chose to strip one section with citrisolve which has left it slightly darker and doesn't match the rest even after trying to sand out whatever the citrisolv did. Any suggestions? Also what would the best protective finish be that wouldn't yellow or darken the wood? Thank you.
The long answer here, is as much as I would LOVE to be able to help everyone who reaches out, there sadly just aren’t enough hours in the day. There is another side to this as well- sometimes things don’t come across properly through photos and videos, and are best seen, felt, etc in person. For THIS reason, it can sometimes be difficult to accurately determine the age, finish, wood species, etc of people’s project pieces. There is also the element of user error, when recommending products and finishes, or misinterpretation of my instructions.
I get, on average, approx 40+ messages per day between Instagram, FB, UA-cam, and email (and literally hundreds of questions in the comments). It is unfortunately just not possible to be able to get back to everyone.
The short answer is this: you can certainly message me on Instagram and if it’s a simple answer, I may try to help you out. But PLEASE don’t take offence if I’m unable to respond! I need more hours in a day!
Angie, I love a girl who isn't afraid to get her hands in goopy stuff! Your ability to be innovative using what tools, etc. you had before acquiring fancier things is impressive. I don't have a particular favorite, but really like when the hardware smiles back at the viewer! I'm looking forward to seeing your 2022 faves! 🥰
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Angie, you are so clean. I love the way you clean and de-smell all of your pieces too. I give you High Distinctions with Honours for all your work. Thankyou for showing us all your tips and tricks as well. Love to the apprentice and the foreman and the bunny-babes. Xx
Thank you so much for watching! I'm so glad you enjoyed the pieces and my "team". 🐰😺
You are the “Furniture Whisperer”! Brovo!
Thank you so much!
I just discovered you about a month ago. I have watched many other people's furniture flipping videos as well and you are the most thorough and detail oriented that I have seen so far. I love what you do, you have truly inspired me. Thank you and please keep up the excellent work.
Wow, thank you! I'm so glad I could inspire you! Best of luck! 🙂
They're all beautiful, but I most liked the dressers from August 2021. Very masculine feeling to me. Keep up the great work. You are an inspiration!
Thank you very much! 🙂
The heavy pine piece at 33min. was my favorite also. You have come a long way since last year. It is good to look back.
Thank you very much!
Ha! I only joined your channel about 3 weeks ago and I have already seen the long versions of most of these pieces! Your work is incredible Angie and it's a joy to watch your channel. Have a wonderful holiday and I wish you and your partner a healthy and happy new year!
Given what you have to work with, and with your goal to keep great older rough condition furniture out of landfill, I think you work magic. I'm inspired. I have a 1938s hall table on original casters and as I watch your work I realise I'm doing the basics of what you do on a more elite scale. The hall table is is rough condition and my only intention is to make the piece of furniture completely functional again and actually pretty. One leg was broken with major timber crack. I used wood putty and wood PVA and it solved the problem. The wheel had not been working for years and today I secured the wheel with some finagling. Next is sanding and priming before painting. But I'm tempted to wax or seal the top and paint the rest. I'll keep watching your work for ideas on how to finish it. 👍
Thank you so much for watching! I'm glad you're getting ideas from my content! Lots more coming up. Best of luck on your restoration!
You are amazing! I have watched many UA-cam furniture refinishers. None compare to you! So glad I found your channel! I have subscribed! I have inherited several pieces of furniture that need refinishing. Unfortunately most of the pieces have been owned by heavy smokers. I am searching for refinishing ideas and information on removing the smoke smell. Some I want to keep for my own home. I love the contrast of the wood and black! Thanks for sharing your gift and for saving the bunnies and spiders!
I have a couple of videos that tackle the very issues you're facing. One is :
ua-cam.com/video/O7__ASFolAs/v-deo.html
and the other is :
ua-cam.com/video/Ts1vpr3L3Qw/v-deo.html
Both videos contain pieces with cigarette odors! I hope these can help. Thanks so much for watching. Welcome to my channel!
They were all so beautiful. I love the black and wood ones best.
Very difficult to choose all items of furniture are beautiful, I tend to lean towards natural wood so any that have the beauty of the wood restored are probably my favourites
Thanks for sharing!
Love seeing which projects you enjoyed most. I love them all! Seriously. Hard to believe all those were from 2021…can’t wait for the 2022 recap!
It's coming up soon! Thank you so much for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
I watch your videos and love the way every one comes out! Other "similar restorers", in my eyes, don't do such good jobs on their makeovers. I would be delighted and proud to own any of the items you transform. English subscriber...
Wow, thank you! I'm glad you like my pieces and are enjoying my content!
Thank you for putting this video together. My absolute favorite was the first dresser. Just stunningly beautiful. ♥️
As prolific as you are do you get much sleep? Margaret & I really are enjoying your rescues. ❤Wilber & Margaret-from the -lower 89
Honestly… sleep has always been a struggle! Lol
Margie has trouble sleeping, but she thinks it was from worry about our two little ones (now parents themselves), as for me head on pillow and then it’s sunrise. 👴🏻🧑Cheers. Wilber & Margaret-from the lower 48 …
The trashed Mid Century Dresser, the smokey Double Dresser Flip & the Bubbled Laminate Tops all looked beyond help but their transformations were glorious. But really, all your videos are an inspiration. There is no way I would believe any of the pieces you sell were one step from the dump if I had not seen the videos. I also appreciate all the careful repairs. The pieces truly have a second lifetime ahead. Can't wait to see what you have in store for 2023. Merry Christmas to you & yours :)
Happy Holidays to you and yours as well! Thank you so much for watching! That was one of the reasons I started the channel - to show people the processes involved but also to show people the kind of pieces that are just being discarded when they could be made into something beautiful again. 😊
You are so talented at what you do, absolutely love all your videos, my favorite for 2021 was big chunky dresser, but
Honestly I luved them all, just amazing, can’t wait to see 2022 review.
Thank you so much!!
Love your tattoos, love the finished piece and hope to see the finished panels soon. And I hope Flanders feels better soon. If someone doesn't like these things its their loss.
Thanks for watching!
15:08 will never stop making my jaw drop. That is the most beautiful restoration I've ever seen, and the one that convinced me to trust your authorial "voice" when you decide to paint things. I was almost militantly anti-paint-on-wood until I saw that.
Whoever now owns that set is very lucky indeed.
Wow! Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! I'm so glad you like the way that set turned out. 😊
Absolutely beautiful transformations, Angie! You have great taste IMHO. The stylistic transformations let these pieces sing. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
I loved revisiting all these makeovers. The dresser at 32:35 has always been a favorite of mine; it just looks so clean and classy and beautiful. And it even *looks* like it smells good in the "after" shots! :)
Thank you so much for watching!
I REALLY enjoy your videos. I like how you talk us through your pieces and don't even like videos where they don't do that now. lol That said, I enjoyed this one too where we could just veg on how awesomely talented you are. Ha! I'm very inspired by your work and have learned a lot listening to how you think your way through problems. Give the bunnies and kitties scritches for me.
Glad you like them! I appreciate that! Consider the bunnies and kitties scritched. 😉
While I love them all - I think the flip out of this list that wows me the most is the One Coat Finish! Crazy enough, it wouldn't go with anything in my home, but it really speaks to me! Your work is so amazing! I love watching your channel! I hope you have a very Merry Christmas, and a fabulous New Year!
You are a master!!
And the bunnies 🐰thank you...
Keep that gorgeous red in your hair!
The AUGUST set was absolutely stunning!!
Thank you so much! 🙂
