That looks fantastic! I love that instead of giving up on a piece that “wasn’t worth it” you changed direction and made her beautiful again. And your free hand drawing….just wow. As someone who LOVES getting tattoo, I wish I lived closer so you could give me some new art. Amazing creation overall.
I would absolutely love to see you working with the markers again,it's a fantastic twist to your beautiful pieces. Looking forward to seeing more of this style. Greetings from a very rainy Sweden 🇸🇪
You do more for the environment than a bunch of politicians who only talk about "carbon footprint". You do fabulous transformations on old furniture--you inspire others! Thank you!
I almost fell off my chair when you went for the markers freehand... Very bold! You have a very steady hand. I am suitably impressed, and obviously this looks amazing as usual. I can't wait for the next one!
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery😊EXCELLENTLY DONE‼️..... I live in an apt building and I see furniture in the trash always😒 I wish that I could save it, but I don't have the space, time, and enough knowledge or experience too yet🤔??? But I wish many amazing flips to you for making the most of your talents and your love for people and the planet‼️🫂 🌟It's GOLDEN🌟....I also wanted to say I know that your knowledge of what's authentic verses what's not and where it's made means a lot. But for the many who don't know much and or don't care much; do not because they probably aren't looking at their furniture for even half their lifetime🤷♀️ I say that to say the real gem is in the hands, heart, and mind of the crafter and those who appreciate their workmanship😉Remember that when you are spending time,loving, and building off of scraps and throw aways to recreate something AMAZING like you are🌻
You are the fairy godmother of unwanted furniture that piece looked so depressed and you brought it back to life anyone would be lucky to have a piece of furniture restored by you & you do not know how great your work is well I am telling you. You are Amazing! Love it.
I am astounded. I wouldn't have bothered, that dresser had so much damage to it. It definitely had been well loved. What a masterpiece you have created. One would never have guessed it's original starting point!
That piece (as bad as it was in the beginning) turned out absolutely beautiful. Your art work on the front made all the difference in the world. The color you chose was a perfect. I cannot imagine WHY this would not be a money maker when you look at the before and after. Also you made a really good point..it has lasted for 54 years and with the work you did reattaching all the pieces..it just might last for another 54 years. Great job, I enjoyed watching your work.
Just when I thought there wasn’t anything new you could do with furniture - you throw freehand art into the mix of the many talents you possess!! You’ve created such a beautiful piece once again ❤️
Yes, well said - a signature piece. For sure! Angie, you did so much with the limited condition of that dresser and your art is beautiful. Beautiful. To be honest, I was freaking out and I had to keep reminding myself you're a seasoned artist and you don't need tracing paper😜 Beautiful.
Angie, you have SUCH an incredible eye for design, on top of our amazing skills. Anyone would be very very proud to have this piece in their home! I’d pay hundreds for it without a qualm! And yes please to more marker-art. Once again, thanks for sharing your beautiful work with us. 🙂
My grandad used to restore old furniture. I haven't thought about him for ages. Thanks for the reminder. You've made this piece new again and done a gorgeous job. Definitely a great idea to incorporate your tattoo artistry into your restoration projects!
Even though this piece isn't solid wood, and you were disappointed with the overall value, you turned it into something absolutely stunning!!! I would love to own this. Great job as usual 🌼
Amazing 🤩 I cannot believe how beautiful the renovation of this dresser turned out. I would love to see you use the markers more often. Your “freehand” peony was lovely.
Someone else suggested you sign this beautiful piece of art; I agree. I would love to see you get some tiny metal signs made with something like, "Restored and refinished by (your signature)" so you can put them on every piece you do. Someday that little metal tag will increase the value of a piece many times over what it would be otherwise because your work is already known for its quality. Thank you for sharing these wonderful transformations with us.
I forgot to say that I, for one, would love to see more of your freehand drawing work on the pieces you refurbish -- it really made this piece special.
How is this dresser not a money maker?! The final reveal blew me away! It's so unique and beautiful! I would buy a furniture set with that beautiful design and attention to detail! It's so pretty 😍 you did an amazing job! 👏
Angie! As a fellow formally trained artist I was waiting for you to bring the paint back out and you did not disappoint! I love the peony design and the fact that you left the hardware slightly tarnished, you have a knack and an eye for these things. I would LOVE to see your tattoo designs on more furniture. 💚
Holy moly, Angie, you were at miracle status with this one! Here in the Southern US we call that stuff particle board because if it gets even a little wet, it turns to particles. In other words C-R-A-P! Your rehab of this, though, makes it look high end. And your artwork gives it an almost 3D depth look from the front view. I wouldn’t go too cheap on the price. It’s gorgeous!
That was absolute fantastic! It would have been a beautiful job even without the art but the art takes it to a new level. You've created a lovely and unique piece of furniture which would grace any home and you deserve every penny that it sells for.
That is awesome, Angie! Perfect piece to “experiment” on. And she’s fantastic! Look it that glow up! She needed it. I’m certain that even two years later, wherever she’s sitting now people are still talking about her, she is a statement, piece the kind you out by the front door. ❤
OMG, Angie!!! This is amazing!!! I'd buy it in a heartbeat! Yes to more illustrations on the pieces. It looks great! And it's a combination of talents that not many people have!
This piece is beautiful, Angie. I can’t believe what it looks like now. The only problem with preventing all this stuff getting into the landfill is, you are going to have to teach us to see these old pieces through your eyes. You are a wonderful artist. Take care and stay safe
SO beautiful! Every time I think you’ve shown us your best work, you come up with something entirely different and even more wonderful. Thanks for all the time you spend showing us these transformations, Angie. The drawing on this is spectacular.
Would never have believed this was possible!! It is gorgeous. Seriously - sign the back of this now one of a kind piece - your artwork has increased the value of it 10 fold to a person wanting some bragging rights. It's not like you are an unknown - being a YTer of your level does command a price in your own right.
Trash to treasure!!! Wow, it was worth the effort. This piece turned out beautifully. The markers added an elegant touch. Yes, please, more marker art!!!❤🌷❤
Wow! That certainly looks better than it ever has, what a beautiful addition your painting was. Very few people have the artistic ability to pull something like that off, on top of the careful craft you put into all your restorations. You really are the best “flipper” on UA-cam
There are lots of channels doing what you were doing on the regular basis. But this freehand art thing is something new and completely unique. You should do more of this, it is clearly your special talent.
That turned out amazing. You definitely elevated that humble piece, and I love that you took a 'trash' piece and saved it. We're all too quick to throw stuff away.
What a beautiful job you did Angie 👏 It all came together perfectly, the colour, the hardware and your fantastic tattoo skills 👌 Another piece saved from landfill for someone to appreciate . Superb Angie 💚
OhMyGoodness Angie!!! I’d be Proud to have this piece in my home!! 💚 Your vision & artistry is Amazing!!✨💫✨ I Love the freehand flower!!-Especially just the outline of the flower & leaves!!! You Absolutely Rocked this Baby!!! ❤️🌸❤️
I watched this yesterday, and was so blown away by this project that I couldn’t find the words to comment! In another time, you would have been an alchemist- you absolutely make gold from lead!!😍❤️
Angie, this was an absolutely stunning transformation! I am amazed at your vision and seeing potential in what most would deem as a piece unworthy of refinishing! I liked that you pointed out that tho cheaply made, this piece had withstood the test of time. And no doubt it will be around many more years now as a statement piece with your beautiful artwork and craftsmanship!! And yes, please do use the markers again! Keep up the great work!
I love what you did with the peonies and choice of color! You are so brave to just go in and draw freehand with no pencil beforehand. Sign of a dye-in-the-wool artist. This piece was definitely a perfect example of when to use paint on furniture.
I’m speechless, that dresser speaks volumes. Your talents have complemented each other in an elegant way. You have great vision in seeing this piece completed.
I've become hooked on these refinish videos. There are many creative refinishers who produce beautiful redos. However I haven't seen anyone who is as meticulous as you are. I so wish I lived where I could buy one of your pieces. I'm sure the fact that you are an artist contributes the the creativity of your work. Your presentation is absolutely spot on!
absolutely blown away by your artistry. the peony is stunning and I'm in awe of your steady freehand. but also your ability to imagine and breathe new life into furniture.
Holy cow, this definitely has the 'WOW FACTOR!" Outstanding job as always - and I love the new piece of artwork you did for staging! Thanks for all the hard work you do in bringing your videos to us. I have stepped up my game by watching your work (I'm already a perfectionist, lol, but now even more so). Can't wait to see what you do next! :) ♥
Wow!!! That’s gorgeous!! Yes, please incorporate more of your art! Truly a masterpiece. You’d never know unless you watched the video, just how awesome this transformation is!!
Love this! Saving pieces like this from the trash is amazing. I get accused of hoarding, but eh. I especially love the care you took in explaining your processes. Also, your peony is gorgeous. Subscribed!
Fantastic, Angie! I love the freehand work with the pens. I couldn’t agree with you more about rescuing pieces from the landfill. I often pick up pieces off the street (stoop) and give them new love fe. I’m too slow to be a flipper, but it is a meditative process for me as I contemplate giving new life to an old piece.
The art you added with the marker was the "added value" you were looking for, I think. I know I would buy it, even knowing about the awful shape it was in when you bought it. Beautiful job.
Another amazing transformation. I agree completely with your position on preserving these pieces and not just letting them take up more space in a landfill. Another point: this cheap "low end" piece from 54 years ago was likely made better and more solidly than many mid range pieces today. Our society is much more throwaway in its mindset than it was 54 years ago. Back then, more people hung on to and took care of their things. With so much viewed as short term and disposable today, things aren't manufactured with the same care and longevity in mind.
Amazing work! I bought a big armoire a few years ago but it has been standing on my bedroom untouched since then. I totally agree with you on saving old pieces of furniture. I wish one day I can do something nice with my wooden elephant :) I am definitely learning a lot from you. Thank you so much for sharing!
Angie, it's hard to believe it's been almost two yrs ago since you did this piece and it is still one of my very favorites!! Of course I love when you restore a piece with stains, tinting, natural, when you combine natural and painting, etc. But seeing a fully painted piece with your amazing freehand drawing is gorgeous too! There was just always something about this piece that I would love to have in my own home! Glad it poppend up in my feed to watch again! 😊
Watching this just made my heart happy I’ve been dying to see you use your wonderful artistic skills on a piece and this did not disappoint. Thanks Angie looks amazing!
This is so inspiring. As an illustrator I've been kinda just wiggling my toe in furniture flipping but seeing your result here makes me realize I can combine these skills in ways I didn't think of. Subscribing now, Looking forward to more awesome flips like this-- even if this isn't a moneymaker, it's still a wonderful OOAK piece I'd be proud to have in my portfolio!
the end result was absolutely stunning. looked extremely high end with repairs and pain choices. and the flower drawing was spectacular on it! your artistic ability is so impressive.
This is amazing!! I love that you are prepared to follow through on making over a piece even if it isn't in the best condition, it's definitely an issue globally but we're finding in Australia that way too much stuff is being thrown out and there are lots of programs and companies working on recycling/repurposing things that would just go to landfill. I love to repurpose or just update pieces that would get chucked out, now I just have to do a few more markets to try and sell some of my finished pieces that are filling up my sheds!! You inspire me every time I watch your channel so thank you so much 👏👏👌👌🥰🥰
I am completely and thoroughly impressed with your artistry and talent! The finished project is absolutely beautiful!!! (And yeah, I would not have even given the original piece a second thought. Good on you, for being able to see that it was salvageable!) You've definitely got a new fan (and subscriber!)
I ususally prefer more asmr-style furninture restoration videos with minimal talking, but you're so engaging and interesting you drew me right in! And then, the final piece looks amazing! It's incredible how lovely you made it, you clearly have an excellent eye and some incredible skills. I also really liked your point about how the piece, despite being cheaply made, was clearly sturdy enough as it had already lasted over 50 years. There's generally such an emphasis on solid wood that the practicality of 'lesser' materials had completely escaped me. Thank you for bringing that perspective into my life! Subscribed :)
Thank you for being a great student Nick! I say it over and over again but some people still don't hear me. So many people don't even realize how many pieces are not actually solid wood! Welcome to my channel and thank you so much for watching! Also - there's an ASMR sanding and scraping video posted here - ua-cam.com/video/xPByi250TyU/v-deo.html in case you're interested.
The flower you did freehand is stunning. It made the dresser a work of art. I agree with you that more furniture needs to be reclaimed, Keep up the awesome work.
Angie, you are my favorite! The love you show even fir tough pieces and your artsy style come through every time! Love the art on this piece! Let’s see more of your wonder talent!
Having grown up with furniture much like this piece, I dubbed the mid-century design aesthetic "art yucko" from a place of experience. While you may not have turned a profit, this piece went from "Hell, no!" to "Shut up and take my money!" and I appreciate your sharing its journey with us. No idea why this turned up in my recommended bar, but glad it did. Love to watch a fellow craftsperson document their work. You rock!
I love the way you work! And your vision...and your purpose..and the way you treat/keep/take care of your tools...and how respectful you are with objects!!🤗 And that you always save the critters living in the pieces of every furniture you save!
I think it turned out beautifully and your artwork really added depth to this piece! This was a recommended video and you got a new subscriber! Very well done!
I just sat there at the end, shaking my head saying "Unbelievable. *UNBELIEVABLE."* The flower looks amazing on that gorgeous dark neutral background (I hope you use that color again, it's really lovely). If you thought you were over your head, that only means you learned a couple new tricks, and pushed yourself into further greatness! 😀 Very well done. Again!
Loved the markers! I really admire your artwork. Do not hold back from displaying it on any piece that you restore. I just hope you sign it somewhere because your work will be sought after and people will begin to buy furniture with your signature as an investment in the future.
The photo of all the tossed out furniture in a pile was heartbreaking - such unnecessary waste... And I'd be curious to know how much of a profit you did make on this piece, given that it's a bespoke, one-off, unique bit of artwork. Not a keen fan of painted furniture in general, but it was obvious this was the only option, and beautifully executed.
You did an amazing job with this piece. Why not charge for your work like any other project? Like you said, this is over 50 years old and it’s lasted this long. Very nicely done. I would have painted the hardware gold just to have a better contrast, but the dresser itself is gorgeous.👍🏼
What an incredible transformation! You have an amazing artistic creative eye. Drawing that detailed flower on the face of this dresser took my breath away…wow! You have created a stunning one-of-a-kind piece.
This piece may have begun as “low end” but your work certainly elevated it. Your “furniture tattoo” gives it such an elegant feel. Well done.
I can't figure out if I want her to tattoo me or my furniture. 💜
Transformative!
That looks fantastic! I love that instead of giving up on a piece that “wasn’t worth it” you changed direction and made her beautiful again. And your free hand drawing….just wow. As someone who LOVES getting tattoo, I wish I lived closer so you could give me some new art. Amazing creation overall.

Yes, I’d love to see more of you combining your passion for drawing and restoring furniture 😊
That would be awesome if there was such a thing! 🙂
Maybe some day they'll branch out with their react options! Thanks so much for watching!
I almost fell off my chair when you went for the markers freehand... Very bold! You have a very steady hand. I am suitably impressed, and obviously this looks amazing as usual. I can't wait for the next one!
Hahaha thank you so much ☺️

I'm so glad you like this one Ashley!
This has become a signature piece for you! Thank you for showing how you save furniture from landfills!
You're most welcome! 😀
Watching this just made my heart happy I’ve been dying to see you use your wonderful artistic skills on a piece and this did not disappoint. Thanks Angie looks amazing!
Thank you very much! 😊
Absolutely love the end result on this piece! The freehand painting is beautiful! Keep using the markers, I love when you draw!
Well that was awesome! The artwork added a classic punch and I love the element of surprise. Definitely a remarkable piece. Yes, more please.
This is so inspiring. As an illustrator I've been kinda just wiggling my toe in furniture flipping but seeing your result here makes me realize I can combine these skills in ways I didn't think of. Subscribing now, Looking forward to more awesome flips like this-- even if this isn't a moneymaker, it's still a wonderful OOAK piece I'd be proud to have in my portfolio!
Welcome to my channel! I'm so glad I could inspire you. Thank you so much for watching!
the end result was absolutely stunning. looked extremely high end with repairs and pain choices. and the flower drawing was spectacular on it! your artistic ability is so impressive.
Thank you very much!
NOT a moneymaker?!!?! I’m sure there are plenty of people willing to pay a lot for it! It’s BEAUTIFUL, and your artwork is perfection!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
This is amazing!! I love that you are prepared to follow through on making over a piece even if it isn't in the best condition, it's definitely an issue globally but we're finding in Australia that way too much stuff is being thrown out and there are lots of programs and companies working on recycling/repurposing things that would just go to landfill. I love to repurpose or just update pieces that would get chucked out, now I just have to do a few more markets to try and sell some of my finished pieces that are filling up my sheds!! You inspire me every time I watch your channel so thank you so much 👏👏👌👌🥰🥰
I am completely and thoroughly impressed with your artistry and talent! The finished project is absolutely beautiful!!! (And yeah, I would not have even given the original piece a second thought. Good on you, for being able to see that it was salvageable!) You've definitely got a new fan (and subscriber!)
Welcome to my channel Pam, very glad to have you here!
I ususally prefer more asmr-style furninture restoration videos with minimal talking, but you're so engaging and interesting you drew me right in! And then, the final piece looks amazing! It's incredible how lovely you made it, you clearly have an excellent eye and some incredible skills.
I also really liked your point about how the piece, despite being cheaply made, was clearly sturdy enough as it had already lasted over 50 years. There's generally such an emphasis on solid wood that the practicality of 'lesser' materials had completely escaped me. Thank you for bringing that perspective into my life! Subscribed :)
Thank you for being a great student Nick! I say it over and over again but some people still don't hear me. So many people don't even realize how many pieces are not actually solid wood! Welcome to my channel and thank you so much for watching! Also - there's an ASMR sanding and scraping video posted here - ua-cam.com/video/xPByi250TyU/v-deo.html in case you're interested.
The flower you did freehand is stunning. It made the dresser a work of art. I agree with you that more furniture needs to be reclaimed, Keep up the awesome work.
I definitely will! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Angie, you are my favorite! The love you show even fir tough pieces and your artsy style come through every time! Love the art on this piece! Let’s see more of your wonder talent!
Thanks for watching Carol!
Having grown up with furniture much like this piece, I dubbed the mid-century design aesthetic "art yucko" from a place of experience. While you may not have turned a profit, this piece went from "Hell, no!" to "Shut up and take my money!" and I appreciate your sharing its journey with us. No idea why this turned up in my recommended bar, but glad it did. Love to watch a fellow craftsperson document their work. You rock!
I'm so glad I was recommended and that you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for watching!
another epic piece! Would love to see more designs on future pieces
The dresser is absolutely beautiful. It is a work of art.
Thank you so much! ☺️
I love the way you work! And your vision...and your purpose..and the way you treat/keep/take care of your tools...and how respectful you are with objects!!🤗 And that you always save the critters living in the pieces of every furniture you save!
Wow, thank you!
Love the transformation and the marker drawing!! I hope you find other pieces you can do that to! Everything you try turns out beautiful!! 💖💖💖
I am so happy to see you that you found a piece to "tattoo," Angie. Please keep doing these gorgeous one-of-a-kind art pieces!
I will! Thanks for watching!
I think it turned out beautifully and your artwork really added depth to this piece! This was a recommended video and you got a new subscriber! Very well done!
Welcome to my channel! Thanks so much for watching and I'm so glad you like the piece.
I just sat there at the end, shaking my head saying "Unbelievable. *UNBELIEVABLE."* The flower looks amazing on that gorgeous dark neutral background (I hope you use that color again, it's really lovely). If you thought you were over your head, that only means you learned a couple new tricks, and pushed yourself into further greatness! 😀 Very well done. Again!
You’re an amazing artist! And the gold beetle seals the deal on this incredible transformation. Well done Angie!
Thank you so much for watching Jody!
Loved the markers! I really admire your artwork. Do not hold back from displaying it on any piece that you restore. I just hope you sign it somewhere because your work will be sought after and people will begin to buy furniture with your signature as an investment in the future.
The photo of all the tossed out furniture in a pile was heartbreaking - such unnecessary waste... And I'd be curious to know how much of a profit you did make on this piece, given that it's a bespoke, one-off, unique bit of artwork. Not a keen fan of painted furniture in general, but it was obvious this was the only option, and beautifully executed.
You did an amazing job with this piece. Why not charge for your work like any other project? Like you said, this is over 50 years old and it’s lasted this long. Very nicely done. I would have painted the hardware gold just to have a better contrast, but the dresser itself is gorgeous.👍🏼
Gold hardware would have taken away from the artwork, I think.
Thanks so much for watching!
Wow you made this piece look amazingly beautiful. The art work gave it such a touch of excellence.
Thank you very much!
Your design talents exceeded themselves with this piece. I love, love, love it.
I'm so glad. Thank you so much for watching!
Would definitely love to see more markers. Absolutely love the outcome of the finished project.
Thank you so much!
What an incredible transformation! You have an amazing artistic creative eye. Drawing that detailed flower on the face of this dresser took my breath away…wow! You have created a stunning one-of-a-kind piece.
Thank you so much for watching!
Wow. This is an awesome transformation. I think it looks great. I'd love to see more of the pens and your drawings on furniture.
Muito bom! Você é muito talentosa e cuidadosa. Obrigada por mostrar seu trabalho neste vídeo.
Thank you so much for watching!
What a transformation! Very well done! 👏 And your artwork is stunning. I think you should do more pieces with your artwork! 👌
Thank you so much 😀
WOW!!! You definitely made this dresser look like a high end piece of furniture! Absolutely Stunning!!! ❤
Thank you! 😊
This is so beautiful! I can't believe you free-handed that flower! Wow!
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Holy moley!!!!!! Is there nothing you cannot transform into a gorgeous piece of reloveable furniture???!!! And your freehand! Stunning.
Wow, thank you!
That floral design was GORGEOUS. I hope you do it more often!!
Did you see this one? ua-cam.com/video/9CZ2fk7JNFg/v-deo.html
Love it! I think switching the drawers was a great idea.
What a stunning transformation!! From a cheapo dresser to a whimsical statement piece. You are quite a talented artist.
Thank you so much!
