    I'm so glad that nobody else wanted the headboard.
    It was waiting for YOU to come up with an idea to create something out of it.
    I'm guessing that about 60%+ of the furniture in your home is one of a kind.
    I love it, Angie! 🤟
    Thanks! 👍

    If I walked into your room with the nice fireplace, I would NEVER guess the surround had a former life! It's a totally successful repurpose project. Beautifully and tastefully done. Hope you enjoy it. You're the BEST!

    This really brings back memories. We never lived in a house with a fireplace, so for Christmas my Mum would remove the free-standing (no rails) bookcase headboard from one of the bedrooms and turn it into an ersatz fireplace for the "Rumpus Room". Since the headboard was returned to the bedroom after Christmas she did her transformation with brick patterned paper, a long board for a mantle shelf and the 1950's electric fireplace (the kind with red light bulbs and a little fans that to make the light flicker) that had traveled with us from house to house. A nice memory for Mother's Day. Thank you.

    One of the reasons I love your channel is how you don't give up on making a piece the most beautiful it can be. Your eye for detail gives your pieces so much elegance. I have said before, your videos are educational in the art of woodworking and restoring. It would be a privilege to have one of your furniture restorations in my home.❤ You're an artist Angie😊

    Love this quote from R. Buckminster Fuller. I live in a geodesic dome home which was designed by him. In the 1960s my husband met him after he gave a lecture to one one of his college classes. Great designer.

  • @alisondepaola9224

    So cool!! We donated our son’s old bookshelf headboard to a local furniture flipper, who turned it into a mobile bar for a local restaurant!! Every time we go into town for an event, we always seek them out and tell the story again. You’re so creative and it looks just so good. Well done!!!

  • @manolaisvalaikis1185
    @manolaisvalaikis1185 6 місяців тому +48

    I can’t emphasize enough, how happy and also relaxing it is to see your new video, Angie. For me it is late Sunday evening, right before the start of the new working week, and your videos help me relax and prep for a good night sleep. Writing this before even finishing the video, I know that the final result is going to be beautiful! Seeing a wreck being put back to life produces some kind of special furniture seratonin, I guess 😊

    • @mousiebrown1747

      I couldn't agree more with @manolaisvalaikis1185. Seeing how you redesign and repurpose different pieces is an exploration into creativity. I watch a TFG video before I go to sleep each night. Very soothing and a nice dose of positive energy. Thank you for all the effort and time you put into sharing your passion.

    This truly fits your remit-keeping items out of landfill. Couldn't give it away, seemed destined for the dump. Instead, you repurposed it beautifully. I think your artistic background helped with the idea and your refinishing skill brought it to fruition. You should look at this with great pride. The final product looks like it was always meant to be this way. Congratulations!

    After your comment about pressed wood I'm starting to change my mind about it. I still heavily prefer solid wood but I now realize it's about understanding the purpose and using the right techniques to refinish them. 6:30

    • @Abmotsad
      @Abmotsad 6 місяців тому +7

      I used to feel the same way, but once I learned to veneer and laminate, I fully embraced high-quality plywoods and MDF. For some purposes, pressed wood is simply better. For instance, real wood is not as good as MDF for speaker cabinets.

  • @CarolHewett-ug2cw
    @CarolHewett-ug2cw 6 місяців тому +13

    Great idea. And it was a super item to begin with had you elected to use it as a headboard. I'm 75 yo and love watching you young ladies repurpose real wood furniture. You all are so handy with tools, not just paint or varnish. I hope other young homemakers are watching and learning.

    I’m also so excited because that Odie’s walnut stain is exactly the color I need for a piece I’m redoing.

    I love this idea! I have a very similar headboard that got painted white. Not sure what's under that paint but the rails are long since broken and I think the footboard is MIA. I really like this idea of repurposing it into a fireplace.
