Dramatic Dark Makeover of an Abandoned Roadside Dresser
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 тра 2023
- This dark and dingy tossed dresser is about to go even darker. I'm using Minwax's Semi Transparent water based stain in True Black to take this discarded piece to a whole other level. There were some ups and downs, but overall, I LOVE how this refinished piece turned out. What's that saying? One man's trash is another man's treasure? Indeed.

Not sure how any one else feels but watching these videos is so relaxing and grounding for me. I think it's because of Angie's attention to details and the almost spa like background music.
This was a bold choice for this piece. Idk that I could've been so brave. Well done and someone will be getting a ome of a kind piece as are all of Angie's wonderful transitions.
Awe, thank you! I'm really happy to hear that!
Her videos make me want to go driving around to see if I can find something good to fix up! 😊
It makes me have delusions that I can do this! LOL I LOVE these types of videos and how each creator completes a project!
Her videos are well edited and paced too
Me too. And no clean up. No unfinished projects to haunt you until you throw it out. Of course I don't own the thing either but.....
The brass hardware with the cool black stain is giving "little black dress" vibes. Absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you very much!
Perfect description of the vibe!
Yes they go well together. I, however, don’t like dark stains at all. I much prefer an oak-colored stain.
Pearls. Every little black dress (or pantsuit) needs a strand of pearls. (I love your analogy - because you are so right about those pulls turning the mundane into the classy.)
Little black dress-er vibes! 😂
Angie, you can feel really good about taking the extra time for the details, like finishing the back panel, as you do. What might seem obsessive in one context is a distinguishing attention to detail here, which is part of what sets you apart from the rest of the flippers and refinishers. Congrats on another beautiful rescue! Between rescuing bunnies and vintage furniture, you are making a nice dent in changing the world.
Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate the support. 😊
I love the long videos and your detailed explanations. No need Angie to apologize for the length of the video.
This turned out beautifully! I love it!!!
If you're going to make Nacho work so hard, he should get a nice raise. Supervision doesn't come cheep. 😊❤️😸
😆So he tells me! Thanks so much for watching Gretchen!
What draws me to your videos is your willingness to share your thought processes and your experimentation while restoring a piece. I have unsubscribed from so many who just preach at me. You instead show me what choices you consider and how you reach a final choice. I really find this piece very attractive. I have no doubt you can get a high money return on this piece. Extremely well done Angie!!
Thank you so much Vicki!
Nacho's little paw with the ball under the door was adorable! I really like the brass hardware with the black stain, Angie! 💚
Thanks so much Sharon! 😺
I told my daughter that this was a "giggle break."
Thanks so much for the Nacho moments. He makes me so happy
Who doesn't love a Nacho break
@@lovealwaysmomThat’s awesome!
The new casters and the glass shelf on the drinks cabinet elevate it to an eye-catching vintage piece.
Lovely that you’re donating it to the fundraiser for the bunnies rescue.
Thanks for watching!
I will admit that when you were using different options on the legs I wasn’t feeling the black. But, when you started staining the body and drawers I was definitely with you. It’s so nice to see another sad piece saved and given new life. Great job, Angie! Tell Nacho his supervision was top notch!
Thanks for sticking with me Dianna to see where I was going with it!
I love how you like to involve your audience with your thought processes on how to approach each piece. I would've been reluctant to test a stain on any part of the actual furniture, but your logic and knowing the final outcome you wanted made perfect sense, and when those of us are still learning how to approach our own pieces of furniture we want to restore, it's a relief to get those more detailed explanations of how and why.
Nacho is the cutest!! I love his inquisitive face.
I love your work Angie!!!
Thank you so very much Naomi!
Love how you measure twice and sometimes three times before drilling the holes for the new handles. That's real care in your craft. In the past, I viewed mid-century pieces as throw-away cheap things not worth the trouble to save. But your attention to your craft, and your vision, have shown me a new way of seeing what they really were and what they can still be. The ability to educate in that way takes you from craftsperson to artisan. I believe that life-long learning is the key to a rich existence; and I am grateful to all my teachers. You are very appreciated.
As are you! Your comments are always so well thought out and supportive. You've a way with words my friend! Thank you, as always, for watching! I look forward to your comments every time.
Not only am I consistently impressed by the artistry in your finished pieces, but also with the polish of your videos. Such an excellent job on both fronts!
Thanks so much!
I TELL YOU! SHE DOES SUCH AN EXCELLENT JOB OF SHOWING THE PROCESS OF WHAT GREAT CRAFTMANSHIP IS AND HOW IT SUPPOSED TO BE. THAT IS THE MAGIC OF MAKING AND CARING FOR THE THINGS YOU CREATE! CUSTOMERS NOTICE THAT! AND THAT IS ANOTHER GREAT WAY OF KEEPING YOUR CUSTOMERS AND MAKING NEW ONES! YOU GO GURL! WORK THAT THANG!
I love how the wood grain still manages to show through the dark stain. Another beautiful restoration! And as always, I appreciate the Nacho cameos! P.S. I couldn't see the drawer dowels on the finished piece -- great job!
Thank you very much!
Don’t apologize for the length! I love it!!! ❤ Great work as always. I really like this dresser’s shape. Water-based stain is intimidating to me but you made it work, unsurprisingly!
Thank you so much for watching and the great comment. I really appreciate that!
Old drawers always look so clean and refreshed after sanding. Such a simple step with such a big payoff. It's always very satisfying.
Yes it is! 😁
The music is very pleasant and Angie's voice isn't obtrusive or annoying. Very relaxing for me to watch.
That is outstanding, Angie! It looks very elegant. I’m quite sure that piece didn’t look half that good, even when new!
Thank you Marcia!
Utterly Gobsmacked! The Black stain was the way to go!
Thank you kindly!
I love watching you take furniture from plain and boring to beautiful show pieces ...have you ever thought of signing the inside of your work so people in the future can see who did the work and can see what a amazing artist you are❤
Yes, I have seen other flippers who have had branding irons made with their company logo. That would be a good finishing touch.
A lot of people have suggested that and it's something I'm considering for the future. Thank you so much for watching!
If that dresser had feelings, it would be smiling right now! Awesome job!!
Thank you kindly Josh!
You are at the top of the food chain with your inspiring videos! You prove the old saying.....Anything worth doing, is worth doing right!! Another fantastic transformation just fabulous 😍
Thank you so much!
Not only a beautiful makeover, but also a very nice video to watch ! Seeing you struggle to find the right choices to make for this piece, but also to see how the end result in a great makeover ! Combine that with the very relaxing background music and your friendly voice over, are making you makeover videos so nice to watch ! See you on the next one !!!!
Thanks so much for watching Albert!
I greatly admire the way you can take a rather overly used piece of furniture and make it very attractive
Thank you so much!
The drawer pulls are gorgeous with the routed shapes on the drawers and the black stain. Amazing work as always. The black is interesting and I'd love to see it in person. I 100% come back to watch your channel because you push yourself to try new things, not just the same look every time. Thank you for your great videos and explanations and kitty and bunny...
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Ange, you have a knack for editing. You show all the steps, fast forward in the right spots, and a bonus cute cat visit. I love it.
Thank you so much Rena! I'm really glad you enjoy my content.
Must be just as much work setting up the cammera as it is doing the work. I won't tell anyone if you say a bad work when you bang your thumb.
I first said, no keep the original hardware but in the end, those knobs were spot on! Thanks for going through the process of testing stains on the legs first... I hope it saves me on a project. It was wonderful to hear you explain how you take your projects to the highest level with strict attention to every detail on every nook + cranny, especially on some where that may not be seen. Bravo. Nacho, good on you for enforcing break time.
Thanks so much Valerie!
Hi Angie!! How wonderful was this furniture!! And this cutest kitten giving the air of grace in the video!! Good vibes and Namaste!!
Thanks so much for watching Luiza!
The end result is definitely the look of a high end piece of furniture. As always, your work is meticulously and beautifully done. Always appreciate you "defending" these composite pieces, because so many people are dismissive of them and they tend to look so dated and unattractive in their original finish. They're not solid wood but as you pointed out, they often fare better over time than all wood pieces. And you make them all look beautiful. Well done!
Thank you so much for this and for understanding it so well. You are a breathe of fresh air.
I have just finished showing my husband 6 of your vids in quick succession. We are in awe. You are obviously such a hard worker and have patience for 20 people. I gather you must love what you do. Will keep watching
Please do! I'm so glad you're enjoying my content. ❤️
Angie you work hard and those efforts are recognized in the finishes. Cheer!❤
Thank you kindly!
Congratulations on your youtube award, you worked a lot for it and deserve it. The viewer's are very happy and excited for you because of the likes and subscription to your channel. I love to see your restoration of furniture because these pieces are hard to find and you save them from the landfills, so a great thumbs-up to you Angie.
Thank you so much Mary, I really appreciate that!
She is stunning! I understand why you second guess yourself but I never question your designs. No matter what you pick i'm just like, yep! That's the perfect choice. 😊 Another incredible transformation!
Thank you so much!
The longer the videos, the better. I could watch these all day!!
Glad you like them!
You have very elegant taste!
Thank you very much!
I love the color. You did an amazing job.
Thank you so much!
You are truly keeping history alive with your restorations, and you do perfectly stunning work. Thanks for bringing us into your world.
My pleasure! I'm so glad you're enjoying my content!
You made me do it! Yep, after watching the detail you put into your pieces, I’m now lightly sanding and using Howard’s inside drawers. It’s one more step, but the feeling of a job well done is very rewarding! Thanks again for being you!
You're so welcome Cindi! Thank you for always watching and leaving great comments! You are appreciated.
Not generally a fan of dark, but your choice of using it for this cabinet was inspired. It looked so unique and unusual. Great job. Loved the new knobs. 👏
Thank you so much for watching!
The new hardware really makes the piece. Such a great recovery!
Many thanks!
I’m so glad you tried the black! It looks amazing! Art is all about taking risks, and I love how you explain your creative process.
Thank you very much!
wow what a difference. The dresser looks beautiful. That's what I like about you, you take that extra step to make your pieces look like new. Thanks for the video🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
You're so welcome Connie! Thanks for watching!
oh I can't wait!
I can't wait for you to see it Connie!
Beautiful! Your work is incredible!
Thank you so much!
You took something that looked cheap and turned it into elegant! Very classy piece.
Thank you very much! 😊
Nacho -- what a great name for an orange tabby. Love cats to bits and especially their "nosey" nature. They have to know everything you do or they are not happy!.
I'm lucky I found your channel. I've been "refurbishing" old discarded pieces since my teen years but your level of knowledge is every impressive and it shows in your work. Even though I won't be doing any restoring in the future, I especially sat up and took notice of your ingenious methods. Thank you for sharing.
You're so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Your thought process works so well ... the end result is proof of that. Such a nice transformation from its dowdy outdated appearance and yes the brass and black finish looks classy.
Thank you so much for watching!
This came out so pretty and elegant!! The new knobs are such an improvement, and the stain is just right!!❤
Thank you!
Love this! This little dresser looks wonderful. Brilliant!
That brass hardware with the grooves is just... *chefs kiss*! I had doubts, but once I could see the lines on the drawers, I just KNEW you picked perfectly like you always do!
Thank you so much for trusting me and sticking with me until the end!
The result is incredibly classy.
Thank you so much for watching Jan!
Whether the finished piece is something I love or don't love, I always enjoy your process, troubleshooting, and pivots when things aren't going as you'd planned! Love these longer videos! Important Nacho question.... How many total claws does he have? Each of our cats have 18 (ten in front, 8 in back) but it looks like Nacho has so many more!
Nacho does indeed have many more. 😺 He has 23 toes in total - front left foot has 6, front right foot has 7 and his back feet each have 5. So extras all around! Thanks so much for watching!
**Shiver** I can practically feel the smooth surface of the lacquered finish, sense the delightful coolness of the brass pulls, and smell the citrusy perfume of the drawers.
Thank you so much Gina!! 😊
Lovely details in the wood that only black can show off. A magnificent makeover!
Thank you so much for watching! 🙂
It turned out so Great! Stunning 😍
Thank you!
What an ellegant finał result! Well done!
Thank you kindly!
Another stunning transformation!
Oh, and Nacho is so adorable… a cat with a job!
Thanks so much for watching!
you are so right about the handles. the dresser and handles were meant to be together.
Thank you so much!
Love how the new handles go perfectly with the legs.
How could someone leave a such a quality piece on the side of the road? You are a talented rescue worker!!
Thank you very much! You'd be horrified to see what some people send to the landfill....
love love love those funky triangle pulls with the almost black wood. impeccable work as always
Thank you so much! I appreciate that! 😊
Oh my gosh Angie baby 🎤 every time you post a video and I see what you’re gonna flip I think Ahhh this’ll be ok…and you turn junk turn into ohh la la! Nacho sure is a smart kitty. I love how he pushes his toy under the door 😂❤️ Happy Fur Mothers Day next week ❤️
Thank you so much Jodi! I appreciate that! ❤️
WOW. Some of your best work! Must be all of Nacho’s supervising.
Must be - he's very on top of things the past few weeks. 😉😺
It occurred to me to tell you that I like that you do voice over, rather than live sound. I watch a lot of woodworking and restoration videos. And too often I almost have to mute them rather than listen to the sound of a saw or sander. Who needs that? Well done!
Aw thank you! I know there are lots of channels with tool sounds- my weird sensory issues prevent me from truly enjoying them when the sound levels aren’t mixed well. I don’t even like the sound of sanders and saws in my own workroom (I wear ear muffs, lol) let alone to purposely watch it in videos, lol. If the levels are mixed well though, it’s not as bad. :-)
That shot with you playing with Nacho’s when all you can see is his wee furry paw under the door passing you the ball -is everything 😍
I'm glad you enjoyed that, he does love a good game of 'Under the door'. 😊
Awwwe the little Nacho paw! Beautiful job!
Thanks so much for watching Melody!
Wow ❤❤❤❤ I really cannot tell you how much I enjoy your videos. My only regret is that my late husband passed away seven years ago. He would have been watching your videos nonstop over and over again for your detail for your diligence and your skill. With love from Maryland.💙💙💙💙
Thank you so much Pamela! I really appreciate your thoughtful and kind comment.❤️
You know you sometimes run out of the perfect words for something so beautiful, that it's hard to find the right one. Classy! I love it.
Thank you very much! 🙂
Millie melted my heart!!! ive been involved in rabbit rescue and saving bunnies for 40 years. loved watching video but then after Millie I really love them. more Millie please
I'll let Millie know she has a fan. ❤️
Another excellent Restore. BRAVA!! (And good to see Nacho again.)
Thank you very much!
Watching as you refresh the inside of the drawers, sanding and then applying good smelling stuff, is my favorite part. I have no idea why. Just super satisfying.
I'm so glad you enjoy it Diana! Thanks so much for watching!
All hail Darth Dresser!!!! I love this trip to the Dark Side!
Really like the way the black stain turned out ❤
Thank you so much!
Thank you for donating to the Bunny Rescue!! I love all of your restorations and saves!!!
I do quite often! We usually have fundraisers for them every year plus we foster for them. Thanks so much for watching!
Another homerun Angie! My 23 year old daughter is moving into her own apartment and she is taking some pieces I have refinished as well as "ordering" some I have stored in the barn loft. Spent part of this beautiful May day painting a bookcase black to match her decor. Next up is a lovely Victorian side table that I am refinishing the top and little shelf and painting the legs black for her living room. Just glad she likes antiques to give her apartment some class.
They sound lovely Katherine! Thanks so much for watching!
The piece turned out beautifully. Love that you take the time to clean everything and make every part of the piece look good as new.
Thank you very much!
An artist is their own worst critic. You, miss, are an artist. This is fabulous!
Thank you so much!
That's unrecognisable. What a great transformation and once again you have saved the life of something most people would take to the tip.
Thanks so much!
The transformation is outstanding! Designers say every room needs at least one black item to ground the room. This would be that piece. It's the LBD (little black dresser) for every bedroom. Such great old world meets art deco design. I appreciate when you share the process. Sometimes you have to go through a lot of stain to get the right one. Well done, You!
Thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate your support!
Awww I didn’t know Taco was a poly! So cute. I can’t even. The dark was absolutely the right call. It’s just gorgeous. Well done as usual!
Nacho is a serious polydactyl - he has 23 toes in total. 7 on his front right, 6 on his front left and 5 each of his back feet.
I love how it turned out. Water-based stains are difficult and frustrating to use, and it made me feel better that you also have some issues using them. Thanks for always being real and honest!
Always! Thank you so much for watching! 😀
I love all the nice comments you get. You truly deserve them. Nice gifts 😁 Great job with a difficult piece.
Thank you so much!
Absolutely love your work, your channel and that you pay attention to details like painting the back when it looks rough. I always look forward to your new videos ❤
I'm so glad Sandra! Thank you for always watching!
The drinks cabinet much nicer now - very classy
Thank you!
I think the new casters on the liquor cabinet are MUCH nicer. And the shelf is awesome.
Thank you!
Huge improvement Angie! I’m particularly happy that you didn’t two-tone it. The brass pulls just pushed the end product into the 10/10 zone!
Thank you so much for watching! 😃
The new hardware is perfect. Added to the all black wash, every original detail comes together. Also, totally appreciate the attention to cleaning! Why go to all that work and then install dirty drawer guides and an ugly backing. With all your TLC, one would never know that this was a roadside find.
Thank you very much! 😊
What the holy heck-fire witchery talent do you possess?! I am always stunned at the final result!
Now THAT comment is a mouthful because I had to say it out loud as soon as I read it! Thanks so much for watching!! 😊😊
Awesome as usual. No need to apologize for what you consider a lengthy video. I lose all sense of time when I watch the process of your transformations. Thanks for sharing what you do!
You're so welcome Pauline! Thank YOU for watching!
Beautiful as ever!!
Thank you so much!
The reveal made me giggle because it was lovely. Your professional approach sets you apart from other channels. Millie, the bunanas bag and Nacho cameos made it special!
Thank you kindly! 😺🐰
The dark stain is working perfectly with the grooves giving an industrial vibe. fantastic choices. a perfect rescue. Star Trek prop.
Thanks so much!
One of my favorite pieces you have done ! I love you chose to go dark , it looks very high end like you said. Very rich color 😊
Thanks Bobby!
I can't understand why people wouldn't clean plastic bits or backboards. After all the hard work. Glad you do. That's why you're so much more.
Thanks so much! 😊
Oh, your beautiful orangey boi! Love it when cats do their inspection work 😊
They're very thorough too!
I have had a stressful anxiety inducing couple of days….this nice calm transformation is just what the Dr ordered!❤
I'm so glad to hear that!
Absolutely LOVE the contrast of the dark wood and brushed brass hardware. This piece would look stunning in just about any home. Lovely transformation once again Angie. 😀 x
Thanks so much Emma! I'm glad you like how it turned out!
Very nice transformation. And that's the cutest supervisor ever. 😅
Thank you! 😊
OMG,OMG,OMG!!! What a transformation. Thank you for taking us on the journey. Good teacher, BunRab Girl. Am grateful.
You're so welcome Nancy! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
SO glad you took the “dare” and went dark with this. LOVE it‼️I actually think this stain will be perfect for a project I’m thinking of. Thank you for sharing! I look forward to you posting your projects‼️
Thank YOU for watching!
What a magnificent transformation Angie! ❤
Thank you very much Fern!
love how it turned out. Very classy
Thank you!
YES! Love how to pay attention to all the details. CLEAN IT!!
