In this video, I'm taking a 1960s walnut dresser and giving it a refresh. It's been in storage for a while, and had a little bit of mildew on it, as well as some veneer chips, scratches, and other finish issues. I could have used the "standard" refinishing procure with this, which would have been a lacquer finish, but I opted to use Odie's Oil, a tung oil based hard wax oil finish instead. I've had great luck with it on my own pieces and it holds up very well.

You've been missed!
Thank you! I missed everyone too!
Wow! Fabulous ! Very pretty!🥰
The reconfiguration of the drawers transforms the piece and makes it look much sharper
Thank you kindly! 😃
You wouldn’t know that was the same piece of furniture. As always, amazed at how beautiful your work is. ❤️
Thank you! 😊
You are the furniture whisperer. You find the flaws and bring the piece.back to life!
Wow, thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
So sleek, so elegant - I love it and oh boy, did they ever have the drawers out of order. What a difference!
I can understand why they put the drawers where they did for symmetry, but by putting the drawers in the correct place it makes more sense visually.
Thank you so much for watching! 😀
For a quick flip you produced another fantastic piece. It's nice to see where the middle drawers really belonged because it was how the dresser originally looked.
I'm glad you like how it turned out! Thanks for watching! 🙂
Just, wow! You did it again. This piece is absolutely stunning now. Probably in my top 5 that you’ve done. And yes, with drawer placement! How much of a difference did that make, like crazy! Beautiful work as always Angie ❤
Thank you so much 😀
Thank you so much for repairing the veneer. It's hard to find UA-cam refinishers who don't just automatically slap some Bondo in damaged areas and call it fixed. Your attention to detail is very much appreciated.
You're most welcome! Thank you so much for watching!
Gorgeous work, as always, and the bunny intermission was just the icing on the cake!
I'm so glad you enjoyed them! Thank you so much for watching!
That is such an improvement! It's always so nice to see a piece refinished and restored back to its original glory!
Thank you kindly! 😀
Glad you’re back and still hitting home runs - what a beautiful outcome! ❤ Love the bunnies 🐰 and we can’t get enuff of Nacho 🐈
He'll be thrilled to hear that! Thank you so much for watching!
Best furniture refurbisher on UA-cam ❤
Wow! Thank you very much!
The book matching of the veneers are spectacular! Angie you’ve uncovered a gem with your amazing work. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
another wonderful result. Such a rich looking piece of furniture. I love it and I love those darling rabbits. Thanks again for a wonderful video!
You are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching! 😀
Absolutely beautiful. The drawers look so much better in the correct spot
I think so too! Thank you so much for watching!
Your respect for the styles of the mid-century period is evident -- you do them such justice.
Wow, thank you so much! 😊
Another beautiful piece! I love, love, love your videos.
Thank you very much! 😀
Ah! I just now noticed which video you had commented on! ! I’m not sure how this happened but this video is currently “unlisted”, which means no one is supposed to be able to view it unless they have the link! This is the video that is due to be released on Sunday, which is why it’s not showing up on the main page! I’m SO glad you mentioned this, because it must be a glitch! I’m wondering if it’s because it’s already added to the playlists that it’s a bit of a “loophole” and it’s showing up there! Oh my gosh. Thank you for bringing this up because that’s something I had no idea could happen and for upcoming scheduled videos, I’ll definitely be sure NOT to add them to playlists until the date they go live!
Looks like you got yourself an exclusive pre-release screening! Haha ❤️😬
Amazing ! You did a wonderful job on it!
Take care ❤
Thank you so much!
Bunnies and Nacho viewing greatly appreciated. Love how you walk us through your process. Lovely
I'm so glad you like how it turned out! Thank you so much for watching!
Beautiful job, as always!! You never cease to amaze me, girlfriend!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow. This came out very nice. Straight off the showroom floor. Love it.
Thank you very much!
The drawers make so much more sense as a top row! And having them there gives the piece more gravitas somehow. Lovely work!
(And thank you for the bunny intermission- critters are my happy place!)
Thank you very much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the buns!
Hi Angie! I clicked the “like” button so I won’t forget. Love all your videos!
Yay! Thank you!
Oh,So that is the deal with those three drawers. So glad to be able to follow this. So encouraging to see how one can transform and save a piece. Thank you for being our good neighbor to the North. We are following your weather and fire problems. Stay well. Hug those BunRabs for me.
Thank you so much for watching and consider them hugged! 🐰
Angie, you're a wealth of information and amazingly talented. Wow! another beautiful piece.
Thank you so much!
Considering what you started with...What a transformation! Love it!
Thanks so much! 😊
So gorgeous, especially with the drawers in their proper place. Thanks for the bunny time! 😊
It really changes the look doesn't it? Thank you so much for watching!
The correct placement of the drawers, not only improved their function, but radically changed the appearance of the dresser. It looks more “mid-century” than it did. Thanks for the bunny interlude. When they were side-by-side, one with ears up and one with floppy ears down, it brought a smile to my face!
You're very welcome! I'm so glad we could make you smile. 😀
Great job as always. I'm always amazed by what you can do with this kind of furniture
Thank you kindly! 😀
Your workmanship is always so amazing and inspiring! Thank you for sharing great videos 😊
You're most welcome! Thank YOU for watching!
You made it BRAND NEW!!!!! It's so elegant and rejuvenated! Thanks so much for sharing
You're welcome! Thank YOU for watching!
What a treat for the bunnies to hop around safely outside and enjoy the grass!
Aren't they adorable? Thank you so much for watching! 🐰
Just beautiful Angie❣️I have really grown to love mid century modern furniture by watching your channel. I really appreciate the beautiful wood grain. It is so rich and adds so much character to a room.
I'm so glad! Thank you so much for watching!
A palavra que define essa peça é ELEGÂNCIA...bela, discreta, PERFEITA. Beijos.❤ Rio de Janeiro - Brasil.
Thank you very much Silvia!!
Angie you’re a top craftswoman and we love to see you working. - everything you do. Bunnies and pusscat are the icing on the cake
Thank you so much!
Wow the after was amazing! Love those Odie’s oil finishes. I can’t believe you worked in that heat!
I'm so glad you like it!
OMG. The grain on the top drawers. I’m in love!
Thank you so much for watching!
I watch other furniture re-finishers and none take care as much as you do. I believe it's because you are an artist. You do beautiful work and it gives me the satisfaction of watching something become beautiful. Thank You.
Wow, thank you!
So beautiful! I'm supposed to be resting after an injury. I have a very hard time resting. Thank you for helping me to sit still and watch you work for 20 minutes. You are an amazing blessing to me.
You're very welcome! I hope you heal up fast, resting from an injury is incredibly trying for most people. Feel better!!
Mid century furniture is just so timeless. I actually prefer it over most modern pieces.
I'm with you completely. Thank you so much for watching!
The bunnies stole the show again!!!! Love the beautiful finish and looks so much better with the drawers in correct position.
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for rescuing bunnies! I’ll never forget my sweet Cleo. She was such a wonderful bun! ❤❤❤❤❤ We have a wild bunny that visits our back yard.
That is wonderful! They're amazing little creatures! 🐰
This is one of my favorite pieces. I love wood furniture, I love that a battered old piece is given care and respect.
I really appreciate that, thank you! 😊
I don't care what you do, I'll watch it, because I love your channel and the work you do to save furniture from the trash, never stop because I love your creativity and the restoration of the furniture, thanks for sharing.
You're so welcome! Definitely no plans at all to stop, not with all these pieces still to save! 😀
So awesomely beautiful ! I'd fill my home with MCM if I could.
You are such a multi talented wonder. Thank you for sharing it with us.
You're most welcome! Thank you so much for watching!
The drawer placement makes so much more sense now! Absolutely stunning! You have been missed! Thank you for the bunny-break.
You're most welcome! It's nice to be back. 🙂
So glad you're back! This came out AWESOME. So much more ascetically pleasing with the drawers across the top, rather than down the middle. Another great job, Angie!!!!
Many thanks! 😀
Once again beautiful work! Thank you Angie for ALWAYS showing us that old worn out used pieces of furniture can be rescued back to looking fresh & like new with a new lease on life to be useful for someone for another 20 years or more IF CARED FOR by the right owner😊
You're so very welcome!! 😀
I keep thinking that you will do a restoration that I don’t love. Never, I love them all. And, like you, I am so drawn to walnut mid century furniture. And I do learn so much from watching your videos.
Thank you so much.
You're most welcome!! 😀
I could picture my Mom leaning on this with one hand, and the other hand on her hip! 🙂
Aww, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching!
Of course!! It all makes sense now, and the piece looks tons better with the handle-less drawers in the top row.
It is amazing how you breathe life back into these pieces. Every piece is an inspiration. 💖
Wow, I really appreciate that! Thank you!
Gorgeous and the drawers in the correct spot seal the deal. ❤
I think so too! Thank you so much for watching! 🙂
Another great save!! Inspired relocation of the vertical grain drawers.
Glad you like how it turned out! Thank you so much for watching!
Hi Angie, this is beautiful! It drawers like so much better the way you have them.
Thank you so much for watching! I'm so glad you like how it turned out!
Thank you for the Bunny Intermission. You have rekindled my bunny love. I had a pet bunny as a kid. I started thinking about rescuing a bunny, but realized I don't have the focus a home bunny deserves. So I'll just keep watching Bunny content with Bunny love.
You're so welcome, they're very cute aren't they? Thank you so much for watching!
I loved that you stayed true to that beautiful wood grain. I love watching your work!
Thank you very much!! 😀
Your attention to detail is incredible. The dresser is so beautiful now. I love that you don't just paint everything over like a lot of other You-Tubers do. Can't wait for your next video.
While paint is sometimes required to save a piece or cover up damage, there is certain woods I will always try to save if I can! Walnut is my favourite. Thank you so much for watching!
Absolutely beautiful. Love those drawers in the right place!
They really change the look don't they?? Thank you so much for watching!
Looking awesome 🤩👏👏
Thank you! 😀
We ALWAYS appreciate a Nacho or bunnies intermission. It's like a plus on such relaxing and enjoyable videos! Thanks Angie! ❤️💕
You're so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! The buns are definitely one of the best parts of my day. 🐰
Absolutely GORGEOUS, Angie. Such an elegant piece which you managed to once again restored it to its original beuaty. And what a difference by putting the drawers in their propper places, making all the difference in the world.♥♥♥
I'm so glad you like it!
Oh, my goodness, Angie, you've something old new again. What a beautiful job you did. Thank you for sharing your tips with us, and the bunnies are so sweet. We enjoy your creativity. Have a wonderful week. Much Love, Dave & Amy.❤
You're both very welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed the buns. 🐰
The drawers make more sense being on the top row. Beautiful piece & I loved seeing the rescue bunnies 😊
Thank you so much for watching! 🙂
This is really pretty. I love the way you created subtle contrast with the water-based stain. Looking at the end result, it’s so beautiful the way the wood grain is a continuous pattern all the way across the drawers. It’s lovely to see you again and thank you for the rescue bunny intermission.🌸
I'm so glad you like it Deborah! Thank you so much for an incredible comment. I appreciate it! ❤️
Thanks for the love and care you infuse into every piece. This piece is lovely!
You're so welcome! 😊
The drawers went across the top!! It looks so much better that way--the way it was designed to be. It is one handsome piece now.
Thank you kindly!
Have to wonder how the previous owner used those three drawers - or didn't 😅
Again, really nice work on the fit and finish of the renewal.
Great work, Angie. I always enjoy your work and the final result. And, a little footage of bunnies doesn't hurt 👍
Thank you so much for watching!
Gurrlll......YOU WORKED THIS!! ABSOULTELY FABULOUS!! I LOVE MCM FURNITURE!!! I BET YOU CAN MAKE AN EAMES RECLINER START WALKING! LOVED THE BUNNIES! SO ADORABLE!
Thanks Dottie!!! ❤️
Don't ever feel like you're letting us down with a nice, simple flip. Your care and attention to detail always yield beautiful results. Not everything has to be "the most shocking episode yet." We're watching you *instead of* reality TV.
Oh thank you!
It seem I learn something from every vlog! Or it reinforces somethi ng I'll need at some point.. Be safe, Ciao!safe, Ciao.
The bunny intermission was so cute! We have bunnies in our yard a lot. They love my grass!
Your grass must be tasty! Thank you so much for watching!
The slight contrast between the darker water stained parts and the unstained parts is really nice! I know you said it wouldn't be very noticeable, but i actually think it looks really nice that way!
Every time i watch one of ur videos i say to myself thats my favorite, then i watch another video and say thats my favorite, i could never decide, every piece you refinish is a work of art, truly ur passion...plz keep them coming!
I definitely will, I'm so glad you like them all!!! 😃
Hi Angie, don't know if it's by accident or not, this video does not show up in the list of videos on the channel - I stumbled upon it watching the "no paint" playlist. Maybe some settings are wrong?
As a side-note: first time commenter here. I love your work and your videos. Not only the actual furniture related content but rather all of it as a whole: the bunnies, Nacho, the music, the backyard garden - and the idea that love and care can restore the world. Also the calming affect of your voice is something that needs mentioning. Don't take it as offence: but I watched your videos for falling asleep during a recent very difficult period when I had trouble sleeping. I know this is not the original intention but it was such a huge help for me. (Then I re-watched what I missed later on :) )
So thank you for giving us these lovely videos.
Oh my gosh! I’m not sure how this happened but this video is currently “unlisted”, which means no one is supposed to be able to view it unless they have the link! This is the video that is due to be released on Sunday, which is why it’s not showing up on the main page! I’m SO glad you mentioned this, because it must be a glitch! I’m wondering if it’s because it’s already added to the playlists that it’s a bit of a “loophole” and it’s showing up there! Oh my gosh. Thank you for bringing this up because that’s something I had no idea could happen and for upcoming scheduled videos, I’ll definitely be sure NOT to add them to playlists until the date they go live!
Looks like you got yourself an exclusive pre-release screening! Haha ❤️😬
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery :))) well, I promise I won't tell anyone what I saw, if you don't either! By the way, the last video in the "no paint" playlist is a music video by Coalition Music. Don't know if that's on purpose? It's kinda cool but I'm not sure if it's not another glitch there too given that the gothic dressed musicians are not exactly finishing furniture lol - maybe take a look there too :)
Hi Angie, another stunning rescue. You are very talented and I love watching your vids.
Thank you very much!
As always, Angela, another fabulous mid-century modern save! I learn so much from your videos and I appreciate you saving these forgotten and damaged pieces from the dump. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us!
You're most welcome! 🙂
I learn something every time I watch your videos. This time I learned how to not hate water base stains! Ode's Oil should be called Miracle Oil! lol As for this piece? Flawless!!!
Thank you very much!
Just beautiful Angie. Yes indeed the piece makes absolute design sense now with the "handle-less" drawers on the top tier. Thank you for your wonderful vision. ❤
You are so welcome!
Gorgeous!!
And thanks for the Rescue Bunny Intermission!🥰😍🤩
You're most welcome! 🐰
Hey there Angie! I’m so happy to see you. I am sure I speak for everyone in saying, you were missed.
This piece of furniture turned out really beautiful. When I first saw it with the drawers out , I thought “NO way would I ever touch it.” I’d have to take it to a car wash and power wash it. That is something I really admire about you to be honest. Bottom line.. you’re a true artist who is capable of transforming ugly, dirty furniture into something beautiful!
Now, Ohmygoodness those sweet bunnies! I can’t stand it… they are adorable. If I could foster animals and not keep them all, I would. I’m reeling from having to put my beloved 17 year old ragdoll cat to sleep today.
First off - I am so sorry for your loss. They leave a massive hole in our lives. I'm sure your sweet cat had an amazing life with you.
Secondly - thank you so much for your kind words, I'm so glad you like the way the piece turned out! 🙂
You, a gorgeous piece of furniture brought back, Nacho, AND bunnies? Welcome back, Angie! ❤
Haha! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
Lovely restoration - the original was very tired looking and the final product is typical for you - just gorgeous! Getting those drawers sorted also made a HUGE difference. Classy and elegant all day long.
Wow, thank you so much! ❤️
Angie, fabulous redo! You are the BEST refinisher on UA-cam! You make that walnut look glorious!!!!!
Wow, thank you!
Seeing the “middle drawers” cracked me up. 😂 It makes much more sense to see them at the top.
Right?! Looks so much better! Thank you very much for watching!
Lovely job, just shows you don’t need a dramatic makeover to return a piece to its former glory.
Sometimes you do, depending on damage and wear. 🙂 Thank you so much for watching!
Hi Angie, The perfection you exhibit in each of your works is undoubtedly phenomenal !!! Blessings to y'all.
Thank you so much for watching!
OMG, Bunnies!! They are so sweet. I have no idea how anyone could neglect or hurt them. Beautiful restoration of the bureau, as well. 😊
Thank you so much for watching!
Your work is, as always, meticulous and artistically pleasing. May I say I am envious (in an admiring manner) of your stunning workshop? It is almost everything I ever wanted as a young woman, but never managed to create. Much joy and pride for what you have created for yourself to work in!
Wow! Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words. ❤️
What a beautiful transformation! And the correct drawer placement turned it from “ho hum” to “WOW!” Wish I had that piece in my home.
Thank you so much! 😀
Another astounding transformation. Truly from trash to treasure.
Thank you so much!
That turned out really beautifully! It looks like that darker water based stain is supposed to be there. Lovely job as always, Angie! But then again, we've come to expect nothing less from you 🤩
Thank you so much!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 when you did this reveal I felt like I was in an upscale furniture store with hushed voices, perfect lighting and people walking oh so carefully.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
yay, rescue bunnies!!!!! i'm so jelly you get to pet them! your finished piece is a triumph. i could see from the get-go that the "middle" drawers weren't lined up properly and therefore weren't in the right places, but dang...with everything finished so perfectly and put back correctly, you created a perfect piece of furniture!
Wow, thank you so much! Patting the bunnies is definitely one of the best parts of my day. 🐰
I absolutely missed you! I’m so glad you’re back. Love the dresser it’s beautiful again you have outdone your self just wow love the bunnies show more of the bunnies and of nacho. Absolutely love your babies. Take care sweetheart.
Thank you so much for watching! 🙂
Nice piece repaired with love as always 👍😎🐕🦺🐈⬛
Thank you! Cheers!
Your ability to match the wood grain with those markers is incredible!
Thank you very much!
I always learn something new from each video.
Awesome, thank you!
Well that drawer placement makes much more sense!! And looks so much better! Bunnies!!! 😃I do love bunnies. They have so much more character and personality than they get credit for. 🐇🐰
Thank you very much!
Another beautiful transformation! The drawers look much better in their rightful places. Thanks for the peak at the bunnies!
You are so welcome!
That looks so much better with the top drawers in the correct position and all the rescue work. Beautiful.
Thank you so much for watching!
