To think we almost lost this piece of art but along you came to the rescue. Thank you for that and the inspiration and knowhow you provided. So grateful.
Those drawer pulls are amazing, an Art Deco touch to a mid century piece, very clever and together they make a statement: "I'm one of a kind and I'm Beautiful!"
By the time you're finished with a piece, it just glows! Who could have imagined that beat up old dresser could be a thing of beauty? Great job, as always.
I’m so glad you don’t try to make your pieces showroom perfect. I love the little imperfections that show the pieces have lived a life and have the scars to prove it ( don’t we all??). I hope to one day find a treasure beside the road and bring it back to life. You’re amazing, and my hero.
I enjoy your channel. You have a very pleasant voice and you always restore where possible unlike some other people who are too keen to paint a piece pink and cover it with sequins
As someone who would like to SOMEDAY start their furniture flipping journey, I can say that if I started with the 180 grit and still had scratches, my thinking would have been to get more aggressive and not less aggressive sand paper. Very much appreciate your wisdom and also very much enjoying your videos. Thanks for posting!
Beautiful save of a vintage dresser. I haven't seen a cufflink tray since I was a kid, in my father's dresser back in the 1960's. Brought back fond memories.
Angie, you never cease to amaze me....wow! Can't believe what people throw out. It's crazy in my neighborhood. People are constantly throwing things out similar to this.....I'm already teaching my kids what to look for. Furniture today just isn't made like this. Can't get the same value for the money today.
I am laughing so hard at myself right now! I was all in a huff and about to report this comment as unkind for calling a person a goat, and in all caps no less! Until I saw a very important person had actually "liked" it! I strained my brain and finally figured out it (probably) stood for "greatest of all times"! And that's absolutely true!! If I told my granddaughter about this, she would roll her eyes, shake her head and in complete exasperation say Nana!! I don't understand all the acronyms any more than I understand why someone would treat a piece of furniture so carelessly! But as long as you are the one to find it, I know it will be restored to it's former beauty! 😁👏💖
Honestly, I don't think I'd want a piece like this to be perfect. With it's age came use, and you restored it with a realistic eye. This is so worth keeping for another 80 + years. Beautiful work.
Angie, you are the BEST at furniture rescue. This one has such beautiful bones and I'm glad you recognized that and restored her for her next life. I don't mind the little scars and dings, either. Someone is going to love and treasure this piece for years to come. Thank you.
That really is a lovely piece. I can’t believe someone just threw it out. I love the little built in dish which I assume was for cufflinks or whatever.
My first thought was ash tray (it's from the 30s, after all lol), but then I came to my senses and realized it is probably earnings or, like you said, cufflinks.
I respect that you allowed the piece to shine while not trying to hide it's age/history/stories. I view as imperfectly perfect. Every ding and scratch was earned. She's a beauty!
Thank you for not painting this beautiful piece! I've always been a fan of Art Deco. You did a wonderful job of returning the dignity to this piece of history.
As an antique/collectibles dealer for 61 yrs, i can truly appreciate your care & skill, & willingless to do it as right as possible; depending on the project in front of you. Sincere thank you for your attitude. Noah's Wife.
I laughed first at "good foot", then at "straight curve". (Good foot was an old James Brown song). I wish I still had my grandmother's furniture. It was like this piece; very well made. I'm so glad you used Odie's Oil on it. It is perfect for this piece.
Wow... that turned out beautifully. It actually ended up feeling like a contemporary piece, not vintage at all! I'd be honored to house that piece in my place. Great job!
Beautiful piece! Thanks for keeping it as close to original as you could. The best is always the original wood luster showing through. You are quite the artist!!❤❤❤❤❤
It’s sooo wonderful to see you save this old furniture. My relatives had furniture similar to this when I was a child - makes me sad because I’m sure most of it is gone. You are an artist and a hero.
This is a really beautiful outcome for this piece! I love, love, love that you don't stress about making it perfect and are not afraid to let your watchers know that sometimes it just isn't possible. Your videos are always worth watching - multiple times. Cheers!
I bought my first jar of Odies in August and am about 2/3 thru it. I love the smell, how great it makes the wood look, how it is non toxic and that I don’t have to take the time to do a poly coat on the wood. Well worth it and I sing it’s praises to everyone!
I LOVE that you recover damaged furniture, restoring finishes where possible, and save these pieces from the landfills (I really don't like those sites where someone paints furniture for the sake of painting). Keep up your wonderful work, and thank you so very much for teaching us!
You really brought that one back. It looked a little beyond saving, but shows what a lot of patience and skill can do. I really like that diagonal woodgrain that was on there. It makes it a real stand out, plus the original hardware. 🙂👍
Personally, I really like the dings and scratches in the piece and am glad you didn’t try to hide them. Like you said, it gives the piece character. It is such a beautiful, beautiful dresser. That Odie’s really works so well. I can’t believe some fool threw it out
Another thoroughly impressive save! Your superiority to other "experts" on the tubes is most evident, as always. I'm sure you've seen atrocities, too, so I won't belabor them.
This turned out amazing! Gives me hope for whenever I get around to refinishing my dresser set inherited from my grandparents. They have some water rings and lots of scratches from my grandpa being rough on them while he had Alzheimer's, but overall I think they can look fantastic again one day. ♥️
That is such a cool piece and those handles are amazing. I can't believe someone would treat it so badly then send it into the landfill. The dish inside the drawer seems like it could be a very high end piece. No matter what, you made it look beautiful once again. Great Job!
You are the Queen! Wow, this piece was in horrible shape and with your hard work, you transformed it into the piece it was. So so glad you didn’t paint it, but brought it back to its glory. Awesome job!
Completely blown away Angie!! So well done!! You can see all the pride & care you put into this piece in the staging pics.!!! Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
Angie that top is just stunning with the Odie’s oil. Watching the wood transform was really cool. Do you sell your pieces exclusively on FB Marketplace?
WOW. This turned out stunning! Beautiful work as always. Is there an “appropriate” use for the Odie’s oil vs. wax vs. wood butter? I’m so curious how to know which is best for a project! I’m dying to try their products!
Odie’s Oil actually has an incredibly in-depth website with answers to just about any question you could have so for questions specific to Odie's I send people there - odiesoil.com/. Under the Cornwall Training School heading there is a TON of information.
This piece is so beautiful, and deserves a second life! Job well done to you and your gorgeous supervisor!! Do you put anything on the brass hardware after cleaning away the tarnish?
Esse Odie's Universal Oil é "Milagroso", super maravilhoso, quem dera tivesse aqui no Brasil algo no mínimo similar. A cômoda ficou fantástica ...adorei!!! Beijos do Rio de Janeiro.
That is an amazing transformation. When a piece has been finished with Oddies Oil, how do you recommend the piece be maintained? Obviously regular dusting, but should you deeper clean it once a year, and if so do you need to reapply the oil or use something else?
I’m not quite sure how to tell you how much I enjoy your posts. You are so good at what you do and not afraid to say when you have made a mistake. I usually don’t like all the talking but your talking is valuable! Best I have seen and enjoyed!
Save this piece, more like resurect the poor baby from the dead!!! She is gorgeous!!! Thank you for seeing her true beauty and letting her shine again!!!
Such a classy piece; it's so good to find a furniture restorer who recognizes good furniture and doesn't just use chalk paint waay too liberally... good job!
I do a lot of full restorations but sometimes a bit of paint on lesser quality wood (and especially plastic laminate coated wood, or Formica) can keep something structurally sound from being tossed just because it’s a bit rough or dated cosmetically. But I like to restore certain woods whenever possible. 🙂
Absolutely well done, you have given that dresser a new lease of life, they last a life time, just love these old furniture, real wooden furniture, fantastic job love, 🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I painted an older fridge with Dixie Belle paint, thanks to watching your videos. I wish I could share a pic but it turned out wonderfully! And I got to support a local business buying the paint, in the process. I love your videos. Thank you for sharing!!!
What an absolute beauty! Don't you just love how back in the day makers made a piece more interesting by working with the wood grain, types, colors etc? You just needed some oil and you had a fabulous piece of furniture. Nowadays I pay extra to get the wood look and that is not even veneer, but printed plastic stuff 🙄. Also, gorgeous kitty!
WOW!!! I'm so glad that you restored this dresser, because it's a stunner!!! I also love that you kept the hardware. Things like a tie-tack holder usually indicate that a piece of furniture is quality and you definitely made this one fabulous again!!!
You are the furniture whisperer. Another magical transformation of a trash bound piece into a bright and shining star.
To think we almost lost this piece of art but along you came to the rescue. Thank you for that and the inspiration and knowhow you provided. So grateful.
Those drawer pulls are amazing, an Art Deco touch to a mid century piece, very clever and together they make a statement: "I'm one of a kind and I'm Beautiful!"
It looks very classy now, you did a great job as usual. You should be a brand ambassador for Odies 😄
Lulu is a total internet star baby! So gorgeous. Hanging out with the art deco cabinet just shows her impeccable good taste!
Loving these videos.
By the time you're finished with a piece, it just glows! Who could have imagined that beat up old dresser could be a thing of beauty? Great job, as always.
So glad you did not paint this piece, finish is absolutely gorgeous.
I was thinking the same thing.
Same!
I’m so glad you don’t try to make your pieces showroom perfect. I love the little imperfections that show the pieces have lived a life and have the scars to prove it ( don’t we all??). I hope to one day find a treasure beside the road and bring it back to life. You’re amazing, and my hero.
"( don’t we all??)" I said the same as she was telling us that. lol Who DOESN'T have a few along the way?
I enjoy your channel. You have a very pleasant voice and you always restore where possible unlike some other people who are too keen to paint a piece pink and cover it with sequins
What a transformation-well done !
I bought Odie’s oil because I love how it looks on your pieces. They should totally sponsor you.
As someone who would like to SOMEDAY start their furniture flipping journey, I can say that if I started with the 180 grit and still had scratches, my thinking would have been to get more aggressive and not less aggressive sand paper. Very much appreciate your wisdom and also very much enjoying your videos. Thanks for posting!
Yes, it’s a pretty common misconception! Unfortunately, it eats up the veneer way too fast- it’s a bit different on solid wood :-)
For a vintage piece, this dresser looks very modern. Beautiful job restoring this vintage piece.
Beautiful save of a vintage dresser.
I haven't seen a cufflink tray since I was a kid, in my father's dresser back in the 1960's. Brought back fond memories.
The wood whisperer works her magic!
Another awesome transformation! Love the different grains on the drawers and the linear detail on the cup pulls.
Angie, you never cease to amaze me....wow! Can't believe what people throw out. It's crazy in my neighborhood. People are constantly throwing things out similar to this.....I'm already teaching my kids what to look for. Furniture today just isn't made like this. Can't get the same value for the money today.
That finish Wow!
I can’t imagine anybody throwing that piece out. Thank you for including your fur baby so cute.
I love that you can talk about the piece, the wood and the era. I also like that you try to keep as much wood as possible.
Angie...everytime, you blow me away you are so talented. The best restorer on youtube by far.
Your the Pygmalion of furniture flippers ❤
Another STUNNING rescue and transformation. I'm not even shocked at what you accomplish anymore.
You’re one of the GOATS at this!!!
I am laughing so hard at myself right now! I was all in a huff and about to report this comment as unkind for calling a person a goat, and in all caps no less! Until I saw a very important person had actually "liked" it! I strained my brain and finally figured out it (probably) stood for "greatest of all times"! And that's absolutely true!!

I had no idea what GOATS meant until I read the comment here. 😂
I’m so happy you restored this beauty to its original look. It’s absolutely beautiful! Great job! 👏💙
Ever since I started watching these videos, I cannot help but notice all the old furniture sitting out for the dump! Amazing!
There's a lot of it isn't there?
You are an Inspiration! :)@@TranscendFurnitureGallery
Honestly, I don't think I'd want a piece like this to be perfect. With it's age came use, and you restored it with a realistic eye. This is so worth keeping for another 80 + years. Beautiful work.
Thank you so much! 🙂

That really is a lovely piece. I can’t believe someone just threw it out. I love the little built in dish which I assume was for cufflinks or whatever.
I was thinking change.
I was thinking beer
My first thought was ash tray (it's from the 30s, after all lol), but then I came to my senses and realized it is probably earnings or, like you said, cufflinks.
Maybe even a pocket watch or ladies watch?
Yes they are cufflink trays.
I was already jealous of your knowledge, skill and artistry; but now I'm jealous of your beautiful cat!
I respect that you allowed the piece to shine while not trying to hide it's age/history/stories. I view as imperfectly perfect. Every ding and scratch was earned. She's a beauty!
Thank you for not painting this beautiful piece! I've always been a fan of Art Deco. You did a wonderful job of returning the dignity to this piece of history.
Kitty is so beautiful! So is the piece. 😊
As an antique/collectibles dealer for 61 yrs, i can truly appreciate your care & skill, & willingless to do it as right as possible; depending on the project in front of you. Sincere thank you for your attitude. Noah's Wife.

Thank you very much!
Ode’s projects are by far my favorite 😍
The look is so beautiful and rich!
Thank you for not only saving but showing how you saved this,now,treasure .
This is a really beautiful outcome for this piece! I love, love, love that you don't stress about making it perfect and are not afraid to let your watchers know that sometimes it just isn't possible. Your videos are always worth watching - multiple times. Cheers!
Love how you transform a Dresser into a Treasure!!!!!!
Wow! You do such great work on these pieces! Beautiful! 😁
She’s so happy you saved her. Beautiful
I bought my first jar of Odies in August and am about 2/3 thru it. I love the smell, how great it makes the wood look, how it is non toxic and that I don’t have to take the time to do a poly coat on the wood. Well worth it and I sing it’s praises to everyone!
Thanks for the teaching on why you use the different grits of sandpaper.
It's absolutely beautiful.
And to think, this was retrieved from the trash! Amazing!
Wild isn't it? Thanks so much for watching!
Phenomenal job saving this piece!!
🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 68 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 ❤️ 🎀 ❤️ 🎀
I cannot believe the transformation of this dresser! The TOP of the dresser is an unreal transformation! WOW
Love how the tiny scratches add a little character!
Wow, what an incredible result. You put so much love and respect into this piece and it really shows.
I LOVE that you recover damaged furniture, restoring finishes where possible, and save these pieces from the landfills (I really don't like those sites where someone paints furniture for the sake of painting). Keep up your wonderful work, and thank you so very much for teaching us!
Beautiful! Natural wood tones, enhanced by the Odies with the original brass pulls shined up to new. Just a stunner 💙
You brought that poor baby back to life! Great job 👏🏽 as always!
You really brought that one back. It looked a little beyond saving, but shows what a lot of patience and skill can do. I really like that diagonal woodgrain that was on there. It makes it a real stand out, plus the original hardware. 🙂👍
Thank you rescuing this beauty from the landfill!! She deserves to live on!!
You do beautiful work!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✨
You're very welcome! 🙂
Beautiful job, Angie! I love the deco details and the change cup in the drawer. The wood is really beautiful.🌸
Really Outstanding Restoration!
I know it’s not yellow anymore, but it is restored to life. Someone will love it again.💙
Thanks so much for watching! 🙂
Personally, I really like the dings and scratches in the piece and am glad you didn’t try to hide them. Like you said, it gives the piece character. It is such a beautiful, beautiful dresser. That Odie’s really works so well. I can’t believe some fool threw it out
The new finish is a window to it's past life! So pretty Angie!!🌷🌷
So beautiful! It has a deco vibe. It is obvious that you love what you do.
What a transformation. You are a whizz. Beautiful 👏👏👏
Another thoroughly impressive save! Your superiority to other "experts" on the tubes is most evident, as always. I'm sure you've seen atrocities, too, so I won't belabor them.
Don’t let whoever put it in the trash see it now. They’ll want it back. Gorgeous.
This turned out amazing! Gives me hope for whenever I get around to refinishing my dresser set inherited from my grandparents. They have some water rings and lots of scratches from my grandpa being rough on them while he had Alzheimer's, but overall I think they can look fantastic again one day. ♥️
Wow Angie! It turned out gorgeous! It was in horrible shape, but I knew you could do it! You are the Queen my dear!
That is such a cool piece and those handles are amazing. I can't believe someone would treat it so badly then send it into the landfill. The dish inside the drawer seems like it could be a very high end piece. No matter what, you made it look beautiful once again. Great Job!
You are the Queen! Wow, this piece was in horrible shape and with your hard work, you transformed it into the piece it was. So so glad you didn’t paint it, but brought it back to its glory. Awesome job!

Angie that top is just stunning with the Odie’s oil. Watching the wood transform was really cool. Do you sell your pieces exclusively on FB Marketplace?
FB Marketplace and Instagram. instagram.com/transcendfurnituregallery/ Thank you so much for watching!
What a beauty! Wonderful to see such a lovely fine wood brought back ...
WOW. This turned out stunning! Beautiful work as always. Is there an “appropriate” use for the Odie’s oil vs. wax vs. wood butter? I’m so curious how to know which is best for a project! I’m dying to try their products!
Good question. Plus, is the finish kept up with lemon oil or something, later, or not?
Odie’s Oil actually has an incredibly in-depth website with answers to just about any question you could have so for questions specific to Odie's I send people there - odiesoil.com/. Under the Cornwall Training School heading there is a TON of information.
You have inspired us that we have transformed two pieces of antique pieces ourselves🙏🙏thank you and great job!!
This piece is so beautiful, and deserves a second life! Job well done to you and your gorgeous supervisor!! Do you put anything on the brass hardware after cleaning away the tarnish?
Gorgeous piece! And I LOVE LULU MUFFIN!
Esse Odie's Universal Oil é "Milagroso", super maravilhoso, quem dera tivesse aqui no Brasil algo no mínimo similar. A cômoda ficou fantástica ...adorei!!! Beijos do Rio de Janeiro.
Hell Of A Miracle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is an amazing transformation. When a piece has been finished with Oddies Oil, how do you recommend the piece be maintained? Obviously regular dusting, but should you deeper clean it once a year, and if so do you need to reapply the oil or use something else?
I would add to this: does it yellow over time and would it work on mcm walnut pieces?
From trash to treasure. Gorgeous 😍
I love the way you brought out the existing patterns and beauty of the wood rather than covering it over with opaque materials. Well done!
Thanks for watching!
Beautifully restored!!! You are truly an Artist!!
Beautiful! Vintage furniture always has character that tells a story. Never perfect but yet beautiful. 💜
Thank you so much!
So, so nice, Angie! Just love it! The Wood Gods are pleased!!
Wow! What satisfaction you must feel turning something discarded into such a Gem!!!
I love that you restored it to its original look instead of painting it.
I’m not quite sure how to tell you how much I enjoy your posts. You are so good at what you do and not afraid to say when you have made a mistake. I usually don’t like all the talking but your talking is valuable! Best I have seen and enjoyed!
Wow, thank you!
Save this piece, more like resurect the poor baby from the dead!!! She is gorgeous!!! Thank you for seeing her true beauty and letting her shine again!!!
Might just be the most impressive one yet. Another fine job well executed.
I love that someone just threw this out and you made it beautiful
Such a classy piece; it's so good to find a furniture restorer who recognizes good furniture and doesn't just use chalk paint waay too liberally... good job!

Makes me wonder how many didn't end up in good hands. Such a handsome piece. At the beginning I thought no way but you tricked me, awesome job.
Stunning. The hardware looks so good. Another beautiful job Angie.
What an absolute beauty! Don't you just love how back in the day makers made a piece more interesting by working with the wood grain, types, colors etc? You just needed some oil and you had a fabulous piece of furniture. Nowadays I pay extra to get the wood look and that is not even veneer, but printed plastic stuff 🙄.

I’ve watched 4 projects today and enjoyed each.
Love that you kept some of the scratches, it shows the story of the piece 👌
....you are living the dream!
Wow. What a wonderful rescue. It is beautiful.
