    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!"

    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.

    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 :-)

    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.

    @burghbrat3319 3 роки тому +2

    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.

    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!

      @TranscendFurnitureGallery  5 місяців тому

      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. 🙂

    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?
