- I am pleased to be part of another awesome UGLY DUCKLING CHALLENGE, hosted by DESERT DIY (Cory). @DesertDIY
I'll attach a link to the whole playlist below, as there are quite a few other channels participating!
PLAYLIST: • Winter 2022 Ugly Duckl...
The goal is to find the ugliest furniture possible and make it AMAZING! Well.. SPOILER ALERT... things don't always go as planned and if you've seen my other videos, you KNOW that I don't run from a challenge. This one, however... this one broke me. 🤣 I had to walk away from a piece for the first time in a LONG time, but I still wanted to put out SOMETHING for this, so I started working on a different piece that had its own set of issues. This second piece was a GORGEOUS makeover, even if it wasn't at all what I wanted for this particular challenge.

The green dresser wasn't a fail, that thing was dangerous and toxic! Love, love your transformation of the 2nd choice! Wood with black is a classic look especially with the brass fittings!
Totally agree!
Not to mention that you DID save that beautiful hardware from the dump.
Wow!!!! Gorgeous!!! Such a great artist!! I’m
I rarely post comments, but today just needed to! I've been watching your channel for about 6 months now, and you quickly became my favorite furniture rehab place. You are simply an artistic genius in my opinion and this piece is beyond stunning. I've even sent your videos to friends who also refinish and they are properly in awe as well. Your attention to every last detail is what impresses us. Keep up doing what you do. We're all hooked! Love this piece.
Aw, thank you Jayne!
Totally agree. Plus the video production and narration - you have such a pleasant voice.
Out of everyone that I follow for furniture transformations, and I follow a lot of people….you are, by far, my favorite! I learn so much from your projects, and the quality of your work is outstanding. Now when I come across an issue on a piece that I’m working on, I ask myself….. “What would Angie do?” Thank you for sharing your amazing talent, and maybe one day, I will be half as good as you are. Can I ask what those “artist markers” are? That would be an excellent tool, to have on hand! 😊
I agree. I probably follow every YT furniture flipper out there, and she is in my top 5.
I agree! It comes as no surprise that she's got a professional art background. Her color palettes are amazing.
Yes, Angie and Barry from Mad City Modern. Now I'm going to have to check out the Desert DYI channel.
@@debmc2291 Yup - Angie, Barry and Mr Dashner are my go-to guys for my weekly furniture inspiration... But Angie is my fave...
Tombow Markers
Very nice! My dad always taught me that quality wood should never be painted, but your channel has shown me how appropriate it can be in some instances.
Yes, I’m quite selective. Some wood just shines on its own, even when imperfect and I couldn’t imagine painting certain pieces!
It looks so beautiful and would look so good in any setting. A small request, would you linger with the filming of the finished piece a little longer. It gives chance to feel all the hard work and see the sheer beauty of what you have achieved. Thank you. Xxx
I'd add to that request, please back up and show the whole thing first and longer, before the up-close details.
In my new workspace (I’m currently redoing my workroom), I’ll have a bit more room to maneuver so should be able to take some “after” video instead of only still shots. Mainly just an issue of only having so much room (and thus only so many angles from which to film). That should get better in the new space as I’ll have a longer wall to stage on. :-)
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery you can always do the "Ken Burns effect" of the slow pan on a still image.
Yes, we want longer "afters".
You're a wizard painter. I would spend days trying to get that spot to color match and not get it to look that good. Just amazing. Love the black paint and how it amplifies the wood tones. It draws the eye perfectly to the beautiful veneer. Also that hemp oil pour into the drawer shot - so satisfying!
It was so frustrating but I’m glad I kept trying. lol
Art background for the win
Something that comes across so clearly in every single one of your videos is how much you care about what you're doing, which extends to carefully explaining your decisions. I've spent countless hours watching furniture renovations of all kinds, & no one explains their choices quite like you. I've learned so much. Thank you, times a few thousand.
I usually prefer all wood, but the black paint just emphasizes the beauty of the wood here.
Beautiful outcome, very classy and elegant IMO! The black paint accents the wood perfectly and really makes the grain of the drawer fronts stand out. Too bad about the first dresser but you saved those unique pulls which I look forward to seeing on something else in the future! ☺️💖👍
What does one say when “Oooooh!”,
“Ahhhhh!”, “WOW!!!” seem totally inadequate? Just gorgeous, Angie! Gorgeous! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️‼️‼️‼️
I like that you aren't a purist of any kind. Your designs are a perfect mix!
I like that too!
1) I don’t consider the first piece a fail because you have that amazing hardware! 2) Thank you for showing the fixes. I’m more likely to consider taking on a broken piece after seeing how you’ve fixed the broken bits. 3) the black paint beautifully frames the drawers and makes the different wood on the top and sides less obvious. 4) The end result on the spot on the top is truly amazing!!!👏
Thank you- I was sooo happy about the hardware. Still killed me putting it out to the curb though, haha. I like to save as many as I can. :-(
It came out stunning! Sometimes when you’re working so close to a project you see all the imperfections. But when you step back it’s beautiful.
That definitely true. I forget that sometimes.
98.9K subscribers! Outstanding Angie!👏👏
Angie, I could watch & learn from you all day. I always learn something. You have an amazing eye & classic taste! Thank you!
A few things I appreciate about your videos: you thoroughly explain why you're doing what you do, you treat each piece of furniture as an individual piece of art and let it's own individuality guide your choices(some pieces are better painted, and some are better being restored, I 1000% agree with you there), you show us mistakes you make and then explain how to fix or work around those mistakes (one of the biggest reasons to not just fast forward to the end reveal, I don't want to miss any of the little nuggets of wisdom you drop), you have an outstanding attention to the details (like inside the drawers or underneath/behind the furniture), you film and edit your videos expertly, and to top it all off- you have a pleasant voice to listen to.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that the work you do is appreciated, inspiring, and educational. I look forward to seeing more in the future.
This comment is amazing! Thank you so much for this!
Agree! She is not a cheap furniture flipper. She does the detailed repair work the right way.
I am amazed by this transformation (as I always am). The black sections bring out the piece's quality and beauty. Your art skills make a huge difference here.
Thank you so much!
The green piece needed to go in the dumpster, so you didn't fail. The other dresser came out fabulous 🤩. I'm not a total purest, but like you I'd rather see older pieces finished back to their glory days. You made that piece shine. Love watching you do your work.
Hey Angie, You use Odie’s solvent here and you frequently use other low VOC products. Less volatile products and allergies would make a good topic for a video.
This piece came out beautiful. The black was a great complement to the mahogany.
I agree. The chemical smells really disable me and keep me from doing a lot of this work.
CLASSIC BIEDERMEIER LOOK. FANTASTIC!
Not everyone can step away like that. I find that getting away from a frustration gives me time to figure out the answer. Such a beautiful piece. You also have some really unique hardware for $25.
Angie your work is second to none. You are so meticulous and knowledgeable. This dresser is stunning and elegant.
The finished product made my mouth drop open! What an incredible outcome. I admire your patience and creativity!
That's why I like your Chanel, sometimes you paint sometimes you don't.
BEAUTIFUL! Wow. Just. WOW!
Some of your pieces in their ‘before’ state give me such negative visceral reactions- it actually makes me laugh how strongly I dislike some of them due to their weird-plastic finish or, in the case of the ‘fail’, the contact paper. That’s something I very much appreciate about you & others: you can see beyond those things and find the diamonds in the rough! Either completely transforming the piece or taking the hardware and calling it when a piece has served its time and needs to end its furniture journey!!! So amazing.
Aww I love this comment so much!
The piece that got an 'F' has those wonderful pulls on them! They're an A+ :)
Thanks so much! I'm glad you like them!
This is so gorgeous. Love the wood grain pattern on the drawer fronts.
Angie, I drool over all your finished pieces ... seriously! You are a magician! And this one is gorgeous! Love it!😍😍😍
I`ve had a dresser similar to this one that I started on 3 months ago. I too try to stay away from painting a wood piece unless I have no choice or I feel a hankering to paint. :-) I stained the top, drawers and sides and have been struggling on what color to paint the trim around the dresser and in between the drawers. I can`t tell you how many times I stood in front of the dresser, trying to imagine which paint would look good. I even considered staining it but I knew with all the wood filler I had to use, the stain job would look splotchy and I just couldn`t bring myself to do that. Your video cleared the cobwebs out of my creative mind and a paint decision was made. Your piece turned out absolutely beautiful. I`m hoping I will have the same results. Thank you!!!
The black paint absolutely makes the wood fronts pop. Beautiful!
Absolutely stunning! Love the black and Odie’s on the wood. One of my favorite pieces that you have done!👏👏
Black paint and wood are my absolute favorite look.
You never cease to amaze me with your transformations. 🥰
‘It isn’t perfect’ Huh? Looks perfect to me!
Wow! That came out spectacularly. Giiii!
Another stunner! One of my favorite things about your work is the balance you create in pieces that you combine painted and natural wood surfaces. The addition of that little bit of black dresses this piece up like it’s ready for a night out in a classy piano bar. 🙂 Timeless and classy!
Wow! A Master Piece.
Thanks so much!
Great job, again! A sage woodworker told me years ago, the wood will tell you what it wants to be. So if it wants to be painted, the piece will speak to you. Keep those videos coming, I have done a few pieces and can't wait for the weather to break to get started again!!!! You have taught me some great tricks!
Oh my word,,,,,,you are definitely the winner,,,,it’s Gorgeous
Your use of paint is astounding! Your piece always turns out amazing.
Oh my goodness that dresser is stunning 😍.
Just when I thought you couldn't top your previous transformations, I'm once again left with my jaw hanging open. What a gift you have for over-the-top furniture turnarounds!!
Generally I'm a wood purist, but I really think there's nothing better than a beautiful Federal piece refreshed with a touch of paint. I think the style just lends itself to it-- It looks so effortlessly beautiful. Masterfully done!
Thank you! I definitely am choosy about where and when I paint. I felt like this just needed a little “something”, especially with so many different types of grain and tones . :-)
Ahhh! Your artist background explains so much. No wonder your pieces always turn out beautiful. You are one of the few furniture rehabbers on You Tube who can pull off a combination of paint and wood in a piece. Gorgeous!
Looks like a brand new modern piece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sandable clear epoxy works as well when you have a shallow crack and are going to sand and paint a piece not for staining for staining mix the wood glue with some wood sawdust from the piece and then put on the crack clamp it together dry sand and stain
that sounds brilliant!
I think you do good work and some of it to make it look better and they're also antique so they're built different each individual antique is built different some is made out of real wood and some is not like you said but I make furniture out of wood sometimes I get Antiques and I really don't know what to do with them because if they're not wood I'm not sure so that's why think that you do a very good job you should be praised for it thank you so much not all people can do what you can keep it up
You are amazing. I love the black and wood combination.
That’s gorgeous! The hardware looks amazing & the whole piece is absolutely beautiful. Your repair to the damaged top is very, very good. The wood grain is lush and the black detailing really makes it pop. I’m out of superlatives but I meant every one. Thanks Angie, best wishes & have a good week. From Annie, in Cornwall, UK . 🌸
I really think that painting part of the piece black made the woodtones pop so much more, and I’m happy I’m not the only one who’s nor on the “only-wood” sid , neither on the “only paint side. Loved it!
Absolutely gorgeous transformation! Your work with the white area turned out great 👏🏻 I love how knowledgeable you are. You are always my favorite furniture artist to watch 😊
Wow.. black and timber always looks fantastic
I love how you blended that spot using art markers - brilliant! Another stunning piece!
I love watching your videos with a cup of coffee and a chocolate chip cookie, happy sunday
Snaaaacks! :-)
The paint gives this piece a nice contrast. The work on the stain was nicely done! My wife and I enjoy your channel!
That piece is so stunning. I could cry.....I want that. Stunning.
The green mistake was worth its value in hardware.
100 percent! That’s definitely the only reason I paid anything at all for it, haha!
What a gorgeous piece! The black paint is an excellent foil for the mahogany. I love that you respect rather than worship the wood; purism is overrated. I totally appreciate your knowledge and skills, so many levels above a "furniture flipper". Keep up the good work!
The beauty here is the minimal use of black as a contrast, allowing the wood to shine. You would normally see this all black except the top and drawer faces. Less is more. Top job.
Thank you so much for watching!
the oil inside the drawer seriously makes that grain and colour shine as it goes on. This whole piece is incredible but you always do amazing work
Pretty. Love how the black makes the wood pop. But I love that it’s mostly wood. Can’t cover up the great craftsmanship.
The wood grain on those drawers just flows in such beautiful waves and honestly that patch in the top almost mimics the darker sections on the front. This is just such a lovely piece.
Thank you so much for watching! 😀
Love how the final piece turned out!!
That turned out so well. Drop. Dead. Gorgeous.
Ok one more thing lol I totally agree with your opinion on painting certain pieces. There’s nothing wrong with painting an any piece that YOU choose to paint or not paint. It’s your project, your time and YOUR decision. So don’t feel bad or feel like you have to explain the choices and decisions on your projects. Bc what you do ALWAYS turns out to be Gorgeous and tasteful and classy.
Whoooaaaa…..just…stunning.
I love the black and wood combination. Just beautiful!
Angie, it is absolutely gorgeous.
Oooo....those drawer fronts are stunning.
Thank you so much!
Oh.
My.
Goodness.
That is A-MAZING!
You did a phenomenal job!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Oh my goodness. What a beauty. Bit of tlc and voila. Totally perfect. I must admit the green duckling piece was a scarey bit of furniture. Go go bunnies x
I loved seeing the water bottle cap turned into a pallet. That looked like something I would do. Beautiful piece!
“Transcend” is the word for your work!
Fabulous. You done good girl. I love it.
Thank you!!
I absolutely ADORE black paint and stain together. I think that has to be my most favorite look. So classy1
Thank you very much!
Wow. It’s stunning. My jaw dropped.
Pieces just come to life in your hands. Great transformation!
Normally I personally dislike paint on mahogany furniture, but this black paint, and Woodbridge is fantastic!
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Just.....wow. Turned our so pretty. Love when the glue squishes out because it means a good contact.
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
The only fails are not trying. Your art work on the top is just amazing. Another beautiful piece🤘🏼🤍
So beautiful! ❤
Thank you!
That is crazy. What a difference. What I enjoy alot is seeing your color, stain combinations. Well done.
As much as the final reveals are stunning, my favorite part of the videos is always the repairs and sanding--all the work leading up to the oiling, etc. So fascinating and creative in its own way.
Thanks for watching!
There is no doubt you do outstanding work, but I want you to know how relaxing I find your voice to be. I find myself looking forward to hearing speak. Your voice is so serene.
Ridiculously gorgeous!
Those handles are awesome. The second piece is absolutely stunning!!
Angie, you have become my new “rabbit hole”. I can watch your videos all day. I can’t express how valuable and timely this particular one is for me. My mother loved to refinish furniture, had a great eye for quality pieces, and had a dresser and highboy in the George Hepplewhite school from 1951 that she lovingly refinished at least two, if not three times over the years. The last go at it was in the late ‘70’s or perhaps early ‘80’s painted in an avocado color, antiqued with who knows what, and the veneer top finished with some sort of a Jacobean stain which looks perfect to this day (other than a few cigarette burns🙀). I recently toyed with selling the two pieces, but sentiment prevailed and I decided to try and bring the top back to a more natural state and lighten up the rest of the piece with one of the Fusion whites., adding antiquing glaze or perhaps aging wax to highlight the fluting on the frame and legs. After seeing this video I realize that these beautiful pieces need to be stripped naked before deciding on how to proceed. Her care, and perhaps painting over the years totally preserved the integrity of the pieces. They were always used in her master suite, I’ve continued the tradition. Although I never loved them, I appreciate the exquisite craftsmanship and can’t let go without trying to bring them into the 21st century. You’ve provided the inspiration to not just “slap some paint on them”, but to honor their bones. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Those stain …. I struggle with those to colour match. Great job 👏 came out very nice 👌
Ahhh Angie...this piece is stunning 🥰 beautiful job as always
Heavens to Betsy's! Beautiful!
That hardware was totally worth the purchase on that hot mess!
You did an amazing job! You didn’t just give up, you kept going. The piece is beautiful! In the south if we have a spot on the furniture, you just put a doily on it, or a dresser scarf. Yep, those are real words! Thanks for showing so many techniques.
You never fail Angie.
Haha, aww you’re sweet. I definitely failed the challenge on this one, though. lol but don’t worry- I have another one to show so there is a big dramatic reveal as always. Haha. :-)
Green dresser was junk! You got the best part - the handles!!
Your dresser is Gorgeous!!! Wow!! You truly are an artist, and you never give up on a worthwhile project!! Yay, You!!
Worth it for that hardware right? Thanks so much for watching!
Wow!!! Just WOW!! Beautiful wood. This piece is absolutely gorgeous.
Perfect combination of wood and paint. The black really highlights the beautiful drawer veneer. It turned out beautiful!
Thank you so much! 😊
I love this so much that I’m basing my entire lounge room around this piece. There’s a lot of work in front of me but I have an upright piano that’s been in the family for 70 years and has the same black trim.
wow! i never get tired of this wood/paint combination.
The veneer on the drawers is exquisite. You really brought that out.
I am a wood purist, and I generally don't enjoy painted furniture. That being said, I love the time and care you put into your pieces, and every last one of them has just turned out beautiful. I really enjoy seeing your videos and watching how much love and attention you put into each piece. Keep up the good work!
Thank you David! I really do try to keep as much of the natural wood as possible in most cases. The exceptions being where there is considerable damage, if it’s a lower quality wood, or if a piece can be well complimented with a bit of paint. I don’t generally like to unless I need to. :-) I’m so glad you stopped by and said hello! :-)
Every time I watch one of your videos I am amazed by the patience you display with every detail for each piece. Excellent job!
But you have those beautiful drawer pulls! I love watching you work with every piece so thoughtfully recreated into another beautiful swan!
bravo 👏
what an incredible difference
10,000 times better than the before
