THANK YOU! Thank you for not making them *modern,* for not making the contrast screaming black, for not replacing the pulls, for not spraying them with gold paint, and for bringing these beauties back to life. Such gorgeous work!
There are some things that should absolutely be modernized to ensure they remain in use. Designers back then made mistakes too. But there are also some pieces, like these, that just look SO much better refreshed, and as the designer intended.
The fact that you celebrated the beauty of a tree that was felled 100 years ago brings tears to my eyes. Absolutely stunning and a fitting tribute to the material of which it is made. Can’t see the patch at all. Wow, have you got skills!!!! I continue to be blown away by your work.
I’m at a loss for words to describe how beautiful these night stands are now. Your artistry and attention to detail makes every piece that you redo, outstanding.
"Jaw dropping" is not an exaggeration - the wood grain on the fronts of the drawers is astonishing, and mirror-like. They were beautifully made, so congratulations on giving these pieces the second wind they truly deserved. They are stunning, and your craftsmanship is impeccable.
What you did with these is perfection! The veneer is so beautiful and the graining is almost luminous! It draws you in. I love your work and love the fact that you respect the beauty, artistry and vision of the original designs. Thank you for honoring what’s there. Everything doesn’t have to be modernized.
Whoever made the original furniture piece must be looking down smiling and saying "What a great job restoring them! Thanks for taking the time to do that" 😁
This vanity looks so much like part of my grandmother’s 1920’s bedroom suite! I’m so glad you were able to restore the wood. Your skill at matching the color and wood grain, was in evidence once again. Absolutely beautiful work. I’m sure you will agree, that this wouldn’t have come out as well, without your helper. His tapping your hand to remind you of “Lefty loosie, righty tightness”, was such sound advice!
I think one can never go wrong restoring to the original aesthetic. Art Deco lends itself to virtually any period of the last hundred years and what a beautiful restoration this is.
This is one of the most beautiful outcomes you have done.(that I've seen) I absolutely love these. First of all the 1930's style of course, but what you did was nothing short of a miracle! I am 77 years old and I remember this type of furniture in my Grandmother's home. However, her brand new furniture didn't come anywhere near the beautiful finish you gave them! Thank you so much for appreciating old furniture and working so hard to not just refinish it, but restore it! You are an Artist!!!❤😊
Although this isn’t my favourite genre of furniture style, I love how they turned out! You were right, not to paint, but to maintain the beautiful grain. What a lot of work! you did so well.
Your respect for the history of furniture was the first trait I noticed. Then I saw your attention to detail and mad skills and I immediately subscribed. This transformation is amazing! In my opinion brand new furniture is highly overrated. Few if any new pieces will last 20-25yrs. These nightstands have had a long life. Thanks to you they are starting a new chapter. Well done!
Welcome to my channel! I agree with you on the newer furniture, they are not made like they used to be AND we're so quick to throw things away. We've got to do a better job with this planets resources. Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you, you did an amazing job, great work on that patched draw. They don’t make furniture like this anymore. I know old furniture isn’t all that popular at the moment, but I love it, and it will make a come back. Watching from Australia 🇦🇺
These turned out BEAUTIFULLY!! I'm so glad you didn't paint them, but instead brought them back as close as possible to what they originally looked like. Much appreciated from a fan of this Era!! ❤️
I had a vanity like this when I was a kid. This was back in the 1970's, and it was not considered vintage or antique at the time. It was considered 'old and outdated.' But, during the time I spent with that particular piece, I fell in love with art deco furniture because of the curvilinear design and the gorgeous veneers and inlaid wood that so many examples from that era have. You've done a beautiful job of bringing these two back to their former glory. It was a real pleasure to watch!
Oh. My. Gosh. How beautiful !!! Thank you for saving and restoring them to their former glory! Maybe they won’t fetch much now but you have enabled future generations to appreciate art deco style! ❤
Your love & respect for these deco pieces, coupled with your thoughtful & helpful commentary make this a most enjoyable video lesson. Your work and choices are perfect for these found treasures. Well done!
I think what makes you such a special craftsperson and artist, is your innate sense of vision of how to bring out the best qualities of each piece you refinish. I think you did exactly what these two pieces deserved to bring out their true beauty, without compromising their style or original character. They look stunning! Also, Nacho is just the cutest!
I very rarely comment on the many videos I see but I must commend you on such a wonderful restoration of these pieces. Those same pieces could have been restored by countless TH-camrs but, I seriously doubt ANYONE else would have gotten such an incredible result! I am so very impressed and inspired. You excelled on this and hope someone paid all the money to enjoy these in their home!
So beautiful! I love watching these transformations because you do such a meticulous job and are so sweet about the work. Gentle teaching, never egoic lecturing! While you are 100% entitled to an opinion I really appreciate your low key approach. Thank you Angie for your WONDERFUL content! TFG is so soothing to watch.
These are absolutely gorgeous. I love this era of furniture design and appreciate that you maintained the original style and didn't try to modernize it. The finish and the contrast are beautiful. 👍🏾❤️
I love how you always keep as close to the original as possible. Your attention to detail is unsurpassed. The patch in the veneer was amazing. I enjoy hearing you explain as you go along. Another example of your perfectionism resulting in the finished product. Outstanding!
The transformation is astonishing! I'm so glad you restored them back to their former glory, instead of painting them. Your patience and attention to detail is exemplary. In short, your work is absolutely amazing. Thank you for posting this video!
These end tables are GORGEOUS! I love that you kept them as they originally would have looked, like art deco furniture should look like! You did a fantastic job! It’s a good thing I live far away, or my husband would be upset with me buying your furniture!😂
I absolutely love the original art deco era of furniture everything was so beautifully and painstakingly crafted. I have a curved door for my master bedroom and whenever “tradies” come to the house and see that door they always stop to admire the craftsmanship and marvel at the carpenters of the past and how they achieved such beauty.
Thank you! I have been to a ton of auctions and I have never seen vanities sell. They often get passed. I think turning them into end tables is an act of love.
They might be art deco, but they look chic and not out of place for a modern bedroom. I love them! You have given them back their grace and self respect. Awesome job Angie x
Oh Angie, it would have been a crime to cover up that stunning woodgrain with paint! You did such an amazing job - you have resurrected those nightstands - they are absolutely to die for. What a labour of love, all that effort so hugely rewarded! Of course, all credit to Nacho too for being the project manager & keeping the priorities in the right order!! He is adorable. 💝
These are absolutely stunning. How lucky these two "grannies" met up with you. You didn't try to give them a face lift and turn them into something they are not. You respected their age and history, and the beauty within. Wow. Just wow. I wish I lived closer as I'd be telling my spouse we were getting new "old" nightstands. Art deco is my favorite era for all fashion. Love, love, love these.
"Love you too dear girl!" I really am searching for superlatives to express my appreciation for your beautiful work. Those tables are incredibly beautiful. I'm a great admirer of Art Deco and I'm so happy you stayed traditional with these tables. Kuddos to Nacho for all his help; please give him a big hug and kiss from Aunt Vivian (and your other babies too). So glad I found you; stay well.
These are absolutely stunning! I’m so glad you restored them to their original glory. They’re perfect as you’ve done them. Any modernizing would have been a crime. I love your work, and this set in particular brings joy to my heart. Please do more like this. Seeing this transformation and restoration is a balm for the weary soul.
Oh, my... that wood grain is gorgeous! It looks almost layers of translucent wood veneer and amber. Outstanding! I know this took a lot of time, but the final appearance is amazing. Thanks for rescuing these beautiful pieces.
I don't often comment, but I just have to thank you for your beautiful work. Every time I watch one of your restoration videos, the end product literally brings tears to my eyes. This one is no exception - it is just a stunning end result.
Having worked as a picker for years, i've seen a lot of waterfall-style furniture, but i've never seen a restoration to match this. I was never fond of the style, but damn, you may have changed my mind. They're stunning! Heck with your detractors - you know what you're doing and you never seem to make a misstep in your style decisions. Great work!
Just beautiful! So glad you restored the wood and didn't just paint them. Worth every bit of your time and effort. And Nacho sure is becoming a great helper!
I love the wood furniture. I prefer it over painted furniture most of the time. I’m in awe over the patience and detail you use in your work. Fantastic result.
Art deco isn’t a style I personally prefer, but these turned out incredible! Your skill and attention to detail is truly remarkable, and I continue to be amazed by your dedication to giving every piece the love it deserves.
I love watching you work to bring the pieces back to life. As to keeping it as they were intended or making them more modern, well ... I think you should always follow your heart, what you love to do most. And I agree totally that keeping them in the 'old' style works best, the wood is so gorgeous.
OHMYGOSH Angie....they are beautiful!!!!! I love that you restored them to their original splendor and not made them modern. You are an artist in wood restoration and I'm blessed to have found your channel and see you return pieces to their former glory....❤
Absolutely gorgeous!! Your ability to see what these lost pieces could be and the patience to bring them back to life is just amazing, Such a wonderful talent that you share with us.💕🌺🌸
5 months late...you did a wonderful job. I love how they turned out. You did a beautiful job. My mother had a dresser with a huge mirror and a chest of drawers that match your two night stands. Love seeing antiques and people like you to repair them and bring them back to glory!!! ❤
Angie, your work is stellar. The pieces come to you crying "Make me pretty again...please" and you do, even if you must use paint. 😉 Even if I had artistic talent I wouldn't have thought to do the restorations in this way. They're just glorious and I wouldn't change a thing. The way you engineered the veneer patches so perfectly is artistry. Oh and as always, I love your music. Bravo, Angie! You're amazing, and your fans love you, too!
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery Of course! I never miss one. There's only one problem with your content... there's not enough of it! I yearn to see more of you and am always excited when when I see a new post. 💕 🐈 🐾
Beautiful restoration. It seems like most people take the easy way out and stress paint the furniture. 😤 You take the time and let the beauty shine through as was intended. Bravo! 👏
This is the way to go… bring back to life as it was back in the days. Every time I see good art deco, I am thinking about the old cruise liners. Bring in some good jazz and you are good to go!
I really love watching a great craftperson --really, an artist--do this work. Such a pleasure to hear how your skill, judgment, and taste come into play. And the results--wow. Hats off.
Simply gorgeous! I was worried early that you would paint but so relieved you didn't. I view painting as a last resort or if it's a laminate, paint can really enhance the item. I like that you explain what you are doing and why-so informative. Just beautiful! Thank you
This is not a restoration, it is a resurrection! Beautiful work! I don't mind painted furniture, but this pair is made to be admired in its original beauty.
Great patching! Great office space! Any piece of furniture from before 1950 deserves to have an original finish restored. Art Deco was a great time for design. And finally, you're so lucky to have such a wonderful helper. 😺
I have to disagree with that as a general statement. Some things should definitely be restored. But much like modern day designers, olden day designers sometimes got things wrong. Or the items were not taken care of properly and are destroyed. Or just aren’t practical anymore and end up in landfills. Being useful, for me, sometimes trumps being fully restored. So I consider each piece individually, rather than the idea that every single piece of mediocre furniture needs restoration. THESE pieces though- these are a no-brainer for me. That wood grain is out of this world!
OMG Angie you did an AMAZING job! You brought these sad babies back to their original beauty! I'm so happy you didn't make them modern. It kills me that someone butchered an Art Deco vanity but I realize they're out of fashion right now. They're gorgeous and I'm glad they will live on for many more years!
Unfortunately no one has room or use for the older vanities now and they get tossed and thrown into the landfill. If splitting them up saves them, I have to support it. Thanks for watching!
The final reveal actually brought tears to my eyes. I've done furniture refurbishing and repair and have never painted a single piece. I get so involved in what I'm doing I sometimes feel that the wood is telling me what it wants to be. I love working with wood. I greatly appreciate what you do and the care and skill involved. Thank you for what you do and for sharing with us.
These are perfection, Angie! They make me think of traveling on a luxurious train in the 1930s, in one of the beautiful private cabins. The two-tone effect is gorgeous. I love the contrast. It sets off both the woodgrain and the trim details. You have done an amazing job.🌸
These are lovely, Angie! It must be so satisfying to rescue these pieces and give them new life! I love your attention to detail- that golden grain when you applied the Odie's Oil was breathtaking! Thanks for sharing!
Honestly, fhis video brought tears to my eyes. Your love in restoring these paid so much respect to the original maker. I hope whoever owns these will feel the love and positive energy put into these pieces. Well done ❤d
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery - These turned out AMAZING!! I'm betting that you've been called The wood whisperer more than once!! As this is my first time to your channel, may I ask if viewers can purchase these items, or do you have an online store? Again, great job!! 🙂
Just prior to this I watched a guy rip a piece apart with unsuitable tools (too narrow) and he did so much needless damage which he didn't mind at all. What a thug- and I'm watching through my fingers. But his lady was such a joy to watch! (Men are actually super-sensitive and caring with wood- so it was weird seeing that other channel!)

Hi Angie! Happy Sunday to you and your fam! Holyyyyyy smokessssss!!! That is one gorgeous restoration! ❤ I am a huge fan of your work. I think I may have said that before, but no joke, every single restoration never fails to amaze. The pieces come to life not only of themselves but the energy and love they receive is evident. I have watched many restoration videos…enough to say that i don’t often sigh with satisfaction when the reveal is made, that is until I see one of your pieces revealed. Fantastic job as always. Oh and Nacho… he’s the best helper🥰🥰🥰!!!
These pieces are so beautiful!! the luster you brought out of the wood is stunning, and they are such unique art pieces now. Thank you so much for saving them from a landfill, and giving them new life, and for sharing your process with all of us. Thank you, also, for all of the love and hard work you put into this and the other projects you do. The world is richer for your efforts.
First time I watch you. I'm in awe. I wouldn't have thought these pieces could look as spectacular as they do by not painting and just keeping them with the original look. You are seriously talented.
These side tables were so lucky you found them. They were so sad looking and you've given them so much life! I love all your choices, you did a fabulous job. You're so inspiring, I really admire how much effort you put into each piece that you take on. I love this channel, your work, Nacho, and all you do to save things - not just save but return to glory, lol. Well done, keep up the good work.
The Art Deco nightstands turned out to be so beautiful. My grandparent’s had a set of matching Art Deco pieces for their bedroom. Am in my seventies now, and as I recall so similar to the design of your nightstands. On each nightstand were Maxfield Parish type lamps of about 12” tall, made if ceramic aqua naked ladies holding glass veils with outstretched arms. We all thought the pair of lamps to be rather risqué for our prudish grandparents, but were a perfect match for the Art Deco bedroom set. Thank you. Lovely pieces that brought back long ago memories.
So gorgeous! I absolutely love that you kept true to the original finish; I love the art deco waterfall shape and the wood just glows after this restoration. I wish I lived in your area; I would buy these in a heartbeat. Also, I'm glad that you are finally putting Nacho to work. With his opposable thumbs, there is no reason he can't help you fish cords in your new office.
These are exquisite! If I didn’t already have night stands I love, I would be trying to figure out how I could get these. You really brought them to life! You honored their roots stylistically and made them so that anyone would be proud to show them off. Also, can I just say what a fantastic job you did with replacing the large veneer chip. Not only matching the grain as much as possible, but also when you used the grain “ink” to color it to match. Booked veneer brings its own set of special difficulties and you triumphed!
THANK YOU! Thank you for not making them *modern,* for not making the contrast screaming black, for not replacing the pulls, for not spraying them with gold paint, and for bringing these beauties back to life. Such gorgeous work!

There are some things that should absolutely be modernized to ensure they remain in use. Designers back then made mistakes too. But there are also some pieces, like these, that just look SO much better refreshed, and as the designer intended.
I wholeheartedly concur with Molly 😊😊 Angie, you worked your magic again - these stands look fabulous !!
Amen!
Oh yes, beautiful! 🤗👍💖
The fact that you celebrated the beauty of a tree that was felled 100 years ago brings tears to my eyes. Absolutely stunning and a fitting tribute to the material of which it is made. Can’t see the patch at all. Wow, have you got skills!!!! I continue to be blown away by your work.
Thanks so much for watching!
I’m at a loss for words to describe how beautiful these night stands are now. Your artistry and attention to detail makes every piece that you redo, outstanding.

"Jaw dropping" is not an exaggeration - the wood grain on the fronts of the drawers is astonishing, and mirror-like. They were beautifully made, so congratulations on giving these pieces the second wind they truly deserved. They are stunning, and your craftsmanship is impeccable.
Wow, thank you very much!
What you did with these is perfection! The veneer is so beautiful and the graining is almost luminous! It draws you in. I love your work and love the fact that you respect the beauty, artistry and vision of the original designs. Thank you for honoring what’s there. Everything doesn’t have to be modernized.
Thank you so much for watching Sandy! I'm glad you like how they turned out. 😊

I love watching you work to bring the pieces back to life. As to keeping it as they were intended or making them more modern, well ... I think you should always follow your heart, what you love to do most. And I agree totally that keeping them in the 'old' style works best, the wood is so gorgeous.
Thank you very much! 😀
OHMYGOSH Angie....they are beautiful!!!!! I love that you restored them to their original splendor and not made them modern. You are an artist in wood restoration and I'm blessed to have found your channel and see you return pieces to their former glory....❤
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Absolutely gorgeous!! Your ability to see what these lost pieces could be and the patience to bring them back to life is just amazing, Such a wonderful talent that you share with us.💕🌺🌸
Thank you so much!
5 months late...you did a wonderful job. I love how they turned out. You did a beautiful job. My mother had a dresser with a huge mirror and a chest of drawers that match your two night stands. Love seeing antiques and people like you to repair them and bring them back to glory!!! ❤
Thank you so much!
Wow your attention to detail is amazing.
Thank you very much!
Angie, your work is stellar. The pieces come to you crying "Make me pretty again...please" and you do, even if you must use paint. 😉 Even if I had artistic talent I wouldn't have thought to do the restorations in this way. They're just glorious and I wouldn't change a thing. The way you engineered the veneer patches so perfectly is artistry.
Oh and as always, I love your music. Bravo, Angie! You're amazing, and your fans love you, too!
Thank you so much for watching Kristi!

Of course! I never miss one. There's only one problem with your content... there's not enough of it! I yearn to see more of you and am always excited when when I see a new post. 💕 🐈 🐾
Beautiful restoration. It seems like most people take the easy way out and stress paint the furniture. 😤 You take the time and let the beauty shine through as was intended. Bravo! 👏
Thank you so much for watching!
This is the way to go… bring back to life as it was back in the days. Every time I see good art deco, I am thinking about the old cruise liners. Bring in some good jazz and you are good to go!
I'm glad you like how they turned out!
The contrast of the black and the veneer is perfect. Great design choices and beautiful execution.
Thank you so much! 😊
You really did a masterful restoration of these Deco treasures. Brava!
Thank you kindly!
Those tables were born to be in the beautiful condition you achieved. This may be my favorite flip ever. Absolutely spectacular!!!!
Wow, thank you so very much!! I really appreciate that!
Always love vintage over modern furniture pieces.❤
Thank you so much for watching!
I really love watching a great craftperson --really, an artist--do this work. Such a pleasure to hear how your skill, judgment, and taste come into play. And the results--wow. Hats off.
I'm so glad you like how they turned out! Thanks so much for watching! 😊
They shimmer! Absolutely GORGEOUS 😍 ❤️
Thank you so much!
Simply gorgeous! I was worried early that you would paint but so relieved you didn't. I view painting as a last resort or if it's a laminate, paint can really enhance the item. I like that you explain what you are doing and why-so informative. Just beautiful! Thank you
Thank you so much for watching!
This is not a restoration, it is a resurrection! Beautiful work! I don't mind painted furniture, but this pair is made to be admired in its original beauty.
Thank you very much! ☺️
You are a gifted artist and a genius! I enjoy watching you work because it’s such a labor of love and the end product shows it!
Thank you very much! 😀
Great patching! Great office space! Any piece of furniture from before 1950 deserves to have an original finish restored. Art Deco was a great time for design. And finally, you're so lucky to have such a wonderful helper. 😺
I have to disagree with that as a general statement. Some things should definitely be restored. But much like modern day designers, olden day designers sometimes got things wrong. Or the items were not taken care of properly and are destroyed. Or just aren’t practical anymore and end up in landfills. Being useful, for me, sometimes trumps being fully restored. So I consider each piece individually, rather than the idea that every single piece of mediocre furniture needs restoration. THESE pieces though- these are a no-brainer for me. That wood grain is out of this world!
OMG Angie you did an AMAZING job! You brought these sad babies back to their original beauty! I'm so happy you didn't make them modern. It kills me that someone butchered an Art Deco vanity but I realize they're out of fashion right now. They're gorgeous and I'm glad they will live on for many more years!
Unfortunately no one has room or use for the older vanities now and they get tossed and thrown into the landfill. If splitting them up saves them, I have to support it. Thanks for watching!
The final reveal actually brought tears to my eyes. I've done furniture refurbishing and repair and have never painted a single piece. I get so involved in what I'm doing I sometimes feel that the wood is telling me what it wants to be. I love working with wood. I greatly appreciate what you do and the care and skill involved. Thank you for what you do and for sharing with us.
You are so incredibly welcome! I'm thrilled to be able to help!!
I love working with wood. When you put the finish on and it brings out that fabulous pattern, then bam, got me every time!
I'm so glad! Thank you very much!
They are just stunning. When others would put a coat of paint on them and call it a day, you made them look like they were always meant to.
Thanks for watching!
These are perfection, Angie! They make me think of traveling on a luxurious train in the 1930s, in one of the beautiful private cabins. The two-tone effect is gorgeous. I love the contrast. It sets off both the woodgrain and the trim details. You have done an amazing job.🌸
Thank you so much Deborah! I'm so glad you like how they turned out. 😊
just STUNNING!!! You can certainly zoom into detail and see the love you pour into your pieces of art. Thank you for restoring these beautiful pieces.
You're very welcome! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Very beautiful. I love how you didn’t change the look. You restored the natural beauty of them.
Thank you kindly! 😀
Wow! I love your choices! I didn't realize how complicated repairs can get! Love them! Keep up the good work!
Thank you! 😊
Meticulous care shows craftman's heart. Love your work and aesthetic.
Thank you very much!
So beautiful. So many people are painting and chalking over this style over furniture.
While I have no issue with paint, I'm pretty selective about when and where I use it. Thank you so much for watching!
It's like a big flame dancing across the front of each one. Stunning restoration.
I'm so glad you like it!
Your time and efforts are rewarded by the final results of each of your restorations. These are beyond beautiful. Thank you for doing what you love.
Thank you so much for watching Marilyn!
These are lovely, Angie! It must be so satisfying to rescue these pieces and give them new life! I love your attention to detail- that golden grain when you applied the Odie's Oil was breathtaking! Thanks for sharing!
Thank YOU for watching Nancy and your kind words! Much appreciated!
This is amazing! I can just imagine someone purchasing and throwing a couple of coats of paint on it- and I could cry!
Absolutely beautiful work!
Yikes - it would be a shame to cover that woodgrain. Thank you! Cheers!
I gasped when I saw these finished; never imagined they would turn out so beautiful!
I'm so glad you like them! Thanks so much for watching! 😃
Honestly, fhis video brought tears to my eyes. Your love in restoring these paid so much respect to the original maker. I hope whoever owns these will feel the love and positive energy put into these pieces. Well done ❤d
Thank you so much!! I'm so pleased you like them!! ❤️
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery - These turned out AMAZING!!
I'm betting that you've been called The wood whisperer more than once!! As this is my first time to your channel, may I ask if viewers can purchase these items, or do you have an online store? Again, great job!! 🙂
Just prior to this I watched a guy rip a piece apart with unsuitable tools (too narrow) and he did so much needless damage which he didn't mind at all. What a thug- and I'm watching through my fingers. But his lady was such a joy to watch! (Men are actually super-sensitive and caring with wood- so it was weird seeing that other channel!)
oh yes.... me too!!
Art deco is a lovely style, I’m so glad you recreated the original look, the wood grain is beautiful. Love your many toed cat. ❤
Thanks so much for watching!
I agree completely! This is my first time watching the video and I thought I was hallucinating a thumb on your cat! Love this btw
Absolutely beautiful work. Thank you for enhancing their original beauty and for clearly showing, at the end, the products you used! ❤
All of my videos contain a full list of items and products used, along with links for purchase, in the description. Just click on the Show More... and a full list will pop up for you.
Thanks for watching!
Wow! So glad you restored to their “original “ glory! They are stunning!
Thanks so much for watching!
Hi Angie! Happy Sunday to you and your fam! Holyyyyyy smokessssss!!! That is one gorgeous restoration! ❤ I am a huge fan of your work. I think I may have said that before, but no joke, every single restoration never fails to amaze. The pieces come to life not only of themselves but the energy and love they receive is evident. I have watched many restoration videos…enough to say that i don’t often sigh with satisfaction when the reveal is made, that is until I see one of your pieces revealed. Fantastic job as always. Oh and Nacho… he’s the best helper🥰🥰🥰!!!
Wow Lisa! What a great comment, that made my day! Thank you so much for your kind words and I'll pass your message along to Nacho. 😺😊
This has to be my favorite transformation. Outta the ballpark!
Thank you so much!
These pieces are so beautiful!! the luster you brought out of the wood is stunning, and they are such unique art pieces now. Thank you so much for saving them from a landfill, and giving them new life, and for sharing your process with all of us. Thank you, also, for all of the love and hard work you put into this and the other projects you do. The world is richer for your efforts.
Wow, you're so welcome! Thank you so much for the support, I really appreciate it! 😊
First time I watch you. I'm in awe. I wouldn't have thought these pieces could look as spectacular as they do by not painting and just keeping them with the original look. You are seriously talented.
Thank you so much!
Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for all your hard work to bring these two pieces back to their originality! ❤️
You are so welcome!
These side tables were so lucky you found them. They were so sad looking and you've given them so much life! I love all your choices, you did a fabulous job. You're so inspiring, I really admire how much effort you put into each piece that you take on. I love this channel, your work, Nacho, and all you do to save things - not just save but return to glory, lol. Well done, keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for your incredible comment Heather, I really appreciate that!
The Art Deco nightstands turned out to be so beautiful.
My grandparent’s had a set of matching Art Deco pieces for their bedroom. Am in my seventies now, and as I recall so similar to the design of your nightstands. On each nightstand were Maxfield Parish type lamps of about 12” tall, made if ceramic aqua naked ladies holding glass veils with outstretched arms. We all thought the pair of lamps to be rather risqué for our prudish grandparents, but were a perfect match for the Art Deco bedroom set.
Thank you. Lovely pieces that brought back long ago memories.
You're so welcome! I'm so glad I could bring back some good memories for you! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
They are DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. If money were no object it would be great to hand these to a decorator and say build my house around THESE.
Ohhh can you imagine?? That would be incredible!
So gorgeous! I absolutely love that you kept true to the original finish; I love the art deco waterfall shape and the wood just glows after this restoration. I wish I lived in your area; I would buy these in a heartbeat. Also, I'm glad that you are finally putting Nacho to work. With his opposable thumbs, there is no reason he can't help you fish cords in your new office.
😆 I agree - let's put those extra toes to work! Thanks so much for watching and I'm glad you like how they turned out!
These are exquisite! If I didn’t already have night stands I love, I would be trying to figure out how I could get these. You really brought them to life! You honored their roots stylistically and made them so that anyone would be proud to show them off. Also, can I just say what a fantastic job you did with replacing the large veneer chip. Not only matching the grain as much as possible, but also when you used the grain “ink” to color it to match. Booked veneer brings its own set of special difficulties and you triumphed!
Thank you so much for watching and your support! Very much appreciated!
Omg, they are so beautiful, the reveal brought tears to my eyes!
Wow, thank you very much!
