Transforming OLD, DARK Furniture WITHOUT BLEACH
ฝัง

- I often get asked why most of my pieces are dark. To be honest, I usually prefer dark woods and paint colours. But sometimes it's nice to lighten up. Doing a paint wash is a great way to still see the woodgrain in furniture but to give the piece a whole new look. This isn't a new concept at all (and I don't tend to follow a lot of trends anyway), but it's what I envisioned for this smaller piece so I'm sharing it with you!

I’m very much a dark wood girlie but the way the green neutralised that red was astonishing, although it’s basic colour theory, to actually see it truly neutralise it! It gave the wood a calming Scandinavian feel, I think. ☺️
I'm so glad you liked it!
The wallpaper really makes the inside pop.
The outside was amazing the scandinavian look with the colour and style was great blue me away how the red just disappeared. Not a fan of how the paper took it away from the scandi look and turned into 60s look. But it showcases your artistry for design. Well done x❤
Love the paper - gives it a funky, young feeling that it needed after the colourwash. Also really happy to see the odies adding a little bit of warmth and definition back to the grain (though that was probably still showing irl)
But the reason I watch every video and try to comment every time is the kindness and respect you give to each and every piece, cheap chipboard or beautyful burl - every piece you touch lookes loved when it leaves your hands. Thanks for putting that energy into the world
To me they almost look like they belong in a Miyazaki film, that sort of animistic look
Thank you for this incredible comment - I really appreciate it and you. ❤️
Hear! Hear! Or as we say in New Orleans-Yeah, u rite!
This turned out gorgeous. It almost has a driftwood color😊😊
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Girl, you know that Algonquin paint wash has my cold, beige heart 😂 love this!!!
🤣😂 Thank you for that!!!
Ahh man, opening up youtube and seeing Transcend posted another video is the best feeling
I love that! 😀
Agree!
Another Masterpiece by Angie.
Thank you so much! 😊
So fresh! This looks fab but I think the biggest take away I get from your work is the importance of patience and pay attention to detail work, thanks!
You're so welcome! 🙂
I hit the like button before I even watched the video! I honestly dont think you have ever made a video that I wasn't in love with the outcome. Your driveway looks like mine right now, Love from ALASKA!
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
I do the same😊
Just a little FYI: I watch a channel unrelated to furniture where the host took a You Tube university course for her graduate degree in journalism and she learned a lot of the ins and outs of YT that are not commonly known. She said that if a viewer hits the like button within the first 60 seconds of viewing, TH-cam interprets it as a bot instead of a human and many times will negatively affect the video's algorithm. So as confident as you are that you are going to like the video, just give it a minute before liking it. Happy viewing :)
The light and dark colors tie in very well and the retro paper gave it the pop it needed….Wow Angie this came out beautifully
Thank you very much! 😊
It’s those little details that really set your work apart. Staining that track edge helped so much!
I agree! Thank you very much! 😊
Love the light finish and that you can still see the wood grain. Love the pop of color inside too so fun❣️
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Dang Angie, you ate this. No crumbs! 🤩
Hi Angie....different than what we expect of you. I'm always very happy when artists break the mold. I can see this piece in a room whose walls are of a darker color
Love it. Thank you.❤
You're very welcome!
Oh goodie! Another video. I love them so much I wait until I'm settled on the couch, with my laptop and blankie and can devote ALL my energy to it. Wonderful job as always.
Thank you very much! 😊
I loved seeing the snow at the beginning! I know it's a pain to deal with, but it sure is beautiful!! ❤
Thank you so much for watching! 😀
So retro! I love it and the funky paper
Thank you so much! 😊
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that despises when manufacturers slap hardboard on the back of a piece! A thin piece of plywood would cost about the same and would look a VASTLY better! LOL
That interior paper, along with the dark legs, pulled together the interior and exterior perfectly. I love this piece. But then, even when you do something that's not my style, I always love your work!!
I really appreciate that, thank you so much!! 😊
Another beautiful piece. Definitely the dark legs. Yeah I would have never picked that interior color stick on paper I wouldn't have been able to imagine it. It looks very good. You Definitely have the eye for design.
Thanks so much! 😊
It looks a 1,000% better, you did a beautiful job on making it worth keeping for another 60-70 years! 💕👌👍💕
Thank you kindly! 🙂
Gotta be proud of this one. It's turned out way better than it started.
I appreciate that, thank you!
Can’t believe this is the same piece, what a transformation! Looks gorgeous and very exclusive
I'm so glad you like it!! 😀
I love how this piece turned out. The neutral is current, yet classic. The dark base and legs sit nicely with it. The wallpaper is a delight.
Thank you so much! 😊
I love that you vacuumed your blouse! This neutral wash is GORGEOUS! The dark legs are so elegant! I love everything on this piece! Thanks so much for sharing
Oh yeah, that vacuuming moment was so cute! 😂🥰
You're so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I like that you do different things depending on the piece.
It looks so good! I love the unexpected bright yellow floral inside, too.
Thank you very much! 😀
I love it, as usual! Thank you, Angie!❤
You are so welcome! 😀
I really like this piece. The lighter color looks amazing. The wall paper gives it that 50s feel.
I'm so glad you like it! 😀
Love the wallpaper on the inside. It’s a wonderful surprise when the doors open.
A little pop of surprise colour! 😀
I’m typically a darker wood lover, but I think this turned out perfectly and elongated the redness.
Thank you so much for watching! 😀
This piece turned out gorgeous! I love the wallpaper but only because it’s inside the cabinet. Like pretty lining in a purse 😂❤
Haha thank you! 😊
I absolutely love how this turned out! That paper is perfect with it!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
You certainly gave this piece a whole new lease on life :) The light result harkens back to the "blonde" Scandinavian finishes that were so popular in the 50's and 60's and is in keeping with the design of the piece. Beautiful quality work!
Wow, thank you!
Beautiful, stylish, elegant 💚
I appreciate that, thank you!
Forget the cabinet, I want the glasses!!😂😂😂. Looks absolutely stunning as usual Angie! You are so talented, and have great visions for all of your pieces…. 😊❤
Thank you so much!!
I thought the paper had sheep on it for a minute. ❤️☺️ A piece of your artwork would have brought the front up to another level.
I tend to save those for the laminate pieces, or ones with pretty cheap species of veneer like birch. For things like mahogany and walnut, I'd rather just let the grain be the focus, but I definitely plan to do some more soon!
The paint wash is lovely on this piece. As always, I’m inspired.
I'm so glad to hear that! 😀
I'm usually a darker wood person, but I love the way this turned out!!
I'm so glad!! 😀
Love the wallpaper! Another beautiful transformation!
Thanks so much! 😊
Another great video! And another great piece!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I think it turned out really great Angie!! Another beautiful piece saved…
Thank you so much! 😊
The colors remind me of the Thomas O'brien console from Target that I own and love. This matches the color and style perfectly.
Thank you very much! 😀
Hi,
The piece looks terrific. I hope you don't mind a suggestion. The big reveal at the end is my favorite part. Showing a photo of the finished piece before I watch takes the excitement and mystery out of the big reveal. I'm a big fan and love your show.
Thanks
I only do it on very rare occurrences, when a thumbnail wouldn’t make sense without a snippet of the “after” shot.
I like the light color with the contrast of the darker interior. The wallpaper looks great! Gives it interest. I liked seeing the woodgrain still come through. Awesome piece, Angie. Thanks for sharing.
You're so welcome! 🙂
Beautiful. I love that you left the legs dark. Love your work
Thank you! 😊
It turned out very nice. Love the wood grain showing thru.
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
A really nice result: I can't imagine that you will have any trouble selling that charming piece!
Thank you so much! 😊
I really like what you did with this piece. I'm a fan of neutral colors. So you rocked it my friend.❤
Many thanks!
That came out very nice! I like the dark interior and I think the paper works well and give the piece a quirky pop!
I'm so glad you like it! Thank you kindly! 😊
Love the paint wash and the colorful paper inside! ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
So nice and modern! Looks fabulous and I love the interior paper.
Thanks so much!
Flawless, you made this piece look high end and stylish, well done 😮
Thank you so much!
This is what patience looks like. Nicely done.❤
Thank you so much! 😊
Looks like a million bucks! Great job 👏🏻
Thank you kindly! 😊
I loved the paper on the interior! Great work! 👍
Thanks so much! 😊
I wasn't sure about your colour choice but the end product is beautiful.
Thank you kindly!
Nice eye. A far more attractive piece than when new. Love your work.
Thank you so much 😀
I really like what you did here. I’m not usually a light wood fan but the effect you did here is so attractive.
I'm glad you like how it turned out! 😊
I've been watching you for what seems like forever, but I still learn something on each episode. Thank you for that!
You're most welcome!! I'm glad I can help!
Wonderful piece of 1960’s furniture. It’s just beautiful and i do like the contact paper inside. My daughter loves furniture from this time period. She would absolutely love this piece.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
Gorgeous, love the 1950s feeling paper too, I think your workshop is the most organised in the world. Magical transformation.
Thank you kindly! 😊
I don’t love or hate the cotton print paper; you needed something to make the interior of the piece less ominously dark. So I think it was a good choice. And I like the overall look. You’re right; neutral furniture is easier to live with than too much fancy veneer!
Example: I have a pair of “Greek column” marble-topped end tables that are now the perfect bedside tables. I really don’t like green, but these are the original light neutral green as when bought by my mother in the late 60’s. They blend perfectly with our salmon-light green-light gold-off white color scheme from the eighties. In a townhome with windows on only two sides, a light pastel interior is easy to live with, so we’ve kept it since 1983!
Lovely! I like the cabinet colour and the wallpaper too :-D
Thanks so much! 😊
I’m lukewarm on the aesthetics of this piece but I continue to be impressed with the quality workmanship you put in every piece. And, as always your work inspires me to try new things.
Absolutely beautiful! I didn't like anything about this piece before you transformed it. You have such an amazing gift for seeing the hidden potential in a piece!
Thank you! Cheers!
Does have a very stylish retro feel. I do like the light finish and dark legs.
Thank you very much! 😊
❤ for the lighter mahogany and the mustard yellow peel n'stick. I'm sure someone will snatch this up ASAP!
Thank you kindly!
Very nice. Its looks like a vintage blonde peice. Wallpaper did look vintage too. Very good job on this. Wallpaper skills are spot on.
Thank you so much! 😊
I love how this turned out. The wash has a pale grayness to it. ❤
I'm so glad you like it!
Love your stuff Angie. Waiting for the next piece you paint with flowers though. That stuff is stunning
Thanks so much 😊
Your attention to detail is why you are the best at what you do ! Great video !
Thank you so much 👍
Ok, a word I’ve never used came immediately to mind…..
how LOVELY❣️😍🥰
Wow, thank you so much!! 😊
I simply love watching you work and explain, and transform these pieces, into real beauty ❤️
Thank you very much! 😀
Nice transformation of this piece. It wears the lighter tone very well. Great video.
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Loved the way this turned out.
I'm so glad! 🙂
Really love what you did on this piece. Derk legs definitely look the best and the pop of color on the inside is just perfect.
Thank you so much! 😊
Such a natural look! I really like when you highlight the natural wood in unusual ways.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful! Thanks for what you do, Angie. 😊
You're so welcome! 🙂
Love the transformation! The funky paper inside gives it a little surprise life. So cool!
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful and fresh!
I've yet to see a piece you've done that I don't like. Keep it up!
I definitely will! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
I love it . Your choice of color is gorgeous and I like how the wallpaper inside compliments the dark on the shelf. ❤
Thank you so much! 😊
Beautiful work! Would love to see how you whitewash a black stained piece.
Thank you so much for watching! 😀
Nicely done! I love the colours, use of wallpaper to perk up the interior and the Ollie's finish! You always make the pieces sing, Angie! Thank you for sharing! Another Angie 😊
Thank you so much 😀
My parents (I'm74) had a similar cabinet. They had music albums in the cabinet and a turn table on top. I can hear the sound of the sliding doors and remember some of the music played. "Tom Dooley" by the Kingston Trio!!! Memories!! I love how you transformed this cabinet!! Thanks for the flash back.
Oh totally! That familiar sliiiiiide and soft thud. I immediately knew exactly what you meant. :-)
I really love love love this. The color turned out really beautiful.
Thank you so much! 😊
I like light wood. This color is especially pretty, really liked the wallpaper.
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
I wasn’t thrilled when you applied that greenish paintwash, but the end result looks great! Good job! 👍🌷
Thanks so much for watching! 😊
Love how this turned out. Also I adore the print on the wallpaper. It’s like a little special surprise when you open the cabinet 🥰
Thank you kindly! 🙂
I don't normally like light wood, but as always your work is beautiful.
Thanks so much for watching! 😊
Amazing work! I would love to see more of turning darker wood tones into brighter ones.
Thanks for watching!
I love!!! The description about the wood types and that you are very thorough in telling us what you are doing. You’re the best Angie
Awe, thank you! I really appreciate that!
I prefer the natural tones of walnut, mahogany, and rosewood but this is beautiful. Good choice on the dark legs as it helps to ground the piece. All in all another great job, Angie.
Thank you so much! 😊
Looks wonderful. Those pieces were absolutely ubiquitous when I was a kid and always packed full of mom's good china or records. It looks absolutely beautiful. Love what you did with it.
Thank you very much! 😊
Beautiful!mmand I love the retro paper! Actually brought a smile to my face. 😉
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love natural mahogany but that wash looks so modern AND retro at the same time! Such a wise choice and the wallpaper really does add interest. Great job- as always.
Thank you so much Mary! 😀
I like the more natural finishes and letting the natural beauty of the wood shine but understand that there area varies of tastes. You always do such meticulous work. Love your channel
Thanks so much for watching! 😊
I think it is beautiful-so much better than the original dark version. Your decisions are always right on. I’m amazed at your skill with the peel-and-stick! I’m challenged with that-even sticky notes give me trouble. Excellent job! ⭐️
Thank you so much!
You are always pushing yourself! I love it!❤ so fresh and modern looking. You wouldn’t know it’s vintage until you see inside and I love the liner!
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
It turned out beautiful but it would have been just as beautiful with a darker finish. I love to watch you work. ❤
Thanks for watching!
Genius! No surprise there!
Awe, thank you! 😊
