I'm honestly shocked that you paid $200 for this in the state that it was in, sure it's lovely now, but you had to put in a lot of work to get it there
Most of the time, when Art Deco pieces were brand new, the wood grain was very vibrant and holographic. You notice that with Before & After photos of the Queen Mary in particular. But it darkens over time. So while the oil tone is different from the French polish look it probably had originally, I think it probably closely resembles its original look! It's beautiful!! Art Deco pieces are so rare and to see you sympathetically restoring it is very heartwarming.
I’m stumped as to how anyone could think the shellac finish of that period is superior to the one you did. All that wood grain hidden for decades. There is no value to a finish that detracts from the beauty of the piece. Beautiful work as always.
Shellac is a beautiful, classical finish that can be either transparent or subtly tinted. For example check out many pieces on exhibit in the Met in New York. I'm sure the original piece was stunning when new. But when abused via liquid and sun exposure along with dust, it can cloud as here. It's also not as hard as modern varnishes, so accumulated fine scratches impart a haze. With all those flaws, a good shellac finish is still more durable than the oil used here, which will need periodic renewal forever. Finishes - as everything in life - have advantages and disadvantages.
I wonder how you think Shellack looked in the 1940’s. I think it was a whole different apperance than Today. But, that Aside, as usual, it is a wonderful masterpiece after refinishing! I want it!
yeah, this boggles my mind that anyone would look at a dingy, old, dirty and disgusting piece of furniture, with holes in veneer and cracked finish and think "wow, nobody should ever touch this thing cause it's basically perfect!" .... no, it needs to be repaired. look at that cabinet, the front doors took my breath away when finished.
@generessler6282 Shellac can be easily be refreshed and refinished, but it usually yellows. It is super easy to use and smooth though. Can't beat the dry time.
That woodgrain! Looking at how it has been aligned to match on both sides of the doors so perfectly, that kind of craftmanship deserves to be shown, not hidden under some stuff, and you did it justice! Amazing!
Couldn't have said it better myself. I've watched a lot of refinishing/restoring videos and none compare. You have a passion and that energy transfers into the pieces you restore. Just incredible, the calibre of your work. ❤😊
How beautiful! You just made that piece sustainable for another 100 years. I don't understand how anyone would prefer new furniture over these gorgeous restored pieces.
You are a true artist. For one so young you are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to refinishing furniture. I’m always impressed with your work but this time you floored me. This piece turned out absolutely stunning. Great job.
Angie, this piece turned out outrageously beautiful. Your knowledge of wood and problems with finishes and how to solve those problems never ceases to amaze me. You are by far my favourite of all the channels I subscribe to.
Angie, this time you took my breath away with how beautiful this piece is now! The Art Deco style has always been my favorite, but this - WOW! Love the contrast, love the burled wood, and those Bakelite pulls! I've been refinishing furniture for over 40 years, and let me say, I bow to your Mastery of the Art! Thank you so much for the joy you bring to this Old Lady. Please continue to share your artistry with us. Stay safe & well, Blessings to you.
If my husband were still alive, he would want to buy this piece today! So wonderful. I know this sounds corny, but it warms my heart when I see such old pieces come to life and 'give' again. And Happy Birthday!!! A new year has started for everyone, and for you especially!! All the best, Angie!
Wow! There are people who refinish wood, then there’s you. Your vision for what the piece should look like, your high standards, amount of work you put into a piece are superior and beyond what anyone out there on the “web,” is willing to do, or knows how to do are just superior. I think you are one of a kind. Thank you for sharing with everyone.❤
I love Art Deco pieces and don't usually think of them as having a design like this. The transformation is stunning! When seeing the final product, I really got what you meant about the older stain covering up the wood grain. The flame pattern as you so aptly described it, is gorgeous! More Art Deco pieces, please!
Wanted to say a big thank you for rescuing this piece, also many others you have worked on. Its almost heartbreaking to lose the craftsmanship and sense of style. Would adore it in my home!
My first reaction when I first saw this piece was that it’s really interesting. My next reaction was that it was going to take a LOT of work. My final reaction was that Angie can fix it because she can fix anything! And when all was said and done, I was right. Once again, Angie, you’ve done a beautiful job and saved a piece of furniture from deteriorating into trash. This will find a home with someone who will be so proud to own it and display it. Thank you for what you do and sharing it!💕
You brought the whole piece to life. It really is 'on fire' with the wood grain being the obvious focal point. Jaw dropping is the correct phrase. Thanks for taking us on this fabulous adventure. It looks amazing.
Angie, you are God' gift to furniture. Great work and superb judgment in bringing out the natural beauty of the wood grain instead of letting it hide under the old finish. You never disappoint! :)
Scrolling through TH-cam, I came across your Art Deco buffet and I opened a window into a gifted artist's world of the most beautiful refinished/saved and vastly improved furniture I have ever seen! The life you lovingly imbued into this Art Deco buffet is absolutely, stunningly, beautiful. I immediately subscribed to your channel and opened an Instagram account so I could see your gallery of refinished furniture pieces. Beautiful!
That piece has NEVER looked so good. Absolutely beautiful!! I'd much rather see that gorgeous wood than the thick shellac. When I look at it I keep seeing a scene in the pattern, hills, houses, etc. So pretty.
I think you not only restored this piece, I think you did it in a way that the original designers would have appreciated and approved of very much. It's a very timeless update that fits the modern but would have looked at home in Miss Fisher's favorite drawing room. And the way that wood shines is just ✨magic✨!
I’m so glad your were the one to take on this piece. So many others should have ended up painting it and covering up that gorgeous figuring. Beautifully done, Angie!
This is gorgeous now that you've appreciated it. That beautiful veneer deserves to be seen and appreciated. I do understand preservation of antiques, though what you started with really needed help desperately! and this is an improvement for sure.
I'm with you on the wood grain issue. Why would anyone cover it in a dark shellac when you can let it be a beautiful part of the piece. I love what you did with this item, really brought it back to life. Great job! Thinking maybe you need to invest in some kind of air filtration system for the fumes. Terrific video - I couldn't wait to see the reveal.
That really was a diamond in the rough. You transformed an architecturally interesting piece into a stunning work of art. Absolutely beautiful. Your choices on letting the wood speak for itself were spot on. Thank you.😊👍👍👍
The dark trim does indeed complement the lovely burl walnut veneer beautifully -- much more drama than keeping it light. The door handles are delightfully individual and add to the art deco charm. And your new drawers are a lovely upgrade. Beautifully done.
Oh my ! This is one of the most beautiful restorations to date . It is magical . I’m sure it is more elegant than the day it came off the factory floor. Who ever gets to have this in their home will be very fortunate . Keep up your excellent work so that we can experience perfection.
You are a very talented artist, and the passion that you have for the beauty of wood comes out in your spectacular pieces. The goal of a good makeup artist wouldn't be to just put a mask over a person's face. They would use their skills to enhance the beauty that is already there. And that is what you do. You enhance the natural beauty that is already there in the wood. Your pieces are all jaw dropping, and it is a pleasure to see you take such great care and tenderness to give these pieces new life.
I love the wood!! I was just thinking to myself that it looked like it was on fire and you showed the original finish next to it and said the same thing. Sooo beautiful!
Every time you do one of these restorations on an old piece, I think "wow, this is the most gorgeous piece Angie's ever done, it's perfect!" and then you do it again. I sure hope the people who live near enough to you to buy your work appreciate what a gift that is.
I’m sure the original was ‘in style’ when it was made, but imho, your piece exudes class. I’ve been following you for a bit and I love how you listen to the piece. You have an amazing style and are a joy to watch. ❤
I think you just made the original crafts person's heart sing!! You brought out the original intention & beauty of the piece! You can almost hear it sing with joy. 😄🤗😍💜
Angie, your projects are getting more and more intense! I can’t believe how gorgeous this piece turned out- you’re a magic-maker! When you say, “Fire” I believe it! This is absolutely Fire!!!
Stunning! Breathtaking! The grain is incredible! The dark elements and the handles are from another planet! It's like the piece was deliberately hidden under the shellac and was waiting for you to reveal its majestic, enchanting beauty. Happy birthday Angie! I wish all the best and above all I wish you health. Thanks so much for sharing
You’re very courageous just looking at that piece of furniture I can tell there’s a lot of work in it but I know it’s gonna look good after cause you always do a good job. ❤
15:55 Tighten the clamping mechanism on the fence to keep the fence stationary (make sure tighten the nut underneath the thumb release too-My husband is a GC). Also, you're using the wrong blade for ripping. You want to use a (minimum) 48 tooth blade with a carbide tip. All purpose good blades are Irwin, Marathon, and Freud. Thanks for the detail you give in your videos. I am an amateur furniture restorer and find that you and I do things similarly - me with "Mr. Know it all" over my shoulder!
The blade on it is a general purpose blade that came with it- it’s ok for multiple uses, including ripping but it’s more of a construction grade thing. For finer work, I should be using a dedicated ripping blade, yes. I’ve made all the adjustments recommended but still have issues. After doing a ton of research, I discovered many others having the same problem with that style of fence, so tightening isn’t helping. Since this video, I gave up and sold that one to someone who already had one (and knows its issues) and got the dewalt one with the rack and pinion fence and omg what a difference. So much better!
This is absolutely one of my favorite pieces you’ve restored!! That “fiery” wood grain was exactly that….FIRE🔥!! I paint furniture and do a bit of restoration and find myself getting attached to pieces, thus making it hard to part with them. This would definitely be one such item. Stunning….utterly gorgeous!
Your instincts throughout the restoration of this piece were other-worldly. You were right on the money to not cover up that stunning pattern on the veneer. Same with how you applied the veneer to the sides with the grain running horizontally instead of vertically. The effect looks like a continuation of the grain on each of the curved side doors. This could be a museum piece, it's so spectacularly beautiful. And you built your own jigs and power tool attachments while you were at it!! #awestruck I'm running out of superlatives!!
I just want to give you a little attagirl for how good your editing and voiceovers are !! 🎉 People don't realize how much work goes into filming in the present with the forethought for what you'll need to be narrating in the future and making sure you capture both adequately. The little section beginning at 5:23 is perfect!!
Haha, that’s sweet of you to say, and you’re very right. Often when I’m filming, I’m mouthing roughly what I expect I would say in the voiceover, so that my hand movements (mostly) line up. People often ask why I use music in the background and not shop sounds, and part of it is because all you’d hear would be me mumbling to myself, hahaha!
@TranscendFurnitureGallery your videos are very well-produced. I love that your finished project and staging shots are always the same format with the same music. It's reliable and oddly satisfying. This cabinet really was spectacular. The burled wood did look like 🔥. One of your best pieces imo.
I adore these old art deco pieces and 100% agree with your treatment of that gorgeous burled veneer. I know it's not everyone's style but I love the natural finish with the beauty of the grain shining through. Another awesome video and it turned out so pretty.
This is a magnificent piece of furniture, and it found its way into the hands of the right person. There’s no style like Art Deco, and you did this cabinet justice for a new life.
Wow, this is amazing. Every time you do an art deco piece, I'm reminded how lucky i am that my beautiful water fall vanity is in such good condition and was finished to really show off the beautiful grain.
Beautiful objects always bring a tear to my eyes. I have shed many a tear on your furniture rescues. You are talented in seeing what can be done to bring out the beauty in each and every one of your pieces. Thank you for filming these miracles
This is beautiful and I love the 3 drawers (instead of 2). Such a useable piece in a small home. Love the 2 tones and the finish. Glad you kept the old handles! The new drawer handles too.
Wow!! I know I’ve said this at least a dozen times before, but THIS has got to be my favourite piece so far! The front cabinet doors do, indeed, look like they are on fire; absolutely beautifully matched! The grain on the various pieces, the gorgeous handles, the scrumptious Bakelite … STUNNING! So. Much. Work. OMG!! Thank you for another fantastic video!
Hi Angie, Another very beautiful fire grain hiding underneath that you brought to life!! What a God given talent you display in your work!! As always, God bless and take care from your California subscriber 🙏 🤲
Oh my gosh - that is one of the most beautiful pieces of furniture that I think I’ve ever seen. If I could buy that I think I would drive from Michigan to pick it up. ❤❤❤
that was an absolutely magical transformation. the sideboard brought back memories for me as my granny had one just like it that my grandparents had bought when first married. hers was as perfect as the day she got it.
Very glamorous in the best natural way. The woodgrain is stunning and letting that come back to life was the right choice. I love Art Deco style. Beautiful job! *Standing ovation* 😺
That book matched veneer is so beautiful! I love the contrasts in the colors. I prefer the wood grain showing 90% of the time and this one is just mag.
Angie, this is amazing! Every detail is perfect - and you put so much love and artistry into it. It would be interesting to know how much it sold for, after being purchased for $200 and having so many hours invested in it. You've created an heirloom quality piece that will be admired for generations to come.
Besides the beautiful product you end up with, I enjoy you pointing out what has happened in furniture’s past history. You always do such a fantastic job.
Jaw dropping is right! Angie, you did an incredible job on this stunning piece! I just love watching you as you painstakingly care for every detail of every piece you work on. I wish this one belonged to me! 😢😂❤
Another incredible job on my favorite style of furniture. The burl grain in the doors is spectabular and a definite improvement over the original finish. Thank you for bringing this beautiful piece back to life and sharing the process with us!
STUNNING! ... as usual! ❤ Yes, show off that beautiful grain. I love it. You made it look so mod, like it needs to go in a multi-million dollar house. It's perfection.

My grandmother had the entire dining set. Buffett, table w/additional leaves, 6 chairs. My sister has it now!💖

Thank you very much! I'm so glad you like how it turned out. 😀
Absolutely. Art deco pieces are supposed to look expensive and fine. Another beautiful job. Thank you.
THAT WOODGRAIN, OMG!! It's stunning, Angie. Brilliant job.
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you like it!!! 😁
I prefer how you have finished it...STUNNING original finish is to dull doesn't do it justice. Love your restores...girl ur da bomb
Thank you very much! I appreciate that!! 😊
I love safety Angie with her air quality tool . You definitely are one of the most safety conscious of the furniture channels I watch.
I’m stumped as to how anyone could think the shellac finish of that period is superior to the one you did. All that wood grain hidden for decades. There is no value to a finish that detracts from the beauty of the piece. Beautiful work as always.

I agree just stunning
I wonder how you think Shellack looked in the 1940’s. I think it was a whole different apperance than Today. But, that Aside, as usual, it is a wonderful masterpiece after refinishing! I want it!

Thank you so much for watching! 😊
yes as an Australian I would love to see you come over here for a ‘holiday’ and work on some of four hardwood colonial pieces .❤
I honestly think that it's a million times prettier than if you'd have tried to keep the original varnish on it. I am in love with this piece.
Thank you very much! I'm so glad you like it! 😀
yes absolutely stunning
I especially like the calm and structured way you work, the cleanliness of your shop and the extraordinarily beauty of your finished pieces. Wow.
Thank you so much! 😊
I was thinking the same thing, It is very calming.
Exactly this. She's so calm and deliberate. I've just been watching all night every night it's so comforting plus I'm learning so much.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I've watched a lot of refinishing/restoring videos and none compare. You have a passion and that energy transfers into the pieces you restore. Just incredible, the calibre of your work. ❤😊
I just told my husband, "This girl is a miracle worker with wood"! The attention to detail you have is AMAZING! ❤
Wow, thank you!
You have taken this piece from granny’s old bedroom to the set of a full colour Hollywood movie set …..just gorgeous❤
Wow, thank you so much!!! 🙂
Angie, OMG, the wood grain is spectacular! It made the hair on my arms stand up in tribute. Great choices; I love this piece. 🎉
Thank you kindly!!! 😀
How beautiful! You just made that piece sustainable for another 100 years. I don't understand how anyone would prefer new furniture over these gorgeous restored pieces.

Never fear - I have no plans to stop! There are still so many pieces to save. 🙂
If my husband were still alive, he would want to buy this piece today! So wonderful. I know this sounds corny, but it warms my heart when I see such old pieces come to life and 'give' again.
And Happy Birthday!!! A new year has started for everyone, and for you especially!! All the best, Angie!
Thank you so much for the kind words!! ❤️
What makes you special is the respect you have for the wood, the piece and the stories it could tell, not what’s trending 🙏❤️
Thank you so much! 😊
Truth.
Wow! There are people who refinish wood, then there’s you. Your vision for what the piece should look like, your high standards, amount of work you put into a piece are superior and beyond what anyone out there on the “web,” is willing to do, or knows how to do are just superior. I think you are one of a kind. Thank you for sharing with everyone.❤
You're so welcome! Thank you so much for the fantastic comment!
I LOVE Angie's work!
Flippingdrawers is fantastic!
Beautiful. I wish you could mentor some young apprentice folks so that this skill and craft doesn't get lost any time soon.
I love Art Deco pieces and don't usually think of them as having a design like this. The transformation is stunning! When seeing the final product, I really got what you meant about the older stain covering up the wood grain. The flame pattern as you so aptly described it, is gorgeous! More Art Deco pieces, please!

I'm in awe at your ability to deconstruct and repair these beautiful pieces! The new finish is glorious!

Wow Linda, thank you!! Welcome to my channel, I'm thrilled to have you here with me! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
I don’t think anyone could improve on a complement like this🫢 Angie is a true artisan, woodworker, craftsman. I can watch her forever🥹
I AGREE!!❤
That piece has NEVER looked so good. Absolutely beautiful!! I'd much rather see that gorgeous wood than the thick shellac. When I look at it I keep seeing a scene in the pattern, hills, houses, etc. So pretty.
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
I think you not only restored this piece, I think you did it in a way that the original designers would have appreciated and approved of very much. It's a very timeless update that fits the modern but would have looked at home in Miss Fisher's favorite drawing room. And the way that wood shines is just ✨magic✨!
Sooo many extra points for the Miss Fisher reference!
I'm so glad you like it! Thank you so much!! 😊
I’m so glad your were the one to take on this piece. So many others should have ended up painting it and covering up that gorgeous figuring. Beautifully done, Angie!
Thank you so much Paula! I'm glad you like it! 😊
This is gorgeous now that you've appreciated it. That beautiful veneer deserves to be seen and appreciated. I do understand preservation of antiques, though what you started with really needed help desperately! and this is an improvement for sure.
I recently asked you to please show us more Art Deco pieces. This is exactly what I was craving! Thanks for this beautiful video.
You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
The veneer grain on this is mind boggling. Great job!
Isn't it gorgeous?? Thank you so much for watching! 😊
God is an amazing artist!
Incredible!! One of the most beautiful pieces of furniture that I’ve ever seen!!😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
Wow!! Thank you so much ! 😊
Wow, this piece looks gorgeous, Angie! You made all the right decisions and let the wood shine in it's real beauty.
Thank you very much! 😊
This is hands down the most beautiful restoration you’ve done IMO. What a gorgeous shape this piece has!!! Whoever bought this has got a real gem!
Thank you very much! 😊
This is just magnificent! I can visualize Jeeves opening it to make cocktails for Wooster and his flapper date in 1924. A whole century ago!
Totally!
I'm with you on the wood grain issue. Why would anyone cover it in a dark shellac when you can let it be a beautiful part of the piece.

Thank you so much Susan! 😊
Have never cared for art deco. But this is incredibly beautiful!!!!! Your attention to detail and your artistry is over the top.
I appreciate that! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Art deco was meant to beautiful when done correctly
I typically don't watch furniture restoration videos but I do find yours very enjoyable and informative.
I'm so glad to hear that Lisa! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
You are such a wood whisperer 😎/love the history but also your knowledge & respect for the original workmanship. Elizabeth
Thank you kindly!

Every time you do one of these restorations on an old piece, I think "wow, this is the most gorgeous piece Angie's ever done, it's perfect!" and then you do it again. I sure hope the people who live near enough to you to buy your work appreciate what a gift that is.
Thank you so much 😊
Angie, I can’t express how relaxing your videos are. Not to mention what beautiful beautiful work you do I love all your videos and all your work.
Im so glad to hear that! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Oh my gooodNESS!!! It was like fireworks going off when you revealed the front!!!!!! Wow!!!!! Stunning!!!
Thank you so much!! 😊
I've had the same problem with the fence moving. Clamp a piece of wood next to it; that helps.
I’m sure the original was ‘in style’ when it was made, but imho, your piece exudes class. I’ve been following you for a bit and I love how you listen to the piece. You have an amazing style and are a joy to watch. ❤
Wow, thank you!
I think you just made the original crafts person's heart sing!! You brought out the original intention & beauty of the piece!
You can almost hear it sing with joy. 😄🤗😍💜
Wow, thank you very much! I really appreciate that! 😊
Angie, your projects are getting more and more intense! I can’t believe how gorgeous this piece turned out- you’re a magic-maker! When you say, “Fire” I believe it! This is absolutely Fire!!!
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Stunning! Breathtaking! The grain is incredible! The dark elements and the handles are from another planet!

Incredible! I love the bookmatched burl on the front!!! Amazing!!! Love these restorations!! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! 😊
IMO your artist eye never fails you! The stunning beauty that is now this piece is just incredible and so much more than the original finish.
Thank you so much 😀
You’re very courageous just looking at that piece of furniture I can tell there’s a lot of work in it but I know it’s gonna look good after cause you always do a good job. ❤
I really appreciate that, thank you so much!
This was magical. I love the art deco pieces. You bring back the romance of these pieces. ❤
Awe, thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
So gorgeous. Those figures in the wood grain truly symbolize the Art Deco era. Amazing work.
Thank you very much! 😀

The blade on it is a general purpose blade that came with it- it’s ok for multiple uses, including ripping but it’s more of a construction grade thing. For finer work, I should be using a dedicated ripping blade, yes.
I’ve made all the adjustments recommended but still have issues. After doing a ton of research, I discovered many others having the same problem with that style of fence, so tightening isn’t helping. Since this video, I gave up and sold that one to someone who already had one (and knows its issues) and got the dewalt one with the rack and pinion fence and omg what a difference. So much better!
OMGOMGOMG! Angie - O.M.G! This piece is absolutely breathtaking. It's replaced the night stands as my new fave of all your work. Well done!
Thank you very much! 😊
Oh WOW!!! The doors are BEAUTIFUL!! The old girl is glowing again!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
This is absolutely one of my favorite pieces you’ve restored!! That “fiery” wood grain was exactly that….FIRE🔥!! I paint furniture and do a bit of restoration and find myself getting attached to pieces, thus making it hard to part with them. This would definitely be one such item. Stunning….utterly gorgeous!
Glad you liked it!
Your instincts throughout the restoration of this piece were other-worldly. You were right on the money to not cover up that stunning pattern on the veneer. Same with how you applied the veneer to the sides with the grain running horizontally instead of vertically. The effect looks like a continuation of the grain on each of the curved side doors. This could be a museum piece, it's so spectacularly beautiful.
And you built your own jigs and power tool attachments while you were at it!! #awestruck I'm running out of superlatives!!
Awe, thank you very much! I really appreciate it! 😊
WOW!!! You turned that into one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever seen. Absolutely great workmanship!!!
Thank you so much 😊
“It’s alive!” From a monster of a worn piece to a stunning furniture statement. Beautiful!😍
I'm so glad you like it! 😊
I just want to give you a little attagirl for how good your editing and voiceovers are !! 🎉
People don't realize how much work goes into filming in the present with the forethought for what you'll need to be narrating in the future and making sure you capture both adequately. The little section beginning at 5:23 is perfect!!
Haha, that’s sweet of you to say, and you’re very right. Often when I’m filming, I’m mouthing roughly what I expect I would say in the voiceover, so that my hand movements (mostly) line up. People often ask why I use music in the background and not shop sounds, and part of it is because all you’d hear would be me mumbling to myself, hahaha!
@TranscendFurnitureGallery your videos are very well-produced. I love that your finished project and staging shots are always the same format with the same music. It's reliable and oddly satisfying.
This cabinet really was spectacular. The burled wood did look like 🔥. One of your best pieces imo.
100 thumbs up!
I'm always in awe of how much work you put into each piece! It turned out beautifully!
Thank you very much! 😀
I am speechless over the beauty you managed to find in that piece of "junk"... Totally awesome!
Thank you very much! 😀
Beautiful choices of finish! Letting the natural grain be the star of the show, is always a good choice.
Yes! Thank you!
I adore these old art deco pieces and 100% agree with your treatment of that gorgeous burled veneer. I know it's not everyone's style but I love the natural finish with the beauty of the grain shining through. Another awesome video and it turned out so pretty.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 😊
This is a magnificent piece of furniture, and it found its way into the hands of the right person. There’s no style like Art Deco, and you did this cabinet justice for a new life.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! 😊
Wow, this is amazing. Every time you do an art deco piece, I'm reminded how lucky i am that my beautiful water fall vanity is in such good condition and was finished to really show off the beautiful grain.
You are very lucky indeed!! 😊
Beautiful objects always bring a tear to my eyes. I have shed many a tear on your furniture rescues. You are talented in seeing what can be done to bring out the beauty in each and every one of your pieces. Thank you for filming these miracles
You're most welcome! I'm so glad you like it!
This is beautiful and I love the 3 drawers (instead of 2). Such a useable piece in a small home. Love the 2 tones and the finish. Glad you kept the old handles! The new drawer handles too.
Thank you so much!
Wow!! I know I’ve said this at least a dozen times before, but THIS has got to be my favourite piece so far! The front cabinet doors do, indeed, look like they are on fire; absolutely beautifully matched! The grain on the various pieces, the gorgeous handles, the scrumptious Bakelite … STUNNING! So. Much. Work. OMG!! Thank you for another fantastic video!
You're so welcome! I'm so glad you like how it turned out!! 😁
You outdo yourself every time! This piece is insanely beautiful.
Thank you very much! 😊
It looks amazing. These pieces deserve to shine and you give that to them.
Wow, thank you!
Hi Angie, Another very beautiful fire grain hiding underneath that you brought to life!! What a God given talent you display in your work!! As always, God bless and take care from your California subscriber 🙏 🤲
Thank you so much! 😊
You brought the wood grain back to life! So beautiful.
Thank you so much! 😊
Oh my gosh - that is one of the most beautiful pieces of furniture that I think I’ve ever seen. If I could buy that I think I would drive from Michigan to pick it up. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
that was an absolutely magical transformation. the sideboard brought back memories for me as my granny had one just like it that my grandparents had bought when first married. hers was as perfect as the day she got it.
That is wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing!
Very glamorous in the best natural way. The woodgrain is stunning and letting that come back to life was the right choice. I love Art Deco style. Beautiful job! *Standing ovation* 😺
Thank you so much!
Wow Angie! I love the way the finish on the walnut makes it look like textured copper. Wonderful❣️
I'm so glad you like it! 😀
So far this is my favorite video of yours so far! Amazing work!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like it! 😊
Wow! I've never seen a grain pattern like that before, but it's spectacular. You've done an amazing job as usual!
Thank you kindly!
It's gorgeous!! That wood is amazing!
I agree completely! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
That book matched veneer is so beautiful! I love the contrasts in the colors. I prefer the wood grain showing 90% of the time and this one is just mag.
Thank you very much! 😊
Angie, you have never disappointed in your point of view of how you decide to renew a piece of furniture. This is undeniably gorgeous‼
Thank you so much!! 😊
Angie, this is amazing! Every detail is perfect - and you put so much love and artistry into it. It would be interesting to know how much it sold for, after being purchased for $200 and having so many hours invested in it. You've created an heirloom quality piece that will be admired for generations to come.
This hasn't been posted yet, it will be posted on Friday January 26th via my Instagram and Facebook.
Besides the beautiful product you end up with, I enjoy you pointing out what has happened in furniture’s past history.
You always do such a fantastic job.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Jaw dropping is right! Angie, you did an incredible job on this stunning piece! I just love watching you as you painstakingly care for every detail of every piece you work on. I wish this one belonged to me! 😢😂❤
Painstaking is a good word for it! Take it from me, I have to listen to the complaints! Hahaha 😉
Thank you so much Pat!
Angie, you blow me away with your talent. You really show the difference in refinishing vs restoring. This piece shines now.
Thank you so much Becky! 😊
Stunning transformation!!
Thank you! 😊
Art Deco is my favorite, and you have more than done this justice - it is GORGEOUS!! As always, of course. 😊
Thank you so much!
Stunning. It glows. And the two-tone looks amazing. You never fail to impress.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
So in love with the end piece! I absolutely need this!!
I'm so glad you like it!
Another incredible job on my favorite style of furniture. The burl grain in the doors is spectabular and a definite improvement over the original finish. Thank you for bringing this beautiful piece back to life and sharing the process with us!
You're so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
STUNNING! ... as usual! ❤ Yes, show off that beautiful grain. I love it. You made it look so mod, like it needs to go in a multi-million dollar house. It's perfection.
Wow, thank you so much! 😊
I have watched this video like 10 times from start to finish!
😮 Wow!!! Thank you so much!! I'm thrilled you're enjoying it that much!
