DIY Mid Century Dresser Transformation with Odie's Oil
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- Things don't always go as planned. That should be lesson #1 in furniture flipping. 🤣
I purchased these two mid century dressers from FB Marketplace over a year ago, and had forgotten about the amount of finish damage there was. I was hoping initially they would be just be a quick clean up and re-sell, but clearly, that wasn't going to happen. Instead, it was four days of work to turn these two out, but I'm so happy with the results. Odie's Oil for the win.

Word of advice from a senior. Don't worry what other people think about your methods of doing things. You have an incredible gift for knowing what to do with pieces. Sure some may not have turned out the way you expected, but overall I'm completely sure you have made correct decisions in the vast majority of your projects. You have an amazing talent and it shows with everything you have shown us. I look forward to all your videos as I am a MCM lover also. Confidence!
Agree with all of this. And if I may add, Angie, you're not afraid to reassess and adjust if it's not what you'd hoped. After investing a lot of time and effort, I tend to just say, "Eh, good enough." And then I always wish I'd gone back and tried again. That's the kind of devotion and persistence that really shows in your work. You've inspired me to step back awhile and take another look before settling.
I agree. I think it comes off as insecure, and I’m not sure Angie means it. But be proud and confident in your decisions. Who cares what any nay sayer says on social media?! You’re amazing and are putting so much love into all you do, girl! Don’t apologize for any of it!!
Angie, I think it's an amazing and culturally important gift how you discuss both sides of a viewpoint and then graciously expand on yours. I tend to always agree with you, but if I were, say, a hardcore MCM loyalist I would feel seen and validated by the way you explain things. I honestly don't find this trait of yours in the least bit insecure. Rather, I see you as a highly advanced communicator capable of navigating controversy. In today's strange world, your presentation of harmony discussing opposing views is frankly a bit revolutionary.
😍 (ps thank you for nacho bun time)
Well thank you Cindy, and also to Toni, Carrie and Tuesday & Charlie - I really appreciate the faith and support. ❤️I'm a perfectionist combined with being my own worst critic so it's trying at times! Thank you again!! It means a lot.
I totally agree!
One of the main reasons I watch your channel is to see your love and understanding of the wood used for each piece. I feel I can trust that you will bring each piece back to it's former self, even if that isn't how it started (like this piece was more blond). It's wonderful to see that kind of respect for the furniture or the original maker or the wood itself and also keeping things out of the landfill to be used and beautiful again. It's very unique to you and your process and I admire it a lot. Thanks for that kind of caring! It's beautiful, as always.
Angie, I love your style of teaching. You explain your reasoning for why you choose one technique over another and always sound so humble and charming. Very soothing to watch you and I’m always amazed at how gorgeous your pieces turn out!
THIS IS ANOTHER REASON WHY I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. YOU LOVE CATS! 😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻NACHO IS ADORABLE! SO WE ALL GET OUR KITTY FIX AND WATCHING YOU CREATE MAGIC AT THE SAME TIME!
AND THE PRECIOUS BUNS ARE ADORABLE TOO! NACHO LIKES THEM! HOW SWEET!
I can’t imagine any criticism. You are an artist and I agree about the wood. Don’t need to stain unless you absolutely have to. You do a wonderful job every time. The hardware turned out great. I wish I had your knowledge and talent. I’ll just keep watching. BTW the tone was blah before like you said, the new is gorgeous.
Thank you very much!
I run a violin shop and the original varnish is integral to the value of the instrument- so no matter what we fix and touch up everything. It's so interesting how different it is for furniture! Also, I restore bows and it's fine to strip any varnish off those as they're supposed to only have a French polish. I'm loving your channel! 💜
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching!
You rescued them! ✨️now they can show off their natural beauty along with their mid-century style. ✨️ thank you for spending the time to make this set as much as they can be.
You're very welcome! ☺️
I was so happy to hear you clarify “Restore- a- Finish”. You do meticulous work. Beautiful. Love nacho and the bunnies.
Your attention to detail - finishing these pieces inside and out - is a joy to watch!
Thank you very much!
Angie, I'm with you. Beautiful woodgrain should always be the star! Those pieces were like Cinderella at the ball.😊
Nacho is getting so big!
I can hear the wood saying “ahhhh, I can finally breathe “. Beautiful!
Yes! Thank you!
omg!! Angie... it's as though the pieces were enslaved (in 'factory blonde') and you came along and liberated the true nature of each piece: "Free! FREE AT LAST!! Look at us! We're BEAUTIFUL!!" They just look completely different ... and real. REAL furniture... and you see the personality of each, which I think is so important. Wow! You did (as always. Seriously!!) a stunning job! (They're HAPPY!!!).
You always find the most beautiful pieces. Even before restoration ❤️ I can't wait til the end of the video!
Holy makeover!! Gorgeous! Rich! Beautiful! I like your staging too...clean and simple allowing the furniture to be the focus. Adorable bunnies and cutest kitty!😃
Literally took my breath away, what a transformation! These are absolutely stunning after refinishing! Now I'm side-eyeing my sister's 1947 desk which we're pretty sure is solid oak, and I can't wait to get it refinished for her!
Another couple of pieces to blow me away....the grain and how you can showcase it is amazing...thankyou for the Taco and bunny love too...always an extra highlight... I had a bunny and a kitten here for a long while, the bunny was a "long eared guinea pig" come vet time as they are illegal in this state ( in Australia )... they were so playful and loving towards each other and towards me...all of us on the couch watching TV etc....fond memories
I'll let Nacho know his presence was appreciated! 😊
Angie, both of those pieces turned out so spectacularly, I’m totally impressed by your skill and vision. You do amazing work, you should be so proud of yourself. Nacho is adorable and I love seeing the bunnies. Totally cute addition to your furniture flips. Another great job giving your furniture pieces a one of a kind look. Someone will be blessed to cherish those two pieces for years to come.
Thank you so much Janet, I really appreciate that! 😊
Nacho is one of the most PRECIOUS kitties I've ever seen! And the pattern on his fur is so unique, I don't think I've ever seen something like that before. It looks like wood grain, which is SO cool in itself but also a great coincidence that his mommah refurbishes wood furniture. =)
His graining is gorgeous isn't it? 😊 Thanks so much for watching!
I would have NEVER guessed this gorgeous natural color was under that old finish. Great work. Your video narration is succinct, thoughtful and educational. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
I, too, love the natural beauty of the wood grain. You have made those sad pieces beautiful again. Excellent job!
Thank you so much!
Wow. Just wow. No words - I just keep shaking my head in disbelief at the transformation. Beautiful. From watching your channel I have finally understood about myself that walnut is my favorite - it's timeless and it's the color and grain I think of when I think of wood. Thank you for honoring the true color and beauty of those pieces.
It's absolutely one of mine too, likely my #1. Thanks so much for watching!
Like night and day. That will be someone's "antique" again in 20 years. You do such fine work.
Thanks so much!!
The grain 😍 the warm tones of the walnut 😍 on top of little baby Nacho & the gorgeous bunnies 😍 Thanks for sharing all of it Angie 💚
You're so welcome, I'm so glad you're enjoying all my content!
When I was a kid we had two cats and a rabbit. The rabbit had full run of the backyard during the day, and the cats were often out there with him. One of the cats would straddle the rabbit's back and wash his ears for him. Took a while - them was big ears. Was so cute to watch. I'm sure our cats also thought, just like Nacho, that he was one strange looking cat.
My what big ears you have strange kitty! 🐰😺😉 Thanks so much for watching!
We’ll done
Glad you mentioned the Howard product and the optional scrapers. It’s helpful to hear your broader thinking process.
Angie, your videos are not only educational, but very interesting. Nacho is adorable as well as bunnies. And your job is outstanding as always.
Thank you very much!
Love your videos and your work! You're real, no persona or putting on a show, just doing, teaching what you've learned and even have a good sense of humour. So refreshing! Just keep being you and doing what you do well. Beautiful work! :)
Thank you so much for this, and thank you for watching!
I absolutely love your purist approach to refinishing furniture! Keep doing exactly what you do and don't ever change.
These look so much better. I am surprised that the beautiful woodgrain was hidden. Well done once again. 🦋
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful before but absolutely stunning after! Another fantastic job Angie!
Thank you so much!
Nacho did great!!
You are such an inspiration to me, and I would bet....to ALL of us. Thank you for doing what you do!
You're so welcome! Thanks so much for watching!
Oh my goodness, Nacho and those bunnies are just adorable!
Aren't they great?? Thanks so much for watching! 🐰😺
Wow. They look so much more beautiful with your finishing treatment. You're the Furniture Whisperer.
Thank you so much for watching!
I love watching these Furniture flipping videos. Out of many that are on TH-cam this is my favorite you have such a wonderful inviting personality and soothing voice. Plus the pieces you do are absolutely beyond amazing! Don't second-guess yourself your pieces always turn out excellent. So true Canadian fan here!
😁⭐🇨🇦✌🏻
Thank you so much Ginger, I really appreciate that!
I'm so glad you don't 'cut corners' ;). Love your work, as always. Just watched the reveal - every time you make magic happen. The people who threw out this furniture must be kicking themselves - each time!!!!!!!!!
You are a true artist and I fondly wish for you to see how truly talented you are. You bring so much pleasurable character to the furniture you restore while providing a service to the environment and history of of these pieces. I have learned so much from you about veneer and I am almost ashamed to say I used to think it was rubbish furniture but you shed a light for me that proves otherwise and I see now it takes a true master to restore this furniture well and I aspire to be as talented.
Thank you so much for such an incredible comment. I really appreciate the kind words! ❤️
Wow! Would not think there would be such a change as on paper it doesn’t sound like it would be possible. It is flawless now. Well done.
Thanks so much for watching!
You were able to pull out such a beautiful natural colour of wood! I personaly prefer natural look of wood in furniture. This one looks so warm and homey.
Thanks for watching!
I agree 100% with your decision to reveal the natural color of the wood. These look amazing!
Thank you so much for watching!
Nacho is growing up so fast🥰…I adore Mid Century furniture…thank you for this🙏🏽
You're so welcome!
I used Odies Oil on a cherry dining room table 6 months ago. I am so impressed with the beauty of the finish and the water resistance. Am so grateful to you Angie for you promoting this product that has made my family heirloom beautiful again!
You're so welcome Katherine, it's amazing stuff isn't it? Thanks so much for watching!
Wow just beautiful, you are truly the master at getting these pieces back to beautiful, good job, loved seeing Nacho and bunnies.
OMG ! What a Transformation! WOW ! WOW ! ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! Your Work is Just OUTSTANDING ❤️❤️
Just Adore the Bunnies and Nacho ❤️
Thank you kindly! 😺🐰
They went from cheap looking to pure glam. I love the color you were able to bring out of the wood. Gorgeous!
Thank you kindly!
Wow!! What beautiful wood hidden beneath that first finish. I'm blown away by the reveal. You are very talented and elevated this piece. You always seem to make every piece better than it was.
Thank you very much!
WOW Angie!!! Every time you reveal one of your incredible transformations I think to myself...I wish the original designer/manufacturer could see what you've done. You are a true artist that brings out the beautiful potential that these pieces have had all along, and should have been from the beginning. If they were living beings, they'd be standing with pride demanding the adoration they deserve. As always, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and making these pieces shine with new life and beauty. PS...Nacho is the cutest little kitty in the world and is so blessed to have you and Andrea as parents!!! He was such a good boy with the bun buns!!!
Thank you so much for the incredibly kind words Nessa! I really appreciate that!
Holy moly Angie. They are sooooo much better now. I can't understand why they didn't celebrate the natural tone. It's gorgeous. Great job as always.
Thank you so much!
Your work is second to none! What an amazing job you have done here on these pieces. I wish I had half to the skill that you have when it comes to refinishing and repairing furniture. It has always interested me mostly because of the transformation of making the old new again and your work is just fabulous!!
Thank you so much for watching!
Angie Angie Angie missed ya!
Well I love the style and I like the color when I initially saw these pieces.
But oh God, that beautiful wood grain pops now!!!
Absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks for that metal spray for door handles I've tried a couple different types that look okay but the one you used on this project looks so much more like metal.
And the kids are getting along fine there. 😉
Thanks for sharing another awesome restoration. 👍
I absolutely love how the color came out. I am also a very big natural wood color person. I like how in modern furniture they usually don’t apply all this sad and dull thick layers of lacquer. It is much richer look what the nature has done, that you are enhancing not killing it.
I'm so glad you like it! Thank you very much for watching! 😊
Absolutely incredible job on this pair of dressers! Stunning!
Thank you so much!
stunning as always!! It always amazes me when you uncover & then showcase these beautiful hidden grains
Thank you very much!
What a beautiful transformation! That wood grain is amazing... love it!
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching!
I have a few things to say... First, beautiful job! Second, because of you and your videos I actually reglued a drawer, clamped it and looked for the "squeeze" to make sure I had enough glue. Third, I totally impressed my husband by using 2 clamps that were too small alone but by using them together they did the trick. I have learned so much from watching you work. Keep it up.
I'm so glad to hear that! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Angie, great job. How disappointing the finish failed. You did a great job refinishing them again. LOVE the bunnies and Nacho, theyare adorable and sweet! Thank you for sharing your expertise!
You're so welcome! Thanks so much for watching!
I love refinishing walnut mcm furniture with Odie’s products!! The wood grain comes alive, no need to wear gloves and it smells so good!
It does smell incredible doesn't it? Thanks so much for watching!
both pieces deserve to be this beautiful! thank you for fixing this factory mistake lol totally worthy of all of your time this week.
bravo 👏
Thank you kindly!
They look SO much better now! I think I am falling in love with walnut!
It's beautiful isn't it?? Thanks so much for watching!
Wow. Such a beautiful transformation. Love how the wood gets to shine now!
Thank you kindly!
I JUST HAVE TO SAY! The beauty of your honest work blows me away! Also, the care with which you take care of all your pieces is commendable! Your voice is excellent. Thank you for the sharing of Odies oil and the appropriate way in which to scrape! I am just beginning to get back into refinishing. Currently, I am working on my girls’ over 100 years old front screen door. ~ one of the oldest homes in Walla Walla, WA…right on dynamo - you be good!
Thanks so much for watching Mary! I hope you had success with the door!
Beautifully restored!!!!
Oh wow! Beyond breath taking!!
WOW look at that amazing wood grain .... I love seeing the beautiful way you bring back the natural woods. I get sometimes you have to paint but this time wow you did justice to these pieces. Great job.
Thank you so much Michele!
Wow, what an improvement! The refinished pieces are so much warmer & more elegant looking. If anyone has anything negative to say then they need their eyes examined! These turned out beautiful. Thank you for such thorough work & explaining your thoughts on your work processes.❤️
Thank you so much!
Absolutely unbelievable, the transformation is glorious!!
Thank you!
Those.... are totally stunning! Stellar work as always!
Thanks!
WOW, that piece looks sooo much better now. The colour of the wood is beautiful. Well done, I love it! 😍
Thanks so much for watching!
You have worked your magic! It's a beautiful transformation, as usual. I love your work!
I'm so glad! Thanks so much for watching!
Absolutely gorgeous!!!! I’m always impressed with your work!
Thank you kindly!
I love this color. They don’t even look like the same pieces. These are beautiful.
Thanks so much for watching!
Love what you did. Wow! you work so hard. You brought it back to life so to speak. Sunlight destroys a lot. Art work, furniture, soft furnishings and curtains to name but a few.
Nacho is the cutest❣️never get enough of the bunnies❣️
You do such a beautiful job! Thank you!
Beautiful!! Thank you for making it beautiful again!!
My pleasure 😊
Wow! Good call on the refinishing. They turned out absolutely gorgeous.
Thanks so much!
You don't have to excuse the way you work or treat your furniture. It's your way of working and I think it will be absolutely fantastic.
Don't care what other people think, maybe that's their way of working. And there is always someone who has to criticize, maybe it boosts their self-esteem.
I do not excuse my lack of grammatical knowledge.
👍😉

Thank you so much for watching!
So, so helpful! I’m getting ready to work with a desk I own. The grain pattern that flows up the front of the drawers of the dresser is so gorgeous. It’s astounding to think they would have covered that with factory finish! Your work is so beautiful, Angie!
Thank you so much!
You know, for bringing back all the richness of the colour, the end result is still somehow softer than the original finish and it's much less harsh on the eyes imo. You've done an incredible job as always
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that.
Yayy bunnies! I was starting to think I woudn't see any! Beautiful warm color on the natural wood btw
I'm so glad you got to see them Beth! Thanks so much for watching!
As always the pieces look richer and more elegant after you’re done with them.
Glad you like them!
Gorgeous! Love your animals too.
Thank you so much! 😊
Beautiful Job!!!!! They look incredible!!!!!!!😊👍
Another superb set of furniture touched by the furniture angel.
Thank you for watching!
These are beautiful. Love seeing the wood grain!❤
Thank you very much! 🙂
the grain matching on the tall dresser especially is stunning after all your loving care! i hope you recouped your investment of time and energy. someone's getting a great set!
Thank you so much!
Oh my! I'm glad you got a hold to them. They're gorgeous 😍
Thank you very much!
The color is gorgeous! Absolutely stunning
Thank you very much!
Wow! So beautiful, it really comes alive again even better than before 💖
Thank you kindly!
Thank you for sharing that about the layers being like an archeological dig.
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Absolutely gorgeous wood - I can't understand why anyone would cover it up like it was - beautiful work!
Thanks so much!
WOW... Those turned out really nice. Great job, as usual.
Thanks a bunch!
Stunning transformation! You've got me wondering how much better my midcentury furniture would with a refinishing.
Thanks for watching!
I cannot believe how wonderful Odies works to bring out the best of the wood. Another great job. Thanks for sharing.
They are so beautiful I love them. I love that you take pride in your work
Thanks for watching!
They turned out beautiful.
Great job and the vision you have is incredible. 👍
Thank you very much!
Just amazing to me that these beauties were there all along and the manufacturer chose to cover them up with that awful finish. Once again, you've made them better than new.
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Spectacular work as usual! Your artistry shines thru every single time 😍. Bravo 👏🏽 👏🏽

Beautiful work as always!
