What a wonderful job you did saving this piece of furniture! I am with the other commenters who said if you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed the ‘mistake’. It is such a beautiful piece now that NO ONE will notice or care. I am a quilter and have to stop myself from pointing out ‘mistakes’ in my work that no one else ever sees (including other quilters). You took a roadside piece of trash and turned it into a gorgeous piece of furniture that anyone would be proud to have in their home. Well done! (Also love the bunny rescue)!
Linda has said everything I would say if I were as articulate as she. This piece is stunning! Also, I hope and pray all the little rescue bunnies are doing well. Thank you for this video!
I agree. I understand how you feel as someone who aims to do an excellent job but I looked closely and couldn't see anything that detracted from its beauty.
That is a stunning restoration. Only you would notice the "error" and in any case it is how the manufacturer made it. That is part of the history of the piece.
Agreed!! It’s part of the history, and if you hadn’t mentioned it, I doubt many would have noticed. I looked for it and didn’t! GREAT JOB!!! I was sad this was over so quickly. What a stunning transformation. I hope your discovery doesn’t completely overshadow what you accomplished.
You said exactly what I was going to say. It’s the history of the piece. The fact that it was even noticed at all shows how an AWSOME true professional knows something is not flawed but off. Then she states the discovery before the reveal. This woman is a true GOLDEN professional💥you rarely find any more.
So true about the handle placement telling a historical story. I wonder what happened? Did some carpenter have a bad day? I'm making up all kinds of stories in my brain.
I apologize, I can’t see / notice the mistake. I consider myself a perfectionist, I am sorry you felt the issue was egregious, I understand the feeling. Please don’t be too hard on yourself. This is now a beautiful piece.
Quit beating your self up Angie! You saved/rescued a fabulous piece of furniture. How people can throw away things like this is baffling to the mind! And hurt baby or any animal is just incomprehensible!😢❤🎉
When an artist starts a project they usually have an idea of what that piece will look like when they're done with it (certainly what they want it to look like) - whatever medium that happens to be. When a piece is complete and parts of the whole deviate from the artists vision it can be incredibly frustrating. Regardless of if the finished product is beautiful or not - it simply does not match what the artist had in mind (for whatever reason) and that can be a letdown.
Angie don't be so hard on yourself. I'm looking at the reveal and every handle looks individual and beautiful. They look great right where they are. You did a fabulous job. I hope all the little rescues are back to good health soon, especially the little guy who's fighting the big fight. You're amazing to do such wonderful work with the fur babies.
As a child of the '60s, I've NEVER been a mid-century furniture fan. I always preferred antiques, even as a little girl! But this is drop-dead gorgeous. Well done!
Holy cow, wow! This looks amazing! It reminds me of high end exotic wood furniture from Indonesia. You are such a talented craftsman. Part of your talent is that you are a perfectionist (so am I), but I honestly think if you hadn't pointed it out, no one, or very few, would have noticed. It came out quite stunning. Excellent job!
Same here! I grew up with this type of furniture and never had a taste for it. Until recently, my parents still had their MCM furniture and it was in really good shape for being close to 70 years old. These past few years I've come to appreciate the design element with MCM and I think she really did a wonderful job at restoring this piece.
Honestly I still couldn't see the "mistake" on the handles, even after you mentioned it. The dresser is gorgeous and you have given it a new life. I'm so perplexed about the weird plastic grain thing on the top; the veneer underneath was gorgeous and I'm so happy you peeled that other thing off. It's absolutely beautiful and it will have a new life now. Also....thanks for the work you do with the bunnies. A few years ago I had a family of wild bunnies living in my back yard and it was so much fun to watch them grow up.
In the center drawers the light streak is so small, nobody will notice. Chalk it up to learning new things. Stop beating yourself up!! It came out beautiful.
In the middle row, the top handle was installed on the bottom, and the bottom on the top. If you imagine that diagonal pale streak on the bottom right on top, it would align with the streak on the middle handle where it fades off. I’m even more of a perfectionist: I love the gradations on the left column of drawers, and think they should be in the center as a focal point!
Good GOD you turned that thing into a masterpiece. I can see the handle swap since you pointed it out but I'm not kidding here, the only impression I got at the reveal was how you turned something I would literally have made barf noises at into an absolutely stunning piece of furniture. That thing was mindblowing beautiful in the end.
You my dear are a perfectionist!!! No one is ever going to even notice that "mistake", wood grains are always a little different so be sooo proud of this save and restoration!
No one would have ever noticed that “error” and for you to be bothered by it shows just how much of a perfectionist you really are! I think it looks absolutely stunning and it looks like a brand new very high end piece of furniture. You did an amazing job as always. I also noticed you decided to keep those green vases you picked up at the yard sale after. Good choice on keeping them and keeping their color 💚
Angie, stop being so hard on yourself! Your work is amazing. All wood is going to vary from piece to piece. It is to be celebrated. P.s. I think the piece looks great as is.
Same here ! If she haven't said it, I wouldn't have noticed it... @Steen Pedersen let those handles here they are, thing no need to be perfect, it already had a second life for many years, I hope !
That reveal was stunning! I’d pay top dollar for that beautiful piece of furniture- not a single person was ever going to notice the drawer handles were in the wrong place - only an expert like yourself, would notice that.
If it makes you feel any better, I was trying to look hard for the “mistake” and couldn’t find it even though you told us about it. Beautiful restore!! Well done.
I personally do not like this style of furniture (just my taste), but i audibly gasped when you showed the final result, because it looks like such a polished, beautiful piece of furniture with history and so much love for the material. I also like how you presented it and how well everything fits together. I am at awe of your skill and you brought this to shine. While it might not be my taste, i can absolutely see the craftmanship and beauty of this piece. You let it sing.
Same. I'm not a fan of mid-century furniture personally, but I always enjoy watching people restoring them and giving them new life. And this piece turned out amazing!
Unique looking piece, Angie' I grew up during the mid=century and have never seen drawer handles like that. As usual, you did another fantastic makeover. The bunnies were absolutely adorable. I hope they all find wonderful forever homes soon. You have such a good soul. We enjoy your efforts and wish you well, always. -- Dave & Amy
This is yet another beautiful restoration. I can't notice the "error" even after watching the video multiple times, and trying to find it! But I also understand we are our own worst critic. I think it's beautiful, and think everyone else will too.
Gorgeous. I'm a quilter and sometimes patch piece work doesn't always match up perfectly. I have learned that this is what gives the textile an authentic, hand crafted distinction. Some call it the "character of the quilt." I have come to peace with some imperfection in my quilts. In your final reveal, I looked at the handles and couldn't see any obvious flaw. I admire your integrity with your craft. Sometimes what is forgiven actually enhances your final piece. Also...your furry friends, thank you for saving those little sweeties.
My mom used to always tell me "don't let perfect be the enemy of good" and I think that applies here. Any time we make something we notice the errors, but other people don't. Don't let one tiny little mistake ruin the whole amazing transformation. Especially since it wasn't even your mistake!
Thank you for mentioning the name of the bunny rescue - I found their website and donated a little. I have a lot of respect and awe for volunteer-run rescue organizations. It’s a lot of work, dedication and expense to give these little guys a chance, and that’s absolutely worth supporting. ❤️
Oh Angie - as someone who is also very sensitive, my heart aches for you. 🤗 Here's a slice of reality: I would never have thought to look for anything if you hadn't made that "confession" just before the reveal. 🤔As it is, I STILL didn't detect any glaring differences.🤭 As we all know, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", and this dresser is stunningly beautiful. 😍 You are already marked for sainthood as an animal lover and bunny rescuer. ❤😉 Try not to invest so much of your heart into these pieces of furniture. It's not good for you. 🥰 Life advice from an old lady. 😜😁 P.S. Love the green vase!! Good call on not painting them (yet...). 🤣
Saving it from the landfill was the best thing ever and the results are fabulous. I enjoy watching when you keep all the polls with the furniture, and you keep it looking like a classic that it is. Many people don't keep grandma's furniture but that is your style and ours who are keeping your channel going. A job well done again and again.
This came out STUNNING 🤩 Most of us would have left it there to be trash, or painted it. The time, attention, and care you put into this piece to show it’s beauty is admirable. You are a true artist. I would have never noticed the issue with the handles, they are each unique and beautiful. Thank you for sharing the rescue bunny adventure and I hope they’re doing great!
The term "mental spackle" comes to mind. That's what we say in my house when something doesn't turn out exactly how we want it to. This piece is breathtaking. What a gift to be able to revive a dresser that is vastly superior to the modern day fast fashion type of furniture we see everywhere. You completely honored it. And to be honest, it's kind of charming that the manufacturer messed up. Adds to the specialness...
It truly is GORGEOUS! Love the rich color and the spectacular grain. I do think it is a case of "If you aren't notified, you wouldn't notice." There is still a nice flow in the handles from one drawer to the next.
Musty smell, at least with solid wood pieces, can be ironed out. Literally ironed. I have a small table that started smelly musty (British homes can be damp....we need a dehumidifier) and I took it apart and ironed it after giving it a scrub. You can take your time with the iron, because you need to get the heat deep enough into the pores of the wood to kill the fungus. A steamer might also work, but obviously you don't really want to add more moisture if you can help it. Anyways, it took me about 45 minutes to iron every surface and, 6 months later, it still just smells like fresh wood. Maybe that will help you, or others, dealing with mold/mildew/musty smells in solid wood.
Thanks for save those treasure of furniture !!!! You save history somehow😉!!! Thank you, for show us, how you do :so many people throw that away (when you can give them àn another life) Well done, for what you're do, even if you you'll be probably not reward for that (it count 😉!!!!)
It’s a beautiful piece after you refinished it. What an amazing job. You know your stuff for sure. Nobody will ever guess there’s a mistake. Also thanks for helping out those rabbits!💕
Fantastic job and don't worry about those drawer handles, I doubt anyone would notice or worry about them and I don't think they take anything away from the finished result.
This piece is beautiful! Don't sell yourself short. You are very talented and very meticulous and it shows in everything you do. Be proud of your work it's why you have so many loyal followers.💗💗💗
OK - a few things... 1. Wow - what a transformation!! I watched you do it and still can't believe how nice it turned out. 2. I think 97% of people would never notice the handle issue. I wouldn't have if you hadn't called attention to it. I don't think it detracts from the piece at all. 3.THANK you so much for your bunny rescue work! My niece has a domesticated rabbit and I have two wild rabbits that live in my back yard that I keep a careful watch over. They are wonderful creatures. 🙂
All I see is a stunning piece of furniture. Amazing!! I want to thank you for all your hard work. I have learned so much from watching your videos. I applaud you for keeping up with this type of work, even when you have to put up with criticism and negative comments. I hope you know that there are so many of us out here that appreciate you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 🥰
I love every one of your restorations. This one was exceptional. You also have a soothing voice and I love listening to you and learning so much from you. Haven't attempted any of the projects sitting in my basement and garage. Feel that I still need to learn so much and therefore love watching your TH-cam channel.
I am a Quilter. I never point out my mistakes, which always occur. Then the mistake is what your eye sees. Don't worry about it. The piece was absolutely stunning!
This is a STUNNING piece. I am a Mid Mod girlie and am beyond Thrilled you saved it. I would purchase this piece ExActly as it is and not change One Thing. It is ✨️Perfect.✨️
"It's not an error. It's a design element." I know that gets used as an excuse a lot of times but in this case I would embrace it. It's how the manufacturer put it together so it was their vision. Honestly, I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't said anything and I think most people wouldn't either. This is a beautiful piece of work.
I’m not usually a mid century furniture lover, but this piece is stunning! If you hadn’t said anything, most of us would have just considered it part of the character. I know, we perfectionists are our worst critic. I do “fine” needlework and years ago if there was the slightest mistake I used to get really upset and bummed. I ripped it out and started over. Now l’m kinder and gentler in my older age. Consider the issue gives it character. It’s amazing you were able to keep it out of the landfill. Walnut has such beautiful grains and patterns. You were able to bring out the absolute best of the wood. Love the bunny rescue intermission. Hopefully, all bunnies will pull through.
Girl, you are way too hard on yourself! This is stunning! I could feel your disappointment and it just hurt my heart. It's absolutely gorgeous. And THANK YOU for being so lovely and taking in these bunnies. I just adore bunnies, and seeing you get emotional made me tear up. You are an amazing human!
The way the wood grain flows through the piece made me go 'Wow' and replay that reveal several times over just to enjoy how gorgeous it looks. I am not someone who usually appreciates woodgrain (too much heavy teak in my childhood!) but this dresser is something special. Thank you for sharing the journey with us.
The legs are perfection. I think your perfect eye for detail sees the “mistake” but the casual observer its a georgeous finished product that anyone would be happy to purchase and will have a long expected new life. Fabulous restoration from the literal trash as always.
Oh Angie! You are magnificent ✨️ in so many ways! The dresser is PERFECT! Even with you pointing out the drawer pulls and their color... I really don't see it! We look at the "whole", not the parts. And the bunnies! God bless you! They are precious. I dub thee Madame Rescuer 🥰
This episode is an emotional roller coaster! That you care so much about what is important to you to take on responsibility personally to want to correct the mistakes of others is pretty evident, from the bunny rescue to the concern you have about this gorgeous project. I would not have seen that error if you had not pointed it out, and once you did it still looks beautiful to me and is part of the story.
Amazing!!! I think this is one of my favorites. The handles don’t bother me. I see you used one of the vases in the reveal. I like that you kept the original color.
Just watched this amazing transformation! You are so talented and meticulous in your efforts to give these pieces new life! This piece is gorgeous, and I had to rewatch the reveal twice to figure out what you were talking about! Don't worry about that little inconsistancy. It's a beauty!
This restoration looks gorgeous! I've seen other people mention it and I will as well, I was struggling to find the error for the front pieces. Either or, don't beat yourself up over it, mistakes happen. Plus, it was a manufacturing mistake to begin with. You've mentioned in several previous videos how dings and scratches and blemishes that can't be removed can be viewed as characyer for the piece; part of its story. The mistake with the handles is just this piece's story. I wouldn't worry about tearing it apart and "fixing" it if it were me! ❤️
You’re killing me! I’ve had so much work to do over the past 2 days but instead, I’ve gone on a deep dive watching your fabulous videos! Angie, you’re so incredibly talented! You’ll be at 1 million followers in no time! Hugs!
That is stunning! You are very gifted to be able to re-create this piece! I tried to see something off, like you were saying, but I couldn't see anything wrong! The only way this could be more beautiful to me is to have it in my home! Bravo!
I can’t believe how amazing this looks. You definitely inspire me to refurbish a piece rather than painting. There are pieces that I’d paint instead. But I’m definitely inspired to look a little harder and see if I can bring it back to natural before I paint.
I've been wanting to get into refurbishing so I clicked on this video...not only are you a great inspiration but you are also a fellow bunny rescue mom!!!
Just beautiful!!!!OMG Thanks for the video;) I need to fix my mothers MCM dresser on top due to cigarette burns and had no idea where to start:( This has answered every question I have. It is a cherry piece and beautiful other wise. Wish me luck! Your resue piece is just amazing -WELL DONE - SO MUCH TALENT! GOD BLESS Look forward to more videos.
Honestly I love it! 100% as is. As an artist myself -- we look too closely at our work and creations - often to the detriment of the piece if we mess with it. You did another amazing service here and the result is gorgeous.
A stellar resto as always. I find it interesting that when these pieces were made they would stain and tint and conceal a lot of the grain patterns. Today we want to celebrate the color variations and natural grains and you do that so beautifully. Sending healing energy to wounded little bunny, be sure and let us now how they do.
Man, this is beautiful! I would never have noticed the “mistake” and had to rewind 5 times to see it. You’re fantastic and I’m SO GLAD you rescued it! XOXO Heidi
Honestly Angie, no one would have ever noticed the handle dilemma if you hadn't pointed it out. You do amazing work and the dresser is stunning. Every piece of furniture has a story, and thanks to your incredible talent, this piece that you rescued from it's impending demise, will now live on to tell it's manufacturer's handle mix-up for years to come, but only to those who are able to discover it's secret!
This is absolutely stunning! You really did this piece justice. I didn’t notice the mistake even after you pointed it out. An old friend of mine always reminded me that “beauty is in the imperfection.” 😌 Really I inspiring work 👏
Ooo, watching you peel the top covering off was so satisfying. What a gorgeous piece. I would have never known or cared about the mix up with the handles. This was a magnificent furniture rescue. And an awesome bunny rescue too.
I think this is the most beautiful piece I've seen you do! You saved her from the trash and made her into a lovely piece some will treasure! Sometimes you have to give your work a minute, take a step away because of the laser focus on the details, and look at it again. Then you see the "big picture" is pretty flipping nice!
This looks amazing! I'm a total perfectionist too so I can understand how it would bother you after putting so much into it. Frankly, I don't think most people would even notice and would just love to have it in their home. Including me! It's gorgeous! You're the best!
Once again you have saved an abandoned piece of furniture and have given it new life. I am new to your channel and so appreciate the exquisite attention to detail you show to each restoration. I never would have noticed the "mistake" and I certainly feel that it doesn't detract from the overall rescue of this dresser! Be kind to yourself, it wasn't your error and in truth it adds a depth of character to your piece.
What a wonderful job you did saving this piece of furniture! I am with the other commenters who said if you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed the ‘mistake’. It is such a beautiful piece now that NO ONE will notice or care. I am a quilter and have to stop myself from pointing out ‘mistakes’ in my work that no one else ever sees (including other quilters).

I know exactly what you mean being a quilter myself. We do seem to find fault rather than the actual beauty!
I agree. I understand how you feel as someone who aims to do an excellent job but I looked closely and couldn't see anything
that detracted from its beauty.
I totally agree. We are, our worse critics
Ha ha. I just said the same thing before reading all the comments. great minds think alike
That is a stunning restoration. Only you would notice the "error" and in any case it is how the manufacturer made it. That is part of the history of the piece.
Agreed!! It’s part of the history, and if you hadn’t mentioned it, I doubt many would have noticed. I looked for it and didn’t! GREAT JOB!!! I was sad this was over so quickly. What a stunning transformation. I hope your discovery doesn’t completely overshadow what you accomplished.

So true about the handle placement telling a historical story. I wonder what happened? Did some carpenter have a bad day? I'm making up all kinds of stories in my brain.
I like this comment a lot. Many times items are sought after based on manufacturing goofs. You did an amazing job, really, beautiful work!
I apologize, I can’t see / notice the mistake. I consider myself a perfectionist, I am sorry you felt the issue was egregious, I understand the feeling. Please don’t be too hard on yourself. This is now a beautiful piece.
You’re such a pro.. Also I think the handles being “out of place” actually looks good 🙂
@Modern Makeovers I agree! Gives it a “uniqueness”
I agree, I like the way the handles look
I only watch 2 furniture restoration channels, both Canadian. Great to see @Modern Makeovers in the comments here!
Thank you so much :-)
You are probably the only one who’d notice. It doesn’t diminish the beauty of the piece ❤️
We are our own worst critics. You did something amazing with literal trash. Give yourself the grace and kindness that you would give others.❤❤❤
Thank you so much for watching!

Just gorgeous ain't it!!!!
As a child of the '60s, I've NEVER been a mid-century furniture fan. I always preferred antiques, even as a little girl! But this is drop-dead gorgeous. Well done!
I'll take that as high praise then! Thank you so much for watching! 😊

Don’t be so hard on yourself! I would buy this restored piece over a new one any day of the week. You have a great eye for detail….🧐🧐
Stunning! Thank you for not painting it and for keeping the original pulls. It's beautiful.
Glad you like it!
Same here 👍

Perhaps she can paint in darker stripes on the handles to match?
@@Ben4149 There is only one thing to do, take them off. ☹

If it makes you feel any better, I was trying to look hard for the “mistake” and couldn’t find it even though you told us about it.
Beautiful restore!! Well done.
Same, I still don't know what the mistake is 🤣
Can't see any mistake at all. looks great to me!
Thank you so much for watching!
You are so hard on yourself. This turned out beautiful, and the handles look good as is. Another fine job.
It's amazing what a talented artist can do with someone's "garbage." Awesome job!

How nice to see someone appreciating & value other’s work enough to make it better than found! Great job.

Oh Angie - as someone who is also very sensitive, my heart aches for you. 🤗 Here's a slice of reality: I would never have thought to look for anything if you hadn't made that "confession" just before the reveal. 🤔As it is, I STILL didn't detect any glaring differences.🤭 As we all know, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", and this dresser is stunningly beautiful. 😍 You are already marked for sainthood as an animal lover and bunny rescuer. ❤😉 Try not to invest so much of your heart into these pieces of furniture. It's not good for you. 🥰 Life advice from an old lady. 😜😁 P.S. Love the green vase!! Good call on not painting them (yet...). 🤣
Stunning transformation! Wonderful Work!🥰 congratulations!
Thanks so much! 😊
Saving it from the landfill was the best thing ever and the results are fabulous. I enjoy watching when you keep all the polls with the furniture, and you keep it looking like a classic that it is. Many people don't keep grandma's furniture but that is your style and ours who are keeping your channel going. A job well done again and again.
This came out STUNNING 🤩 Most of us would have left it there to be trash, or painted it. The time, attention, and care you put into this piece to show it’s beauty is admirable. You are a true artist. I would have never noticed the issue with the handles, they are each unique and beautiful. Thank you for sharing the rescue bunny adventure and I hope they’re doing great!
Thanks so much 😊
The term "mental spackle" comes to mind. That's what we say in my house when something doesn't turn out exactly how we want it to. This piece is breathtaking. What a gift to be able to revive a dresser that is vastly superior to the modern day fast fashion type of furniture we see everywhere. You completely honored it. And to be honest, it's kind of charming that the manufacturer messed up. Adds to the specialness...
Thank you very much Kate!
It truly is GORGEOUS! Love the rich color and the spectacular grain. I do think it is a case of "If you aren't notified, you wouldn't notice." There is still a nice flow in the handles from one drawer to the next.
Thank you kindly!
I didn’t notice the error, even after looking for it 😂 But idc, your pieces are always special and high end. You’re the best!
You sure are..
Never perfect so lighten up Ms. Bunny!
I actually like the “flaw” in the pattern. Who ever buys this has this great story about it. And to be honest, most folks wouldn’t even notice it.
I actually kept this one for myself - it's in our living room. Thanks so much for watching!
Musty smell, at least with solid wood pieces, can be ironed out. Literally ironed. I have a small table that started smelly musty (British homes can be damp....we need a dehumidifier) and I took it apart and ironed it after giving it a scrub. You can take your time with the iron, because you need to get the heat deep enough into the pores of the wood to kill the fungus. A steamer might also work, but obviously you don't really want to add more moisture if you can help it. Anyways, it took me about 45 minutes to iron every surface and, 6 months later, it still just smells like fresh wood. Maybe that will help you, or others, dealing with mold/mildew/musty smells in solid wood.
Very cool tip!
I really like this idea, instead of using chemicals to get rid of mildew. Great suggestion! 😎😊
Thanks for save those treasure of furniture !!!!
You save history somehow😉!!!
Thank you, for show us, how you do :so many people throw that away (when you can give them àn another life)
Well done, for what you're do, even if you you'll be probably not reward for that (it count 😉!!!!)
You're welcome! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
It’s a beautiful piece after you refinished it. What an amazing job. You know your stuff for sure. Nobody will ever guess there’s a mistake. Also thanks for helping out those rabbits!💕
Thanks so much for watching!
Fantastic job and don't worry about those drawer handles, I doubt anyone would notice or worry about them and I don't think they take anything away from the finished result.
This piece is beautiful! Don't sell yourself short. You are very talented and very meticulous and it shows in everything you do. Be proud of your work it's why you have so many loyal followers.💗💗💗
Thank you kindly Ann!
Absolutely beautiful! And, I can't explain it, but the handles that break the pattern actually add to artistry of the entire piece.
OK - a few things... 1. Wow - what a transformation!! I watched you do it and still can't believe how nice it turned out. 2. I think 97% of people would never notice the handle issue. I wouldn't have if you hadn't called attention to it. I don't think it detracts from the piece at all. 3.THANK you so much for your bunny rescue work! My niece has a domesticated rabbit and I have two wild rabbits that live in my back yard that I keep a careful watch over. They are wonderful creatures. 🙂
All I see is a stunning piece of furniture. Amazing!!
I want to thank you for all your hard work. I have learned so much from watching your videos. I applaud you for keeping up with this type of work, even when you have to put up with criticism and negative comments. I hope you know that there are so many of us out here that appreciate you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 🥰
Thank you so much for watching Kelley!
I think this piece is gorgeous, you did a wonderful job and I'd be proud to have a piece like this in my home!
Thank you so much!
I looked and looked and couldn’t see the mistake! It’s ABSOLUTELY amazing!
I'm so glad you like it!
I love every one of your restorations. This one was exceptional. You also have a soothing voice and I love listening to you and learning so much from you. Haven't attempted any of the projects sitting in my basement and garage. Feel that I still need to learn so much and therefore love watching your TH-cam channel.
I'm so glad you're finding my content helpful! Best of luck when you do decide to give it a go. Thanks so much for watching!
I am a Quilter. I never point out my mistakes, which always occur. Then the mistake is what your eye sees. Don't worry about it. The piece was absolutely stunning!
Actually, as a quilter, I think those deep, rather square drawers would be perfect for fabric storage!
I haven't found a new channel to be obsessed with for ages. Your videos are sooooooooo calming. It's like visual ASMR.
I'm a new viewer and I was thinking the same exact thing about it being like ASMR!!
This is a STUNNING piece. I am a Mid Mod girlie and am beyond Thrilled you saved it. I would purchase this piece ExActly as it is and not change
One
Thing.
It is ✨️Perfect.✨️
Thank you so much! I actually fell in love with the flaw and kept it so I completely agree with you! ❤️
"It's not an error. It's a design element." I know that gets used as an excuse a lot of times but in this case I would embrace it. It's how the manufacturer put it together so it was their vision. Honestly, I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't said anything and I think most people wouldn't either. This is a beautiful piece of work.
Thank you very much Lisa!
I’m not usually a mid century furniture lover, but this piece is stunning! If you hadn’t said anything, most of us would have just considered it part of the character. I know, we perfectionists are our worst critic. I do “fine” needlework and years ago if there was the slightest mistake I used to get really upset and bummed. I ripped it out and started over. Now l’m kinder and gentler in my older age. Consider the issue gives it character. It’s amazing you were able to keep it out of the landfill. Walnut has such beautiful grains and patterns. You were able to bring out the absolute best of the wood.
Love the bunny rescue intermission. Hopefully, all bunnies will pull through.
Thank you so much for watching Marie! 🐰
You did such a lovely job on this. I am not a mid century modern furniture enthusiast, but you have made me love this piece!! Great job!!!❤️👍🎉
It's so beautiful. So many of us would have let it go to the trash. Such a talent, thank you for showing us this and all your work!
You are so welcome! 😀
Girl, you are way too hard on yourself! This is stunning! I could feel your disappointment and it just hurt my heart. It's absolutely gorgeous. And THANK YOU for being so lovely and taking in these bunnies. I just adore bunnies, and seeing you get emotional made me tear up. You are an amazing human!
Thank you so much Melissa, I really appreciate that!
As a carpenter contractors daughter I have to say that there is nothing better that beautiful wood! Very well done!
Thanks so much!
It is absolutely beautiful! What a talent. ❤
You are an artist. Regards from Brazil❤
Thank you so much! 😊
The way the wood grain flows through the piece made me go 'Wow' and replay that reveal several times over just to enjoy how gorgeous it looks. I am not someone who usually appreciates woodgrain (too much heavy teak in my childhood!) but this dresser is something special. Thank you for sharing the journey with us.
Wow, thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
The legs are perfection. I think your perfect eye for detail sees the “mistake” but the casual observer its a georgeous finished product that anyone would be happy to purchase and will have a long expected new life. Fabulous restoration from the literal trash as always.
Oh Angie! You are magnificent ✨️ in so many ways! The dresser is PERFECT! Even with you pointing out the drawer pulls and their color... I really don't see it! We look at the "whole", not the parts.
And the bunnies! God bless you! They are precious. I dub thee Madame Rescuer 🥰
Classic and timeless beauty
Thank you kindly! 😊
Amazing! You're too hard on yourself!
This episode is an emotional roller coaster! That you care so much about what is important to you to take on responsibility personally to want to correct the mistakes of others is pretty evident, from the bunny rescue to the concern you have about this gorgeous project. I would not have seen that error if you had not pointed it out, and once you did it still looks beautiful to me and is part of the story.
Thank you kindly Viki!
Once again amazing rescue - furniture + bunny! Glad to see the vase is still green.
Sometimes we can't always be perfect Hardly anybody will probably even notice it It looks good
Thank you very much!
I am so not a fan of mid century modern. But what you did with this piece is absolutely STUNNING! Beyond stunning.
Thank you kindly!
Bite your tongue. LOL. Mid century is classic. It will never go out of style.
Looks incredible!
Absolutely beautiful, great work!! And the new green vase looks great on it 😊
Amazing! Whatever you consider a mistake just adds to the charm of the finished item!!👏👏👏
So true! I actually fell in love with the flaw and kept this piece for our living room. 😊
Amazing!!! I think this is one of my favorites. The handles don’t bother me. I see you used one of the vases in the reveal. I like that you kept the original color.
Just watched this amazing transformation! You are so talented and meticulous in your efforts to give these pieces new life! This piece is gorgeous, and I had to rewatch the reveal twice to figure out what you were talking about! Don't worry about that little inconsistancy. It's a beauty!
Thank you so much!
This restoration looks gorgeous! I've seen other people mention it and I will as well, I was struggling to find the error for the front pieces. Either or, don't beat yourself up over it, mistakes happen. Plus, it was a manufacturing mistake to begin with. You've mentioned in several previous videos how dings and scratches and blemishes that can't be removed can be viewed as characyer for the piece; part of its story. The mistake with the handles is just this piece's story. I wouldn't worry about tearing it apart and "fixing" it if it were me! ❤️
I would not touch it. It looks fabulous. Great job with the grain and pattern!
I didn't. 😉 I actually fell in love with the flaw and kept this piece for our living room. Thank you so much for watching! 😊
You’re killing me! I’ve had so much work to do over the past 2 days but instead, I’ve gone on a deep dive watching your fabulous videos! Angie, you’re so incredibly talented! You’ll be at 1 million followers in no time! Hugs!
Thank you so much Margaret! I'm sorry I'm distracting you from your work but happy you're enjoying my content at the same time. 😊
That is stunning! You are very gifted to be able to re-create this piece! I tried to see something off, like you were saying, but I couldn't see anything wrong! The only way this could be more beautiful to me is to have it in my home! Bravo!
Thank you very much Ann!
I was so pleased to see you put the drawers back in the right order. The grain flowed beautifully. You do some really inspiring work.
Thank you very much Beth!
Looks great as is. Fellow perfectionist here-LEAVE IT BE.
I did. 😄I actually fell in love with the flaw and kept the piece. 😊
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery I'm so glad you did!! I was going to comment that the story you uncovered made the piece even cooler!
I can’t believe how amazing this looks. You definitely inspire me to refurbish a piece rather than painting. There are pieces that I’d paint instead. But I’m definitely inspired to look a little harder and see if I can bring it back to natural before I paint.
I'm so glad I can inspire you fellow Angie. Any piece saved is a win as far as I'm concerned. Thanks so much for watching!
The magic you work on sad and neglected pieces is just awesome!!
I've been wanting to get into refurbishing so I clicked on this video...not only are you a great inspiration but you are also a fellow bunny rescue mom!!!
I am indeed! Thanks so much for watching! 🐰
Just beautiful!!!!OMG Thanks for the video;) I need to fix my mothers MCM dresser on top due to cigarette burns and had no idea where to start:( This has answered every question I have. It is a cherry piece and beautiful other wise. Wish me luck! Your resue piece is just amazing -WELL DONE - SO MUCH TALENT! GOD BLESS Look forward to more videos.
I'm so glad I could help! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Honestly I love it! 100% as is. As an artist myself -- we look too closely at our work and creations - often to the detriment of the piece if we mess with it. You did another amazing service here and the result is gorgeous.
A stellar resto as always. I find it interesting that when these pieces were made they would stain and tint and conceal a lot of the grain patterns. Today we want to celebrate the color variations and natural grains and you do that so beautifully. Sending healing energy to wounded little bunny, be sure and let us now how they do.
Man, this is beautiful! I would never have noticed the “mistake” and had to rewind 5 times to see it. You’re fantastic and I’m SO GLAD you rescued it! XOXO Heidi
Thank you for watching Heidi!
Beautiful!
Many thanks! 😊
Step back. This is a spectacular piece 23:29 with lots of movement in the grain you revealed. Beautiful.
Thanks so much for watching! 😀
Honestly Angie, no one would have ever noticed the handle dilemma if you hadn't pointed it out. You do amazing work and the dresser is stunning. Every piece of furniture has a story, and thanks to your incredible talent, this piece that you rescued from it's impending demise, will now live on to tell it's manufacturer's handle mix-up for years to come, but only to those who are able to discover it's secret!
Thank you so much for watching!
This is absolutely stunning! You really did this piece justice. I didn’t notice the mistake even after you pointed it out. An old friend of mine always reminded me that “beauty is in the imperfection.” 😌 Really I inspiring work 👏
Thank you so much Lori!! ❤️
I couldn't notice any error, this almost made me cry!!! This is absolutely beautiful!!!! 🥰😍
Thank you so much!! 😊
Ooo, watching you peel the top covering off was so satisfying. What a gorgeous piece. I would have never known or cared about the mix up with the handles. This was a magnificent furniture rescue. And an awesome bunny rescue too.
I can appreciate the skill that goes into restoring a piece such as this. Good job! There's so much treasure under the "trash" people throw out.
Yes there is! Thanks for watching!
I think this is the most beautiful piece I've seen you do! You saved her from the trash and made her into a lovely piece some will treasure! Sometimes you have to give your work a minute, take a step away because of the laser focus on the details, and look at it again. Then you see the "big picture" is pretty flipping nice!
Thank you so much!
Outstanding, no one, but you will know! Be very proud of yourself. Amazing job.
I actually fell in love with the flaw and kept this piece for us. Thanks so much for watching! 😊
As usual your work is amazing but I have to thank you for your bunny love and rescue. You’re a beautiful soul!
This looks amazing! I'm a total perfectionist too so I can understand how it would bother you after putting so much into it. Frankly, I don't think most people would even notice and would just love to have it in their home. Including me! It's gorgeous! You're the best!
The handles look fine! Great job on this dresser, as always! Thank you for the video. :-)
Once again you have saved an abandoned piece of furniture and have given it new life. I am new to your channel and so appreciate the exquisite attention to detail you show to each restoration. I never would have noticed the "mistake" and I certainly feel that it doesn't detract from the overall rescue of this dresser! Be kind to yourself, it wasn't your error and in truth it adds a depth of character to your piece.
I actually fell in love with the flaw and kept this piece for our living room. 🙂 Thank you so much for watching!
