From Trash to Treasure: The Ultimate Roadside Dresser Makeover
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- This dark and dingy tossed dresser is about to go even darker. I'm using Minwax's Semi Transparent water based stain in True Black to take this discarded piece to a whole other level. There were some ups and downs, but overall, I LOVE how this refinished piece turned out. What's that saying? One man's trash is another man's treasure? Indeed.

Not sure how any one else feels but watching these videos is so relaxing and grounding for me. I think it's because of Angie's attention to details and the almost spa like background music.
This was a bold choice for this piece. Idk that I could've been so brave. Well done and someone will be getting a ome of a kind piece as are all of Angie's wonderful transitions.
Awe, thank you! I'm really happy to hear that!
Her videos make me want to go driving around to see if I can find something good to fix up! 😊
It makes me have delusions that I can do this! LOL I LOVE these types of videos and how each creator completes a project!
Her videos are well edited and paced too
Me too. And no clean up. No unfinished projects to haunt you until you throw it out. Of course I don't own the thing either but.....
What draws me to your videos is your willingness to share your thought processes and your experimentation while restoring a piece. I have unsubscribed from so many who just preach at me. You instead show me what choices you consider and how you reach a final choice. I really find this piece very attractive. I have no doubt you can get a high money return on this piece. Extremely well done Angie!!
Thank you so much Vicki!
You have very elegant taste!
Thank you very much!
I feel so calm watching these type of videos. ❤
I'm so glad! Thank you very much! 🙂
I love the stain color and those little gold/brass knobs are a great finishing touch.
I'm really happy you like the Dottie! Thanks for watching!
Love seeing the transformation these pieces go through. Excellent work.
Thank you so much!
Loved you sharing your thought process! Wish I'd known what I know now several decades ago when I was refinishing lots of furniture. Most of it was to supply a need when we were first married and very poor. Awesome job, Angie!
Thank you so much for watching Deanna!
Beautiful! Love, love, love the color.
Thank you so much! 😊
Very nice result! I looked to try and see the dowel plugs … but couldn’t! Great choices!
Thank you so much! 😃
Another great job! Really pretty like tux. See ya next time around. ❤❤
Thanks for watching Nancy!
came out great. Cat was making me laugh. I am a foster and have 8 cats in my house presently.
That's awesome!
What a beautiful piece!
Thank you so much for watching! 😀
Beautiful Angie
Thank you!
everything you do is beautiful
Thank you very much! 🙂
gorgeous!!
Thank you!
Love your work. Learn a lot I’m from you already. Just come across your videos today. Can i use Howard feed and wax over chalked paint. Thank you
And I also love your orange kitten 😊
I don't use chalk paint so I can't speak to that. You best bet is to reach out to the company who made your paint and ask them. Thanks for watching!
What's the name of the calculator app you used?
Construction Calculator. The developer is xNeat.com
Angie, you can feel really good about taking the extra time for the details, like finishing the back panel, as you do. What might seem obsessive in one context is a distinguishing attention to detail here, which is part of what sets you apart from the rest of the flippers and refinishers. Congrats on another beautiful rescue! Between rescuing bunnies and vintage furniture, you are making a nice dent in changing the world.
Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate the support. 😊
I love the long videos and your detailed explanations. No need Angie to apologize for the length of the video.
This turned out beautifully! I love it!!!
I love how you like to involve your audience with your thought processes on how to approach each piece. I would've been reluctant to test a stain on any part of the actual furniture, but your logic and knowing the final outcome you wanted made perfect sense, and when those of us are still learning how to approach our own pieces of furniture we want to restore, it's a relief to get those more detailed explanations of how and why.
Nacho is the cutest!! I love his inquisitive face.
I love your work Angie!!!
Thank you so very much Naomi!
Nacho's little paw with the ball under the door was adorable! I really like the brass hardware with the black stain, Angie! 💚
Thanks so much Sharon! 😺
I told my daughter that this was a "giggle break."
Thanks so much for the Nacho moments. He makes me so happy
Who doesn't love a Nacho break
@@lovealwaysmomThat’s awesome!
If you're going to make Nacho work so hard, he should get a nice raise. Supervision doesn't come cheep. 😊❤️😸
😆So he tells me! Thanks so much for watching Gretchen!
The brass hardware with the cool black stain is giving "little black dress" vibes. Absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you very much!
Perfect description of the vibe!
Yes they go well together. I, however, don’t like dark stains at all. I much prefer an oak-colored stain.
Pearls. Every little black dress (or pantsuit) needs a strand of pearls. (I love your analogy - because you are so right about those pulls turning the mundane into the classy.)
Little black dress-er vibes! 😂
The new casters and the glass shelf on the drinks cabinet elevate it to an eye-catching vintage piece.
Lovely that you’re donating it to the fundraiser for the bunnies rescue.
Thanks for watching!
I love how the wood grain still manages to show through the dark stain. Another beautiful restoration! And as always, I appreciate the Nacho cameos! P.S. I couldn't see the drawer dowels on the finished piece -- great job!
Thank you very much!
I will admit that when you were using different options on the legs I wasn’t feeling the black. But, when you started staining the body and drawers I was definitely with you. It’s so nice to see another sad piece saved and given new life. Great job, Angie! Tell Nacho his supervision was top notch!
Thanks for sticking with me Dianna to see where I was going with it!
Don’t apologize for the length! I love it!!! ❤ Great work as always. I really like this dresser’s shape. Water-based stain is intimidating to me but you made it work, unsurprisingly!
Thank you so much for watching and the great comment. I really appreciate that!
Love how you measure twice and sometimes three times before drilling the holes for the new handles. That's real care in your craft. In the past, I viewed mid-century pieces as throw-away cheap things not worth the trouble to save. But your attention to your craft, and your vision, have shown me a new way of seeing what they really were and what they can still be. The ability to educate in that way takes you from craftsperson to artisan. I believe that life-long learning is the key to a rich existence; and I am grateful to all my teachers. You are very appreciated.
As are you! Your comments are always so well thought out and supportive. You've a way with words my friend! Thank you, as always, for watching! I look forward to your comments every time.
That is outstanding, Angie! It looks very elegant. I’m quite sure that piece didn’t look half that good, even when new!
Thank you Marcia!
Not only am I consistently impressed by the artistry in your finished pieces, but also with the polish of your videos. Such an excellent job on both fronts!
Thanks so much!
I TELL YOU! SHE DOES SUCH AN EXCELLENT JOB OF SHOWING THE PROCESS OF WHAT GREAT CRAFTMANSHIP IS AND HOW IT SUPPOSED TO BE. THAT IS THE MAGIC OF MAKING AND CARING FOR THE THINGS YOU CREATE! CUSTOMERS NOTICE THAT! AND THAT IS ANOTHER GREAT WAY OF KEEPING YOUR CUSTOMERS AND MAKING NEW ONES! YOU GO GURL! WORK THAT THANG!
The drawer pulls are gorgeous with the routed shapes on the drawers and the black stain. Amazing work as always. The black is interesting and I'd love to see it in person. I 100% come back to watch your channel because you push yourself to try new things, not just the same look every time. Thank you for your great videos and explanations and kitty and bunny...
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Not only a beautiful makeover, but also a very nice video to watch ! Seeing you struggle to find the right choices to make for this piece, but also to see how the end result in a great makeover ! Combine that with the very relaxing background music and your friendly voice over, are making you makeover videos so nice to watch ! See you on the next one !!!!
Thanks so much for watching Albert!
The end result is definitely the look of a high end piece of furniture. As always, your work is meticulously and beautifully done. Always appreciate you "defending" these composite pieces, because so many people are dismissive of them and they tend to look so dated and unattractive in their original finish. They're not solid wood but as you pointed out, they often fare better over time than all wood pieces. And you make them all look beautiful. Well done!
Thank you so much for this and for understanding it so well. You are a breathe of fresh air.
Hi Angie!! How wonderful was this furniture!! And this cutest kitten giving the air of grace in the video!! Good vibes and Namaste!!
Thanks so much for watching Luiza!
I love watching you take furniture from plain and boring to beautiful show pieces ...have you ever thought of signing the inside of your work so people in the future can see who did the work and can see what a amazing artist you are❤
Yes, I have seen other flippers who have had branding irons made with their company logo. That would be a good finishing touch.
A lot of people have suggested that and it's something I'm considering for the future. Thank you so much for watching!
Ange, you have a knack for editing. You show all the steps, fast forward in the right spots, and a bonus cute cat visit. I love it.
Thank you so much Rena! I'm really glad you enjoy my content.
Must be just as much work setting up the cammera as it is doing the work. I won't tell anyone if you say a bad work when you bang your thumb.
If that dresser had feelings, it would be smiling right now! Awesome job!!
Thank you kindly Josh!
Angie you work hard and those efforts are recognized in the finishes. Cheer!❤
Thank you kindly!
I love the color. You did an amazing job.
Thank you so much!
Old drawers always look so clean and refreshed after sanding. Such a simple step with such a big payoff. It's always very satisfying.
Yes it is! 😁
The music is very pleasant and Angie's voice isn't obtrusive or annoying. Very relaxing for me to watch.
I greatly admire the way you can take a rather overly used piece of furniture and make it very attractive
Thank you so much!
You are at the top of the food chain with your inspiring videos! You prove the old saying.....Anything worth doing, is worth doing right!! Another fantastic transformation just fabulous 😍
Thank you so much!
She is stunning! I understand why you second guess yourself but I never question your designs. No matter what you pick i'm just like, yep! That's the perfect choice. 😊 Another incredible transformation!
Thank you so much!
I first said, no keep the original hardware but in the end, those knobs were spot on! Thanks for going through the process of testing stains on the legs first... I hope it saves me on a project. It was wonderful to hear you explain how you take your projects to the highest level with strict attention to every detail on every nook + cranny, especially on some where that may not be seen. Bravo. Nacho, good on you for enforcing break time.
Thanks so much Valerie!
Utterly Gobsmacked! The Black stain was the way to go!
Thank you kindly!
Congratulations on your youtube award, you worked a lot for it and deserve it. The viewer's are very happy and excited for you because of the likes and subscription to your channel. I love to see your restoration of furniture because these pieces are hard to find and you save them from the landfills, so a great thumbs-up to you Angie.
Thank you so much Mary, I really appreciate that!
Not generally a fan of dark, but your choice of using it for this cabinet was inspired. It looked so unique and unusual. Great job. Loved the new knobs. 👏
Thank you so much for watching!
Beautiful! Your work is incredible!
Thank you so much!
That brass hardware with the grooves is just... *chefs kiss*! I had doubts, but once I could see the lines on the drawers, I just KNEW you picked perfectly like you always do!
Thank you so much for trusting me and sticking with me until the end!
This came out so pretty and elegant!! The new knobs are such an improvement, and the stain is just right!!❤
Thank you!
Whether the finished piece is something I love or don't love, I always enjoy your process, troubleshooting, and pivots when things aren't going as you'd planned! Love these longer videos! Important Nacho question.... How many total claws does he have? Each of our cats have 18 (ten in front, 8 in back) but it looks like Nacho has so many more!
Nacho does indeed have many more. 😺 He has 23 toes in total - front left foot has 6, front right foot has 7 and his back feet each have 5. So extras all around! Thanks so much for watching!
I’m so glad you tried the black! It looks amazing! Art is all about taking risks, and I love how you explain your creative process.
Thank you very much!
The new hardware really makes the piece. Such a great recovery!
Many thanks!
Your thought process works so well ... the end result is proof of that. Such a nice transformation from its dowdy outdated appearance and yes the brass and black finish looks classy.
Thank you so much for watching!
You are truly keeping history alive with your restorations, and you do perfectly stunning work. Thanks for bringing us into your world.
My pleasure! I'm so glad you're enjoying my content!
I have just finished showing my husband 6 of your vids in quick succession. We are in awe. You are obviously such a hard worker and have patience for 20 people. I gather you must love what you do. Will keep watching
Please do! I'm so glad you're enjoying my content. ❤️
The result is incredibly classy.
Thank you so much for watching Jan!
The longer the videos, the better. I could watch these all day!!
Glad you like them!
oh I can't wait!
I can't wait for you to see it Connie!
You made me do it! Yep, after watching the detail you put into your pieces, I’m now lightly sanding and using Howard’s inside drawers. It’s one more step, but the feeling of a job well done is very rewarding! Thanks again for being you!
You're so welcome Cindi! Thank you for always watching and leaving great comments! You are appreciated.
It turned out so Great! Stunning 😍
Thank you!
Excellent transformation! And perfect choice of hardware.
Question, though: What about the drywall screws on the front of the cabinet frame? I assume they were keeping the drawers from going too far back, but I've never seen screws used like that before.
That is exactly what they are for (and are from the manufacturer) but they are wood screws, not drywall ones :-)
What an ellegant finał result! Well done!
Thank you kindly!
WOW. Some of your best work! Must be all of Nacho’s supervising.
Must be - he's very on top of things the past few weeks. 😉😺
18:05 I know we metric people keep harping on about the metric system but that just there makes me so glad we have it here. 😂 I’d be so lost with inches.
Thank you so much for watching!
12:27 You know, it might be interesting to do the legs in two tones, as shown when you just sanded the flat parts.
Thanks for watching!
Nacho -- what a great name for an orange tabby. Love cats to bits and especially their "nosey" nature. They have to know everything you do or they are not happy!.
I'm lucky I found your channel. I've been "refurbishing" old discarded pieces since my teen years but your level of knowledge is every impressive and it shows in your work. Even though I won't be doing any restoring in the future, I especially sat up and took notice of your ingenious methods. Thank you for sharing.
You're so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
wow what a difference. The dresser looks beautiful. That's what I like about you, you take that extra step to make your pieces look like new. Thanks for the video🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
You're so welcome Connie! Thanks for watching!
Lovely details in the wood that only black can show off. A magnificent makeover!
Thank you so much for watching! 🙂
Another stunning transformation!
Oh, and Nacho is so adorable… a cat with a job!
Thanks so much for watching!
The transformation is outstanding! Designers say every room needs at least one black item to ground the room. This would be that piece. It's the LBD (little black dresser) for every bedroom. Such great old world meets art deco design. I appreciate when you share the process. Sometimes you have to go through a lot of stain to get the right one. Well done, You!
Thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate your support!
I'm new to your channel, and wanted to share that I truly enjoy watching your video's,. It's an amazing outcome every time, WOW! Though some pieces may be challenging, you have such grace on how you handle and treat each piece of furniture. At least it's what resonates as you explain what you're doing. Love you knowledge!
Thank you so much!
Wow ❤❤❤❤ I really cannot tell you how much I enjoy your videos. My only regret is that my late husband passed away seven years ago. He would have been watching your videos nonstop over and over again for your detail for your diligence and your skill. With love from Maryland.💙💙💙💙
Thank you so much Pamela! I really appreciate your thoughtful and kind comment.❤️
Apart from me being very jealous of your workshop and skill, you also have great taste in music, because that soundtrack is exquisite!
Thank you very much! I really appreciate that.
**Shiver** I can practically feel the smooth surface of the lacquered finish, sense the delightful coolness of the brass pulls, and smell the citrusy perfume of the drawers.
Thank you so much Gina!! 😊
Watching as you refresh the inside of the drawers, sanding and then applying good smelling stuff, is my favorite part. I have no idea why. Just super satisfying.
I'm so glad you enjoy it Diana! Thanks so much for watching!
Gorgeous. Your diligence paid off. It looks like it belongs n the living room of the Dick Van Dyke show.
Thank you very much!
Wow, beautiful! You are an artist!! I have an old buffet I want to redo I've had it about 30 years. What's the best way to refinish it?
Unfortunately there is no way for me to answer that. Your best bet is to research your piece and go from there.
Absolutely love your work, your channel and that you pay attention to details like painting the back when it looks rough. I always look forward to your new videos ❤
I'm so glad Sandra! Thank you for always watching!
When drilling your holes into veneer you could try setting your drill into reverse first and drilling backwards to form an initial countersink before drilling forward as normal. Backwards doesn't chew the veneer.
Thanks for watching!
donating that piece is such a nice thing to do. Anyone who loves animals is all right in my book!!!
Thanks for watching!
You took something that looked cheap and turned it into elegant! Very classy piece.
Thank you very much! 😊
It almost has kind of a "sunglo" effect like 60s guitars. Love your work.
Thanks so much for watching Jay!
Love how the new handles go perfectly with the legs.
It’s funny how the brass pulls make it something completely different and modern. Yes, the resurrection transformed it but if you put the old pulls back on, it would have dated the piece and made it scream, hand me down. This is a new piece! Love it!
Thank you so much!
What the holy heck-fire witchery talent do you possess?! I am always stunned at the final result!
Now THAT comment is a mouthful because I had to say it out loud as soon as I read it! Thanks so much for watching!! 😊😊
One of my favorite pieces you have done ! I love you chose to go dark , it looks very high end like you said. Very rich color 😊
Thanks Bobby!
Uou are so talented..love the black but yet can see the woods natural beauty as well..very cool!
Thank you kindly! 😀
I think the new casters on the liquor cabinet are MUCH nicer. And the shelf is awesome.
Thank you!
I wish I could see the faces of the people that got rid of it if they were to see it now. Also, I learn something from your experience every single time.
I'm so glad I can help you learn! Thanks so much for watching!
Fabulous, as always!! I love the way you explain everything so clearly.
I'm really glad you enjoy my content! Thanks so much for watching!
Wow your talents, skills and choices are amazing. It looks gorgeous ❤
Thank you kindly!
Great insght into your assessment and decision making....and a superb result 😂
Thanks for watching!
Another excellent Restore. BRAVA!! (And good to see Nacho again.)
Thank you very much!
OMG sooo cute! THAT made my day🥰
Also how many tootsies do they have?
Nacho has 23 toes!
Angie, you are such a nice person, kind and thoughtful. I just want to say, please don’t ever let the darker side of TH-cam, those people that make the nastier, spiteful comments and live in TH-cam’s dark heart, get to you to change that or bring you down! I think those people thrive from the nastiness they spread, and it’s hateful. So please, if that stuff starts eating at you, turn the comments off & never look at them again, know that you and your work is massively appreciated and admired, and undoubtedly always will be, and those dark hearted fuckers can keep their nastiness to themselves! In my experience, the people that spread light, like yourself, seem to attract the dark ones. Maybe in their twisted minds they think that bringing someone else low, lifts them up. It doesn’t! They just haven’t learnt yet that hurting others doesn’t cure whatever’s been inflicted on them.
Don’t quite know where all that came from. I just felt the need to say it, ‘cos you’re such a genuinely nice person and in this world, where we can be anything at all, we should all try to be kinder & nicer.
You are so right. It seems like Angie feels she has to over explain herself & what & why she's doing what she's doing because of some of the nasty comments. Like she's trying too hard to pre-empt those comments.
Angie honey do whatever you want with your furniture pieces & if those nasty people don't like what you do with your furniture pieces, it's okay to tell them, when THEY get their own pieces, THEY can do whatever they want with them. But
Haters and dumb comments really don’t upset me at all on a personal level. That’s what I was trying to say in this video. What upsets me is that so many people feel the need, the urge, to behave like school children. Actually, I take that back- I was a school child and never bullied anyone. Lol
I just find it sad that society has become so vile and cruel to complete strangers. But their actual words to ME roll off because 99% of the time, they are either entirely incorrect about something, or absolutely ridiculous.
Fabulous job, I am a huge admirer of your work. Well done!
Thank you very much!
Why is cleaning the surfaces (aside from dust, sticky residue or whatever) so important if you are going to strip it etc.? Does the smell bother you perhaps? It seems to me anything that any odor would be entirely eliminated with the stripper, the stain or paint and the clear coat. What stink can survive that?
I don’t normally clean if I’m going to strip them, but where this was picked up on the side of the road, I wanted to clean the whole thing immediately upon it coming into my work room. You just never know. Sometimes things are kicked to the curb for a reason, so wanted to make sure it was “good” before assessing what I wanted to do with it.
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery Love the vids! Its nice to see how someone who knows what she doing does things. I have only had one project turn out to be something I was proud of and my father's dog ruined it trying to steal cat food while I had it stored in his basement.
This is one of the best transformations of a roadside find on youtube!
Thanks so much for watching! 😊
Just my preference, i would have like two brass pulls on each drawer. Looks great though as is. Nice work.
The piece turned out beautifully. Love that you take the time to clean everything and make every part of the piece look good as new.
Thank you very much!
