I picked up this CRAZY painted chest of drawers from my local Habitat for Humanity ReStore. It was stinky and I initially walked away from it. Got into my car. Sat there. Went back in.
I'm so glad I went back for it, but uncovering the original finish and construction was definitely stressful, because I had NO idea what would be under that paint. Sometimes pieces are painted purely as a matter of taste/style at the time, but sometimes they are painted because they are damaged beyond restoration.
I ended up with a very unique almost ombre effect on the drawers, quite by accident but it looked so neat I decided to leave it and almost feature it! I'm thrilled with how this turned out, and every time I walk past it, I love it more and more.
I hope you enjoy this insane transformation!

For some reason, I get the warm fuzzies when I see you take a piece of furniture that was doubtless in a little girl's room -- and she LOVED it because it was purple or pink or something -- and turn it into something that the grown woman she became would also love. 🙂
I love that!
Well said!
i agree ❤
Brilliant comment!!
I wondered who was brave enough to tackle that piece and was somewhat surprised to find it gone. You did an amazing job. In my wildest dreams I never imagined such beauty was hiding under that. Wow, Angie, you did a magnificent job.
Ditto!
I couldn't agree more. Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
@@karenkouns577 : I looked at it because the size was perfect for the space I have but I knew it was way beyond my capabilities. I just refinish pieces to replace the our furniture that 37 rescue cats destroyed over the last 22 years. Angie does such a fantastic job and has such vision. I never tire of watching the videos from Transend Furniture Gallery.
So beautiful 👏👏👏👏
@@marycoffee7366 : Only Angie could take it from the before to the after.
I am not a fan of pink (anything) furniture but frankly I have to admire the artistry that was achieved on the painted piece. That said I much prefer your vision that restored it to a natural look. You created a lovely piece.
Agree.
I was going to say the same thing. I never cared for that spongey stipple, and especially not in pink! But they did a very good job of it at the time.
I agree! I prefer the natural wood but i never saw such a precise and artistic work with sponge painting
I concur!! I thought it was a vinyl sheet product at first, for a pink sponge texture it was VERY evenly done!!
Someone definitely put a lot of time and effort into the pink camo look at one time, absolutely. Now it has a new life. 😊 Thanks so much for watching!
I like that you give sound advice and that you always observe safety rules. And you like cats, that's a plus ! Good work.
Thank you very much! 😊
I think the before and after on this one is the most shocking in a long time! What a transformation!
Wow, thank you so much! I'm so glad you like it!
I don’t know what’s better. Nacho’s opposable thumbs or what you’ve done with this piece. You’re my heroine.❤
It's a tough call. hahaha Honestly. lol
What a stunningly handsome piece. Honestly, I would have walked right past this guy and not looked back. I’m glad you rescued it from the disaster it was. Your care for the integrity of your flips is so good, girl! Keep it up!
I don't think it was a disaster - it kept on serving a purpose and probably wouldn't have had it not been painted. Sponge painting was all the rage and it probably served the pink-lover well. Now it's off to a new life. :-)
those handles are kinda everything. painting them black makes them stand out in their uniqueness and upped the whole piece. truly beautiful work
Thank you very much!
That was an amazing transformation! The black on the wood handles really was a fantastic choice and using the different placing in the order of the drawers was genius! A true ugly duckling to swan. Totally!!!
She has good instincts with when to add paint. I agree that the painted handles pop really nicely.
Wow! Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you like how it turned out! 😊
You know what I love about your videos (aside from the amazement I feel at every one of your restorations!), it's that you do NOT show the final result in the preview, nor at any time before the final reveal. Keep doing that. I've always hated getting surprises ruined, even as a child at Christmas! :D
Thank you so much for watching!
I love the ombré effect on the drawers! This piece turned out beautiful 😻!! Nacho is super cute 🐾
Love the kitty! Where's the bunnies?
Angie you are the furniture whisperer! I think you gave this piece exactly what it needed. You even managed to make the mismatched veneer look intentional. Great work!
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
I appreciate how you make these little extra steps to show the audience details they wouldn't usually see - like the difference in the number of paint coats on the handles:)
Amazing transformation for that poor old piece! Sucha glow up;]
Thank you so much for watching!
Now there’s a radical change for the better! The black handles really set off the wood grain. Beautiful!
Thank you very much!
Wow absolutely beautiful. Your pieces always look so refined.
Gorgeous as always. All that scraping you must've found some new muscles. 😂
It was sooooo much work. My forearms where definitely sore. lol I could have used a stripper but didn’t feel like dealing with the mess.
Just a gorgeous and amazing transformation. You are quite the artist and visionary. I adore your channel.
Aww thank you so much!
I totally would’ve just kept walking after seeing that piece in its original state. What a phenomenal job! You are so very talented!
I almost did and then I went back. Thank you so much for watching and I'm glad you like how it turned out! 😊
I just caught the end. Amazing pink camo to beautiful wood transformation.
Who could have thought underneath that pink camaflodge was such a sublime chest of drawers!! Thank you for taking a chance and having the vision, intelligence, and skill --- all the hard work too --- to make the transformation a reality!!
I think it is one of your best!! ❤️ 💙 see Willow & Natcho 🐈 😻
Thank you so much for watching! 😺
Kitty break = essential ❤️
I so admire your talent and skill, Angie, even the inside of the drawer is stunning! The fact you care enough to finish the bottom of the piece even though it will not be seen, makes complete sense to me. You are the ultimate professional restorer/refinisher! Gorgeous save!! 💚
Wow, thank you so much!! Your kind words are much appreciated. ❤️
"Hear, hear!" I second the motion! She is the ultimate.
Also, your work and voice are so soothing that I use them to relax when I have spent too much time on the rest of YT. Thanks for sharing your work, yourself, and the animals with us!
I so enjoy watching Nacho up to his antics! Thanks for recording those moments for us. Oh, I definitely love your work also.😊
Lol - you're welcome! 😉
Probably my favorite transformation so far on this channel😄
It always blows my mind when you transform a piece from trash to treasure. It's hard to believe that is the same dresser. Amazing work!
Thank you so much for watching!
I love how you always seem to know exactly how to bring out the beauty hiding beneath an ugly exterior, and turn a piece back into an object to love again. 🙂
Awe, thank you for your kind words! 😊
WOW!! Lovely job of rescuing that icky dresser into a beautiful dresser with fabulous wood! WELL DONE!
Thank you very much!
He is the cutest!
He really is! Haha
Another great job Angie. You are by far my favorite furniture restorer on the internet. ❤️
Wow! Thank you so much! ❤️
Same! I still appreciate Angie‘s care and dedication to bringing back the beautiful furniture pieces! She’s a master of the craft.
Oh wow!!! The end result is just beautiful!!....I am completely hopeless when it comes to any kind of reno work - so it's a real pleasure watching a skilled professional/artist bringing a piece like this back to life!!
Thank you so much for watching!
Again Angie, you amaze me... Thanks again for showing us in much more detail about the sharpening of the carbide scraper, toners etc. You have no idea how helpful that is!!!
You're so welcome! Thank you so much for watching and I'm glad you found it helpful!
Stunning. It's hard to believe it's the same piece. That grain is beautiful. Love the idea of the black handles. It really set the piece off.
So hard to believe it's the same piece. I can understand the appeal of the pink mottled colour for someone who tried to love it. You've elevated it to new level.
Thank you so much for watching!
Who would have thought this new piece was hiding under all this paint! You really did this dresser justice!!
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
That’s probably be one of the most dramatic and satisfying transformations I’ve ever seen. It went from a train wreck to a beautiful MCM treasure.
I'm so glad you like it!! 😊
I don't personally like mid-century furniture but I have to say you've made an absolutely cracking job of this restoration. Well done. Also, I'm extremely impressed by the fact that you pay as much attention to the inside as the outside.
Thank you so much!
Wow what a transformation! Looks gorgeous! At first I wasn't sure about the painted handles but once I saw the finished piece it was definitely the right choice 💯❤
I wasn't at all un-sure about painting the handles. I've seen enough of Angie's work to trust her judgment implicitly. She has an almost uncanny ability to feel/sense a piece and know exactly what it needs, and the knowledge/ability/experience to make it happen. This proves my point - you don't ever need to worry about anything she does because she always manages to do whatever the piece really needs. Amazing!
WOW! I love this piece! I love how the wood tones do that ambre effect on drawer fronts. Great outcome
Great job as always!!
The black handles were the perfect compliment to the wood...love the ombre gradation on the drawers as well. Brilliant as always! Thank you for sharing the joy and the love.
Thank you!
I love the waterfall sides! Man, this piece is way less panic inducing!
I have been going back over your older videos. Came across the $100 challenge. This gave me a couple of extra channels that I am giving a chance, but made me realise just how good a job you do. I love that your tools are clean, and your workshop tidy. Love that you don't just do the outside of the piece, but work on the whole piece, paying attention also to the inside. Like the job you did here. You turned a meh piece into a masterpiece, making sure even the bottom was cleaned up and the drawers renovated. Excellent work.
There's no point of doing a job halfway! 😊 Thank you so much for watching and the kind words, muchly appreciated! 😊
Andrea's drawer placement made a huge difference! The piece is tons better than the pink! Nice job, Angie! 🥰
I think so too! she totally made the right call. Normally, those drawers with variations are on the top, but in this case, it just made sense to switch it up, and thankfully, these drawers aren't dedicated to certain slots, so I was able to move them around.
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery 😉
How on earth this is the after the horrible before is amazing. What a beautiful transformation.
So beautiful, as always. Your sweet, calm voice and fabulous artistry are a blessing to me on Sunday mornings.
Yaaaay!! It's a snowing Sunday afternoon, and what better way to spend it than watching Angie work her magic. Not to mention possible cameos by furry critters. 😁🥰 I'm all in!
Thank you Noralee!
What a truly gorgeous piece of furniture! I love painted handles. They create the perfect counterpoint to that wonderful walnut wood grain.
Thank you so much for watching!
Yay! Feels like forever since the last one. I just love my bi-weekly injection of furniture reno wholesomeness.
I love mid century. Beautiful transformation.
The ombre is stunning! Another masterful transformation from Angie AND bonus Nacho content…what a wonderful way to start a Sunday. I’ve never renovated anything, but I love your channel because you take what others see as trash and turn it into a beautiful piece of art and that resonates with me on a very deep level as a person who has needed a lot of TLC to get where I am today. Thank you for sharing your life and your work with us 💜
Hang in there, Adrienne, and pass on some TLC to someone else who needs it like you did. That will come back four fold.
[Ooo[[oo[oooooooooo[
You are so welcome! I'm glad I could start your Sunday off on the right foot. I think we all need TLC, whether we admit it or not. Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
Painting the handles charcoal black was such a lovely touch and the perfect choice to unify the somewhat mismatched drawers. Well done!
Thank you so much for watching!
WOW! A beautiful transformation!
You sure do have patience! This may be my favorite piece you've done. Stunning transformation!
Thank you very much!
You were very brave to take on this chest of drawers. Who knows what might have been under all that paint: stains, veneer chips and gouges. Beautiful transformation.
Thank you so much for watching!
What you've done with this piece is nothing short of a MIRACLE!!! It's GORGEOUS!! I LOVE IT!!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
You are amazing! My favorite furniture Channel. What you transformed this piece into is nothing less than gorgeous!
Thank you so much for your kind words! Much appreciated!
So glad you went back and got this piece it turned out amazing. P.s. thanks for the Nacho fix. The markings on his fur are so beautiful he is such a cutie thanks for sharing❣️
Thank you so much for watching!! I'll pass the message onto Nacho for you! 😺
Wow!!!! Every time you show the befores and afters I'm overwhelmed! You do such a wonderful job giving these pieces at least decades of new life. Soooooooo beautiful.
Thank you very much!
Wow, that is quite the transformation. As unattractive as the paint job was, I have to say they were pretty thorough. Lots of scraping for you. Great job and I'll check out your website.
Beautiful!! What a difference. When seeing the pieces you transform like this I always wonder what the previous owner would think......
Me too! Especially on something with this dramatic a change. Considering they painted it in the first place though, my guess is that they aren’t big fans of the brown wood. :-)
Thank you for fixing this piece. The sponge pink purple camo mess was horrifying. You made something beautiful!
Thank you very much for watching!
Absolutely amazing transformation. Love the contrast of the handles. What an eye you have for trash worth restoring. Beautiful outcome.
OMG gorgeous! You did a fantastic job as usual! Love it!
Truly lovely and unique! Now pushing 80 (old crone here), I used to refinish and paint furniture 20 - 25 years ago. I love to watch you -- you are a wonderful teacher, know your products, always learning and seem dedicated to the integrity of wood and craft. Doesn't get better than this! BRAVO! 💙
Thank you so much for watching, and I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos! I appreciate your kind words, I bet you have quite a few stories about furniture you could tell! 😊
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery Indeed, I do. Fond memories, as you will have . . .
That top veneer is gorgeous! Another great job.
Gorgeous...every inch. Your professional approach to each piece, and your respect for the quality of wood and original workmanship puts you head and shoulders above the rest.
Wow, I really appreciate that. Thank you so much!!
i see project manager Willow is supervising the process. so adorable!
She's awesome! Thank you so much for watching! 😺
Holy cow, now *that's* a transformation! I remember when sponge painting was the hot trend. I had a friend that did that crime to every part of her house. Walls, doors, trim, everything! 😬
Thanks for including all the sanding and scraping tool tips. Very helpful. Speaking of tools, it's about time for you to get a spray gun. Maybe Santa will bring you one, if you have been good. 😁
Hi John! Oddly enough- I do have one! I just don't use it that often. Most of what I work on has much a minimal amount of paint that it makes setting up the spray tent daunting enough to deter me from using the sprayer! Though, it would definitely be handy for spraying lacquers.
not to mention cheaper than the individual cans.
AMAZING!!!!!! This piece is incredibly beautiful. I so admire your vision and skills. Thank you for sharing, Angie!
As always Angie, you never cease to amaze me with your craftsmanship! Beautiful transformation!
From cheap and tacky to elegant, one more beautiful job, Angie 👍
Thank you! 😊
Really enjoy to hear your voice when you get excited, revealing the original wood under old finish.
I am loving the way you work and the way you treat furniture ❤️👏👏👏
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
Rearranging the drawers was genius! So glad you rescued this piece and put your stamp on it. You have inspired me to refinish some family pieces so they last another 50 years!
Yay! Glad to hear I inspired you! Best of luck with your pieces. Thank you so much for watching!
I love that you think about the future of furniture pieces you restore/work on. They're always stunning and there's no doubt this piece will live on for a very long time! Love this piece!
Thank you very much!
Angie, you did it again! Simply gorgeous!
Thank you very much!
oh yeah, that's what i'm talkin' 'bout! ☺it looks beautiful, and the drawers look totally cool that way. nacho is so cute playing with the leaves. 😸🐈
Thank you! 🤗He is pretty cute, isn't he? 😺
I love this piece! Your work, as always, is impeccable! Random comment : I love your voice.....beautiful and relaxing.
Thank you so much for watching!
Wow the ombre effect is awesome. You really made the wood pop!
Thank you so much for watching!
I absolutely love seeing you breathe new life into these pieces. Old furniture is the BEST furniture.
I agree completely! Thank you so much for watching!
Only a true visionary would have enough courage to restore this piece. Absolutely amazing transformation!
Awe, thank you!! ❤️
Whenever I see a painted piece out and about I crave doing what you did to this one. Also I went away for a bit and it’s nice to see how you’ve changed and progressed in your process! Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you so much for watching!
Wow! 😍This looks absolutely amazing. The pink was kinda funky, in its own way, but your restoration of the wood and the black makes it a quality, high-end piece. And I loved the clips of Nacho...is that cat getting cuter every day or what???😻
Now an adult can utilize this beautiful piece! Great job!
Thank you so much for watching!
I love different colors in the walnut wood grain and I think that the black helped enhance that! ❤❤❤Thank you for the Willow and Nacho content! 😊
Willow and Nacho are both glad to make more fans! Thanks so much for watching! 😺
Angie, You are so talented! This transformation is outstanding. I love your comments that explain why you made the choices you did. It’s wonderful that you can save some gorgeous furniture that otherwise might have ended up in a landfill.
Thank you so much!
Gorgeous! You give so much respect and love to the wood. I also feel it’s an homage to the craftsman who built your pieces. Well done Angela❤
Thank you very much!
I can't believe someone painted that beautiful piece. Nice restoration.
Thank you very much! 😊
From Barbie pink to very chic, well done another piece beautifully restored
Thank you so much!
As usual exquisite! However, I would have loved to watch a longer video using all the products and applications for this transformation. ❤👏
I was also hoping it would be a little bit longer- it can be hard sometimes to hold attention when it's a lot of the same thing (for example, it was a day and a half just of scraping).
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery I don't mind how long it takes. You really know how to explain the process!
Omg! You really put the definition of “Love & Labor” to your work! ❤
Thank you!
From cheesy to classy - you are amazing! What talent!
Awe, thank you!
That was a great decision! The black handles and the ombré effect of the drawers really make them pop! Beautiful resurrection of this piece.
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
As always gorgeous result!
I don’t know if you ever get tired of being told how ah-mazing your work is, but, man, YOU ARE AH-MAZING! Incredible. There wasn’t a spot of pink left anywhere on that stunning dresser! Wow! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much Barb! ❤️
The pink paint work was actually good, they did a good job. The finished dresser back to the wood finish looks great.
Thanks so much for watching!
Beautiful. Professional. Consistent Excellent quality work. As always Angie, well done.
Yay - she's back with another stunning transformation! This one took my breath away - you are such a class act and I would buy this dresser if I didn't live 2000 miles away, lol.
Thank you so much for watching!
Another gorgeous transformation! Painting the handles black was the right call; it looks really good and somehow a little more modern while retaining the MCM vibe. Thanks for the Nacho break; he blends right in with the leaves and looks like he was having a great time on the deck.
Yeah, The black just adds that little bit of extra contrast which helps keep it from being monotonous .
What a handsome piece. The wood grain on the top is beautiful.
Putting the dark on the bottom was a great choice. And once again a beautiful piece. Amazing job. Takes a artist to make it look this amazing
Thank you so much for watching!
