Well, this little chest of drawers gave me ALLLLL the trouble, and even though I wasn't blown away with the results, I AM happy enough with it to be able to proudly sell it and I just know SOMEONE out there is going to love the colour. I just know now that this colour just isn't my thing. hahaha
I had a lot of repairs to make on this little dumpster rescue, and while it would have been nice to be able to just clean the piece up, the finish was beyond too far gone. Before you get mad at me for painting it...
It's not real quarter sawn oak, it's a faux finish over mediocre pine, so I didn't feel all that guilty for painting it. Especially if it helps make this piece usable and desirable for someone and save it from the landfill! BUT.... it would have been nice had I just been able to clean it up without having to remove the faux finish. sigh
In regards to the prints that will be for sale soon, as soon as my website is finished, I'll be sure to share it with you all. ❤️

Okay Angie, here's the problem: I find your videos informative, inspiring, and motivational. BUT..... I also find them addictive and I always convince myself I have time for "just one more". Whoops, there goes the day! Thank you for being you, and bringing us all along on your journey!
I agree completely. I like that she is on point all the time. She gets right to the task at hand, with lots of detail. Some instructors start by talking and talking about nothing to do with the project. Now I like the bunnies and demos of products used. Angie you ROCK.
I know what you mean. In my imagination I think I will do one of these sometime. But knowing me; not going to happen. My expertise is design and sewing. I'll stick to that.
Lol, when I found her channel I binge watched everything.. was so please a new one popped up.. now I’m binging another furniture flipping channel.. and it’s pretty good.. I’m just new at this.. but I have one of these dressers sitting in my shop and at least now I won’t be shocked if the “wood grain” comes off with the stripper 😂😂
I agree that Angie’s channel is quite addictive. Not all addictions are bad!
I second that. I love your personality, knowledge, skill and the amount of instruction/explanation you give with the videos. The videos are very calming and satisfying even if I never refinish a piece of furniture 😂
We can't save/preserve everything. No one robbed a museum, you literally saved this from the landfill! Beautiful work as always. ❤
The Blue Pine worked really well for this piece. I'm glad you chose to "show and tell" all the problems; it is a true reflection of how hard it is to work on these pieces. Beautiful results once again.
You might not like the color, but I think it’s breathtaking. I understand not every piece is for everyone, but I think the warmth of the top and the coolness of the bottom with those antique style pulls all blend into a beautiful piece of art. Well done!
Ditto! It's hard to stick with a colour that doesn't resonate with you but I think you made the right choice. 💙
The things I like most about the pieces you do is that they have such a solid, clean look to them when you are finished. Dang girl, you are amazing.
I LOVE the finished product! I know you said you don't like the color, but it is a perfect colonial style color scheme. Beautiful job!! The joinery you replicated is fantastic (um, the talent you have is impressive) AND the super shine on top of the dresser is beautiful!! Well Done! ✅👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I was thinking the exact same thing. Can picture this sitting in a home in Vally Forge, PA!
@@ephphathaoracle Yes!! In one of the colonial home tours 😁
Was about to make the same comment about the blue being "colonial".
Growing up near Philly, many MANY moons ago... I saw that color quite often on old painted colonial pieces.
Knapp joinery was primarily used 1870-1900. I found an ugly neon green wash stand in a small antique store with this joinery. Under layers and layers of paint was a lovely washstand/soon to be my bathroom vanity. Your piece came out lovely! You honor the age of the piece with your talents. Not museum quality you say, but the kind of piece my ancestors would have had. The glazing made it perfect. Wonderful job!
I love Knapp joints - my fav piece from my grandmother has them - and it was machine-made too, I think a lot of people don't know that.
it may not have been a high-end piece, but you sure made it look like one! Good on you, Angie, you never fail to come through. You are such a talented artist!
Thank you so much!
I had never heard of, or seen, the peg/scallop joinery before. How very unique, and yet I can't begin to imagine how difficult it must have been to create prior to modern power tools. You gave this piece a major facelift and a chance at another life. Well done!! 👏👏👏
That joinery was created with circa-late-1800s power tools that were built specifically for the purpose of making it -- and it was specifically designed to be easy to do with power tools, unlike dovetails that weren't doable with power tools until we got to the era of modern routers. The "peg" side was made with a rotary plug cutter (or a set of them), and the scallops were made with a special shaping cutter. It was as simple as putting the wood into the machine and pulling a few levers.
It's kind of rare, because only a large furniture shop would have bought the machine to do it, and once it became possible to do dovetails efficiently with power tools, it fell out of fashion.
@@BrooksMoses Thanks for the history.
The piece looks beautiful, and I'm really glad you chose not to repaint it, even if it wasn't your personal favorite. Despite all the work that went into it, I'm really glad you were able to save this old piece from the dumpster. It still has historical value, so great job once again!
I just love your work! I will retire from 30 years of teaching soon and while I don’t plan to make money through restoration, I am so excited to learn about refinishing furniture. Currently, I am collecting pieces and learning something new everyday. Thank you for sharing your creativity with the world. You are an artist!!!
Wow!! Thank you so much! I'm excited for you! I'm so glad you're finding my content helpful on your journey. Best of luck going forward with your projects. 😊
And, once again, I am just blown away by your knowledge, persistence, patience, Love, exactitude... and how you balance ALL of everything you do to come up with a video that is so perfectly made/filmed/edited/put together ... I am NEVER bored for a second and I am always so excited to see the end result... while enjoying the journey and all the details you provide! Angie... AMAZING GRACE!! What a beautiful end product! Thank you so much for all of your wonderful videos (and all of the bits you throw in ... the bunnies, Nacho, Andrea, bark and colours made from it... so much fun!).
Wow, thank you so much!! I'm so glad you enjoy my content!! 😺🐰
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery I do! I do! I think it's all just perfectly balanced and wonderful!
@@andreaandrea6716😅
Another amazing transformation. Something I tell people all the time who have old furniture they want to sell: just because something is old does not mean it was ever in good taste or worthy of preservation as an antique. Your updating gives new life to pieces that would otherwise be best used as firewood!
So, so beautiful!!! This piece is definitely my style. I loved everything about it!
Angie, it's another home run!
I love the color you chose for this, it looks very nice with the top, it might not be your favorite color but someone else is going to fall in love with it!
You really brought this piece back to life! I do not think you waisted your time at all. There will be someone that will love this piece. This really shows the skills you possess. Great work!👍
I have that same piece in my spare room. It was a pain in the backside just like yours. I took the stain and varnish route, and it took forever to get the wood prepped. But worth it in the end. The key for that is a tricky one. I did eventually find one. Your paint and stain combo is also a good look. Well done !
Thank you for taking the time to work on this piece. I know that your patience was being tested, but as an artist, I know that leaving a piece unfinished is not a good look. You did very well with this piece, and I commend you. I am always excited to see your work on a piece of furniture you bring it back to life. That brings me joy. Peace and Blessings to you.
Ohmygoodness Angie, this turned out beautiful! I realize that it was a lot of work but I’m convinced you taught us how patience and the right attitude pays off in the end! You have mad skills and I love watching you use them. You did an amazing job on this piece.
Thank you so much for watching!
Love your work 🤘🏻😎✌🏻
Wow, first time I’ve heard of pulls w/ lead. Thanks. Love your work.💙
I'm guessing it was the paint on them? Idk
I’ve watched dozens of other furniture rehabber videos and the reason I like yours best is your classic sensibilities and willingness to go the extra mile even when it’s difficult. I wish I had your perceptiveness and I feel inspired to do better in my own art by watching you.
Yay! Thank you!
Why would we get mad? Everything you do, saves and improves something destined for the scrap heap….. you are an eco warrior!
Haha most (and I mean, like 99%) of my community is amazing but there are still some folks who would shake a fist for even DARING to paint an antique (regardless of its condition), lol. I try to be extremely selective though, and some pieces just plain look better with paint. Lol ❤️
Because a lot of people get mad when wood, even if ugly, is painted.
I love the color but I love blue so it’s a nobrainer for me! Your repairs are phenomenal. You are so hard on yourself. I guess that’s why your results are so good.
Wow! This is amazing, Angie! This chest of drawers has dignity and grace. You honored its heritage and history and created a beautiful and functional piece of furniture. You are truly an artist!🌸
WOW, It's now a beautiful piece.
wow, this chest turned out beautiful. You also did an amazing job with the woodworking. You said it took you long etc. but while it took you long, you learned more. The next time it goes even faster. I am totally in love with your watercolor pictures, they are real pieces of art. Keep up the good work!
@Connie, great point. Yes, the piece took a long time, but part of that was continuing education that will pay off down the road. I liked the blue, even if Angie didn't.
I'll be in line for some prints!
Wow! Well worth the hard work! Beautiful!!
You should be very proud of this piece. You figured out every problem :) Many would have given up but you didnt. It is not in you to give up :) You turned her rags into beauty. Thank you, i enjoyed it :) loved how you showed all the products too.
For those of us who are watching you and learning, I think this was an important piece. I had no idea that this was painted and I wonder how many pieces I've looked at convinced that it was oak. Please don't shy away from the ones that are hard or unsatisfying. They're probably teaching tools. Thanks
I never shy away from a challenge, most of my pieces are in various ways. Thanks for watching!
L
It’s still beautiful !
It really turned out beautiful. Those handles you bought look like they were made for the piece. This is one of those pieces you do for the love of it. The love of the process, the love of doing something you truly enjoy, the love of the peace it brings. You have real talent and it's encouraging to see how you don't give up on a piece that seems unsalable. You're talents are really growing, keep up the good work! 👍👍
Thanks so much for watching!
Hi, Angie - the piece is precious. I’m sooo glad that you rescued a 200 year old piece. Incredible work!!
Yet, another furniture miracle. This piece is screaming “thank you”! And we do, as well. Your patience, determination, and love are intertwined with every minute devoted to your unrelenting skills. Bravo, Angela!
Thank you so much Marilyn!
Hello, I really like the blue pine. It’s a lovely colour.
I love the color of these drawers! But maybe because I really love blue. 😊 I think the dark rich brown goes well with the cool grayish blue. And I don’t even mind the brass hardware. 😁 Way to persevere and make a lovely piece. 👍
You did AWESOME!!! Be proud of yourself, you conquered it!! 👍💞
Hi from Scotland
THIS CHEST OF DRAWERS IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!
WOW!!! I LOVE THE COLORS AND STAIN YOU USED!!!
I AM SO IMPRESSED WITH YOUR ABILITY TO MAKE THE BEAUTIFUL JOINERY FOR THE DRAWERS!!!💖💖💖💖💖
Thank you so much for watching and your kind words! 😊
I love your finished projects!
Glad you kept the blue pine; it's refreshing to see blue occasionally. It's also nice to see that a "seasoned" refinisher/woodworker is still learning. Beautiful!
Thanks for watching!
Although this color isn’t your first choice, you used resources you already had in stock and created a combination that, in my opinion, really works. The joinery on the drawer is incredible-kudos to persisting when you had to do it twice! 😮
It was frustrating, but went faster the second time around so I learned something! :-)
Everything old can be young and fresh again, if we see it, as you do. Katcha is amazing, because she sees the glam; you see the heart. You both get it!!!
Thank you very much!
You did a lot of superb work on this piece! Honestly you are tooooo talented 🙂 As for the color, it is a color many people are going to luv luv luv. You really cannot go wrong with most shades of blue - such a desirable and popular color. Bravo!
Ermagerd, I LOVE this piece...it is calling my name!! Thankful (and at the same time sad) I live in Ontario or I would be in your driveway with a trailer after every video!
Me encantan tus trabajos de restauración 👍👏
I rather like that almost cornflower blue color. It will be perfect for someone for sure. Always inspired by your diligence.
Hi Angie, your channel found me a few weeks ago…I love what you are doing! Your tenacity, patience, and vision are just a few of your awesome qualities.
Many many moons ago I used to find pieces which had seen better days… and, give them new life. It was very time consuming yet very rewarding🌟
My projects were for personal/ family used… I so wish there had been an opportunity to get help from someone like you. I learnt by my mistakes, but I persisted. The fun thing was, I had 2 boys who were curious to learn. So I set them up with a scroll saw and poplar plywood or pine. They would choose outlines and work on small projects. We all learned together. Now, both in their early 50’s they enjoy doing work needed in their homes, and have also taught their children.
You are a great teacher, very organized and thoughtful. Your presentation is inspiring. Some people might think … it’s easy … but most of us know the steps one must take to have a good outcome!!! You are an artist. You are giving new life…teaching each of us to see the value and appreciate what we have! 🎉 im grateful your channel found me ! 🙏🌻🍁🍂🧡✨🌟
Thank you for this one. It helped with the wood on this dresser. I have my grandmother dresser. I will have to find out if it's fake wood or not. I didn't know that about it.
It's impossible to imagine the wreck it was without seeing the before pics and watching all the time and work you put into it because it's so beautiful now! 👍👏 I like the blue pine color and think it looks great with the stained top. It isn't in my top color choices though because it seems slightly pastel to me in some of the views and I prefer deeper, more vibrant (but not garish!) colors. 💖
Andersonville, Tennessee here!
OMG what a challenge! It looks great! Love the colours! It may have cause to learn new ways of doing things...You did a great job.
You did a bang up job. Congratulations.
beautiful top finish! 👀
I was happy with how it came out! It’s soooo smoooooth!
great little piece as always Angie you do your magic.
TENACIOUS!!!! I love that you gave this life again!
I have a new piece for my foyer. I like the color but want to antique it up a bit. Your videos give me ideas and I learn what I can use.
Indianapolis here. Wow what a save! Love color and hardware. Your work gets better and better thanks for sharing with us
Angie, you are so enormously talented! Even on pieces of furniture that you don't love, you bring them new life and new beauty!! I love how you talk us through every step you take, the products you use, the doubts you have, all which all lead to the reveal of perfection!! Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
This is what all old furniture looks like up here in the north of Sweden. I had to learn old painting techniques to be able to save them.
Thank you for being so gentle as to save the cob spider. ♥️
I love them, they are always safe with me. ❤️
It’s lovely Angie. The color is calming. Someone will love it.
Saludos desde Pontevedra (España 🇪🇦)
Love the finished product as usual. I think you are your own worst critic. I also love the color. I had a piece of furniture that color when I was a girl so it had good nostalgia for me.
You silk pursed that sows ear! I got a rustic shabby chic vibe from this one. Great job on recreating the nap board joinery, you did it like it was nobody business! I know someone will love that piece, but most of all you saved it. Hats off to you ma'am!
Thanks so much! 😊
I have been salvaging furniture my entire life, my mom has always done it, but you are so knowledgeable about the history and the wood. Even when you are doing something that I could do in my sleep, you always have a bit of knowledge that I did not know. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos!
You're very welcome! Thank you so much for watching!
It turned out beautifully, I love tye colors 😍
You've given this piece another 100 years of life. So 👍 great.
Glad you like it!
I am very impressed with your new Knapp joinery creation skills!!! ❤❤❤ I'm glad that you shared this with us, because things seldom go to plan and it was good to see how you worked through it. 👍 Nacho keeps getting cuter, even if he isn't helping you out like he's supposed to!!! 😀😄😁
Nacho thinks he's helping 😆Thanks so much for watching!
Angie, I have said that you are genius at this, but now I must add Master Magician to your title. You brought this piece to life!
Felicidades, has logrado un bonito mueble de lo que era una ruina.
Las acuarelas son muy bonitas y elegantes.
Saludos desde Aragón ( España ).
Absolutely lovely. What a difference. You not only saved it, you made it beautiful.
I'm so glad you like how it turned out!
Nacho has thumbs!!! Orange AND thumbs??? OMG that is the most amazing kitty to grace this planet! 😸💗
All four feet have extra beans!!! ❤️❤️❤️😺
Hi dear, another perfect job!! I loved it!!
That joinery is magical. I am so glad you repaired it. 🥰
Thanks for watching Aileen!
I think that piece will live on. Bless you for letting her have a chance.
That is always the goal! Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you for not giving up on this little chest of drawers, if I lived closer I would buy it; it turned out so pretty.
Thank you kindly!
I love when you do unusual projects where you are doing new things and learning new skills… especially when the pieces are super old and have cool joinery etc. ❤
Thanks so much for watching!
Your video production is getting better all the time. Thank you for showing the decision process too E.g. for the handles. I've never seen a piece painted to look like expensive wood, well not that I'm aware. And those curves dovetail joints! Sorry I can't remember what they are called. But you dove in and recreated them. You really are an artist with diligent craftsmanship. I just love watching your videos.
Thank you very much Kas!
Nailed it! Antique inspired finish on an actual antique. Chef's kiss.
Thank you so much!
Repairing the joinery takes real skill. And in old pieces like that, letting the dents and dings gives it character. Great job.
Thank you so much!
My uncle loved this faux wood grain, he covered all the woodwork in his hotse in it!!!
Love the color combo!! ❤
That little dresser turned out to be a treasure. Adorable
Thanks so much!
Beautiful transformation 💕
I love this dresser. All my furniture looks exactly like this, except I have taken it all down to the pine and stained everything dark walnut. There really is something for everybody in this world!
Thank you very much! I'm so glad you like it!
This is a great video. Thanks for the insight into your process. You put the "art" in artisan. You have awesome skills. Again, thank you!
Have you thought of doing a piece with the pink? I would love to see that.
I will for sure- just needs to be the right piece for the right reason :-)
you were right that dresser was made in the late Eighteen Hundreds my grandparents had one in their back bedroom with an attached mirror my daughter used it until we moved out of the old house in 1993 I believe she hated the mirror. lol I'm glad you could restore that one.
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Thank you for the info
I am so in love with your work. Tackling a Knapp joint takes real guts! It is so apparent that you love what you do. You get a standing ovation from me!
Awe, thank you John! Much appreciated!!
Love that you escorted your small guest out of the workroom… 😊
She’s standing proud once again and ready for duty. Great job as usual Angie.
Thank you so much!
This turned out beautiful!
Angie, this turned out awesome! I think the look is pretty universal, lots of people will want it. I love watching you problem-solve and learn so much watching your content. Thank you for sharing!
Thank YOU for watching! 😊
Bravo, Your hard work paid off and you saved it from the trash. Thank you for your sharing your talent and honesty. I appreciate you.
Thank you so much!
Came out really nice. Can't believe you were even able to save it. Great job.
Angie,you are awesome! You go beyond what most do,repairing furniture and making it whole again,then making it absolutley beautiful.you are my favorite,and I have learned so much from you.
Thank you so much Joyce, your kind words are much appreciated! I'm so glad you're finding my content helpful. ❤️
You passed with flying colors…It is absolutely gorgeous!!!🧡🧡🧡
Thank you very much!
