Dumpster Dresser- AMAZING RESTORATION of a trashed mid century dresser
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I couldn't believe my eyes when I got a message about a discarded mid century style dresser literally sitting roadside for garbage collection that day. While not every piece thrown out is worthy of or able to be salvaged, I decided to drive a half hour each way to go check this one out. Stinky, dirty, legless.
Four days of hot, sweaty work (summers in the valley of Nova Scotia are crazy humid and hot) later, I can't even believe it's the same piece. I'm thinking we are going to keep this one for ourselves to use in our living room.
I DID however discover a manufacturers error AT THE VERY END of not only the work, but editing this very video. I was crushed to realize they had put two handles on the wrong drawers, covered the mistake with toner, and because I simply took each handle off during the refinishing process and numbered them to go back on the same drawers, I didn't catch the error until it was pretty much too late. My friends Jim & Cindy from @FurnitureWarriors reminded me that mint error coins are often worth more. Maybe it's the same with furniture?? Hahaha! One can only hope!

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)!

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 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!
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. ❤️

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 💚
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.

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.
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.
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.

You are so hard on yourself. This turned out beautiful, and the handles look good as is. Another fine job.

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...). 🤣

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.
You did an amazing job on this old dresser. When you actually see some of these vintage mid-century furniture pieces redone properly, it reminds me of how beautiful they can be. Coming from a house with quite a number of these pieces, I am so grateful for your breakdown of the steps you took, from getting rid of the musty smell, to analyzing the pattern in the wood grain. These touches are often overlooked (at least in the filming process), and they are so vital to a professional quality finish. Watching these videos helps give me the knowledge and confidence to tackle these projects on an entirely different level than I had originally contemplated. I know painted furniture is all the rage, but for me, on a personal level, the perfection of nature is what makes my heart sing. Thank you. (I hope the bunnys are doing better.)❤

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.

Infallibility is not a human option. The Flowing, glowing wood grain is very satisfying to my eye.

Amazing! You're too hard on yourself!
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.
No matter if the handles are wrong you have done a terrific job, beautiful piece.

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!!
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 honestly gorgeous! I'm so glad you kept the natural wood look and didn't paint over it. And I can't even see the mistake you're talking about.

Your work is always stunning to watch! And the fact you noticed the drawer handle error shows how much attention to detail you have on your makeover pieces. Another great reveal, Angie!

Thank you kindly! 😄
"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.

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!

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!
It's stunning and you did an amazing job. Noone would ever have noticed it if you hadn't commented on it. You're a perfectionist!

I know I'm a year late to the party but I tried so hard to see the "mistake" and now I feel silly that I can't! That just means you've got quite the eye for detail! Love dumpster diving. Well done!

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 KZread channel.

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.

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.
Looks incredible!
You're kidding right!! This is perfect!!! I actually love the handles the differentiated tones of wood it matches the top the legs.. I lOVE it!!. You did an absolute amazing job!

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.
