I've had SO many people recently ask me why my business has the word "Gallery" in it, when I'm completely online. AND how I found my own refinishing style. And the truth is- I wasn't always an online only business! I used to have a brick and mortar shop. I also started my business in a dark and dingy basement, and throughout the last few years worked my tail off to try to learn how to do things better, and my personal style slowly evolved over time.
I want this video to be inspiring for people just starting out, who might feel strange working in a basement, or apartment, or a shed. There is NO SHAME in any of that! I only have the workroom I have today through a series of events beyond my control, and a TON of hard work. Keep going! You'll find your own style and presences over time. For example- most of what I did in the early stages was painted, and a lot of it farmhouse/distressed. Now, I do MOSTLY mid century, and a lot of it is restoration or paint/wood combinations. BE GENTLE, hahaha, some of these are a bit.. hmm... maybe not my best work, but I was learning. We all are learning. KEEP LEARNING! ❤️

I was concerned for you and yours with the storm that came your way this weekend. Hope you were unaffected.

We got rocked pretty good. But compared to Puerto Rico, and other parts of Nova Scotia, PEI, and the worst for Canada was poor Newfoundland… we made out ok overall.

@jill552 2 года назад

I knew you were the best furniture saver on RU-vid, but didn’t know how talented you are. You have evolved in a relatively short period of time. Your esthetic is really beautiful. I used to watch all of the “flippers” but now only a handful. You are my favorite. Envy your epoxy floor every time I see it.

You’re an artist Angie. Every artist goes into shock when they look at their first pieces of work. Great story.

I remember randomly surfing RU-vid in April, 2021 and coming across your first video. I was hooked. I'm impressed with your natural teaching abilities, (yep, I'm that teacher lady that loves your teaching style) and your amazing artistic eye. Thank you for making my stressful days more relaxing every time I watch your channel! So glad you and your loved ones are okay after Fiona. Praying things turn around quickly for Canada!

@lauris5708 2 года назад

What a fun video! It was really nice to learn of the history of your career and to see the evolution of your style. I think you sell yourself short with regards to staging; it is clear that you have a good eye for composition and even your earlier photos look really good to me. My favorites have to be the bunny photos; I would love it if you used more "bunny models" in future staging photos! I love your work and am always happy to see a video from you.

Wow this was COOL!!! I so appreciate that you shared this with us. I LOVE LOVE LOVE where your taste and skills have morphed into. I love the sensible way of painting the ugly and oiling the beautiful woods and the combos of that. When you find that ALL the wood is beautiful, you clean sand oil wax and bring the amazing natural beauty of the wood grain and color. Love that! Love what you do!!!

Your videos are so relaxing and fun to watch. Having my own little wood shop in my garage and building my own furniture I know how much work goes into finishing a piece. Keep up the great work!

@LoriM222 2 года назад

Angie, I loved this video!! This is so wonderful to see. The progression of your spaces and your furniture work is simply amazing! You are one of my absolute favorite You tubers!! I aspire to become as good as you are but living with horrible chronic back pain stops me often from starting and finishing a piece. It's very slow going but I have all I need to do this on a regular basis and I will, it just won't happen the way it does for so many people who don't have this condition. I can't wait until I can create the Black paint/wood pieces like you and others create, they are absolutely my number 1 favorite! And it bums me out that used furniture has gone up significantly and that has put a real damper in my desire to do this. I love your channel and your work so much, so thank you for ever starting a You Tube channel! Continued success, Angie
