Restoration of Damaged Mid Century Modern Dresser


This Mid-Century Modern Dresser was severely damaged with 2 coats of paint, 1 coat of primer as well as the original finish. This video shows you how I brought this dresser back to life so it will become a treasured heirloom for the lucky family that purchases it.


I have never been so challenged in refinishing a piece of furniture. I learned some new techniques that I share with you- such as how to veneer a drawer easily. This video is posted on YouTube. The link to this video is : https://youtu.be/78Sq46fUE_4
