@refurbishedish I did NOT expect it to be this good under the paint… Would you risk $75 on a piece like this? I did because I HAD to know what was underneath the paint. I’m SO glad I did! Comment the word “LINK” for a list of everything I used on this piece!

The creator brings a white-painted mid-century dresser into the frame, applies chemical stripper, and scrapes away the paint to reveal the original wood grain. She then cleans, sands, and sprays a new finish onto the piece, reattaches the legs, and finally showcases the fully restored and styled dresser in a decorated room, posing next to her finished work.
