This FREE Dresser was Headed for the DUMP! I Ran into SO MANY Issues | DIY Furniture Makeover
Hey guys! Follow along to see how I make over this old dresser that was actually a two-piece hutch that I found on Facebook Marketplace. We'll show you how we prep the piece, remove the existing finish using chemical stripper, sand down the wood, do repairs, prime and paint using a paint sprayer, and finally, finish the walnut to really make it shine. I've got some good DIY tips and tricks in the video so I hope you’ll find them helpful. This furniture makeover definitely came with its challenges, but it was sure rewarding.
Despite the challenges, we were able to sell this piece off of Instagram stories in 1 day!
Products and tools I use or talk about in this video will be listed below :)
