--Original Poem-
I would much rather hand sand
Than to ruin a piece
Veneer repairs
Are my favorite - not really.
They’re my least.
Once it’s gone
You can’t get it back
You can only try to repair it.
These are facts.
So go gently into this process
Take your time
And it may not be flawless
But sanding through it would be a crime.

Watching this transformation was like watching a middle aged person who has never looked after their skin getting a peel, lots and lots of nourishing serums and a big thick layer of moisturiser to seal the whole lot in and their skin is just glowing with all that goodness. This dresser feels exactly like that middle aged person did after the facial! It just looks so healthy now. Gorgeous Emily. Such a fabulous job as always.

The pampering was an act of self love that we started doing during lock down. Helped immensely with mental health. We enjoy it so much we've decided to make it an ongoing weekly thing. Everyone should set aside one night a week to really love and treat themselves because we are all worth it.

What a beautiful piece was hiding under there! Now that it’s done, it doesn’t look MCM, I don’t think. It’s got a style similar to the old camp chests and almost the feel of bamboo with the brass bands wrapping the rounded edge pieces. I especially love those drawer pulls with their fake keyholes. A really striking highboy and you did a wonderful job on its restoration. Thank you for the poem!🌸

Finally a furniture restorer that not only appreciates the significance of chemical stripper but knows how to use it correctly. I have seen so many restoration videos of people sanding, scrapping and even wire brushing when what should be used is a chemical stripper. We don't have After Wash here in the Uk but looking at the label on line it's a mix of chemicals including Acetone, if you can get neat Acetone in the US then for Nitro Cellulose (which is what is been stripped here) Acetone will be fine. For French Polish always use Methylated Sprits as cleaner / neutraliser.

Stunning restoration! From the labor of love of sanding by hand, to the brass hardware. Just beautiful! Well done!

This is STUNNING, Emily!!😍 What gorgeous veneers hidden under that dark varnish. Your veneer repair work (while it’s your least favorite thing to do) is spectacular and the color matching, between the wood filler and stain markers, is as well. Just a beautiful transformation, Emily.💜

Beautiful piece. I so appreciate your attention to detail. The design on the drawers reminds me of overgrown dovetail joints. I just love all the contrast in the wood. Great find, and now it's even better. You even got Dashner's attention! 🙂👍

They really do. I'm still a bit star struck over here! The Lane Acclaim tallboy has two small dove tail joints on the left and right side of the drawer faces, which is cool but these are something else! Thank you Holly!💜
