IN THIS VIDEO, I'm attempting to refinish my own childhood dresser. A lot of the finish issues and scratches are actually my own fault (haha) so it's kind of poetic that 20+ years later, I'm bringing this one back to beautiful.

Girl, you rock! I also still have my teenage years bedroom suite and I'm 75 years old and sleep in that bed every night. It's gone through one repaint and then a strip and varnish. Sadly, my work isn't as good as yours. I love the way you respected the dents and scratches, because, really, that's part of who you are. I just discovered your work about a week ago, and already I've learned so much from you. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks! I still buy bargain worn pieces and make them into something better than they were and I suspect they will last a lot longer than I will. I also love that you love animals so much.

The moody music perfectly conveys the flowing memories as you tenderly give TLC to your childhood dresser. Would that I still had mine! My mother replaced my childhood furniture abruptly, without asking or telling me. It was just gone; all but the toy chest, which she kept and repurposed several times over decades. Finally I inherited it, and it sits in the garage waiting for me to do something with it. Dates back to 1957. PS your dresser turned out absolutely lovely!🌹

Gorgeous wood grain hiding under that finish. How satisfying to see life breathed back into the piece. ❤️ What a great tip about the tack cloth. I didn't know that. I have tons of old furniture that has the original hard loved finish. I was told to use mineral spirits because it doesn't raise the grain. That worked realky well on an old oak drop leaf table I have but I might try the denatured alcohol on another piece.

The paint has been peeling off - thanks fish tank - and now I see it is solid wood. Dove tailed joints in the drawers and a nice simple design. Hope to get to it this summer with a scrapper!
