SAVED! RESTORING a mice & moisture damaged mid century dresser

This video shows how I scraped my way through the old, brittle finish on this mid century dresser, down to the raw walnut and nourished it back to life. This project took approx 2 days to complete.
This piece belonged to Andrea's grandparents; it was purchased by her father in 1962. Canadian made by VicArt, this gorgeous walnut dresser was unfortunately temporarily left in an unheated house for a few years and had mice making their home in the drawers. Luckily, we managed to salvage it and the matching tall dresser, as well as a headboard/footboard.

As well, I'm glad that you kept the drawer pulls in their original finish. Maybe ten years from now you can spray them black for an updated look. But for now enjoy what the piece must have looked like the day her grandparents had the furniture delivered to their home. The manufacturer chose really beautiful walnut veneer. I love the two way veneer look. Bravo, Angie on your choice of finish!

It makes the death 100x worst. It was my entire family (including extended) vs my uncle. He took advantage of my grandmas estate in another state and sold it before she even died. Then no one knew until she died! She didnt even know because she told us all she wanted it to stay in the family for us all to enjoy. He cashed in and built a million dollar home. It was a lot of land that was in our family back from the 1800's. My cousin tried buying the land back, but unfortunately couldn't because it was sold to loggers.

As for the hardware, I'm pro keeping them the same. It's not because I wouldn't like them spray painted. It's because I like the authenticity of the past. Sometimes the hardware is very worn and spray painting uplifts them, or replacing them is necessary. In this case the hardware just needed cleaning and there's something very special about keeping the piece as is in memory of the grandparents who left them behind. You can always spray them in the future if you find You and your Partner would like it better. It's a fabulous piece and it looks great. I too am happy you were able to get it out of a destructive environment and refinish it to it's glory. As always, Great Work!

Keeping the drawer pulls silver was the right choice. The silver kind of makes a "statement," if you know what I mean. Odies oil makes such a beautiful finish. I'm currently working on refinishing my first dresser, and I will definitely use Odies.

@marcnshawny Жыл бұрын

Silver was probably the right choice for keeping it authentic, but maybe even antiqued gold or brass, just a little downplay so the wood is the show rather than the hardware. Black would have really showcased the wood grain but this one already has such stunning contrast that it isn't needed. Just me.

Here’s a tip. Recently have cleaned out a tiny house that had a mice problem but wanted a non toxic or non smelly solution. Turns out mice and many rodents and insects don’t like peppermint oil, so I got some essential oil-peppermint and put a little on cotton balls and put them all over the house in cupboards, drawers, closets, and even under the house. It worked! 6 months later still no mice AND the house is in the county. Hope this helps someone! BTW I found the peppermint oil from WalMart worked great, later on I had bought some more expensive oils off amazon and it wasn’t nearly as effective, nor as strong a scent.

The silver is interesting, but I’m not sure how it would look in black. I wonder if it would look good in a brass tone? I’m not generally a fan of brass/gold tones, but it could work here. Ultimately it’s up to you! You could try painting one and if you don’t like it, remove the paint and go back to natural. Whatever you ultimately decide, I’m sure it will look amazing! Well done!

The piece is beautiful and I like the silver knobs. And that sofa is to die for....

That is such a beautiful piece. The wood grain on the bottom is special!

Wow, such an interesting piece with those almost hidden lower drawers! I love its design and of course how you restored and enhanced its beauty! Fabulous!

A scraper is a favorite tool of mine. When the finish is so dry and the crystals of the finish jump up and away as the scraper goes by, that's SO SATISFYING, isn't it?

Love that piece. Glad you had all the original drawer pulls and glad you kept their original finish. Loved that the original tag was still stapled inside the drawer. Reminded me of my grandparents. Those tags seem to say they know the furniture will outlive them so they’re just using for a little while before it’s passed on to the next owner. Notice you kept the tag! The sectional sofa was fantastic as well. I have a new love for mid century especially the dressers and chests. Great job

Oh my goodness this piece is stunning! Odie’s oil never disappoints 😍 It’s so awesome that you were able to save this piece. With all your hard work, you would never know the state you found this in. Amazing transformation.

Absolutely gorgeous! I am so glad you were able to save it and I think it's fine that you didn't paint the drawer pulls. Another wonderful outcome of something that looked beyond saving 💛

At first I thought the silver was going to make it look like it belonged in an office building but once I saw the final product I was amazed and impressed as always lol, great video! I look forward to these every week
