On this channel I will take you along as I refinish pieces of furniture that have been neglected and damaged. After all, don't we all need a second chance? Perhaps, "A Life Refurbished" can be better than the previous life. You can expect a lot of tutorials on painting techniques, furniture repurposing and DIY's.

Restoration Of A Mid Century Modern Dresser With An Orange Finish
Welcome back to A LIFE REFURBISHED! In this video, join me as I work on a modern dresser with an orange dated finish I found on Facebook Marketplace. I'll be stripping off the old orange finish, and giving it a new stained look. But not before failing first, and overcoming a few obstacles as the wood underneath the lacquer was pretty discolored.

Beautiful!
Truly adorable 💖💖
Beautiful ❤
Beautiful.😊
I love it! ❤
I bought bronze metallic paint from Modern Masters. After seeing this video I feel like I’m over my head! I’m new to this.
@@roseklein5359 What kind of project were you thinking to tackle?
What a happy accident with the shadowing! I love what it adds to the dresser.😍 Way to persevere!😅👏
new one for sure
Fab completely FAB
Looks good and different. Just out of curiosity what if you had bleached the entire piece with oxalic acid?
I’m sweating just from watching🥵! Your client should watch this video - mandatory:) Great result Lucky little girls🫶🏻
You are one of the best furniture artists on TH-cam! Your furniture is beautiful and you are clearly invested in teaching viewers how to achieve the same results Thank you
That's beautiful
Thank you!
Inspirational design
Glad you think so!
Beautiful! ❤️
Thank you! 😊
Thank you! 😊
Oxalic acid, and toner
Those would’ve helped but very tricky dealing with so many light and dark spots next to each other.
@aliferefurbished I like that you made your own toner. Nice job.
Loved the lighter color. Beautiful.
Thank you!
Love it!
Thanks!!
So glad!
Gorgeous! I think I now have the confidence to try this…maybe. 😊
You should!
You did a great job...it looks gorgeous 👍🏼👍🏼💯💯
Thank you so much 🤗
Waleska, you can try an Oxalic acid treatment to treat those patchy spots. Works amazingly with a lot of dark stains in wood. It’s easy to use, but be careful you neutralize it before sanding (it firms crystals that need water or spirits to remove). It really helps!
@@datachickatl4092 Thank you! I’ve used oxalic before, but this veneer had dark and LIGHTER spots. I’m afraid oxalic would’ve made those even lighter. Thank you!
Looks great! I really appreciate the fact that you show all of the issues that you encounter. Gives me hope for my projects!
@@canadiangirl826 Ups and downs were part of it all. Glad it gives you hope. ☺️
Love it!
Thanks!!
Yes it's lovely! 😊
Thank you! 😊
What a frustrating journey, but the end result was quite nice! Good on you for not giving up and painting it.
@@samiam4951 It was! And just like you I’m glad it ended with a great looking piece.
I wonder if you could have done a paint wash in a dark color. Have you ever tried that?
Yes! I could’ve done that and it would’ve worked. I was trying to save myself some time here by using the sprayer instead.
It’s amazing
Thank you!
It turned out lovely! I was going to mention oxalic acid but several others already did. But you overcame the splotchiness and turned out a unique and beautiful piece.
Yes, unique it is, thank you!
...Beautiful...you took the long route but it paid off big time!!...💓
This dresser definitely took me through a longer journey than I had anticipated! ☺️
I think I would have bleach the top
Yes your right your creativity is beautiful have a great week ❤
@@ritameza2961 Awww thank you!
Really really nice. This turned out soooooo beautiful. Your bravery lead you to creating a masterpiece. You taught us a lot. Thank you. Linda Beals.
Thanks so much 😊
It turned out lovely in the end. If I'm not mistaken, it looks like you used oil-based wood conditioner and the rest were water-based products? I thought it wasn't good to mix the oil and water because of the short time period between the condition and stain, or do I have that wrong?
I used oil based the first time I try staining it but scrubbed it all off with mineral spirits. Then I sealed it all after washing using clear shellac. Everything after that was water based. ☺️
Was there a veneer on this that was sanded off? I want to try this on a 60's maple hutch, but i think the finish is a veneer, and im not sure how to handle that...any thoughts?
It was veneer, you could use a chemical stripper instead of sanding if you’re worried about burning through the veneer.
@@aliferefurbished thank you! I'm going to try sanding...what level sandpaper do you recommend on veneer?
It was a difficult one but I hope you can sell it for top dollar. Good luck and kudos to your hard work
Thanks 👍
A day in a furniture flipper...wow. That was many lessons in just one piece of furniture! You worked it out beautifully! Thanks for sharing.
@@truthseeker9108 Yes! Many lessons ☺️
Looks great!
@@bethjablonski2877 Thank you!!
Holy cow 🐄 this one FOUGHT BACK!!! but as always, perseverance conquers. Looks incredible my friend 👏
@@salvagedbykscott Thank you Katie! 😘😘😘
Beautiful results! Turned out to be a happy accident. :)
@@susanreed5490 Thank you! 😊
It turned out beautifully!! You persevered and came out with a fantastic result. Thanks for showing how you got there and what you faced along the way.
@@susanrichardson4025 Absolutely! Sharing it all, that way if I go mad one day, you’ll all know why. 😆
Definitely a good transformation 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you!!
When you first pointed out the dark edges I didn't think it was looking good, but good for you trusting your vision and skills because it came out great!
@@learnintoflip Awww thanks! Not sure I was so trusting of my vision , it kind of happened and I went for it. ☺️
Wow!!!! Thank you for showing how things did not work out initially and how you pivoted!
@@tjholtz9860 Absolutely! It doesn’t always go according to plan ☺️
Great job! It looks fabulous!
Thank you! 😊
I am glad it was you who refinished this old guy. It’s gorgeous! I am glad it was not painted by some immature refinisher that removes all the history and slaps it with latex paint.😳🧐😂
You turned it into a masterpiece. That’s shadowing is so suiting for this style dresser. Well done!
@@Dahliaismypassion Awww thank you! ☺️
What an outstanding job! I knew if anyone could make this dresser look gorgeous again it would be you! I absolutely love the amazing results! The idea you had to frame the drawers with the darker stain is beautiful! You saved this dresser and it looks stunning! 😊❤ Perfect job transforming this! 😊❤
@@pamsheets632 Awww you’re so sweet, thank you. Glad you like it! ☺️
Some of those MCM pieces used a lower grade veneer or wood that was naturally more blotchy and used lots of lacquer toner to even out the finish. I liked your DIY toner, very artistic application. I notice you used a mask vs. full respirator when using Klean Strip...I've been reading a lot about protecting our bodies from these chemicals, but basically, the respirator is better. If you can smell it through your mask, those chemicals are entering your body, even with good ventilation.
Interesting, a lower grade veneer makes so much sense. Making our own toner is much more affordable. I’m sure it would’ve taken a few cans of the Mohawk one to even this guy out, which increases the price I would’ve had to sell it. And you’re right, wearing the respirator is safer.
👍👍
Was not looking good for a while, but finally came together. That looks like teak, it's a naturally yellow brownish orange color. It's usually finished with no stain and then color toners sprayed to even it out.
@@larrynelson3329 Thank you, I agree that it looks like teak. This was my first time refinishing that wood type, and it definitely took me for a wild ride. Definitely learned a lot from it. ☺️
