Torn Veneer & Water Stains: Restoring a Mid Century Dresser
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- I get asked A LOT about why/when I would choose to scrape, strip, or just sand a finish off. I actually do all three of these on different parts of this piece, so thought I would explain why I'm choosing one over another depending on what the finish is like.
This beautiful, but pretty banged up mid century dresser had a TON of finish problems on the top; dark water rings, white water marks, flaking finish, missing finish, and a decent sized piece of missing veneer.
I used oxalic acid to remove the dark stains, and made a patch for the missing veneer. My patch isn't perfect, but it's a million times better than it was!!

I just love that you do a wonderful mix of complete restoration to its former glory and painting projects that would have otherwise been trashed. You are one of a handful of people on here that know when to fully restore a piece of furniture and when to make it a newer version of its former self. I really appreciate your care of these pieces!! As always continue the amazing work and I will always look forward to watching your videos!!
Wow! What an amazing piece to restore 🤩
The time and dedication you applied to this one was so worthy for the beautiful finish of the end product. This armchair viewer loves to watch and marvel at your patience and expertise to restoring and giving new life to otherwise rejected pieces of furniture 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
WoW Angie, if I hadn't kept track of where the repair was, I almost wouldn't believe it was ever damaged! This was, by far, my favorite part of the restoration. Your feel for the color variations of grain is astounding. You are a gifted young lady for sure. Most worth of the Master designation. Bravo!🌷🌷
Once again, you're really on of my favorite DIY gurus here on TH-cam! What a gorgeous dresser you made!
I ALWAYS watch every second of your videos. They are never boring and always informative. You do careful and beautiful work
My word, Angie, your skills amaze me. The care you take on every piece you refinish is phenomenal! What a beautiful dresser! 👏
Oh, darling! This piece's finish simply glows. Wonderful job.
I don't pretend to know why, but you're the best at helping me start to work on the mounds of furniture in my house that I need to refinish, both MCM and family antiques. I'm grateful.
I appreciate your showing us each step you had to go through to finish this piece. It reminded me how time consuming rehabbing furniture can be
Nailed it 🔨... Again.
Nice work Angie. The piece is beautiful.
I love your longer videos. I learn so much. Thank you. Your creations are exquisite!
Angie, this renovation is why i truely love your channel. Your skills are of expert quality. You are amazing 👏👏👏
I love that you didn't paint - you restored it all. Some pieces really deserve staying as they were made. You're very good!
Awe, thank you so much!
That is my dream dresser! Absolutely stunning. Thanks again for rescuing it. Thumbs up for long videos, too
Totally impressive. I would never have believed it was the same piece if I hadn't watched the video.
Omg this transformation is beautiful. That repair is so well hidden I'm amazed.
I like seeing the full.effort. As a serial owner builder doing good things to homes I like seeing the whole.
Thanks for watching!
Another amazing piece! This one was interesting because of that incredible repair and because it showcases the fact that some pieces don’t need any paint at all. Sometimes a more modern finish is just the thing to revive an older piece.
Love that you showed the patched area at the end👍 great job
Yes! I was hoping she would show it.
Always enjoy your refinishing video’s with it’s blend of 🎼 music, informative tips and your restoration skills. The worst most dreadful furniture pick ups I find the most rewarding to watch. You are truly blessed with your talent and video editing skills…. keep it up😊👍🇨🇦
Thank you so much for watching!
Wow I so enjoy watching you doing your magic. Every piece looks fantastic and and you are so thorough. That's something I really like. It's quality.
Great repair of veneer installation and use of tints and EXCEPTIONAL completion.
Thank you kindly!
Another awesome restoration. I love your attention to detail. You stand out.
Angie, I learn from every video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience!
Guuurrrrll! That is magnificent. What a transformation! You are indeed very gifted!!
Oh Angie! This turned out so amazing! You work is admirable, not only because you save furniture from the trash, but because you make the world a more beautiful place.
I have a MCM dresser that belonged to my late Mother-in-law. Since my husband passed, I've been wanting to have it refinished and one drawer repaired. It's going to our son, and really wish you were closer to Texas! I would trust you with it, without hesitation. ❣️
.....and the patchwork on this was stellar!! You rock!!
Thank you again Kristi!! 😊
You are definitely gifted. Just beautiful! I love watching these videos!
Wow! WOW!!! Absolutely beautiful piece. Love your attention to detail. Thanks for sharing.
Watching this repair and restoration was therapeutic! I’ve never watched someone replace damaged veneer. For someone in the business for only a few years you do great work. It’s inspiring!
Great job! You nailed it! 😄 Thank you for showing the patch work with the chipped veneer that was very helpful.
Beautiful Angie, as always 😊 Great patch job, it’s not even visible, brilliant 🤎
Find myself dancing to the reveal music😊! Beautifully done!
Another great restoration! I love the Nutmeg stain. Nice work on the veneer patch.
I always feel so satisfied at the end reveal. Your care and patience is remarkable and turns out an incredible product. Another winner!!!!
As always another beautiful piece. I love the long videos. And I love that you show your steps and explain what, why and how your doing it. A lot of other TH-camrs will just fast forward so quickly and I'm like, " but how did you do that?" Lol. Great job Angie! You are truly talented.
Just came across your channel and as a fellow refinisher your projects are very well done. I appreciate the time you spend to do it right. I get a lot of Frankensteins where someone has slapped it with paint or made bad repairs just to flip it. Thank you for showing folks how to do it right.
Great work on the repairs and grain matching. Thank you.
You did such a fabulous job on the patch. It is an absolutely stunning piece. I so enjoy watching you restore these pieces of furniture that were beautiful at one time but have been neglected or abused. You give them new life and beauty. I can't help but think that the piece of furniture is grateful.
Love your work Angie…you’re a great teacher.
Really excellent work blending in that veneer patch, so good
Beautiful work on a timeless piece of furniture.
You have a great eye and are an artist in wood refinishing. Beautiful as usual!
Hello from Greece!!! New in this channel and I spent my time watching and learning how to do beautiful restorations!
Great collective work!
Great way to template the area needing to be patched, very clever. I have just recently found your channel and have spent time watching previous projects!
That patch is brilliant, great job!
Just gorgeous.. I love mid century and you did a fabulous job with this.. I love it.
WoW! What a wonderful piece is! 🤩 You made a miracle with it. Thank you to share your knowledge with us 😍❤️
Beautiful restoration! Warm rich color...want to run my hands along to top to feel the silky finish!
her work area is neat, organized, and spotless!!!! It's inspiring
What a great demo on patching. Thank you.
Jaw dropping . Absolutely amazing transformation
Thank you kindly!
I love rewatching videos of some of my most favorite and most talented artists and it's like watching it for the very first time, especially artisting like Angie!!
Thank you so much!! 😃
Just WOW.
AMAZING job, yet again!!
You are so knowledgeable on so many things, it's inspiring!!
I love watching you work, I know that what you do is time-consuming and hard; for me it is therapeutic. The patch? what patch, incredible. A beautiful finish all praise and kudos to you!
As always, your staining is just divine!
Another fantastic restoration work on a beautiful old damaged chest of drawers, love your amassing work on these old furniture, you give such loving care and bring these old furniture back to useful life, a piece you'd be proud to have in any home. Thakyou once more for showing us your work.
It takes a whole lot of love of the process to accomplish your goals with these pieces. I love the nutmeg color. I just ordered some from Amazon. I wish I had these tools when I did this to an old vanity and a chest that belonged to my ex-husband. I spent hours and hours trying to accomplish those two pieces. Sadly, it was all for naught. But the lessons were invaluable.
I love watching your videos as I find them very zen.
Whether staining or painting, I find your work stunning. Thank you for the instruction.
GORGEOUS!!!! You have an Amazing eye for staining!
You seriously amazes me with your knowledge, your talents and your patience. I so admire woodworkers/carpenters and envy your incredible achievements. Bravo, you!!💐
I love watching all the work and fixing that needs to be done it interesting and calming lol x
WOW! So gorgeous and so much excellent instruction! Thank you.
Amazing. All of your work is amazing. Love your attention to details. It makes all the difference.
Thank you so much! 😊
Downright Gorgeous! What a stellar job. You are a genius! ♥️
Beautiful, love these mid century pieces.
the patched area is virtually indistinguishable from the rest. excellent work!
Your complete restoration videos are always my favorites. I love seeing all of the work it takes to get pieces like this looking new again and the end result you achieve never ceases to amaze me. I love what you do. Incredible job!!
I wish I could find those mid century pieces! A grocery store paper bag also works very good for those small nubs! Again, another beautiful piece, especially that patch!
Worth watching just for the tape template tip! Thanks. Came out AMAZING! 👏
Thank you! ❤️
I'm so impressed with your work.
You are so skilled. Great patch
Amazing work with that patch.
Amazing transformation!! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Can't tell from the camera where the patch even is! That's a well done patch job in my book! Very nice!
Wow. Just wow. I love this piece and am so impressed at your talent, knowledge, patience, and love for these poor, tired out beauties.
Beautiful! And you couldn't tell there was a patch!
Very, very nice. You did a great job on the patched area. Can’t even see it. Beautiful piece Angie!

Fabulous job! The patched veneer looks nearly invisible with your creative blending skills.
Amazing restoration! Better than new.
