MCM Dresser Makeover | DIY Furniture Restoration - Repair - Refinishing

MCM Dresser Makeover / This Was SUCH a Good Find! Furniture Restoration - Repair - Refinishing
Hey guys! Follow along to see how I make over this old MCM dresser that I found on Facebook Marketplace. We'll show you how we prep the piece, remove the existing finish using chemical stripper, sand down the wood, do veneer repairs, and finally, finish the walnut to really make it shine. I've got some good DIY tips and tricks in the video so I hope you’ll find them helpful. This furniture makeover definitely came with its challenges, but it was sure rewarding. I loved it so much that we had to keep it for ourselves! Products and tools I use or talk about in this video will be listed below :)

Thank you ☺️

Kuddos on the veneer patching. Great job!!! I’ve yet to do that. I’m curious to know what microphone you use. I have both the Kimafun Lavalier and Movo VXR10-PRO External Video Microphone for Camera and I don’t like the sound that comes from either of them.

[@hollysgarage]

Thank you!! It’s pretty easy and it looks so much more seamless than filling and filsticking them 😊 I have the deity pocket wireless, it’s a pretty good mic but I have to watch out for my s’s. they can get a lil crazy on mobile when I watch it back 😂

[@tableflippinghousewife]

I’ve looked them up and there are three versions at $109 (marked down from $199), $89 and $84. can you tell which one it is that you use? I find that the microphones I have are fine when I’m outdoors but when I’m in my office doing voiceover, the sound is terrible.

They make shop hoses on reels

[@hollysgarage]

I need to get on that!!
