In this makeover, I take a refinished dresser back in time to its original wooden glory.
This dresser was floating around on Facebook Marketplace for weeks before I stumbled across it. The seller had written that it would be perfect for a refinishing project, and that's exactly what I picked it up for. This piece was constructed with 100% solid elm -- even the sides of the drawers -- which is a rare and valuable find, so I had to go with a full wood stain restoration to bring out the beautiful grains. It had been previously chalk painted with some stenciling on the door; the chalk paint was peeling and chipping everywhere, due to a lack of proper prep work on the wood prior to painting. This made it quite easy to just scrape off most of the paint, with some help of a paint stripper.

Thank you for watching :)

Thank you for all the awesome comments, everyone! 🙏🏻❤️ I’m excited to share the next one with you all :)
There's two types of people: the "paint everything" crowd and the "painting over wood is sacrilege" crowd. I'm just happy any time a piece is kept from a landfill for a while longer. If painting it keeps it in use another five years, and then someone buys it and restores it for another five years of use, that's ten years it wasn't in a landfill! This is a beautiful restoration and anyone who loves the natural wood look would be happy to have it in their home ❤
It's actually nice to see the reverse of these furniture flips. Everyone is painting furniture now. It's nice to see quality wood pieces Restored.
Love how practically everything used is salvaged from something, even down to sponges.
I love how you repeated the tapered rice grain shape of the new wooden handles that was found in the original handle. Speaking as a former art school student, It really ties everything together and makes the whole piece look more cohesive. I feel like the new piece would look really nice as a hutch for storing plates, cutlery, tablecloths, etc in a dining room
I love seeing "shabby chic" pieces restored to their original condition.
Just beautiful. And, THANK YOU, for the silence in place of annoying music. It's so calming.❤️🐦🐞🌼
Came for the dresser, stayed for the impressively well kept garden.
I cannot believe such beautiful timber was hidden under that god awful paint. Kuddos for the superb workmanship and salvaging this gorgeous piece of furniture. Amazing transformation! 💯❤
I don’t know why but watching you strip that god awful “chateau” decal/stamp nightmare was so cathartic. This turned out incredible!
Great job turning that mid century modern piece from the “Chateau Marmont Est 1927” to the country and time period where it came from.
I could watch you make over furniture for hours…wait, I have been watching you for hours. You are incredibly talented and your eye for design and your precision are simply wonderful.
Is there anyone else who finds them making a pointy little stick for the handles particularly satisfying
You can hear this piece sigh now that all that paint us gone!! Beautiful.
Also besides the great workmanship, I really enjoyed the editing cuts and camera work.! Good job
Love that you don't play any music. Just the sound of the the tools.
I have to say thank you for not putting a different coat of paint on this piece! Love natural wood and stains you can never go wrong with a nice dark stain!
Beautiful! So glad to see you show the grain instead of painting it.
Handles were a nice touch, nice staining too through out and inside..
The amount of work you put into not only restoring but filming and editing...HELLA respect and appreciation 🌻 thanks for sharing such incredible craft with us!
