Restoring a Painted Mid-Century Modern Dresser

Modern Makeovers
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. If you enjoyed this makeover, please like and subscribe to see more. And if you have any questions, I would be happy to answer your comments. Thank you for watching :) - Andy from Modern Makeovers ---------- Below is a list of the tools and products that I used.
