What I thought would be a straightforward refinishing project quickly turned into a much bigger challenge—and a great opportunity to learn something new. This solid wood vintage dresser was handpicked from my inventory by a client for a custom makeover. The plan was simple: refinish the piece in the style they wanted. But when I realized the existing trim board couldn’t be altered to achieve the look they envisioned, I had to pivot. The only solution? Remove it completely and build an entirely n

This was one of the most extreme furniture makeovers I’ve ever taken on—and the transformation is absolutely worth it! I started with a long dresser and two nightstands that weren’t even a matching set. But with creativity, problem-solving, and a whole lot of work, I turned them into a stunning cohesive set. The process was no small task. I had to strip the tops down to bare wood, rebuild the nightstand bases, and add trim supports for brand-new legs to bring everything to the right height. I re

Have you ever felt like your furniture is fighting back? That was me all day with this Restoration Hardware dresser.It’s a stunning piece, but two of the drawers were nearly impossible to slide out—and once I managed to get them out, getting them back in was a whole new battle. I needed all the drawers out so I could make adjustments and prep the piece for refinishing.The problem? These little safety catches that are meant to prevent the drawers from falling out. Over time, the flexible rubber t

This dresser was a behemoth — fifteen drawers, solid construction, and in overall good condition — but anyone who refinishes furniture knows that means doing everything fifteen times over. Prep alone on a piece this size is no small task. I started by fully disassembling the dresser and giving it a thorough cleaning. From there, I filled the existing hardware holes, addressed dents and dings, and sanded every surface to create a smooth, consistent foundation. To modernize the overall look, I use

This large 6-drawer dresser was the perfect candidate for a Pottery Barn Sausalito–inspired transformation—but it came with its share of challenges. The veneer was in rough shape, and repairing it became a project all its own. Hours upon hours went into splicing in new pieces of veneer, gluing, clamping, and repeating that process until every damaged area was repaired. Once the structure was sound, it was time for the real work: stripping every single inch of the piece and then sanding it multip
