A first for me is complete! 💪
Refinishing this 1960's MCM chest of drawers was a welcome change from my usual makeovers.

I repaired the broken board that secured the back right foot. Sanded everything minus the laminate top which had minor scratches that I filled in with color matching markers.

I stained the sides, legs and apron, leaving the fronts of the drawers raw wood.
I sealed everything up with clear wax, then buffed.

I loved the opportunity to bring out the natural beauty of this stately, sleek piece. ✨

One more drawer to go. 💪

That wood grain! 😍

I've begun removing the old varnish on the drawers with a 220 grit sandpaper.

Slow and steady in the direction of the grain.
Light handed to prevent burning through the veneer.

If you could feel the after photo!
Super smooth and sexy! 💖

This project is finished. 💪

It feels like this piece is standing tall and proud now,
not "broke down and brown".

That's my new saying. 😉

Gold over silver look like buttons on these black leather strap handles. 💛🖤

Thank you for hanging out with me last night while I work on this end table! 🥰

Today I went in with more green and added some veining to this faux turquoise look.
