  • I found this painted chest of drawers on the Facebook Marketplace and knew it needed a restoration. In this video I remove all the paint from the surface, apply new veneer, use gel stain, and spray water-based polyurethane. Let me know if you like the final look of this restored piece of furniture!

    Beautiful job. What a lovely piece - so glad you restored it back to the original character.

  • @sarahjoyce5041
    @sarahjoyce5041 Před měsícem +6

    Oh tip I would suggest is next time you have veneer that's not missing but perhaps not glued down any more. You can use a needle to put glue and then clamp it you dry. You can save the veneer this way. But if you have a bunch of missing veneer it is certainly easier to redo it all. Just depends on how much you want to sink into the project. You did a fantastic, fantastic job. 😁

    • @helenflouch
      @helenflouch Před měsícem +1

      My panic too - stop! 😱. Most of that could have been glued.

    • @HomeFromFarAway
      @HomeFromFarAway Před 20 dny

      yeah. I almost clicked off the video when he did that. much more costly and time consuming to replace the veneer but at least he didn't repaint it or stain horribly

  • @gingerdunn6590
    @gingerdunn6590 Před měsícem +28

    For not having a router you did a good job. I'm glad you talked to Jay from flipping drawers he knows how to replace veneer and he is good at it. I love watching his videos.Prayers and Love 💕 From Oklahoma

    • @FurnitureFlippa

    A great no-nonsense resto. Probably a smidgen better than when it was first made.

    This one gives you something to work with. Not in the worst shape. I hear a lot of criticism in the way furniture was painted in weird colors, but it probably looked pretty good in their own choice of decor. I think it gets personal. An open mind is required! LOL!

    Try using a chip brush to apply the paint stripper in the future. That rag or sponge didn't leave a thick enough coat of stripper which is why it dried out. Your plastic bag application seemed to be on point. Very beautiful restoration!
