    This Challenge is hosted by Lemons to Lemonade TX. The goal was to create fall inspired , magical, spell-binding or spooky pieces of furniture.
    Link to the playlist with all of the other channels who participated in this challenge:
    • Halloween/Fall Furnitu...
    My piece was a 20£ vintage dresser which I sanded down, and used a router to create many small faux drawers. I replaced damaged veneer and applied Danish oil to make the wood look beautiful. I used orange scented bees wax for the inside of the dresser, the back and the drawers. Label pulls were attached to complete the look.
    Thanks for watching.

    Stunning transformation! At the first of the video, I thought this would be a card catalog like we used in libraries in ancient days. The result is charming, and I especially like the "secret" jewelry boxes on the top. the variety of colors of the wood is another charmer. Super-nice work!
