SOLD✨ This one lasted just two days in the booth and sold before I could even get it posted! This dresser came to me by way of my friend, Jim, from who just moved out of state to be closer to his family. Jim was kind of like everyone’s handy, fix-it Dad around the shop and was always willing to lend a hand (and helped me haul and move countless pieces of furniture!). This dresser was his as a kid, and he gave it to me to refinish before he left.
It had good bones, but needed some modernization. I thoroughly cleaned it, sanded, and discovered some really pretty wood! I think it’s a mix of solid maple and maybe some poplar on the top, trim, and drawer fronts. I opted to re-stain it (and tone and tone and tone because these are hard species to stain…), lined the drawers, and updated the hardware. It also had a curvy trim piece at the top that I removed and a matching look on the bottom which a smoothed out to a single arch. I spent much longer on this one than I intended, but cheers to Jim and all he’s taught me! I’m so glad this found a new home so quickly to be loved on for another lifetime💛
