Before, during and after my latest furniture restoration. I used the original hardware. Cleaned with vinigar and dawn as a degrease,  lightly sanded,  and restained using MinWax special walnut color and MinWax Paste Finishing Wax to protect the finish. I lined the drawers using vinyl peel and stick wallpaper found on Amazon. It was missing some of the back, so I had to replace using beaded plywood, that i painted. Also, had to make the small drawers on top and the little backsplash under the mirror, as those were missing. I love how it turned out. When you start with something, that is solid wood, not veneer, solid oak, It’s wonderful how it turns out!
