My parents have had this dresser in their garage for about the last 15 years. Before that it was in my room and before that it was in my mothers room growing up. So, needless to say this is a very old dresser and it has seen better days.
For the last 10 years or so I’ve asked my dad if I could refinish the dresser so I can use it, I always got the same answer, “it’s so dirty and old and I don’t want to clean it out because I don’t know where I’ll put the stuff that’s in it.” So when we started fixing up the babies room I tried one more time and to my surprise they said yes. All it took was for me to say it’s for a grandchild–geeze! So I went and picked up the dresser and brought it home. I stripped it – all 10 layers of paint, sanded it and repainted it. I stained the top of the dresser to match another dresser I refinished a few years ago that is in the room as well. Here are some pictures of the dresser before I started and then the finished product.
