My younger than me wife and I like to do things together.
Usually that means we take something that is old and make it new again.
Like when she married me….
But this ain’t about me.
It’s about her over 40 year old dresser and nightstand.
She has had it since childhood….but doesn’t want it to look like it.
So, we went to work by taking it outside, removing the drawers and handles and I showed her how to use the belt sander to take off the finish and get it ready to paint.
Next, it was paint. We headed to the Home Depot and decided one 3 shades of grey.
She took care of the lighter color and I took care of the trim and cut in and also the spray painting of the handles.
After drying, I put everything together.
Then moved it back into the house, where we hope to have it for another 40 years or so.
First time for us refinishing our own furniture.
Further proof that an old dog can learn new tricks.

Loving the difference between the original and refurbished piece! It looks fabulous. ❤
Thank you. We like to restore rather than replace.
