Coated in Plastic? Detailed Furniture Makeover ofMid Century Modern Dresser | Paint & Stain

By letter2self on May 30, 2023



Personal Opinion – I don’t like blonde lacquer finishes. They make most mid-century modern pieces of furniture look like plastic. In this video we will paint and stain this mid-century modern dresser as well as add some fancy new legs. I hope you enjoy the video. If you have questions, please drop your comments below. Oh yeah, I also made a new stain color.

Original Poem:
A blonde finish,
Lacquer- tinted.
Curves and angles – means business.
Wood grain – not printed.

I saw you in the Thrift store
Drove 30 minutes
Maybe more…
Your cost- It was near my limits.

Took you home
Left you alone
But now it’s time
To make you refined!
