Sensibly, we strive to maintain a wooden element to any refurbishment. Paint pops best when complimented by wood grain.

For this piece, it was fully painted out of the factory, but the beautiful wood grain veneer on the dresser’s top was too good to exclude from the restoration.

The original brass drawer pulls were tarnished… but salvageable. See the video below for how we returned their luster.

The most difficult step was outlining the carved adornments in navy. This required a tedious amount of touching up, but eventually, we arrived at the finished product.
