This week I’m back with the matching long dresser for the farmhouse-style nightstands I refinished a couple of weeks ago — and this is just one part of a massive project. I’m in the middle of refinishing an entire 7-piece bedroom set, and this long dresser was next in line. If you love full furniture makeover series, you’re going to want to follow along as this whole set comes together piece by piece. For this dresser, I started by stripping the top all the way down to bare wood. I used lacquer thinner to clean up any remaining finish, then sanded everything smooth. Contour sanding blocks handled the edges beautifully, and my SurfPrep sander was perfect for all those curves and details. I finished the prep with a final sand at 220 grit. Next came the staining process: • Pre-stain conditioner to ensure an even finish • A base coat of Briarsmoke penetrating stain • Once that dried, I added Hickory gel stain for more depth, warmth, and dimension After achieving the perfect tone, I sealed the top with shellac and then applied multiple coats of durable topcoat. Once the woodwork was complete, I masked everything off and moved the dresser into the spray tent for primer, paint, and a full topcoat system to match the rest of the set. The final touch was reinstalling the original hardware — keeping that beautiful, aged patina that gives these pieces their vintage charm. This dresser is now completely transformed and ready to join the nightstands as I continue working my way through this huge 7-piece set. Be sure to watch until the end and follow along for the upcoming pieces, because the full set makeover is going to be stunning when it’s all done.
