First Dresser project
This was perhaps my first foray into the exciting world of refinishing. A lot of mistakes were made but also a lot of lessons were learned. I found this nice dresser while driving home from campus one afternoon in the late spring. Tallahassee is a classic example of a southern college town in many categories. With that comes the mass exodus of people following the conclusion of a semester. In the wake of all these people leaving town, a great deal of used furniture ends up left out on the curb either due to spatial constraints or lack of interest. This is the perfect time to find one of a kind pieces, that with a little attention and skill can be made awesome.
This specific dresser is a traditional pine model made by the drexel furniture company. My wife and I believe
that it was made sometime in the 1980's and hadn't had much love until we got our hands on it.
