Before & After: Erin’s Inherited Dresser
Erin inherited her grandparents’ dresser set but due to 30 years of wear and tear, it needed some love. Cut to: she’s ankle deep in supplies with no idea how to proceed and ready to throw in the towel. We’re so glad she persevered because, well, check out her results.
It took a year and lots of help from her dad (who even brought his palm sander across five states to give to her), but she was able to strip, sand, stain and clear coat this beauty.
From Erin:
There were several times I wanted to quit, but the thought of basically ruining heirlooms and such nice pieces of furniture made me keep going. After one year, two cans of stripper, several trips to home depot, numerous cans of paint and a probably annoying number of phone calls to my Dad, I finally finished! I learned a lot in the process, including the fact that I do not want a second career in furniture revitalization, but mainly I discovered that with a little time and research I’m capable of making beautiful things. I hope it inspires you all to bite off more than you can chew on your next project!
