Do you have quality furniture, but you don’t like the wood tone?

You can change it with the magic of gel stain!

Here are the steps:
1. Clean your piece with a degreaser.

2. Lightly scuff sand with 150 or 180 grit sandpaper. I like to start with 180.

3. Clean with a 50/50 mixture of denatured alcohol and water. This gets off an additional contaminants and give you a good surface to apply the stain.

4. Choose a gel stain color of your choice. I used two on this project. Hickory by and Java by .

5. Apply the gel stain against the grain and then wipe off the excess with the grain using a lint free cloth or blue shop rag.

6. You can do two coats. In my case, I used a darker color on my second coat.

7. Seal using your favorite sealer. Since gel stain is oil based, I used an oil based sealer by Minwax in a flat sheen . (You can wait 72 hours and then apply a water based sealer).

8. On my first coat, I mixed in a little Dark Walnut oil based stain to give it a little darker tone and even out the wood tones.

9. The next two coats were clear topcoat.

Any questions?

Veneer repair is a skill I’ve been honing over the past year, and with wood finishes trending, it’s definitely one worth mastering! 🌿🔨 Here’s my go-to process for seamless repairs:

🔹 Fill missing areas with wood epoxy & sand smooth.
🔹 Blend using a wax kit or Mohawk fill stick.
🔹 Stain with gel stain or regular stain. (I was just toning this piece so I used gel stain).
🔹 Layer & Paint using Mohawk Blendal Sticks, sealing with EZ Vinyl Sealer between layers to recreate the wood grain.
🔹 Final Touch-ups with spray toner, gel stain, or additional layers as needed.
🔹 Seal your repair for a lasting finish!

This piece sold for $1200 with these repairs and a toning with gel stain and then resealing.

MCM painted dresser to sleek transformation

01/03/2026

A little over three years ago, I painted a table I wasn’t using and it sold quickly on Facebook Marketplace. I had just turned 50. My daughter, my youngest, had started high school. We did a hybrid homeschool program so I knew my time as a homeschool mom was coming to a close in a few years.

With that thought in the back of my mind, I started finding more pieces to refinish. Things kinda snowballed and a few months later I realized it was time to file for an LLC.

In March 2022, Ivy Lane Interiors was born. I slowly honed my skills with each piece I found. This has always been a ‘learn with me’ account. 😬 I share my successes and failures, but I hope that can help someone else.

In early 2023, I decided to give YouTube a try. As of today, I have over 39,000 subscribers and 6,000,000 views. What?! 🤯

You are the director, creator, and writer of your story. As a woman of faith, I also believe that God has plans for us that are for good and not evil to give us hope and a future.

He has plans for us, but we still have to do something to walk out those plans.

I am thankful for this community, this job, and my family who supports me.

Thank you! 🫶

Comment ‘scraper’ for an affiliate link to products and my automation tool will send it.

I love using my Bahco carbide scraper! I use it remove a finish quickly and I also use it in conjunction with a stripper as well.

Keeping the blade sharp helps you work more efficiently.
