Adult pink, anyone? This is a great soft pink with a LRV of 46, so a beautiful mid tone. šŸ˜

I had to strip off two layers of paint before I could reprime and paint. That second yellow layer was so gooey. After a few repairs and freshening up the hardware, I was ready to put it all back together.

I think they turned out amazing and my client loved them. Win-win! 🤩

Are you a pink fan?

Can you believe this one? This antique secretary had definitely seen better days. The finish was failing, the middle door wasn’t even attached. It was a mess, but all I could see was a diamond in the rough. After lots of cleaning and some repairs, I primed and painted out the body in Midnight Blue. I stripped the drawers and doors and applied oil. The doors weren’t perfect, so I decided to finish the edges with a gold band. For a final touch, I lined the interiors and drawers with wallpaper. What do you think?

Error is something we never want. It’s tough to be wrong. It’s tough to fail. Especially in the era of social media where everything seems so perfect.

Well, I’m not perfect. 🄓

If you’ve been around a bit, you know I share my wins and my fails. The fails are embarrassing to share, but I share with the hope that you can avoid some of my mistakes.

Messing up veneer twice on the same dresser? Yep, that was me. 🫣

Here’s what I learned:

1ļøāƒ£ Leave a 1ā€ clearance all the way around. I thought I’d outsmart it by lining up one edge to save on trimming—but the sheet wasn’t square, and it ended up 1/4ā€ off. I had to pull it up…and it pulled up some veneer underneath. Fail #1. 😩
2ļøāƒ£ Seal your substrate. My second try didn’t stick on the last quarter of the sheet. I’d used Bondo + glazing putty, and turns out—that’s a no-go unless you seal it first with sanding sealer, shellac, or poly. Now I know!

3ļøāƒ£ Use a rounded wood block—not a J roller. This tip came straight from the veneer company. It gives more even pressure and helps everything adhere better.

4ļøāƒ£ Skip the water-based stain. Use solvent-based instead. Water can interfere with the adhesion — definitely not what you want after all that effort. 😬

Got any veneer wisdom you swear by? I’m still learning, and I know I’m not the only one! šŸ‘‡

I love secrets. The trim piece is actually a drawer! I thought something was wrong with the drawer, but after I took the drawer out and found a spring in the back I realized it was something else. So it’s designed with a wood board glued under the drawer. When you push the drawer in, it engages with the spring in the back and the wood board pops behind the drawer frame and holds the drawer shut.

It’s actually a clever design. It was the felted silverware drawer. I had to remove the felt because it was gross, but I added this lovely liner and now it can still hold valuables or remote controllers. šŸ˜…šŸ˜¬šŸ™ŒšŸ¼

This project was a doozy. After stripping and scraping, I still had a full shadow of the old paint pattern. Sanding, bleaching, and lots of acetone finally got me back to raw wood… but that walnut needed life again.
Enter . I headed to and grabbed their Pre-Stain Conditioner, stain, and topcoat.
After conditioning the wood, I used Minwax Oil-Based stain in Early American on the drawers and sides and—WOW. Instant glow-up. 🤩
To finish it off, I sealed everything with their Fast-Drying Polyurethane in Warm Ultra Flat, and it is chef’s kiss. 😘
Can you believe this is the same dresser?!
