I came across this stunning burlwood secretary locally and knew it had so much potential! I decided to customize it for myself, giving it a fresh new look while keeping its vintage charm. For two years, it served as my go-to storage for office supplies, but once I built out my office upstairs, I realized it no longer needed it. Instead of letting it sit unused, I decided to pass it on! I listed it locally and on Etsy, and it found the perfect new home with a lovely local buyer. ✨Want to know exactly how I transformed it? Comment ‘link’ for a full supply list!Here’s what I did:✔️ Stripped the doors and drawers✔️ Primed the body with Bin Shellac by @zinsser ✔️ Painted with @fusionmineralpaint ✔️ Oiled the wood with @osmo_usa ✔️ Lined the interior with gorgeous paper from @riflepaperco Letting go of pieces like this is always bittersweet, but I love knowing it’s being enjoyed by someone who appreciates it just as much as I did!

I’m a sucker for a previously piece because there is this element of surprise of what you might find underneath the old paint. Well, this one revealed a laminate top. Boo! Oh well, I will just pivot and paint the top and frame. The sides and drawers had gorgeous wood.Here are my steps:Stripped with @greenez_ Primed with Bin Shellac primer by @zinsser Painted with my Earlex 5700 by @wagnerspraytech in the color Tricorn Black Paint was Command paint by Oiled the sides and drawers with Polyx oil by @osmo_usa #madewithosmo #osmooil #osmopolyx #osmopolyxoil #mcmdresser #painteddresser
Pre-painted pieces are a gamble, but I love the surprise of ‘maybe’ finding something special under that paint. #furnituremakeover

I’ve tried a basic leg build with straight cuts, but I saw @flippedbyabby’s tutorial on an angled base and thought I’d give it a try!These types of dressers are great to try this technique on. I used 2x2 for the legs and 1x3 for the apron. Here are my steps:1. I’m starting with the legs. I cut a 10 degree angle.2. I want a slight taper on the inside edge, so I just eyeball an angle and draw a line on my miter saw. 3. I flipped the leg upside down to cut the inside taper. The miter saw was at 0 degrees for this cut and I just lined up my legs with the line I drew and made the cut. 4. Then I determined the height of the legs and cut it at 1 degrees too. 5. For the other leg you use the same procedure. 6. For the apron, I determined my length and cut each end to 10 degrees. You can either move your miter saw for the opposite side or flip your piece of wood over. Angles can be tricky. 😅 #woodworking #furnitureflip #upcycling
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 using gel stain and then resealing.

This cutie got a full body makeover. 😅Seriously though, top to bottom! Here are my steps:1. Stripped the paint with @greenez_ followed by my carbide scraper, acetone and #00 steel wool.2. Sanded through the grits. I start with 80 on any areas with remaining finish and then move on to 120 and 180.3. I used @generalfinishes hard wax oil for the first time. I mixed 10:1 clear to brown. It was a lovely tone. 4. The original top was laminate, so added wood veneer. After two attempts 🥴 I finally got it. Cool temps are not my friend. 😯What do you think?
