    Impecable taste! Anyone could tear a piece down, it’s the arrangement; the pallet of stains, colors and textures of paint; the reassembly; transformation of the piece of furniture into works of art. It’s an other possibility of what that piece could have looked like, without mastication of the structures lines; design. You are an artist. Thank you as well, for sharing your thought process; your passion, creating your art. 🙏

    I once bought a dresser from a lady and got it home and it reeked of smoke. Took me a year to get the smoke smell out but I finally did. Tried some sort of chemical spray but it didn't really work. Vinegar and sunshine finally did the trick. Your piece turned out great, it looked so bad before! You definitely saved it from the trash.

    I’ve found that cleaning with bleach then cleaning with ammonia (in a very airy area) almost always gets rid of the cigarette smell. When the smell is gone I recondition the inside of the drawers with a nicely scented wax. Then I usually seal the inside of the case. Nice job on this set of drawers.

    • @TranscendFurnitureGallery
      @TranscendFurnitureGallery  3 года назад +4

      They can be tricky. Gel stains go better over the fillers than penetrating stains do, and anytime you can use sawdust from the same piece to mix with a bit of wood glue to make your own filler, you’ll get a slightly better result than a factory made filler. But another little trick is to use an artist paint brush to apply a small amount of sealer over just the filled area before staining. Often that helps get a more even stain job. :-)

This generic style dresser was everywhere in the 80s, usually minus any legs. You have truly turned this from how you found it--trashed--to a beautiful piece. Has to be one of my favorite restorations of yours, though it's hard to pick favorites as they are all stunning. Well done!
