Nearing the finish line with this dresser magnetos

Nearing the finish line with this dresser magnetosphere furniture flip.We picked up these 2 piece drawer pulls from our local @habitatforhumanity restore, $4 for 6 pulls! Trying to keep the investment in this rehab flip to a minimum. We're not sure if they're the proper style for the era of this dresser, but they look nice. What do you think?

Had to make a few minor repairs to this dresser marketplace flip that we're working on. These little pieces of scrap wood were glued and tacked into the corners of the dresser body to reduce racking or wobbling from side to side. They really improved the stability and integrity of this antique piece of furniture.

We did a scuff sand to the body and legs of this dresser and applied a coat of @kilzbrand primer. The primer cost doesn't look pretty, but it should help the chalk paint bond to the antique stain and seal that was on the dresser.

Sanding this dresser top down to natural wood was a big job and took at least an hour. But cutting through this dark cherry color and into the natural oak color was do worth it!

We picked up this little dresser for our next furniture flip project. It was purchased from Facebook marketplace for $40. We think it's about 100 years old based on similar styles and posts found on line. It's a bit more rough than this picture indicates, it'll need some minor repairs before a full face lift. We're planning to paint the body, stain the top, make it fully functional and add some different hardware

First post in a long while. We refinished the top

First post in a long while. We refinished the top of this really cool @lane_furniture side table that's nearly 60 years old. Part of Lane's rhythm collection of the 1960's.

We think the top is walnut so we used Watco Danish oil finish and several coats of @minwaxusa clear semi gloss polyurethane mixed 50/50 jascoproducts mineral spirits.

It turned out great, we couldn't be any happier with the result!
