While redecorating one of the bedrooms this winter, I sorted and cleaned out the dresser drawers. Then before the dresser returned to the room, I used that wonderful Wagner 915 steam cleaner and took care of any remaining bird seed, stuff, and grunge. 🙂 Love that machine!!
I used Reynolds refinisher with 0000 and 00 steel wool on the dresser and then their furniture polish afterwards. P fixed a few drawers that were coming apart. The construction is poor and the materials are poor quality but he put it all back to better usable condition.
Before —
The dresser was P’s grandmother’s and we claimed it when she was moved to a nursing home around 1990. I hoped there would one day be another wee one in this bedroom and wanted an old dresser for dresser & changing table as I had done for Miss K. The dresser isn’t fine craftmanship and neither is P or JP attached to it. I could have gotten rid of it. But there is still something in me that wants to keep the family piece of furniture.
After —
Not new or perfect but smooth & shiny and clean! It took me about 2 hours of strong elbow grease but I’m pleased with the improvement!!
and sew on...
