Bringing New Life To An Old Oak Chest: Restoration Project Of Vintage Furniture

In this episode I'll be restoring a solid oak set of drawers that I picked for free from FB Marketplace. I think that originally it had a mirror or dresser on it as there are five locating holes on the top surface.

    People who say you ruined this have clearly no understanding of furniture. This is a solid oak piece and not an antique yet, and all you did was clean off the old tired and damaged dark wood stain to give it a refreshed and natural finish that also nurtured the wood. Well done 👍🏼 it must be so tiring to read negative comments when all you want to do is show people how it’s done.

    Thank you! Dark varnish is definitely out of fashion and I see no reason to keep it for tradition's sake (except for genuinely valuable antiques)!

    Saying any kind of wood has gone out of style seems strange to me - also dark stain, light stain or in between, it’s all just a matter of taste I know plenty of people who are getting darker stains on their wood right now, or lighter, even bleached 🤷🏻‍♀️ Fashion is fleeting, wood is forever 😄 Anyway that dresser looks gorgeous, great job! 👍🏻

    Is that a dollhouse you have in your shop? If so do you make them and is it for sale?

  • @RhooseRestorations

    @patriciagraves752 Yes, it's a dolls house from the 1930s, Art Deco style inside. I got it from a local auction and am in process of renovating it. It's home made and does not open at the front like a traditional dolls house. Maybe I'll do a video on it. I don't make them but I may sell it once it's finished! Keep an eye out for some updates!!
