    Beautiful! Modern! Fresh! Elegant! The wood grain on this dresser is gorgeous! I like the bleached look, your original idea. It doesn't look too grey but I would have preferred a bit more beige wash. The handles you chose are amazing! Thanks so much for sharing

    Although it’s not the color you imagined, that gray is very popular and I think it’s gonna sell an appeal to a lot of people. We’re currently househunting and so many homes have gone to the Gray tones. Congratulations, great job and you overcame some big obstacles.!

    The marks on top are both water marks, not burn mark, you can't bleach a burn marks. The lighter mark is water in the finish, the dark mark is water that went through the finish into the wood 😊 It turned out gorgeous 😍

    It definitely looked burnt “with a scratched up looked” around the ring mark. But, I could be wrong. And yes, I wasn’t expecting the bleach to completely remove it, as the marks from a burn are not stain, but the bleach helped enough so I didn’t need to use heat to get rid of them. Thank you!

    The end result is really pretty! 😍 I've had the same problem with that shellac in the can. It's because it has wax in it. The spray shellac doesn't have wax. There's a shellac sanding sealer in a red can that has been dewaxed, but it can be hard to find. I've only found it on Amazon. Same brand.
