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

Thank you so much for your kind comment. Glad you liked it! ☺️
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.!

It turned out really well, even if it wasn't your original vision. The adjustable hardware was an excellent choice. I have heard the bolt cutters work well on shortening the screws, but that tool looks more manageable.

@@heidisettles5537 Thanks! Those adjustable pulls have save me again and again, and yes, that screw cutter makes it super easy to cut screws.
I love the color! My daughter has a dresser very similar that is blond. I might talk her into letting me redo it like this! Thx!

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!
You did a wonderful job, but I guess I’m old school. The grain doesn’t show as much and I think it had a beautiful grain.

Oh I agree with you, that’s the part I was disappointed with. But, unfortunately I had to apply a round of stain I wasn’t planning to apply.
Looks great…a griege if you will…very popular and neutral. Should sell fast especially since you updated it with those modern drawer pulls.

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.
