Old Painted Oak Dresser Makeover

Dresser Before Stripping
Dresser After Stripping
Every once in a while we come across a stunning piece of furniture in a corner of a basement at an estate sale, hiding its beauty to the world underneath a thick layer of dust and in this case, paint. Likely this dresser was painted well over fifty years ago and hadn't been touched since. We spotted it and being it was the last day of the estate sale, bought it for an astonishing price of $7.50. We were thrilled as we could see the great "bones" of this elegant beauty buried somewhere beneath all that paint, which surely was charming at the time, but had long lost its appeal.
