This solid oak, seven drawer dresser came to me from an unlikely source - my wife's ex-husband. So no, all the ex's do not live in Texas. But hey, it was free so why not. It was in pretty good shape and all scratches and small dings could be sanded out. So I decided to do a tan wash. So follow along and let's see how this turned out

    Thanks for answering. Since so many people learn how to refinish from watching videos like yours, just be sure to at least say all the important steps, even if they are not shown. Inexperienced people need extra info, so better not to assume they know anything about what you are doing. ; ) Apparently there is a class action suit against, DB. Nothing to me, except that I do not buy from stores or companies that take advantage of anyone or who push ideas I do not believe in, if possible,

    I did the exact same thing when I refinished my dresser. Never even thought that the pulls would be different sizes!πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

    I'm happy to be one of your first subscribers! It's great to see new entries from someone in my generation, too. I feel for your wife though to not get to keep the piece, I would want to keep it also lol. I had to chuckle about the 2.5 inch pulls, having torn my hair out trying to find something workable for my projects in that size also. I think you've done beautiful work here and your video is very nicely done. You have a particularly pleasant speaking voice (this matters more than many people seem to know) and did a great job explaining and showing lots of good details (for instance, revamping that base, sanding with a paper bag or reusing takeout containers). The corny song in the beginning was a fun touch, too. If you are open to a few well intentioned suggestions please let me know :)

    New subscriber here. I love the transformation on this! Those paint wash techniques work really well and look great! :)

    Sir, you sprayed the finish coats with drawers still in---so after all your nice work--that is likely to be evident when drawers are opened. Really enjoyed the video otherwise. Oh, and many people who are boycotting DB paints may not like that you use that product.
