This 1940’s buffet was a family heirloom and had been well loved for many, many years. It was ready for a makeover. Be sure to watch until the end for the before. Now she is all ready to be loved once more and ready for a new home. I received so many negative comments on this one. People were so angry that I was touching the bright red, failing finish with deep gouges and scratches… Glad I stuck with the plan. I’m happy with how it turned out and that I was able to save as much of the wood as I

1940’s Buffet that was outside when I picked it up. Lots of sanding and cleaning and a multitude of repairs. So many veneer repairs that I had to paint the body, but I was able to save the top and drawers. Original hardware was cleaned with the hardware soup process. Can you believe I didn’t paint that gold?!This one was a definite save. It was headed to the landfill and now has a new chance to be enjoyed for many years to come. #cherrywood #1940s #buffetmakeover #furniturerefinishing #diy #refi
