I had this deco dresser sitting in my garage without it’s partner mirror.
It was missing handles and lots of peeling veneer.
Why oh why did they ever used veneer escapes me. More often than not the wood underneath is every bit as nice… with a little sanding of course. Veneer is a bugger to repair!
The back was warped so it had to be replaced. The original mirror sat in a recessed part on the top but the mirror that I chose to use with it had to sit on the top so I had to use a piece of wood to fill in the recess.
I tried Rustoleum’s new “chalky” paint on this. Love the color!
New pulls and it’s good to go!
P.S. The color is true in the close up not this photo.

That is a great pink hue, the only thing that really bothers me about veneer, is the fact that it always need repair, and then paint because you really can't stain it when you use a filler, and often the line work is so pretty, it bums me out to cover it up. Great save the piece turned out beautiful!
