DIY furniture flip process video from @refurbishedish

The creator documents the complete restoration of a mid-century modern dresser. She begins by showing the piece covered in distressed white paint, removes the hardware, applies paint stripper, and scrapes away the old finish to reveal the wood underneath. She then fills the old hardware holes, sands the entire piece, applies a new finish with a sprayer, touches up imperfections, and applies a final topcoat, revealing a beautifully restored walnut dresser which she then stages in a room.
