Dumpster Dresser- AMAZING RESTORATION of a trashed mid century dresser

I couldn't believe my eyes when I got a message about a discarded mid century style dresser literally sitting roadside for garbage collection that day. While not every piece thrown out is worthy of or able to be salvaged, I decided to drive a half hour each way to go check this one out. Stinky, dirty, legless.

Four days of hot, sweaty work (summers in the valley of Nova Scotia are crazy humid and hot) later, I can't even believe it's the same piece. I'm thinking we are going to keep this one for ourselves to use in our living room.

I DID however discover a manufacturers error AT THE VERY END of not only the work, but editing this very video. I was crushed to realize they had put two handles on the wrong drawers, covered the mistake with toner, and because I simply took each handle off during the refinishing process and numbered them to go back on the same drawers, I didn't catch the error until it was pretty much too late. My friends Jim & Cindy from @FurnitureWarriors reminded me that mint error coins are often worth more. Maybe it's the same with furniture?? Hahaha! One can only hope!
