Dark & Dingy to Bright & Modern - Beautiful Dresser Makeover
Jul 11, 2026
This is like night and day! This pair of mid-century-esque dressers underwent an insane makeover!
From dated, dark, and dingy to bright, airy, soft, and modern, these pieces have come a long way. I had to strip layers of faux woodgrain finish to expose the real wood veneer underneath. I chose a white wax to keep the exposed woodgrain light, and opted to paint the rest in one of Fusion Mineral Paint's newest colours, Eucalyptus.
I had to steam out a couple of dents that I wouldn't have been able to sand through without risking burning through the veneer; it's a great trick I've done in a couple other videos as well.
