Refinish old furniture in modern style

sideat11Curbly Video Podcast: Give Old, Shabby Furniture a Fresh, Modern Facelift.

My three-year-old niece just moved from the nursery to her first “big girl room,” and the only thing holding back her new space’s style is this worn dresser from the 1960’s. It’s in good shape, but the finish is tired, and there are several broken pieces that are simply unacceptable for a toddler’s room. So, as a birthday gift, I wanted to turn this tattered piece into a sparkling pop bureau that suits her personality perfectly.

This post links to a video tutorial, but also contains instructions you can print off for when you’re working. If you’ve ever been afraid of refinishing old furniture, this is a great project to start with.
