Goodbye Orange! Watch Me Transform These Nightstands with Gel Stain

These beautiful vintage nightstands had great bones but the original finish was a little too orange for my buyers. In this video, I’m showing you how I used Kona gel stain to deepen the color, tone down the orange, and give these pieces a rich, updated finish—all without fully stripping the original stain!

✨ What You'll See in This Video:
• Step-by-step process for using gel stain over an existing finish
• Tips for surface prep and application
• My go-to products for an easy furniture update
• The final styled look!

This is a great way to give dated furniture a modern, high-end look without a full refinish. Let me know in the comments what you think of the transformation!
