Reviving a Curbside Dresser with Stain & Paint – Colonial Style Reimagined!

In this video, I’m giving a curbside colonial dresser a fresh start! Found during my town’s bulk trash pick-up, this piece needed a lot of love, and I’m excited to show you how I brought it back to life. I’ll walk you through each step—from cleaning and sanding to refinishing the solid maple top with a deep, dark walnut stain and painting the body a soft, creamy beige for a timeless look. This trash-to-treasure project is packed with tips on upcycling, refinishing, and giving furniture new life!
