Refinishing my dressing table - turned out to be quite a project as the sides needed to be recovered and a

drawer built

The old veneer on the sides was warped and peeling up from the bottom, so I replaced it with pieces of 1/8 inch thick birch, here it is with two coats of red mahogany stain and the first coat of sealer I built a middle drawer and had to put in runners and a stop at the top of the back, the other piece across the back appears to be a bit crooked but that is part of the original piece and I think has to do with camera angle since it looks okay in person I also got rid of the old mirror and got a beveled edge arched mirror, the two little cabinets are doll furniture that I bought stained and sealed to match the dresser, the bracelet holders on the wall were cheap unfinished coat racks that I bought and also stained and sealed to match this is the top of the dressing table, the grain of the wood is so beautiful in it's new stain and sealer one of the cupboards I fitted with shelves to hold my little boxes of odd bits of jewelry and also hooks on the doors for earrings the other is outfitted with hooks for earrings and necklaces this is the middle drawer drying after it's second coat of stain and the finished product
