Vintage Dresser Turned Dining Room Buffet

When my brother asked me to help him redo a family heirloom dresser my first response was "I am not painting it!!!!" ....luckily I was able to get him on board with a charcoal stain makeover instead.
We redid the dresser... along with a nightstand, a bureau, a mirror, and two bookcases... over the course of the weekend. Note my great-grandmother's handwriting on the back- she purchased this piece for my Papa in November 1943!!
The dresser was in great shape but was super orange and showed signs of many years of love.
In the places where we didn't sand as cleanly, the old color showed through and gave the piece a really cool washed out/rustic effect.
Now the piece sits in my brother's dining room and has a whole new life!
