I have been ogling Mid Century dressers for quite some time. I wanted one to replace our small TV Console so that Elise couldn’t pull the TV off. I also loved the design!
So the search for a dresser began. I always had my eyes open at garage and estate sales. Most of the dressers that I loved were never for sale or already sold. So one day we decided to go to the Denver Flea Market and low and behold we found a Dixie dresser just the right size and style!

The process of turning the dresser into something that would match our current style was tedious. We decided to re-stain the wood instead of painting it. This probably the first and last time I will re-stain anything!
First we picked up our supplies. Here is what we needed:
First, we sanded, sanded, and sanded some more. This was the most tedious part of the project. We tried doing this by hand at first but then brought out the big guns (Electric Sander) because we were fatiguing fast!
After the old stain was completely sanded off we put Minwax pre-stain wood conditioner on. This just helps the wood accept stain easier.
Project done!
Enjoyed the project?
