Hello friends! I’m very excited to show you my latest furniture flip, which was was more than a flip- This dresser turned into a full restoration! In this post, I will explain how to restore an antique dresser + remove peeling veneer.

Let’s start at the beginning
Per usual, I find most of my furniture makeovers on Facebook Marketplace. This one was advertised with 2 other dressers for $120. I got him down to $100 for all 3. What a deal right?!? Wellllll, to be honest we probably should have left them there, but hey, we borrowed a truck for these, I’m taking them home.

This is beautiful! I’d love to restore something one day. Just so time consuming.
Thank you, yes its definitely time consuming, but its worth it!
That looks incredible. Thank you for this! We have been wanting to accumulate more antique pieces and will definitely reference this when it comes time to do a restoration.
I’m glad to hear that! Its such a gratifying processs.
Great tutorial! I have an antique radio with some peeling veneer – now I know what to do!
oh good! yes, its definitely not as hard as it seems! good luck!
You did a beautiful job! We inherited some bedroom furniture from my grandparents when our first daughter was born. I love the old style but they’re gonna need some TLC soon. Thank you for sharing your method!
It turned out absolutely gorgeous and I can’t help but see the details as eyes and a smiley face!
