$40 to $400! Painting MCM Laminate Dresser - Easy Furniture Flip Tutorial!

As for steps… Here’s what I did:
+ got this dresser for $40 off of facebook marketplace
+ took off peeling veneer
+ scuff sanded the body (laminate) with 100 grit, the drawers with 180 grit!
+ used epoxy putty to remold the corners
+ applied 2 coats of primer
+ applied 3 coats of a dark navy paint (lightly sanded with 220 grit in between coats)
+ applied furniture finish oil to the drawers which were walnut veneer
+ sealed the body with waterbased polyurethane (not pictured)
Since this dresser had some water damage to the corners, was made of laminate & didn’t contain a makers mark… I will only be charging around $400 once I list this dresser! I get a lot of questions about how I determine pricing & hopefully that will help answer a few questions :) But if you have any more… drop them below! ✨✨👇🏼👇🏼

I never thought I would find furniture attractive but damn, that’s a sexy dresser.

ooo that is so pretty wow!!! i love that you kept some of the wood look instead of just painting over the entire thing like a lot of people do, and the walnut and blue match so well!!

[doc-savage]

Oooo I love the combo of natural wood and that dark blue. It looks amazing!!

[JohnKYC]

The colors are on point - nostalgic, classy and modern. Very well done!

[chimera]

I love that you are showing people that reviving old furniture is well worth the time and effort. They have so much character.

Love the touch of vases & artwork all from the same vintage as the buffet.

I have this dresser from when I was a kid, it's still in my bedroom. I think my mom bought it back in 1970 used from a yard sale.

[missnancylee]

Wow, it turned-out really pretty.
I normally don't like painted woodwork, but this so fab.

I love your furniture. I wish I had the skills to do this. BEAUTIFUL ❤

You have a really good eye for making MCM into pieces that work in "contemporary" decor.

[imareeramsey]

I feel like a proud family member when i see y’all women flip furniture and it looks amazing.

[WickedChicken]

I too would count petting the donkeys as an added bonus.

[suzannahaynie]

I have this dresser and the matching chest of drawers. It was my bedroom set growing up.

[cathithomas]

[donatj]

Oh dang that turned out absolutely beautiful. Your videos make me think I should try my hand at fixing some of my stuff that my cats have chewed on.

[debgaretson]

One of the best refinishing jobs. MAD SKILLS❤

[fnosgpw]

You’re doing gods work. Absolutely stunning work. Impressive

[marinemom]

Nice job considering I’m usually against painting these sorts of pieces…sometimes you can’t avoid it though! Looks great 😊This looks like a Dixie Brand dresser that my Grandparents had here in Florida when I was a very young child in the early 70’s. They’d had the set since the mid 50’s in the spare room…what I wouldn’t give to have most of the furniture they had then…all but a handful of pieces in that 4 bedroom 2 bath house were MCM, the others were antiques.

Very pretty! I have a dresser exactly like this but with just 2 sections!
