I’m giving this severely outdated chest a stunning, contemporary makeover! Watch as I take this thrifted 60s/70s Bassett chest from clunky and over-embellished to sleek and modern, perfect for resale. I’ll be walking you through the entire process—from removing old hardware, sanding, and cutting plastic trim to applying a new coat of Fusion Mineral Paint and finishing with a professional-quality topcoat.
This project is perfect for anyone looking to learn how to flip furniture for a profit or simply update an old piece for their home. Stick around to see how this chest goes from outdated to a piece ready to sell!
