This poor Bassett Mayan dresser had seen better days. Missing a drawer, no cabinet doors, and painted in a way that would make any wood lover weep—this one needed serious help. In this video, I walk you through how I tackled every issue, from replacing the doors to recreating those iconic carved pulls by hand, and restoring the beautiful wood hiding underneath it all. If you’ve ever wondered whether a “ruined” piece can be saved… spoiler alert: yes, but not without some serious work.
Let’s bring this beauty back to life!
