To Refinish...or Dump





This dresser has sat out in a shed on Rus's parent's property for years. Hence the stink of mouse droppings. I think it has beautiful lines and I love the design on the door. All the drawer bottoms need to be replaced, the top needs new veneer (I just removed the old crumbling veneer this morning), and of course everything should be sanded down and refinished. But the joints are still very sturdy (despite the fact that it's been holding tools for years), and the wood on the drawers is in very good shape. I do have all the drawers, I just didn't replace all of them for the picture. Apart from what I just told you, I really have no idea how to go about refinishing this. Any tips?

Refinish! I bet you could find tutorials online.

I guess nobody had any tips for this...and neither do I. In fact, if I was going to ask someone about refinishing a dresser, it would be you! Looks like a fun project though - and something you're totally capable of :)
