MID-CENTURY DRESSER MAKEOVER

Michelle found this mid-century dresser at a local thrift store in need of a new finish and a little repair but over all it was in great shape for the year.
One drawer had a missing corner but it's nothing a little Bondo won't fix. Always use a block sander to keep things straight.
Painters tape keeps the drawer guides free of paint.
Sanded drawer faces back to bare wood to remove all dents & dings.
Hazel color looks like it belongs on this piece.
I pulled the mirror off it's base and found that the mirror was plated in the summer of 1955 which I believe is the year of the dresser also, it sure looks 1955.
The next photos are the finished product.
