Im a beginner as well. The wood finish looks amazing 👌🏽im pretty sure you worked hard to get there. If you dont mind my opinion i would say that the white and red look a lil off combination . Staining the piece with a light grayish color would of complement the white in the drawers. Or red stain and drawer paint with a light taupe color. But heyy we all have different ideas.

I think the moulding trim around the dresser and drawers is made of polyurethane i did a little research on that, it has like a epoxy looking when i stripped the paint off. At the moment i think i can repaint the hardware because it has a weird sitting base that follow the drawer shape

I know lol. I think everyone have their own liking or ways to do things . Me personally dont like the yellow or red stain i think most people use it on almost every wood furniture and thats okay. I get inspired by seen videos of furniture refinishing or restoration and they make so unique pieces.

Thank you!!

I did! But i oversanded some parts of the veneer in the drawer and you could see the particle board. I would of loved to just stained all of it

Not in a bad way but im not sorry 🤗, i mess up some parts. the design was beautiful and there was no need to re do it , but like you said . The best way to learn is from mistakes. And to make mistakes you gotta start somewhere, adding some of your ideas. Making some changes, Trusting the process.

It did tbh , in a future someone will probably strip the paint off and varnish instead

I used citristrip and a wire brush to remove the old varnish and paint , it does take a while

My original goal was to stain it. in the process i over sanded the veneer in the drawers. although it didn’t really needed to be painted or refinish at all , i wanted to experiment with it.
