Default Dresser Top

I received this dresser from a Jumbletowner, thank you.

The dresser-top was a dark wood and I discovered woodworm, which I treated with Neem Oil. I then used paint stripper to remove the varnish that was on the dresser. It took four days for me to finish the varnish removal. I then sanded and wiped the unit over with white spirits. I used wax on the wood to enhance and preserve the wood.

The plates with the blue rim and the one in the centre on the shelf below were received from jumbletown as was the glass bell, all other items were bought in charity stores or received as gifts.

I have beautiful lace also received from 2 wonderful jumbletowners which I will add to the dresser top in the coming days and take another photo and post it.

The brown unit underneath was also received from jumbletown. The dresser is only temporarily sitting on it until we decide where it will look best.

Thank you to everyone who made this beautiful addition to my home possible.
