I removed every layer of paint from this Broyhill Saga Dresser

My most iconic Facebook Marketplace find and my longest refinishing process in years. Spoiler alert: yes, I restored this classic Broyhill Saga back to its original wood finish. What started as a teal-painted dresser turned into weeks of stripping, sanding, problem-solving, and questioning my life choices. 😅 But some pieces are worth the effort. Follow along as I uncover the original beauty hidden beneath layers of paint and bring this mid-century classic back to life. If you enjoy honest furniture makeovers, real problem-solving, and sustainable refinishing, you’re in the right place. I am overloaded with work, so I haven't been able to post bi-weekly, but bear with me; I will be back shortly. — follow along if you enjoy seeing how these pieces come back to life. Have questions? Drop them in the comments; I’m happy to help.
