Love the finish you achieved.

So beautiful and timeless. The guys I bought it from did a two tone finish with the pecan legs finished lighter than the walnut top and it looks amazing in my opinion. And we even bought the matching buffet! Yours looks great too, glad to see there are still a few of these wonderful sets around being loved.
Cheers,
Greg

Out of curiosity is the color on your living room walls now (in the house tour link) still that same Dragonfly color?

I’ve been putting off the restoration process for fear of ruining these pieces. Thanks for posting your process!

Hey Nicki, Yep the table is part of the projection line. I love the bedroom set too, good find!

It actually looks like it has the same design features and lines as the “projection” line by drexel. I came across an entire drexel projection bedroom set for $75. Of course I snagged it and drove the 2 hours to pick it up! So worth it, beautifully mid century modern! I believe this line is made of pecan wood with walnut veneer? I’m starting my research on how best to refinish all of the pieces I was blessed with for $75. Just doesn’t get any better than that!

Hey Caroline. I would imagine that you should have no problem with that veneer as long as it’s wood veneer and not laminate. I’m guessing it would be wood since it’s on the sides. I bet coconut oil would look good, but would need to be reapplied every few months, just like mineral, teak or danish oil. If poly can used be with coconut oil you could finish it with that too. Good luck!

Yeah totally real. I don’t know if you’re local but I got these beauties over at Spruce (48th and Chicago). They are one of my favorites too, that and peonies, and tulips, and…

Thanks Natalia, When I got all the supplies together it wasn’t too hard at all. The worst part was 72 hours between the teak oil and the poly, I just wanted to see the finished product!

Thanks Anna! We are lucky. I was anti unpainted woodwork when we were house hunting, but I made an exception for this quarter sawn stuff. It’s alright ;)

I love Craigslist so much. I’ve been looking for a classic set like this for years. I have vintage mid-century dressers that have veneer siding and I’ve been terrified to refinish them until now, thanks to this tutorial. I also have an awesome mid-century desk I found on a tree lawn that I’m in the process of sanding, but I had no idea what to do next. I was going to use coconut oil! Ha. I am pretty sure your method is the right way to do things, rather than slapping coconut oil on furniture and calling it a day. I’m so excited now! Thank you!

Looks awesome, I definitely need to try this. Are your ranunculus real?? So gorg, my favorite flower as of late.

Hey Beks, Ha, you noticed. I got a haircut yesterday so I figured maybe I was looking okay enough to take a pic – my hair is usually always tangled and I hide it in a bun.

Good luck on your project this weekend!
