Bedside drawers restoration

I bought my daughter, Amber, a turntable for Christmas (lucky I kept so much of my old vinyl ehhh...) but she couldn't find the right sized table for it for her bedroom.

 

Op shopping she went and... perfect but pretty sad.

 

Hit our locals Bunnings for supplies, couple of hours in a garage yesterday afternoon and... still a couple things to touch-up but her first ever resto has come up pretty darn well!

Re: Furniture resto :)

What a lovely transformation, @Adam_W! It's sensational to hear that Amber has completed her first furniture restoration; I'm sure there'll be many more to come. I love the colour choice and the crystal knob.

 

Thanks for sharing.

Re: Furniture resto :)

Very nice @Adam_W !

Very retro! May I ask what brand of turntable you have there?

Re: Furniture resto :)

@Adam_WMay I ask, how did you get the gold knob detail and the feet to look so fresh?

Re: Furniture resto :)

Hey @BoeingFan , the gold details we used a stiff brush and scrubbed clean with turps before painting with gold spray paint. Finish was fantastic!
The feet I assumed were just plated but turned out they were bronze or something similar. Cleaned the worst of the muck off with painters steel-wool and a little turps and then polished with Brasso. Came up looking mirror finish new!

Re: Furniture resto :)

Thank you so much. As I mentioned, I have cupboards, dressing table, and a tall boy in this same furniture.

Cheers,

Jason
