"This is a Mason Bee house. They don't make honey so there's no way anyone will get a "fresh honey comb" from them! They ARE, however, a VERY important pollinator!"

"I'm getting ready to try my hand at this. Seem like I remember a show on TV a few years back called the Square Foot Gardener. I'm am also in the process of building a couple of raised beds just for the fun of it. Not sure what I will do with them as this time."

"Thank you Cheryl! I've never done one for outdoors, but I know that other have waterproofed it with a sealant spray and they reapply each year. Dipping them in concrete might work also, but then you lose the look of the blue jeans. Good luck! If you do it and it work, let me know )"

From the blogger: "I chose to paint because though this dresser was beautiful it was veneer and the veneer was in pretty bad shape after living in my grandma's attic for fifty years!"

Instructions

How to Refinish a Dresser

  1. Clean piece well before starting.

  2. Hand sand with fine grit sandpaper entire surface.

  3. Paint several coats waiting for each coat to fully dry and lightly sand between coats (used spray paint but brush on paint would be fine).

  4. Seal completely with a brush. I did three coats of a gloss poly acrylic lightly hand sanding between the last two coats.

  5. Add your new hardware and you're done!

Paint really can rescue old furniture. I have painted many pieces that have nice bones, but surface damage that really can't be repaired. I love the curvy arms on the mirror of this dresser and am glad that it was rescued, especially because it was her grandmother's. I love the glass knobs too, they really look nice on a black dresser. Great job.
