This is a clock that I just purchased and I want to improve the appearance of the chips. I tried to wipe on some stain but it wouldn’t absorb. I’m kind afraid to sand it because of the paint.

Any suggestions on improving the appearance that a novice can do?:

Hi,

This is my first stain project. I’m staying an old dresser. I cleaned the dresser and then I sanded with a 220 sand grit. I vacuumed after. They I put some of the stain with a sponge. I waited a few minutes then I wiped it off with a cloth. The stain came right off( see second picture). What did I do wrong? I’m using the red mahogany colour. My mom said to add another coat on and not wipe it off. I know this will turn into a disaster, because all the videos I have watched and read about said to wipe it off after.

Professionally painted. $400 for painting, $65 for pulls (there’s drawers on the inside). Inside was in perfect condition, so I left it in tact.

My initial thought is to paint the dresser purple and then do a blue wash coat. Would that work to get this color effect?

hi! wasn’t sure where to post this, but we just bought a refinished dresser set & went to start putting clothes in the drawer & noticed brown marks on our clothes. wiped all of it down with a microfiber cloth, went back over it with a paper towel to check, and I’m still getting lots of brown residue. the furniture isn’t wet, was done over a week ago. any suggestions?
