Refinishing Furniture - Part 3 - Completed

Here they are - I am so excited to see how beautiful they look in the girls room. They are so ready to fill them with girly stuff! After staining, I applied 4-5 coats of tung oil. Its my favorite finish - it makes it almost look like it has a polyurethane finish.

This is just perfect for my girls. I know that they will have many years of making memories as did the Tucker family who previously owned it. We are just so thrilled to have it as a part of our family now.

The chest is also just the right size for the girls. They have already filled it with their clothes.

And because I have had so much fun working on these 2 pieces - I couldn't resist getting these to refinish for the boys. The name stamped inside the drawers is Heritage Henredon. Many of the drawers have dividers and trays built in. It is a really neat piece that I am hoping to refinish the same dark color as the girls furniture.

This chest is about 5 feet tall. The 2nd drawer is actually a double sized drawer that has dividers built in. A friend said it was a mens chest and the dividers were to keep their pressed shirts stacked and separated. I just love little tidbits of info like that!

The dresser is 5 feet long so this set should take care of all of the boys storage needs for many years!!
