How to restore wooden dressing tables?
Wooden cabinets add a warm and natural charm to a bathroom of any style, but changes in humidity, age, and common wear can harm even the most well-groomed wooden bedside table. The good news is that you won't have to rip out the bathroom cabinet and replace it. If you cover the dressing table with a stain or fresh paint, the appearance of the cabinet will lose many years, and its service life will increase.
1
Remove all drawers, doors, and handles or controls from the cabinet. Store everything in marked plastic zippered bags so that you can return the accessories to their place later.
2
Arrange the doors and drawers on a flat surface on napkins. Make sure that the room you will be working in is well ventilated, as some nail polish removers, stains, and paints have strong vapors.
3
Apply a chemical cleaner to the doors and drawers using a natural bristle brush. Leave them alone while you apply nail polish remover to the bedside table. A paste-like nail polish remover is easier to work with, and it won't leak if applied to vertical cabinet surfaces. Leave the product on for the time recommended by the manufacturer. Some removers bubble when loosening an old coating, while others just make it soft and easy to scrape off.
4
Scrape off the old coating with a plastic scraper. Work in small sections and be careful not to scratch the wood. Wipe the wood with clean wipes to remove all traces of the scraper.
5
Sand the wood to be finished with 180 grit sandpaper. This will not only remove traces of the old finish, but also reveal the texture of the wood, which will allow it to better accept the stain or primer. Work with the grain of the wood and do not apply too much pressure.
6
Wipe all sanded surfaces with napkins to remove all sanding dust. This will help make the final finish look smooth.
7
Apply a primer for wood if the stain or paint does not include a primer. This will help the top layer to adhere to the wood. Allow the primer to dry completely, which can take from an hour or so to overnight, so follow the time indicated on the label.
8
Apply the stain with a stain sponge barely moistened with stain. This will allow you to better control how much stain gets on the tree. Leave the stain on for a minute or two, and then remove the excess with a clean cloth. Apply the paint with a brush, trying to work with the grain. Allow the stain or paint to dry completely before applying a second coat. Between layers, lightly sand with 220-grain or finer sandpaper to get a very smooth final result.
9
Spray or brush on a water-resistant urethane sealant. This will protect your bedside table from the usual splashes and spilled liquids that all bathrooms are prone to. Allow the sealant to dry for at least 24 hours, and then install the fittings on the drawers and doors and reattach them to the cabinet.
