It works wonders so you dont have to pull back the veneer.

Hopefully, I’ll have some good pix to update you with soon.
I’ll also send a note so you have my email address.
Thank you for sharing.

I’ve found a new blog to watch. I stumbled upon your blog via google because I am thinking of re-doing my bed (headboard, footboard and sides). I am a new DIYr and this will be the largest project I am embarking on. Can you tell me a few things, did you sand by hand or with an electric sander and did you use a paint the whole bed by hand?I am hoping to surprise my DH with a mini-makeover when he returns in a week. Thanks.

I just bought an old buffet off Craigslist, and the veneer on top is wavy..I’m not sure how to fix it though since I have no way to clamp it.. Maybe I could stack something really heavy on top?
The bed looks gorgeous, and I love your blog! happy to find you!

You took a beautiful antique which looked like piece of junk (which is what I would have said, seeing the separated wood) and you brought it back to life. Good for you!! Really, I am SO impressed. I am going to save this – who knows when I might need to to do this one day!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Best,
Gloria
