A few months ago, I was approached by a friend of mine who had seen the work we have done here on Mig Builds and was interested in a having some work done.
After asking me some questions and getting a quote it wasn't long before I found out that this restoration project will be unlike any of the ones I've done before. After talking some more, I found out that this dresser belonged to his dad and has been in the family for decades. Every scratch, chip, and dent has been accumulated over many years some made by my friend when he was toddler and others by his siblings.
After asking him why he wanted to get it refurbished, it was becuase his father had passed away a few months ago and this dresser brings many memories of his dad and wanted me to fix it up and make it new again so he can keep it in the family for many more years to come.
The significance of this dresser truly makes it stand out, not only to myself, but to the family it belongs to. The faces of the family once they got to see it restored to its former glory is the reason I love working with projects like these and hope people see the importance of why some furniture is best kept and repaired rather than being dumped in a land fill.
