I'll share my secret to a gentle restoration!  

I paid the most I ever have for this Henredon dresser flip. It was in pretty good shape when I found it with some scratches and a dull finish. I decided to try to tone the wood to refresh it since it really didn’t need a full refinish. I used General Finishes protocol by scuff sanding with a high grit and cleaning with a 50\50 mixture of denatured alcohol and water. I applied the gel stain and let it dry. Then I used Mohawk blendal sticks to go around the dresser and fill in any problem areas. I would blend a color then seal it with an aerosol sealer, move on to another area and then come back once it dried to continue layering the colors until I was happy with it. Once all the repairs were made I sealed it with two coats of Minwax’s oil poly in a flat sheen. I think it turned out great. What do you think?
These go for $1900+ on Etsy in original condition. What do you think I should list it for?
*Update: It sold for $1600.
