Antique Furniture Refinishing Berthoud

There’s something timeless about antique furniture. The curves, the craftsmanship, the stories held in every scratch and groove. But even heirlooms need a refresh sometimes. In this client story, we’ll walk you through a custom wood refinishing project we completed in Berthoud that brought a century-old dresser back to life—without stripping away its soul.

The Client’s Challenge

A Berthoud homeowner came to us with a beloved but weathered walnut dresser passed down from her grandmother. The finish was flaking, the color had faded unevenly, and years of use had dulled the character of the wood. She didn’t want to paint it over or replace it. She wanted it preserved—and enhanced.

Our Restoration Approach

After a thorough inspection, we determined the dresser was structurally sound and perfect for a full refinishing. Our process included:
– Gentle stripping of the old finish to preserve wood detail
– Hand sanding to bring out the natural grain
– Custom color matching to blend with existing decor
– A durable, low-VOC topcoat to protect for decades

Choosing the Right Wood Finish

The client selected a satin walnut finish with a clear polyurethane sealant. This option preserved the natural tone of the wood while adding subtle warmth and sheen. Because we use environmentally friendly finishes, the piece was safe to bring back into the home the same day without any lingering chemical odors.

What the Client Said

“Creative Coatings treated my family piece with care and craftsmanship. I was blown away by the detail in the final finish—it looks like it did in my grandmother’s house. I couldn’t be happier!” – Linda M., Berthoud
