This waterfall dresser needed a modern makeover, so I started off by removing the tattered wall paper with the help of some vinegar and water. Soaking it for a few minutes made it scrape off without much difficulty.

My main objective with this one was to take the regular waterfall dresser style add a midcentury modern personality. Adding the classic MCM legs after flattening the base helped with this, as well as the handles that I made using some planks of scrap pine that were collecting dust in my garage for a while.

Let me know what you thought, and if you would have done anything differently!
