This guy takes a $20 mid-century modern dresser he found and transforms it into something amazing. It's 20 min, but you can have it in the background while you waste your time here...

What was kind of neat was how he dealt with the big flaw in the top. If you look at the original, on the top surface, you can see a gouge in the red-painted area. Rather than just filling it with some wood filler, he filled it with epoxy and then routed channels across the top as a design element which matches the detail on the drawer fronts.

And...I don't know if it will sell. For some reason, buyers today do not want stained wood finishes.
