I think I may have mentioned a time or 2 about my love affair with Craigslist, right?
And I am pretty sure I mentioned that I picked up a free buffet for my dining room this weekend.
What I didn't mentioned is that it needs a good bit of TLC.
It's a gorgeous piece. And for the most part, I will probably have no problem getting it into shape.
But see that bottom drawer?
The veneer was chipped away from the corner. Ugh.
Not to mention there are distinct scuffs/watermarks in the finish on the left side door
This is where you come in.
PLEASE.
Can anyone tell me how to correct this problem?
I am considering peeling a portion of the veneer from inside of one of the doors or the bottom of a foot of it, but how do I go about adhering the veneer.
HELP ME, PLEASE!!!!

Have you thought about sanding down and refinishing, or is it not a piece you can do that with? You may be able to find what they call "wood putty" in a hardware store... it's this stuff you can fit in cracks and holes and then finish it to look like the furniture. But anyway, what a great find!! :) Worst case, cover it up with a colored sharpie and pray no one notices, haha!
Thanks for linking to the Ask the Yankee blog party with your project.
I've done a lot of furniture refinishing, as well as, custom building, so I'm sure I can answer your question. But, is it possible for you to send a better picture (maybe a close-up of the area of concern)? I want to make sure that I address your problem the best way possible.
You can send the picture(s) to my wife's blog address:

Thanks.
