I don't paint all piece of furniture that come along.
Believe it or not I stripped this thrift store find and found this
amazing finish underneath. Check out the close up pics and
the before pictures below. I found this little chest at our local
Value Village. It was covered in some very ugly paint, it had
no handles, and chewed legs. It was a whopping $75, but I
loved the shape and size and had to have it.
I couldn't sand it because all the details are pressed into the
wood. It took about $50 worth of strippers and days to get all
the ugliness off.

What was left was a mix of white & gold & green
& wood. I added 4 authentic vintage glass knobs,
something my mother gave me years ago.
Are you ready for the BEFORE pic?
And here is a look at the messy striping process.
SHE'S A WONDERFUL PIECE NOW AND WORKS PERFECT IN OUR HOME.
