Work in progress

Almost ready for paint....

just a light sanding

Hardware with the paint removed

GORGEOUSSSS

FINALLYYYYYY....

SOME PROGRESS!!!!

I had know idea what I was in for taking this project on

Thank god I love redoing furniture 

or

By now I would have gauged my eyes out with the scrapper

I know that sounds harsh but if you have ever stripped furniture

your biggest nightmare is 

seeing a dozen coats of paint!! No kidding!!!

Makes a totally happy girl

frown and possibly say cuss words (lots of them)

Here is what I started with....

SOOO I started with a good pair of gloves

And two cans of stripper

a scrapper and metal brushes for the detail...

Had to do this Three times and ended up purchasing 

4 more cans of stripper 

Ended up with this

Yeahhh I am like are you kidding me.....

Did this two more times on EVERYTHING...

AND FINALLY READY FOR A LIGHT OVER SANDING AND THEN 

PAINT....WOOO HOOOO

FINALLYYYYYYY

Thank you sweet baby jesus

I felt like this was the never ending 

dresser....

ANDDDDD

I AM SOOOO SUPER EXCITED 

TO GET IT COMPLETED

BUTTTT HAVEN'T DECIDED
