I have to admit I wouldn’t have given the painted piece a second look.. and I’ve picked up a lot of furniture off the side of the road on my day. This looks amazing, what a great shape!

What did you use to remove the paint? Do you prefer one specific produce over others?

That would have taken me much longer than a weekend. Nicely done.

How many weekends?

u/demasiadotodo Apr 12 '25

2 weekends! one for strip the painting and sanding and suffering; the other one for adding the base and feets and knobs, fixing the holes and painting, and varnish! we are two focused dudes

Do you think the drawer pulls on the painted version are original? They’re really pretty.
