This little beauty was a great $50 find at an estate sale. It was a solid piece and the wood was in good condition. It really just needed a new finish. I just don’t have the heart to paint over pretty wood, especially antiques – so, I stripped and stained it. No new or fancy techniques. I just used stripper, denatured alcohol, a palm sander and went to work. Not a fun job – but, always so satisfying when it’s done.
