Actually I have some old furniture for refinishing and your article made me do that. I love this vintage style. It is like pure magic in your home. Best regards. Hope you have more projects like this one!

I’ve been a long time reader and I love your style and enthusiasm. I recently bought a piece at a swap meet that was just the right size for a media console in our room, solid wood, good lines, perfect. The only problem was that the ladies that sold it were on the Chalk paint wagon and had painted it emerald green. Not my style unfortunately. I still had to have it. Now I’ve been sanding that bugger for 2 days and dreading starting the drawers and I had no idea how I was going to get the hard to reach parts. Then I remembered you Vicki and that you had gone back to wood after paint. Thank you so much for posting how you did it!!! you are a life (and back, hands and knees) saver!

It worked very well. After the gun I apply stripper, wait a short time then rub the rest of the paint or varnish off with #3 steel wool. Repeat if needed. If repainting I apply two coats of primer then the finish coat of paint. If staining apply stain with a brush and even it out with a cloth. Then apply a sealer like polyurethane or deft either satin,semigloss or gloss. A second coat may help. Be careful not to scorch the wood with the heat gun.
