Below,  we refinished a French style bedroom set that had been painted.

It can be hard to gauge how furniture that's been pained is going to come out? 

This one was factory painted, than painted again by the owner.

Factory painted furniture can be the most difficult to refinish, since they almost

always painted directly over the raw wood.  In this case, the customer hoped

for a honey tone, but was aware that it may have to go darker

depending on how well we could remove the paint.

Above: The triple dresser before and after stripping. We were pleased that it

stripped fairly clean, but it required a good deal of effort. We found the wood to

be Cherry.

Below:  Some of the drawers after being sanded.

Below:  The finished pieces. They came out better than I had expected, and I was

able to keep the finish fairly clear and light. I love working on furniture,

but truthfully, the favorite part of a job like this is being done.
