Let’s go through the steps to remove old paint or stain from any type of wood furniture. Until we saw what the wood looked like underneath. So we planned to strip off the old paint to give the new paint a good solid base. But the old finish was in really bad shape. The original plan was to give the dresser a fresh new layer of dark grey paint. Our client brought us her Grandma’s old dresser that has been in her family for over 100 years! And there were at least 3 layers of paint on it when it made it’s way to me. Let’s dig into the whole process of how to remove paint from wood furniture so you can show off the beautiful natural wood again. When we stripped off the paint, we found this stunning raw wood underneath, and just had to keep it natural! Look at what was underneath 3 layers of chipping old paint! This dresser makeover started with stripping / removing the paint from the wood.
