I was the only thing standing between this washstand and the landfill. See how I removed 5 layers of paint to reveal what was underneath.

  • I have this same Eastlake piece. I found it on the curb. It had four coats of enamel on it. My husband said it was junk but I saw beauty. It took me about a year of blood sweat and tears to finish it. I hade to use dentist picks to clean all the trim. It is a work of art now, how proud I am of the results.

    Wow…no wonder his friend didn’t want this piece. The work was tremendous. But such an old piece found itself in the right hands. Can’t find these anymore. Thank you for giving it its beauty back. Wonderful work.
  • Such a heavy duty to strip all these layers of paint! But the end result is a GORGEOUS PIECE OF FURNITURE! Thanks so much for sharing

    I would have loved it in its stripped look. I love that original wood. But what you did gave it a great look.

    I’ve never seen a piece of furniture with so many layers of paint. I admire your patience and dedication. This piece turned out beautiful! Excellent job!!

    Wow!!! That was a LOT of work! But the end result came out really nice!

    So crazy that they had wood, then painted it to cover the wood, and then faux finished it to look like wood.
  • @Seahorse1414
    I was horrified when after soooo much trouble to remove the many layers of paint that you then added paint ! I have to say I very much admire your patience and the end result is beautiful , so well done you 😁

    I’m always so amazed by the transformations. I would never be able to visualize how gorgeous these poor pieces will be.

    Beautiful restoration. Wouldn't have thought it possible. One little nit-pick about the captions: "A crevasse, [ kruh–vas ] with emphsis on the second syllable, that rhymes with mass, is a very big, deep crack, especially a chasm in a glacier or the earth's surface. A crevice [ krev-is ] with the emphasis on the first syllable, and a second syllable that rhymes with miss, is a small crack in something that forms an opening into the thing's surface." Sorry, mom was an English teacher …
