I absolutely love yardsaling and this was a great buy for $10. However, when I showed it to my son, he WAS NOT in love with the blue and white splatter paint finish from the Eighties. I had never refinished wood before. I was surprised at how goopey and messy it really is. This picture was taken right after I had removed the paint.
You get the idea of the color on the drawers.
Here are my refinishing tools. I went through a whole package of these blue gloves.
Here's the stripper.
Kilz was a must!
Next order on the agenda. Paint it red!
I like to store my paint brush in a plastic bag if I can't finish the project in a day. It really keeps from having to clean the paint brush over and over again.
Here's his Star Wars chest of Drawers almost complete. I bought the wrapping paper from Wal Mart for $3. I think it adds so much to the effect.
Last but not least we added a clone trooper and another Star Wars character to the drawer pulls.
