Empire Buffet Restoration Part 1
I just started working on this, very in need of TLC, Empire buffet this week. It’s going to get completely stripped and then repainted and the top left natural with a dark stain.
This my not so secret favorite weapon. You can read more about how I strip in this post.
I think the key to stripping is that you have to be patient. You just can’t rush it. I like to apply it with a brush and then sit back and watch the magic happen.
I then CAREFULLY use a putty knife to remove all of the bubbled paint.
Love this natural wood!!!!
And now let me introduce you to my dad the furniture finisher extraordinaire. He’s getting a little workout while he sands the top. Well that’s it for today. I’ve gotta go strip the sides and front. And rebuild a drawer….and repair the bottom….and sand and sand and sand……
Stay tuned my friends!
