Would you walk away from those legs even if one was broken and her veneer was a hot mess? Me either.
Here she is partially stripped of her veneer. A drag of a job!
The broken leg getting repaired.
I wasn't kidding when I said hot mess. I used the iron and wet towel method to loosen the glue from the veneer. Then took a putty knife and slid it under the veneer. Whacked the heck out of it and sanded down the rough spots. Prepping this took far longer than painting her. But I knew that before getting myself into this mess.
She did clean up super nice though!
Look at that beutiful back plate. I was completely bummed that two were cracked so I used glass ones on the top drawer.
I chose French Gray which is one of my favorites and tends to sell quickly. Stripped and stained the top dark walnut and charcoal glazed in the carved areas.
Happy Weekend!!!!
