Ladies Desk Refinishing

The owner was having a difficult time stripping the paint from this desk, so she asked if I would take over the project. She wanted all the paint removed, and then have the desk refinished with a wood stained finish.

I started by re-gluing the loose legs and some of the moldings. Then repaired the drawer bottom which was falling out.

Next, I scraped off as much paint as possible, then used a furniture stripper to remove the rest.

The next day everything was sanded and prepped for a new finish.

The desk was then stained, and finished with a few coats of lacquer. Once dry, the new finish was rubbed and waxed.

New brass knobs were then installed on the drawers.

Hopefully no one will paint this piece again.
