A (cedar) chest redo.

I had to throw the "cedar" part in there -- you know what I'm sayin'? (Hang in there till the end for the winner of The Sheet Boutique giveaway!) Remember this lovely I found last week for <em>$40</em>?:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT9vDnU17oA0WewGKt3PgyyAaIHxuccwNStNWHxenYGJAWhpJ8nFFDMwUhMsPbB-pfyytCIHIDQSbfK5xZfIcjagajPCYypzk6Wpb8TExxDWN1Dx9ve61VB1Lg3FC90Am_n0eb2AkTD2A/s1600-h/DSC01211.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373604723697542818" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT9vDnU17oA0WewGKt3PgyyAaIHxuccwNStNWHxenYGJAWhpJ8nFFDMwUhMsPbB-pfyytCIHIDQSbfK5xZfIcjagajPCYypzk6Wpb8TExxDWN1Dx9ve61VB1Lg3FC90Am_n0eb2AkTD2A/s400/DSC01211.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a>At first glance, it was perfectly lovely on it's own, but the lid had a yellowish paint on it, drip marks and a really awful stencil. I think the person that painted it put too much poly on top that yellowed the paint and made the stencil bleed all over the place.<br /><br />All I needed to do was sand down the paint and the stencil a little and then paint over it. Easy project right? Ummm...<strong>NEVER</strong> say those words out loud peeps. Karma comes around <em>every. time</em>.<br /><br />The person who had painted it before did not prepare it well before painting, so as I was sanding the paint started peeling right off:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7BeWrFFdJr10eIBGPuJVQgNZXOgNZbSViUAy7EJ_9Bx4PpOWDMtK3NzkQ9jskaTRX0O_PTczVny6as61dhth5DHH-Xm1btHxYJSU7JDR0LxIT5TodtjV19YSz1iUKNLn5F8gd7ckkrj4/s1600-h/DSC01224.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373604718568152386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7BeWrFFdJr10eIBGPuJVQgNZXOgNZbSViUAy7EJ_9Bx4PpOWDMtK3NzkQ9jskaTRX0O_PTczVny6as61dhth5DHH-Xm1btHxYJSU7JDR0LxIT5TodtjV19YSz1iUKNLn5F8gd7ckkrj4/s400/DSC01224.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> I could just pick at it and peel off strips. Nuts. This meant one thing -- I had to strip the whole thing down. (Oooo I am going to get some interesting searches off of "chest" and "strip" in the same post.)<br /><br />I haven't had to use paint stripper for years, I avoid it if I can. This time I used water-based stuff and I really liked it:<br /><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjoc0lxq1AEV7-7im3YYMbwoKHmIqIUReIPHREc18B3Zpz-ILk4vUvCrnlCZPIN-GNPFvRq9a1uh5RJ1Bo9JT3Rf7AE0WTBvWCNLWXKkyH0ie5mHu1rm-oH4oE4Qaf4BC2maQ8R9EUlT4/s1600-h/DSC01228.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373603954065943602" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjoc0lxq1AEV7-7im3YYMbwoKHmIqIUReIPHREc18B3Zpz-ILk4vUvCrnlCZPIN-GNPFvRq9a1uh5RJ1Bo9JT3Rf7AE0WTBvWCNLWXKkyH0ie5mHu1rm-oH4oE4Qaf4BC2maQ8R9EUlT4/s400/DSC01228.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> The instructions say you can even use this inside, but I wouldn't recommend that. It's super easy to use though -- just glob it on. </div><br /><div>If their are only one or two coats of paint, it should only take one or two applications.

If you ever need to do this, use fine steel wool to get the paint out of the detailed areas.<br /></div><div><br />Then, I put on a couple coats of primer and then about five coats of paint, because the wood was quite literally sucking it right up.
