Well, she's done. Safely delivered to her new City Chic home in NYC - her new owner loves it.

It was a tough job but the end result was very satisfying.

    Hard to believe it's the same piece! You should keep a portfolio of these.

    Miriam, I have all my pictures organized in iPhoto. Sometimes I forget to take before pictures...and sometimes they sell fast (yay) and I don't get many good afters but I try. The stripping was a bear. The painting was easy.

    Thank you Sherrie, with all the scraping and repair work to the top it took about a week and a half of a few hours a day. Once I got to the paint it was easy peasy!

    Wow I wish I had the patience and talent to do a job like that. Well worth it when it is done.

    Thanks Sherrie, it was kind of sad to her go so soon after finishing.
