Tea Cart Project

I picked this up over a year ago at a yard sale for $20. There is soooooo much hideous paint on it.
Step one- visualize and then let sit in garage for a year.

Stripping the layers of this are just horrible. But the wood is beautiful.
I decided that there was no way I was going to finish this for the 4th of July party, so I worked on my sewing table. With the top of this being so hard to remove paint, I decided to prime the lower part. I will finish sanding and staining top and paint lower area black. More pics to follow when ai start working on it again.
So its 100 degrees out today and I decide to work on cart. By far the worst project so far. The green paint is drivng me nuts. y'all will probably kill me when I show you what I end up doing.
Continuing to make progress. Primed the lower part and sanded all top.
Hubby took off drop leafs and sanded for me.
I decided to bring it outside and begin painting lower half gloss black. Im not a huge fan of black, but color vs stripping more.......well you know.
Apparently hubs did more sanding of something in garage and my primer had like bumps in it. I sprayed over it anyway (I lack patience). Yep...now I have to resand and repaint 😪
The stencil was wood and didnt come out so good. But I left it.
Its pretty big!
Enjoyed the project?
