I hope no one started a stripping project and then got stuck in the middle of it without part two of my video! :) I finally had the chance to edit it. In this video, I’m using Strypeeze, a biodegradable chemical paint remover, mineral spirits, and a putty knife. All are available from your local True Value Hardware or their online store. Enjoy part two…
The top definitely wasn’t perfect underneath, but I think the imperfections just add to the character of the piece.
You can see the part one of the video tutorial HERE and the finished dresser HERE.
I was one of the bloggers selected by True Value to work on the DIY Squad. I have been compensated for my time commitment to the program as well as my writing about my experience. I have also been compensated for the materials needed for my DIY project. However, my opinions are entirely my own and I have not been paid to publish positive comments.

Im DYING for your tutorial for how to use antiquing wax to come out! I bought it, and have tried it a few times but haven’t been very successful and am not sure what I thought I was doing with it! Ha.
thank you!
I have a china cabinet and sideboard sitting in my garage, both coated with at least 3 different 1970′s colors, and I really want to see what kind of beauty is underneath.
Thanks, Marian for this and all your videos,.
Big project coming up in the spring, when weather permits. We recently found, in an antique store, the 8′ solid ( not sure the wood yet) front door from the little country Methodist church where we married 40 years ago. I plan to strip it as I think the wood will be beautiful. Gonna be quite a job but one full of sentimate.
Hi there, ma’am. My name is Chelle and I’m a fan.
Your tutorials are absolutely incredible and I have been hanging out here daily just checking stuff out. I plan to hopefully tackle your drop cloth slipcovers soon. I posted about that on my own blog and just wanted to let you know in case you’d like to see my progress as I likely sew myself to the sofa accidentally.

Thank you and God bless,

Thanks for the advice and the videos. I was trying to get paint out of the grain of some wood with just soap and water. I’m ready to give mineral spirits a try.
I am back in VA , on the way to recovery from knee surgery. I am making sure I do not miss the tutorial on using crackle yet.
I am loving your tutorial! Thank you so much!
These video tutorials are so great, I really really appreciate them!
