I Stripped This Hutch for HOURS… Was It Even Worth It?

Описание: This hutch came to me as a client piece, and my original plan was simple: strip it down, do a light oak wash, and keep things natural. But… the wood underneath had other plans. 😅

What started as a quick project turned into hours of stripping, scraping, sanding, and cleaning, all to reveal wood that just wasn’t strong enough to stand on its own. So I had a decision to make… and yes, I pivoted.

In this video, you’ll see:
✨ Removing layers of old paint using Klean Strip
✨ The oddly satisfying scraping process
✨ Cleaning the grain with acetone + steel wool
✨ Rebuilding the finish step by step
✨ A full transformation with a deep olive painted exterior
✨ A warm stained interior that brings everything to life

Sometimes refinishing takes you on a journey you didn’t plan, but that’s what makes it fun.
Was all that stripping worth it… if I ended up painting it again?
I’ll let you decide. 😉
