The Layered Obstacle

It was caked in layers of white paint but the hope was that there was still wood underneath it all.

I used citrus strip to remove the paint but every layer just revealed another layer of paint.

After stripping, scraping, and sanding, I finally got to the wood base which I was shocked to see was still in relatively decent shape.

I stained the wood a darker color and sealed it with a wipe on polyurethane taking it from this to to this.

It was a lot of work but it was worth it to restore this gorgeous vintage lamp.
