This little vintage waterfall nightstand/cabinet had 5-6 layers of 2 different colors of paint, and the old, thick varnish underneath that!
No knob...So, I stripped the paint and varnish, patched a few chips and dents, on the sides, and sanded, then sanded some more! My goal was to restain, and leave as much of the natural wood as possible, but when the sanding was completed, it was obvious what areas needed to be painted ( Black Coal). I used 4 different shades of stain, and protected with a matte polyurethane. It was a lot of work, and took so much time, but it was a labor of love, because this piece has new life and looking for a new home.
