If you’ve ever wondered how to actually remove layers of old paint without losing your mind (or your furniture’s details) — this one’s for you. 🎨 Here’s my go-to process ⬇️ 1️⃣ Apply a liberal coat of paint stripper — don’t be shy, let it do the heavy lifting. 2️⃣ Spread it evenly with a brush and give it a few minutes to work its magic. 3️⃣ Once it starts bubbling, grab your putty knife and gently scrape away those old layers. 4️⃣ For tricky spots or carved details, I use acetone + an abrasive (steel wool, dish brush, or wire brush) to lift every last bit. 5️⃣ Always lay down plastic first — trust me, your floors will thank you later. 😅 Paint stripping is messy, but so worth it when that beautiful wood starts to shine through again! 🌿 💬 What furniture flipping technique do you want me to cover next? furnitureflip furnituremakeover diy upcycling tutorial LTKStyleTip LTKHome LTKvlog
