I don't know what it was finished with before. I sanded it. I decided to paint it a funky green with one if those no prime no sand chalk paints.
It was peeling quite badly. I was not going for a chippy rustic look. I did not like the finish. So I scraped and sanded it off.
Here's where it ended up, with a Martha Stewart color in Behr's Ultra paint and primer in one.

wow Dixie, it was allot of scrapping ? But it sure does look beautiful, I have a beautiful restaurant chair from the 50's.. Hubby tried what ever on it..do you know what I can use just to strip it down to the natural wood ?? I so appreciate it.. I will take a picture to show you, I use it as my sewing machine chair.. Thanks bunches ... Sherrie
Hi, Sherrie, for some reason I am not getting notifications of comments. I don't know about stripping to wood. The last furniture I stripped was 25 years ago. :-). Hopefully they have less caustic solutions than what was available then.
