UPDATE: Still Scrapin'


seriously. i am.  and my thumb is theriouthly thad at the thight of the thitrithrip container. tho thad that it lithps through ith tirade in my head.  

(i've lost you now, haven't i?  how many times did you have to read that until you had it right?  ok, sorry.  i know i'm not thupothed to thcrew with you.  i'm thupothed to potht about furniture but...forget it.  just go to the next subscription in your reader.  it's okay.  i broke my end of the deal. but it is my blog...pretty much.)



 three days ago it was a brown buffet.  then it met citristrip and it wasn't so brown anymore. 




   third coat of citristrip on the drawers and...




a hellovallotta scrapin' later.  ooooh!  ahhhh! 




check out the door BEFORE (left) the third coat of stripilicious glop was scraped and the right is AFTER.  yup.  worth that third coat, don't you think?



and, yes, there is a teeny, tiny, eenie, weenie tad of trim that toppled due to the risky use of that darn metal scraper that IS SO FLIPPIN' AHHH-MAZIN' THAT I HAVE TO YELL ABOUT IT.  (the plastic ones stinkaroo but are a kinder, gentler way of revealing wood.) plus my wood glue rocks my socks so it'll be back in its spot in a blink.

tho, thtill i thcrape...for another day.  it'th jutht tho thatithfying.

(okay, i'm done lisping.  i promithe promiSe.)
