Am I Boring You?

Well I'm boring me. I did this dresser the same as this one  because someone liked the other but it had already sold. Which of course makes happy but none the less, same paint, same pulls, same stain....same old, same old. This one had too much prep work involved for my liking. A somewhat cheap find on CL, after all I am cheap, but we established that already, now didn't we?? Thinkin' Uniquely Cheap may be more fitting, hmmm.
Likin' those decoupaged grapes aren't you?? Oh how I hate those grapes but we'll get to that in the next pic. Oh and I also hate a million coats of paint and what someone else considered glazing.
These little suckers did not want to come off. Not even w/ paint stripper. They just hung on there for dear life until I zapped them w/ wallpaper remover. Still had to scrape away like a crazy person but they came off. Grapes are great w/ cheese and of course for making wine but not great on this.
Bring on my resident stripper, My Michelle. She loves stripping, paint that is. Look at that girl happily stripping away. It's like Christmas or something in her world. Gotta love this child :)
All stripped except the turned legs...was not going to go there...trust me, you don't want to either. Gave them a good sanding and called it a day.


And here she is in all her grapeless glory!
