I think I grew some nice curvy shoulders with this one.
My client brought this table over. Originally she just wanted the table re-pained white and to finish the other two chairs in blue like in the background.
She had hired someone to do it, but she didn't want to finish it, so I took it over.

It didn't look bad at first, but when I took a closer look at the finish...
Thick, rough paint was in every nook and cranny and it desperately needed to be stripped.
So I put the music on and got to work.
I talked to her about changing her vision
to a stained top with a white base and white chairs, and she trusted me.

And here is is...finally!
Everything is all nice and smooth again. She will be recovering her chair seats.
Just look at that top! I have to touch it every time I walk by. It has the most beautiful walnut grain that this picture doesn't show. She's going to looove it!
And p.s., I've officially resigned as a stripper ;)
