I used citristrip to get the stain off the top and painted the legs white. Only problem is there were a few spots the citristrip got on the bottom half, and now there are a few orange looking patches coming through the white paint. Not sure how to fix the problem, any suggestions??

My wife and I just got this old dresser, and we want to spiff it up a little bit. So thank you for talking about this, and posting pictures and things on how to properly paint the furniture. I'll make sure I keep this in mind as we begin painting it. <a href="http://chestnutlaneantiques.com" rel="nofollow"> http://chestnutlaneantiques.com</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06884789883964004242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-89739824906110970632015-03-22T23:36:41.814-04:002015-03-22T23:36:41.814-04:00Hi Virginia, I just purchased some french provinc...Hi Virginia, I just purchased some french provincial furniture.

Would you recommend waiting until after it is assembled to paint the piece? Many thanks!<br />p.s.

I actually bought one of the wooster brushes recently to try since I am addicted to painting all my hand-me-down furniture and thrift store finds! I haven't used it yet, but am working on fixing up an old bookcase that was left behind when we bought the house, so I am excited for that. I am also glad to see you are making progress on your basement. I Can't wait to see it! We have started on our ugly/gross basement finally! We have ripped out the bathroom, torn down the drop ceiling, and torn down all the ugly plastic (?) trim. You keep me inspired and confident that we can do this ourselves!

I'll probably use the Sherwin Williams ProClassic because I can't take it outside. Given it's a bathroom and it will get wet at some point, should I still use a topcoat?
