I think I ended up using a small chisel to get most of it off, but that sanding glove seems magical. How did I not know about it?<br /><br />Lovely chairs, Ashley. Sorry you had to work so hard to get them that way!<br />CamilleCamillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11099412902613816953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695752413125708607.post-25745009337524541152013-10-02T18:23:47.535-04:002013-10-02T18:23:47.535-04:00Thank you for lifting the veil and sharing the bac...Thank you for lifting the veil and sharing the backstory. As a DIY blogger myself, I sometimes get so down on myself about my DIY failures because the sneaky,mean voice in my head says “so and so would never have let this DIY project get so far off track..” Well, you just proved that maybe “So and So” wanted to punch her DIY in the face a few times before creatively coming up with a way to salvage and beautifully photograph it. I saw that awesome chair in your reveal post and I remember thinking “that’s so cool, I bet I could never make something like that though” (actually, that was the sneaky mean voice talking).. so, after reading this post, I’m realizing maybe I could!

I'm going to try sanding it like crazy - the citristrip was put on weeks ago, so it should be nice and dried out now :)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06838450504482022392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695752413125708607.post-55136504022249140702013-10-02T12:28:30.299-04:002013-10-02T12:28:30.299-04:00I have my own citristrip horrors afoot.

Hoping to make it through with the desk I posted about, but there is a little chair that will end up following the path of yours: sanding off the stripper, and re-painting the thing!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!<br /><br />Heather<br />loveyourspace.blogspot.comHeather Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508647517363572236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695752413125708607.post-68897676719323484832013-10-02T10:53:30.247-04:002013-10-02T10:53:30.247-04:00What a great transformation!!!
