How do I restore painted wood furniture?
My bedroom furniture is wood, painted black, and the dresser and nightstand have a light cherry stain on the tops. The pieces are fifteen years old, but high quality and in great shape. Everything just needs a little cosmetic work. Do I need to actually refinish the pieces? If not, what can I use to clean the painted surfaces and the stained wood? I’d like to get the furniture to look as new as possible!
I have never done anything other than wipe them down with a cloth, and I am definitely a novice at any refinishing (or anything DIY in general).
Any answers are much appreciated!
If you want restore the natural wood look you have to refinish it. I refinished my stairs with Citris Orange Paint Remover. You let it set and it bubbles the paint. Then you scrape off paint and lightly sand then polyurethane it. Or you could contact your local antique dealer and ask them. What would be the best way to touch up the furniture. Could be something simple. If it has a dull look and you haven’t tried Murphy’s Oil Soap.
