I'm afraid after 2/3rds of what you went through I would have put a sheet over and it, tucked it into the garage for "another day" never to be looked at again.

My friendly Home Depot paint mixer told me to use an oil based primer instead of water based and you won't get the brush strokes. He also said an oil based primer should be used when painting over a stained piece due to the oils in the stain. Hope mine turns out as beautiful as yours did.Teresa@magazineyourhomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942419475107361902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576659341448084882.post-55404659504515866992010-08-16T20:29:48.033-07:002010-08-16T20:29:48.033-07:00You poor thing!!
