Someone gave us a contemporary buffet piece, that actually had a pull out full length dining table inside it. My husband and I spent hours stripping it, only to stain it YELLOW!!! I guess it didn't look too bad, we had a neat red wall behind it. But, when we moved, it didn't move with us. Wonder why.....Good Time Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908976938935127147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5300428906744492228.post-72556712021701416292011-07-08T18:21:59.657-07:002011-07-08T18:21:59.657-07:00Hi Stephanie,

It really is a good deglosser...I like it because it knocks that shine off pretty well but it does have a strong smell, so make sure you ventilate your area well!<br />I have been using the Deft for years and it's always gone over the latex paint with no problems. I know...I was always told not to use oil-based with water-based but for some reason, this brand works and it gives a really chip-resistant finish for me. Lately I've been using Varathane Wood Floor Finish and I love that too! Good luck and send pics when you finish!Kristen @ Urban Farmhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10745823412059590045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5300428906744492228.post-77702558313366485762011-07-08T14:35:47.224-07:002011-07-08T14:35:47.224-07:00Hi Kristin..............

I am getting ready to paint my little island in the kitchen that is currently stained oak and am so afraid that I am going to make it look worse than it does now. I am espcially interested in the deglosser that you recommend. It REALLY is as easy as you describe????? The thought of all that sanding has kept me from getting started for over a year now. Do you get it at Home Depot or Lowe's? My other question is about using spray paint in a can like the sealer that you recommend. Aren't the spray can paints oil based? If so, can I use that over a latex paint? Thanks so much.......do you have a store now? If so, where? <br /><br />StephanieMiMi Stefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07158783297707434896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5300428906744492228.post-17415400594425057152011-07-08T06:11:51.747-07:002011-07-08T06:11:51.747-07:00Hi JaceSophia,
