Ugh!! what a mess – but I have found a better stripping material – it’s a thicker paste type of stripping stuff – it really pulls the paint up but still ugh what a mess!! I sometimes feel like I am never gonna get to the wood …

my first intention was to strip the paint off & repaint it – but for this specific window frame (it’s the cutest half-size frame – my honey says it’s from a pie shelf – something that they had in the kitchens – like a cupboard) some of the wood that I have seen is just gorgeous… soooo.. plans my change!! 😉
