Dry ice blasting paint - GIF

[Frank S]

Whoever painted it made the choice to try to "update it" at the time rather than toss it...they made the perfect choice.

Only if it had been made of MDF or particle board from IKEA,
guess you didn't notice the inlay on the drawer. Paint doesn't update furniture if it is made out of real wood it only cheapens the appearance, better to be mismatched with the rest of the furniture than hide the wood with paint. This comes from a guy who believes everything made of wood is future firewood.
