I have four very orange pine chairs. I stripped one with a hand sander but it took so long and the sander is a bit brutal to be honest. Any suggestions as to how I can make things easier and quicker?
Nitromors is your friend on this job. On the intricate bits use coarse steel wool and on the flat bits a scraper. Best of luck, it ain't a nice job. Wear gloves and some goggles and a long sleeved shirt.
Depends what you want them to look like. I restrained my pine bedroom furniture to an oak colour. All I did was sand down with sanding paper and stained with a cloth.
If it's just the colour you want to change you could paint them with chalk paint, it's on trend at the moment and comes in lots of lovely shades from pastels to bolds if you're brave enough.
