Brightening Up a Bedroom
Dear Aunt Daisy, Could you please tell me how to get the blue enamel off a duchess? I would like to varnish it again, as I have two varnished beds in the room now. Wishing you every happiness.-EZ.S. (Foxton), You have quite a big work before you, E.S., but with true keen New Zealand perseverance you will probably make a very good job of your duchess. First go over the whole thing thoroughly with paint and varnish remover, which you buy from a paintshop. Next wipe over well with turps; and then sandpaper it thoroughly. Now you use your varnish stain and the job is complete! Get a good, well-known brand. You can get Light Oak, or Dark Oak, or Walnut — whichever will match your beds. Let me know how you get on.
