If the paint is not flaking you don't need to strip it, just encapsulate with primer and a couple of topcoats. Either way (stripped or not) you will be fine once it is freshly painted. By the way, did you test for lead? Don't assume it has lead by it's age, not all paint contained it I did test for...

I'm finally getting around to stripping this cupboard for my kitchen. It currently has lead paint on it. I'm stripping off the paint and going to repaint it in a similar white, Farrow & Ball Pointing (m). I will be doing this in the barn and have a respirator with P100 filters and will be using ...

It is looking really great, phil!!!!

I just bought this 10 ft 1800s table for my home studio (which is the addition onto my farmhouse). I am soooo excited!

I seriously considered the drive for this, being about to build my own butler's pantry.
