Overpainted African Ashanti Wood Stool

How can someone like better the blue paint instead of the natural wood color. It may take a bit to strip it off. Have to research if there is any symbolism in the carving.

 

What's that we say here.....brown furniture is on the decline !!

 

Shabby Afro-chic.

Looks like someone did not prepare the surface well before painting. These are usually oiled and/or waxed pretty heavily to begin with so it may not be too hard to strip. I would recommend a heat gun rather than stripper. You are less likely to get paint in the grain.
