Here it is so far. I stripped all the plastic coatings and black paint off--there were several alternating layers of kinds of plastic coating so that was a helluva job. After working that hard to get down to the wood, I couldn't bring myself to just paint over it. So I decided to dye the wood. Good luck to anyone who tries to get the blue off--it's soaked in good and deep. Now I have to install brand new electrics (so many choices, it's all a bit overwhelming) and the hardware (that was in good shape, I am reusing the old stuff there--except for the three knobs as it came from the pawn shop without knobs so I bought three new ones).
This hasn't exactly been a fun project, but it has been educational.
