Finally got it done today. Ain't she a beauty? This was the worst strip job I've ever done. All those grooves and curves! Found the best tool was good old steel wool and a dental pick. I opted to make it look new instead of leaving the feet all brown and rust-encrusted. The glass balls are really chewed up on the bottoms but they still shine.
Since the wooden seat top was missing and someone put that rough wood on there I made a nice thick cushion and used some crushed velvet I had laying around and tacked it tight all around. I found some fringe that matched perfectly to cover the tacks and give it some oomph. In the picture the colors are a little off. In reality the trim matches.
