How do I sand my Ethan Allen furniture to a natural finish?

I have a nice Ethan Allen bedroom set from the 1970s that it is in excellent condition (structurally), but the finish on the furniture is scuffed up, dull, and just way too dark for my taste. What is the easiest process for sanding this down to a natural finish?

Answer
I use Strypeeze to remove majority of finish. It removes every kind of finish I ever used it own. Then I sand the small spots it didn't quite get. Most manufactured furniture uses very thin veneer wood on top of secondary wood so a sanding mistake can severely damage a piece of furniture. I use a random orbit sander and fine grain paper. Takes most of the work out of it too.

Removing White Wash from furniture?

My daughter has a white wash bedroom set. She has gotten older and has her own style and hates the color. What is the best way to get that white wash off and get it's natural wood tones back?

Answer
You have to use a paint stripper is the only way....That is if your wanting to keep the wood grain visible....it can be sanded lightly, primed with an oil based primer(kilz original) etc..then recoated with a latex...If she wants the grain to show..it must be stripped....There are many new strippers that do not burn the skin and such in all diy stores...but this job is work extensive..and takes alot of tlc to complete..and should not be done inside around carpets, tiles etc...
