How beautiful! It's my birthday on Sunday...and I've been going sans-duvet cover for longer than I'd like to admit! Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| LA Thursday Giveaway: 02.28.08 Flag this comment	2/28/08 7:18 PM
You're probably going to have to do some more scraping even if you use a solvent. The solvent will soften the old paint, but you'll still have to clear it away with your plastic or metal scraper. I wouldn't worry about the scratches though. You can easily sand out scratches from stone with a couple grades of sand paper (maybe one that is for wet use). Soapstone is so soft that sanding will be a breeze. On the other hand, marble is so hard that it shouldn't have as many scratches! Good luck! I bet you'll love it when its finished!
