<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Northern Lights Lodge, post: 4295119, member: 13464&quot;]This is a REALLY good point!!!! LOL... and I actually ran into that myself! I inherited a darling kitchen nook table (mission design) with two settle benches that my Granddad made in the 30&#039;s - 40&#039;s... out of hard rock maple that was milled on the property. I always LOVED LOVED LOVED the set.</p><p><br /></p><p>Eventually, they came to me - my Mother had painted them that hideous 70&#039;s green avocado with a stain wash... and then it sat in the basement for years.</p><p><br /></p><p>I LOVE dark brown wood furniture... and I only remembered that this was always&nbsp; white/cream color when it belonged to my Grands. So it was my intention to strip it down to maple and stain it darker. HAHA... I got the green off... but apparently, it was white/cream milk paint. Unfortunately the green came off and the milk paint came off, unevenly. What to do? I ended up repainting it white. I &quot;wish&quot; I had just the original milk paint now... alas... without having to had to deal with the green! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, still love the set and am so grateful that it landed with me! We use it out on our enclosed back porch where it is &quot;perfect&quot;!</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheerio, Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
