<p>[QUOTE="johnnycb09, post: 78146, member: 27"]I guess we can agree to disagree on painting it. if it was a run of the mill one Id say paint away,but this one has such lovely contrasting woods itd be a real shame.In the 50s,Dorothy Draper made painting wood popular,then in the 60s-70s it was all about natural finishes. Then the 80s- 90s was all about distressed/shabby chic . Currently, painted is all the rage, BUT,I feel like natural finishes will come around again. If you want to sell it painting would probably help,but if you want to keep it and enjoy it,polish it up and enjoy the contrasting woods ! Just my humble opinion. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
