[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 78168, member: 85"]Painted furniture is a fad that will eventually pass. I have my MIL's avocado painted 1930s cedar chest. During the 1970s painted furniture was the fad. Underneath would be a lovely veneered chest. I'm afraid the stripping will ruin the glue holding the veneer. If you do decide to paint, I would do as Brad suggests, just paint the frame work, and leave the veneered drawers original. Maybe not white, but a soft latte color.[/QUOTE]
