I've stained furniture but only stuff that came unfinished. But that's a really nice looking dresser and I think painting would be pretty straight forward. Is it real wood? If so, I'd go for it (and get the preggo safe paint!) </p> prettylizy on "have you ever redone furniture?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-redone-furniture#post-573700 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:49:39 +0000 prettylizy 573700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've painted some wood furniture (coffee tables, book case and TV stand) and plan to do the same to our bedroom dresser eventually. Staining is a lot more work so I opted for paint. I found the people in the paint section of the hardware store were awesome and aple to help us with everything we needed. </p> Bao on "have you ever redone furniture?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-redone-furniture#post-573690 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:48:07 +0000 Bao 573690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: I think if you stained it the color of the crib, that would look good! </p> matador84 on "have you ever redone furniture?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-redone-furniture#post-572064 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 10:58:33 +0000 matador84 572064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm thinking about buying a used dresser from a furniture place here and redoing it for little one's room.</p> <p>either new paint or stain and fixtures.</p> <p>he currently has this crib in espresso:<br /> <a href="http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/kendall-fixed-gate-crib/?pkey=e%7Ckendall%2Bcrib%7C4%7Cbest%7C0%7C1%7C24%7C%7C3&#038;cm_src=PRODUCTSEARCH" rel="nofollow">http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/kendall-fixed-gate-crib/?pkey=e%7Ckendall%2Bcrib%7C4%7Cbest%7C0%7C1%7C24%7C%7C3&#038;cm_src=PRODUCTSEARCH</a>||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_-NoMerchRules-_-</p> <p>and this bedding:<br /> <a href="http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/alligator-madras-nursery-bedding/?pkey=e%7Cmadras%7C26%7Cbest%7C0%7C1%7C24%7C%7C3&#038;cm_src=PRODUCTSEARCH" rel="nofollow">http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/alligator-madras-nursery-bedding/?pkey=e%7Cmadras%7C26%7Cbest%7C0%7C1%7C24%7C%7C3&#038;cm_src=PRODUCTSEARCH</a>||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_-NoMerchRules-_-</p> <p>thoughts? share! </p> [attach=2081/13/mifb1m.600x450.3L63J93N45L35Ed5F2d2i28eab319f55914df.jpg]
