Look away if painted furniture makes you shudder.....

A nice 2nd hand, vintage side table.

This was needing either to be stripped, stained and re-varnished...

Or painted a toasted almond color, which is exactly what I had on hand.

I think paint helps to define carvings.

This has 6 beautifully turned legs.

Nothing but paint was required to bring out its beauty.

This spot was getting too dark anyway.  Ahhh, a fresh coat of paint does wonders.
