<p>[QUOTE="Barbara W. Preston, post: 1897586, member: 13943"]I cannot imagine why you would want to paint this beautiful piece. Painted it would get paint chips on the edges, scratches on the top, finger nail marks around the pulls and handles; and then, what would you have? A piece that you would be ready to discard or have to paint again. As it is,you might get some wear as mentioned above, but those can be easily cleaned up and you will still have a beautiful piece.</p><p>If it doesn't seem to blend in with your decor, put a table scarf in colors that fir your decor, a vase and flowers that bring in the decor color, and/or pieces of collectible glass or porcelain figurines on the top. With that mirror your decor colors will flow through out the room or area. I've even see people open a drawer a little way and then let a corner of fabric or a quilt that fits your decor hand out. There are so many ways you can make that wonderful piece fit into your decor without painting it and ruining it forever!</p><p>Barbara[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
