[QUOTE="uriema40, post: 973532, member: 12215"]I like to watch clips on youtube...sometimes Dr. Lori, but also other people's personal experience with antiques and vintage items. I've seen that some were commonly painted like you say but others not...and some feel it is disrespectful to paint antiques. (Does straw and wool for seat padding help date the chair?) I've never really painted furniture, but I'd love to start and since my newly acquired chairs ($5 each) don't seem like high quality wood, I assume it should be fine. I also have a table I bought about 2 years ago. If you don't mind, I am attaching it so you can tell me what you might know about it...or should I start a new thread? The only markings I found underneath were some numbers and MAH--which I think might mean mahogany... Sorry...still lots of questions because I am still learning. Thanks Judy:)[/QUOTE]
