How to fix a bad paint job?
+3
I paid someone $700.00 to do a bad paint job on a set of antique French Provincial bedroom furniture from Henredon. I love the new colors but the paint job is horrible. She painted the natural wood on the inside of the drawer and painted over the scroll work on the outside. What can I do to make it look good again?

You may have to strip it off and do it again.
I just got a quote from a furniture refinisher and he wants $3000.00 to do each piece! Holy sticker shock batman. I think I'll keep it the way it is and curse the woman every day for the rest of my life!!
Can you post some photos and what you don't like about the paint job?
If you stay upset that long it will cut your life short. Pictures would help, as William mentioned. For half the price of the refinisher, they should make a house call. I am speaking sight unseen regarding what is actually necessary to redo the work.
Post pictures, there are lots of people out here to guide you. So sorry this happened, and use it as a learning experience. As Phillipcardjr stated, all the negativity is not good for you health wise. It can be fixed!
Here are some pictures, but they really don't show the brush strokes, the dents and scratches she installed when hauling it and so on. The yellow pictures are of the furniture in it's originals state. They gray/white are in the refinished state. I love the colors of the refinished, but not the quality of the work--it's coarse and full of brush strokes, brush fibers, thin spots and peeling paint.
