Lately for some reason I've been seeing people get upset about wood furniture being painted -( especially on Hometalk to be honest with you )There's a lot of beautiful wood furniture out there - I know that - some pieces leave me drooling at times ( not often because I truly love painted pieces ) so I kind of - sort of- get it - that it troubles some people to see a perfectly fine piece of antique or vintage furniture covered up ( and in their minds " destroyed " ) with paint.I GET IT - and so I never go to someone's site and say - YOU SHOULD PAINT THAT -And to those people - I say - NEVER paint a piece of furniture - it's obviously not for you - and you can, after all, do whatever you like with a piece that you own.But, there are, many many people out there that are very close to getting rid of a piece just because they're sick of looking at it - or because they've inherited it and don't like it very much - or they want to hold on to a piece for sentimental reasons but want it updated to fit the decor in their home because it just doesn't " belong " and then there are those that are thinking of the environment and don't want to put a piece in a landfill.These are the people I paint furniture for.

Some pieces should never be painted but others improve with paint. This one is an example of one that looks amazing after painting.
