Z on Oct 30, 2015Such a shame you feel the need to paint antiques, but they are yours. I would add light with strategically placed mirrors and full spectrum lighting along with lighter area rugs and off white walls. Possibly slipcover the upholstered furniture in light fabrics.Helpful Reply

Marion Nesbitt on Nov 01, 2015Would hesitate to paint antique furniture. You may love this home right now, but it may not be a forever home. There are options. Lighter walls, mirrors, and wonders can be done with lighting.Helpful Reply
