I have a bookshelf my grandpa made and he would have said "Go for it" but my grandmother gave me a drum table (that I would ADORE painted) and I resist doing it b/c she would be MORTIFIED.

(Especially since your dad made others that he painted, I doubt he'd be offended.) I think maybe your colors have changed a little since the 90's when he made the cabinet for you, and it isn't a bad thing to paint it if you want. (I don't think so anyway, but then again, I paint all my furniture white, so I'm a little biased, I guess.)<BR/> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13907926.post-42989020078030990972008-05-22T20:09:00.000-07:002008-05-22T20:09:00.000-07:00I love your chintz teapot and the dishes from your...I love your chintz teapot and the dishes from your previous post.
