Expertise
Hi..I can answer most questions about the repairing,stripping and refinishing of all your old furniture and wood items(the things we call antiques)I can give advice about what to buy/avoid at auctions/flea markets. I do not give appraisals on antiques.

Experience
I have been refinishing antiques for the past 30yrs. While I have taken several courses over the years,I have found that "hands on" learning is the best teacher. Perhaps I can help you avoid some of the mistakes I made while learning.

Cabinets, Furniture, Woodworks - Old Dresser

Question
I have an old off white Formica dresser which i would like to paint into a dark oak color what would you recommend me to do? What kind of paint would i need?

Answer
Hi Irene.
Nice to hear from you.
First give the dresser a light sanding with 120 grit sandpaper.
Then I would use waterbased acrylic paint.
Make sure you use a good paint brush for a perfect paint job. Ask when you buy your paint for the proper brush.
This will be a great project.
Kind Regards
Eileen
