Yeah if I could have saved the original finish, I would have. But sadly, it was beyond hope. Which is why I didn’t feel bad doing what I could to ensure it had a second life.

It turned out so great! The blue and gold really suit the style of the piece, too. It’s got a nautical vibe with the hardware style and the rope moulding.
I’m with you. Not all wood is beautiful. And everyone has different taste. If this had been some rare antique that would make the Keno brothers swoon on Antique Roadshow that would be a different thing altogether. The handyman who was helping us with a few projects a few years ago was quietly appalled that I was painting the outside of our front door - but it was not pretty wood and it had an insurmountable amount of yellowed varnish on it.

It’s Mediterranean (blue teal), Heirloom Traditions All-In-One Paint I had such a good experience with it on my IKEA repainted dresser that I just used the same product! 
I already knew I liked the color and over a year later, the paint has held up perfectly on my IKEA piece so why not!

This is gorgeous. I know it’s a lot of work to refinish furniture but this turned out so beautifully that it was totally worth it.

It looks awesome! I love what you did with it.
Our apartment has a free section where people put stuff that’s not garbage but that they just don’t want anymore either. We’ve gotten some good stuff from there!

I love the color, especially with the gold. I think it looks better than plain wood.
