I'm not a mustar...PAINT IT, PAINT IT, PAINT IT! I'm not a mustard yellow kind of gal myself, but that piece will look gorgeous with a fresh coat of paint, regardless of color. <br /><br />I recently took a dresser similar to that, refinished the top with a Minwax stain and poly, spray painted the base in Rustoleum Heirloom White, replaced the existing knobs with glass ones, and converted it into a bathroom vanity. She's so pretty now! <br /><br />Since you have more modern tastes than I, check out primitiveandproper.blogspot.com. The gal who runs that site is a great source of color inspiration and often adds funky knobs to her furniture. <br /><br />Good luck!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304072850762753629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30212095.post-3900058545831454002010-10-18T18:59:50.534-06:002010-10-18T18:59:50.534-06:00Michelle, You forgot to tell everyone that it has ...Michelle, You forgot to tell everyone that it has already been mustard yellow and it was VERY UGLY!! I, as the aforementioned mother, do not care that you paint it but really--mustard yellow??!!<br />I don't believe it loved being that color in its previous life because it was definitely ugly. But as I told you--it is now yours and you do what you want with it. I will close my eyes when I pass it when I come to visit you! It is only wood--now if you were talking about painting Rigby mustard yellow and Porter puke green then I would be very worried. I love you!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30212095.post-90468157774542825252010-10-17T19:02:10.083-06:002010-10-17T19:02:10.083-06:00I say, DO IT!

(and because I am related to you--I don't think you should either!) Its just stuff!! And if you are going to love it yellow (which I know you are) then you should do it! And down the road if you get sick of yellow--then you can paint it black or whatever. I just don't think YOU will ever need it to be the plain wood color it is now. So stop debating and go get your spray paint! :o)Sharon@thisthriftyhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463510894735371211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30212095.post-58555731501547892742010-10-17T17:58:47.558-06:002010-10-17T17:58:47.558-06:00This is easy for mr to say because it is not mine(...This is easy for mr to say because it is not mine(if it was I;d be feeling tha same as you), but I say do it!

I would regret messing with an antique that had been in my family, but an antique I picked up somewhere I'd be more willing to paint. Then again, we've all seen beautiful antique pieces that some well-intentioned person messed with back in the 80s, and now it's just heart-breaking.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17727134068737387736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30212095.post-2111815866682790042010-10-17T05:50:00.483-06:002010-10-17T05:50:00.483-06:00I say unless your mom has some attachment to it th...I say unless your mom has some attachment to it the way it is, do it! If your looking at it all day everyday then you want to love it. Or else move it to another part of the house where it might work better and look for another old piece to redo.Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06260691779910980072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30212095.post-26558500675884557402010-10-17T00:46:10.941-06:002010-10-17T00:46:10.941-06:00I would have to think what I would want in the LON...I would have to think what I would want in the LONG run. Painting it would be fun, and I think it'll look great. However, I'm so cautious that if I ever wanted it back to what it is, how on earth would I do that? (without spending a LOT of money?) But that's me, I'm a worrier. I'm not trying to sway you either way... I'm really curious and excited to see what it would look like yellow... but that's what I think. :) Love you!vickynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30212095.post-51877573953671624162010-10-17T00:12:02.857-06:002010-10-17T00:12:02.857-06:00I don't know.
