How about black? I love the matte black with the edges sanded back a bit to show the original wood. Just a light sanding first, then black primer and the top coat, finishing with a waxing of Briwax, would be quite easy. Not sure if you have white painted pieces in your home Ulrike so although that's another option, I think you may enjoy black more if you prefer natural wood tones.<br />Whatever you decide, you can't go wrong with such an amazing freebie!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147410299194282171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-202962061904917598.post-73327582504223824742010-01-14T20:10:28.632-05:002010-01-14T20:10:28.632-05:00what a treasure!!!

Wish one of my neighbors would throw away something as nice. <br /><br />I found a painting of lilies on the curb years ago. I framed it and it is still hanging in my office.<br />MarnieRoses and Lilacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121676379580186489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-202962061904917598.post-60758129504840093502010-01-12T20:52:32.523-05:002010-01-12T20:52:32.523-05:00Now that is a goldmine of a find.
