I have acquired a mahoosive great dresser/display unit thing from Freecycle, it's mahogany veneer & kind of looms, ominously! It's got a drinks cabinet in the middle, which is lined with mirrors & etched glass doors either side - your gran probably had one in her front room
Anyways... I got it thinking that I'd paint it & make it all quirky-beautiful but now I'm looking at it thinking 'umm...'
It's going to live in my (tiny) dining room which has a stripped pine table (I did that, ooh, get me!) & tatty chairs soon to be painted eggshell white. Also have an oak veneer sideboard thing.
Would it look odd if I painted bits of it with the same eggshell paint & left other bits mahogany?
I'd post a photo if I could work out how to do it on my phone :-/
