Totally lacking in decorating skills. Painted furniture used to be and perhaps still is popular. There were kits. You would apply the base coat of paint an antiquing glaze. I painted the molding with gold paint. You need to carefully remove all the wax from the furniture and lightly sand it.

Far as decorating skills, a painted piece would be an accent piece. Not all the furniture
