Painted furniture is the true enemy of many antique lovers.

like me. I HATE stripping paint off furniture.

No antiques really; some old stuff, but mostly it was panelling and a dining room table. Wait, I forgot, the piano's not painted. - landbeck Feb 12, 14:09 3

  - I think antiques is a different argument; usually wood-painting involves painting structural (exposed beams) or paneling wood. -- (link) - landbeck Feb 12, 14:14 1
    - If it's knotty pine, paint your heart out. I once looked at a bedroom set that was painted antique white. When I found a chipped spot, turned out - loosilu Feb 12, 14:16
