The table.
The mirrors stays as is, it has a really nice aged peeling effect from being ... well, old..
(you cant see it in this bad photo, sorry for the quality)
But the table...
I say paint it white.
Soft chalky waxy white.
With a new handle.
Possibly glass.
Then the mirror would shine.
The other half says sand and stain or wax (he cant decide)
He wont be actually doing it but he's pretty insistent lol.
I bought it with "Slap some paint on the bargain find " in mind,
and besides that Id have to sand it properly and painstakingly carefully and I utterly detest sanding.
(way too many years of doing it has left me bitter and impatient)
What should I do?
What would you do?
All of the other furniture in this room is white.
Am I resisting the big job just because I hate it even though it would be best.
Have my instincts been 'blinded by the white'
Or is white really the best option?
