Title: I was told this furniture is gothic revival + added palor chair
Post by: greenacres on November 17, 2009, 09:52:59 PM: Is it totally ruined with the paint? If I restore professionally back to the pink wood it would be ruined? It's already chipping a little near the marble.

I'm not sure what you mean by "pink" wood or whether that was a statement or a question. Maybe you meant to type ...... "back to the pink wood would it be ruined?" ??? ???

I told my kids that the lucky one who gets my King Louis XVI piece might get me too - I might be creamated and put my urn inside it! :) As you can guess that made them "real happy"! NOT! (I was just kidding just love shocking them often!)
