Thanks again for your nice comments.
And Melissabell- I totally agree with you that sometimes it's nearly a crime taking paint to furniture, but on the other hand- better painted and reused, than tossed out.
If I hadn't seen people's before and after photos, I would probably have thought that this sideboard was too ruined to restore as well, and painted it instead.

And believe you me, my other half isn't thrilled either. He would be happy if he never saw another sideboard ever again.
But he has learnt to trust me over the years, and is starting to see beyond the current state of furniture, to what they can become.
