    Antique without stripping
    I have an older dresser that has been in a child's room that is a pale yellow. I am moving it to a different room but want to make it look antique. Does anyone have advice on how to make this piece look older without stripping the existing paint? Thanks for your time.

    Hi, blr125!

    I'm sorry that no one has yet come along to address your question! How would you like it to look antique, please? There are a number of different ways that could be done. One, common way, would be to distress the wood. Another way might be with applying light strokes of gold or other color of paint in random patterns on the existing finish.

    Thanks!
