mmmmmmkay...before i go off to bed...

we have this perfectly ugly dining room suite...table, buffet, hutch (big arsed hutch). it's french provincial and it's off white...quite possibly the most *old lady* furniture i've ever slapped my lil ole eyes on.

it's laminated.

how does one go about painting laminated furniture? does one sand it somewhat, prime it and paint it? what about the tabletop? how does one paint it, and then not have it scratch and look worse than it did to begin with? it's kind of a fun set, if i could just figure out how to paint it, or had some idea as to what colors to use or *anything*...this mess has me stumped.

thanks much!
