I'm looking to refinish my bedroom dressers and nightstand. My plan is on plugging the holes left from the old hardware, sanding off the current finish, drilling new holes for the new hardware, and restaining it. What types of finsih should i look at? I want it to be black, but dont know what types of stain i should use and if i need to polyurthene it as well.

If you have a really stubborn varnish to get through, I would recommend chemically stripping the wood. If you're only planning on sanding the wood and not first stripping it, you'd better have some damn good equipment! If you just have a common orbital sander you're going to wear yourself out and not get very far in the process. If you have a disk or a belt sander you'll be able to remove the varnish a lot quicker, but then you have to be careful not to sand too deeply and ruin your piece. If your furniture has legs or any curved areas it can be hard to sand. You'll only need to lightly sand the furniture after using a chemical stripper, and then it'll be so smooth you'll want to get naked and wiggle on it! Well, maybe not... but you get the idea. Look for a chemical stripper that says "no clean-up" or washes clean with water. Definitely wear gloves and a mask.

What kind of paintings for bedroom with simple traditional furniture in light oak?
starryeyed
The bedroom set is plain, but has a traditional oak feel and tri=fold mirror.
Any ideas for an imagery theme, other than roses/flowers?
My man has no particular ideas for this room, so I don't have much input there...
Thanks!

A collection of family photographs in ornate oak frames might be nice. Children's artwork can also be framed to add a happy feeling to the room. You can frame just about anything. Frame several pieces of color coordinating fabric and hang in a cluster on the wall. Go to a flea market to scout for old picture frames of various sizes and hang in a group, one inside of the other. Or, take one large frame and hang on the wall. Paint your own picture directly on the wall inside the frame. Check out this web site for more bedroom ideas.
