Answer
Try the following. It will take some time and carefulness, but it should help. Materials needed: rubbing alcohol, colored woodfillers, craft sticks or plastic knives, light-tack painter's tape, rottenstone, clear tung oil, manicurist's emeryboards (rough, smooth, super-fine) clean, soft, lint-free rags.
1) Use alcohol on cotton swabs to completely remove all crayon. 2) Use strips of extremely light-tackiness painters tape to mask off both edges of the scratches. 3) get quality brand wood filler (Minwax, Elmers) in shades as close as possible to the color of the drawer. Buy 2 or 3 shades with the red, yellow, brown values of the wood as you will need to mix them together. Using wood craft sticks or plastic knives mix up tiny batches of wood filler, combining the colors until you get one that is as close as possible to the shade of your furniture. 4) With a rag wettened with alcohol, slightly dampen each scratch (helps wood filler adhere) and using the craft stick or plastic knife like a putty knife, press a small amount of wood filler into each scratch, slightly under-filling each. 5. Let dry per instructions on wood filler. 6. Second coat each scratch with wood filler (no alcohol this time) until filled scratch is even with adjoining surface. 7) Let cure to "sanding time" per instructions on wood filler. 8) Use a manicurist's emery boards, start with rough, then smooth, then super-fine, to sand smooth (go in direction of scratch, g-e-n-t-l-y) until filled scratch feels almost as smooth as the furniture. 9) Mix up a small amount (1/4 cup) of rottenstone (available in small boxes in furniture finishing section of big box stores) with clear tung oil (Formby's or Dansk) and rub in direction of scratches. 10) remove masking tape and polish entire drawer front with rottenstone/tung oil compound. Wipe off excess with soft dry cloth.

White Fine Furniture (brand) bedroom set?

Steven F

My girlfriend is in the process of trying to sell some of the furniture that was in her moms house. She already sold her bedroom set for a few hundred dollars but her mothers bedroom set seems to be of a much higher quality and we are unsure as to what is is worth. The matched medium stained bedroom set is made by White Fine Furniture and includes 2 dressers 2 night stands and a headboard with book storage. All of it is very heavy telling me that it is a hard wood but I am unsure what wood it is. The quality of this stuff seems very high and most of the hinges are heavy piano style and the drawers have a nice heavy but smooth pull action to them. The set is 100% unscratched anywhere and in perfect condition. I did a little research via wiki on the company but finding any real info on the furniture they made is very difficult because of the name âWhiteâ just brings up white colored bedroom sets. Without seeing this set can you give me any idea at all what it may be worth given this info?
Yeah....that is what I did as per my comments on reading about the company on wiki.

Answer
I did a Yahoo! search for "White Fine Furniture Company" and came up with 98 results. By using the quotation marks in the search box, you will only get results that contain those four words in that exact order. Here is a link to a wiki article on the company:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_furniture_company

I'm betting that if you do the same search, you will find plenty of information that will lead to a reasonable estimate of value.

Good luck with your search for information.

How Would I Go About Selling My Bedroom Furniture?

Nikki

I have a very nice bedroom set, but its rather large and I'm looking for a downgrade. The furniture is in good shape, I just have no idea where I could sell it!

Are there stores specifically for this? I'm not even looking for a lot of money, I'm just looking to get the furniture off my hands for a decent price for its good condition!

How much does a girls bedroom set sell for?

bedroom set furniture image

Chiquitrix

The bedroom set includes a twin bed frame (matress not included), a nightstand with 2 drawers, and a desk with a pull out (for possible computer keyboard) and has 3 drawers. The bedroom furniture is all in white and has been used. What would be a rough estimate on what it would sell for? (craigslist)
Thanks in advance :)

Answer
Basic rule of thumb is: 1/4 of what it cost when it was new.

The actual cost when it was new will depend on the quality of the wood and of the construction. For instance, are the drawer joints dovetailed? Is it solid wood (and what kind of wood), veneered, or painted particleboard? There is a huge possible price range of what such furniture might cost.

Used white bedroom furniture set, as described. Assume the parents are not wealthy and didn't buy high-end furniture. Probably $100-125 value for the whole lot. Less for damage, staining, chips, etc.

What is a good store/website for a 21 year old woman to buy furniture from?

I want something pretty, not too young, but not too old. Something suitable for a woman my age. I want to buy a bedroom set. Please recommend any furniture stores or websites you think will help me in my search!

Answer
If you go to eBay, you can search for furniture that is within a certain mileage from your home. This is great because not only can you get great bargains on great furniture, but you don't have to pay shipping either. It is esp. perfect for someone of your age because you probably know plenty of strong, young men that will help you pick up the furniture and move it into your house for a few cases of beer. That sure beats paying moving costs! I decorated my apartment with fantastic Victorian furniture. It is all antiques from eBay that I had my friends pick up for the price of beer and a place to crash whenever they were in the city.

Original Question

Master bedroom furniture is traditional dark brown (new), what color can I paint walls?

Q. Bedroom furniture consits of King size bed, two night stands and nine draw dresser. Considering to have 50" TV over dresser, sitting area and include small kitchenette.

A. Hi!

Brown is a neutral color, so basically, you can paint any color under the rainbow with it... it all depends on what you like. There are a few things to remember though, and I have a few suggestions... Hope this helps:

To have complete color harmony in any room, you need to have 3 colors: 1 dominant color (usually the walls), 1 medium color (usually the trim, molding, ceiling, furniture, etc.) and 1 accent color (usually decorative accents such as cushions, vases, throws, etc.). You can use the same color as your funiture as you do on an accent wall or all the walls... it depends on lots of things like your lighting, but we'll get to that later.

In decorating, black and white are not considered colors. White is the absence of all color. That's why you can match it with any color under the rainbow. Black is the mixture of all colors. That's why it too, can be mixed with any color under the rainbow. It's not necessary to have any white in a room, but it is very important that you have at least one black item: a vase, a picture frame, a throw rug, a cushion, a curtain rod, a lamp, etc.... you get the idea). The black will ground ALL of your colors together. So don't forget to add something black in your room.

What color of brown is your furniture: Black-brown (as in very dark espresso coffee), dark chocolate brown, etc. Since you didn't say, here are some color schemes that work with different types of brown furniture. The way to use them is for the 1st color = dominant 2nd color = medium and 3rd color = accent. Of course, you can use them in any other way you like, thought the ones listed here are best together in just this way. (after, you'll get some links to some nice color inspiration).

Chocolate brown & Terra-cotta & Taupe
Chocolate brown & Metallic Gold & Neutral bisque
Chocolate brown & Delicate teal & Teal blue
Chocolate brown & Teal blue & Gernaium red
Chocolate brown & Brick red & Sky blue

Espresso brown & Soft Orange & Coffee with cream
Espresso brown & Aquamarine & Silver
Espresso brown & Blushing Pink & Silver
Espresso brown & Hot pink and Icy Silver
Espresso brown & Candy apple red & Graphite gray
Espresso brown & Cinnamon & Pale sky blue

Light purple & Teal Blue & Geranium red
Cream & Earthy green & Cinnamon
Gold & Copper & Brownish Taupe
Coral brown & Cream & Rich brown
Brilliant yellow & Lavender & Light brown
Orange & Burnt Orange & Brown
Gray brown & Red & Cream
Orange & Dark brown & Metallic gold
Golden yellow & Sky blue & Velvety brown
Aquamarine & Butterscotch gold & dark brown
Cinnamon & Dark brown & Sky blue

This part would have been easier if you would have given us the style of furniture you have, but the pics should help for color inspiration... I hope you enjoy this, because I certainly enjoyed doing the research for this. I LOVE doing this !!!! :)

So... hope that was fun...

The best and most trusted way to find the color for any room, is to take an accessory or decorative item that will be going into that room: the duvet cover, the curtains, a painting, a rug, blinds, shutters, upholstered furniture, a lamp... you get the idea). Choose the item with passion. Make it something that you ABSOLUTELY LOVE, perhaps it was handed down by your great-grandmother or a cherished item you worked hard for. Or make it something that just SCREAMED out your name when you were shopping, so you knew you had to have it! Choose your color pattern from that item. And take it from there.

Keep in mind too, that color is an amazing thing! There's psychology behind color - it can make you have wonderful, relaxing dreams... or it can keep you from falling asleep, especially if you're already a wound-up 6 year old little boy! It can make you feel warm and comfortable, or hot and stifled. It can make you feel nice, fresh and cool - or it can make you feel like parts of you are going to freeze off. Color can be your friend or your enemy. And really, the earth can "shed some light" on us to help decide every color scheme. Here's how:
What direction does your room face - North, South, East or West? It makes a difference. If you've got the sun pounding down on your bedroom window, you'll want to stay away from warm colors, such as reds, yellows, oranges, etc. They'll make you feel too hot. Opt for cooler colors, such as blues, turquoise, cool creams... think mediterranean beach style here. In a room facing North, that doesn't get much light, you'll opt more for warmer colors and brighter colors: yellow, bright pinks, golden hues. Here's a most interesting link about how color affects us psychologicallly:

That's all I guess... Hope I helped you choose your color ;-)

You're always welcome to email and I'd enjoy knowing what color scheme you chose...!

Original Question

Is there an Italian tradition about not ever replacing your wedding day bedroom set?

Q. My husband is Italian and for our wedding gift his parents bought us this huge bedroom set, well we have had it several years and the home we are moving into will not hold this big furniture. I want to sell it and buy more updated smaller things, he says it is bad luck and an Italian tradition to keep this first marriage set. Is this true, or some line of crap he's trying to pull not to upset Mommy?

A. I'm Italian too, and I never heard about such a tradition. Probably your hubby is just making this up because he doesn't want his parents to feel offended when they'll come to visit you in your new home and won't see the furniture they bought for you two...
