Your best bet would be to consign it to a local auction house. that way the buyer determines what to ask.\ Linda C

My sister has some old oak bedroom furniture that is chunkier than yours (1980's) and she painted it a dark brown/black. It looks amazing. She had it painted at a body shop with car paint because it should last another couple of decades. She changed out the hardware and replaced the mirror that sits on the dresser like yours. I can't remember if she just removed all the wood from the original and reframed it with molding or if she got a new mirror. Her "new" bedroom furniture looks like it just stepped out of a pottery barn catalog.

les, my post disappeared that I wrote to reply to you and it has been 20 minutes so I will reply again. If you were in person at my home and was in my bedroom, you would agree that the set up I have now is optimum for my bedroom furniture and viewing of my TV and being able to turn on the lamps with the light switch since both lamp switches around the bed are affected by the light switch on the wall when one enters my bedroom. The most important reason for the Armoire with the TV to be by the windows closest to the wall entering the bedroom is because the cable outlet is on that wall behind the double dresser. I like my TV to be catty corner to be able to see the TV when I am folding laundry on my bed standing up. I like to watch HGTV for decorating ideas and a few TV shows I enjoy like Grey's Anatomy. To have a long cord wrap around my room would not be good for when I vacuum and it would make my TV even slower in switching TV channels and turning on. I love my new Toshiba LCD TV Panel but it is slow. Next, I like being able to switch on both lamps when I am doing laundry at night by switching on the light switch. That light switch on the wall when I enter the room controls the light switches on the sides of my bed the way it is now. I had to put in an extension type of cord (using a surge protector that has a long cord) to the wall behind the chest of drawers for my clock radio to be plugged into to prevent it from being turned on and off accidentally. I also like facing the door when I sleep for safety reasons in case I hear noise and want to see who it is. Finally, I like the way a bedroom looks when I walk in the room and the bed is on the wall I am looking at. I do wish my bedroom was two feet wider and three feet longer but I am lucky it is not smaller so at least I was able to figure out how to get all that furniture in my bedroom in a light color to not overwhelm the bedroom. I also think the triangle cathedral ceiling and the wall windows opens of the room some despite it not being too big for a master bedroom. I think the size of the pieces of the Durham Furniture look nice in my bedroom. I loved the Stanley Furniture bedroom set I had for a week but the pieces were big for my bedroom I can see now and I only could fit a night stand in that corner to put a TV on which allowed me no room for a VCR or eventually a DVD player. If my bedroom was bigger, I would have liked a chair next to my dresser by the light switch to put clothes on for setting up what I am wearing the next day. Since I do not have the room, I put a clear tiny hook over my door for this purpose and it is working out fine. Thanks for admiring my new furniture again. Do you like the Ivory Cream shades on my Satin Brass Lamps? Remember I used to have mismatched lamps there with one table lamp in a brass and ivory finish with a white lamp shade that was very old and the gold plated material was chipping and one floor lamp silver with a white and cream lamp shade. You can check out the link under the Stanley furniture since I still have those pics available for the public to see. I had wanted crystal lamps but I saw these lamps on sale at JCPenney and thought they looked so pretty and had thought the ivory lamps shades would be a white ivory and not a very yellow ivory. I do love the satin brass finish on the lamps a lot but do you think crystal lamps would look nicer? les, my post disappeared that I wrote to reply to you and it has been 20 minutes so I will reply again.

I just finished setting up the 3-drawer Tarva chest today. Haven't decided how to paint it yet. Imo, it's a solid piece. Nothing's budging and it's heavy. The untreated pine makes it easy to customize as well. I've had plenty of Ikea pieces over the years and have always been pleased with the quality for the price. Their drawer hardware is awesome for the price. Didn't have a look at the Tyssedal in store so can't comment on that line. One thing I adore about Ikea is their easy returns. Keep your receipts and you'll have no grief. From the Ikea Canada website: "IKEA No-nonsense return policy It's OK to change your mind You have 365 days to return your purchase.
