Question Bare furniture ideas

I recently purchased an unfinished wood computer armoire. I have decided to paint it rather than stain it. However, I am scared to do anything, thinking once it is done I may not like my choice in design. I want a hand painted/stencil detail on the panels and sides but do not know where to look for ideas. I remember water slip decals but cannot find them anywhere. I am pretty talented with a brush but do not want a "new" look. I am also thinking about using a dark moss green undercoat with a barn red top coat using milk paint, but I have never used milk paint before.

Any Suggestions?

I'd be leary of using milk paint - it's fairly permanent if you even get the idea of going back to wood. The same 'flat' look can be obtained using interior wall paint. The color combination, of course, is up to you.

Decals? Here are osme sources:

As far as ideas for stenciling, etc., try craft shops in your area. You might want to check with the Craftylady in the Crafts forum on this website.

Have Fun!
