I am trying to find out if I can refinish a wardrobe that I bought. It is made of particle board? It is one of those cheap self-assembly pieces of furniture that I bought at Walmart. My house is Southwestern and I m trying to give it a lighter rough wood look. Is this possible?

The right materials, the right technique, and anyone with a little talent and a lot of enthusiasm can work wonders.

Here's a web site I visit from time to time dealing with faux (fake) finishes - I enjoy it and learn something new on every visit.
