The shop won't give me a quote over the phone, so before I hassle with bringing it to the shop, does anyone have a ballpark figure of what this costs? Anyone out there had this done before? I'd love to hear from you! Obviously I know the cost will differ depending on the piece being painted and the geographic area, but I'm trying to get an approximation so when they quote me a price, I'll have some frame of reference. Are we looking at $100? $200? Less? More? I have NO clue.
My inspiration.
While I would love to say I am as talented as Jenny at Little Green Notebook in the campaign furniture painting department, I have neither the time, the space, nor the patience to undertake such a large task! Any thoughts are much appreciated.

I'm going to guess it's on the side of not cheap, only because a million years ago, there was something in Martha Stewart about lab cabinets as kitchen cabinets, and I recall the mag suggesting auto body shops as a source for painting. No offense, MSL, but often you don't have the least expensive solution.
That said, if you could take out a drawer and bring dimensions and a photo, maybe it would save you a trip if they demand seeing it in person. Good luck! What color are you thinking?
If you're in the market for more campaign style furniture I just came across this great set on Craigslist D.C. Only $49 for both pieces!!! If only I had space!
