Darryl Carter gives some of his top paint tips:
White Rooms Allow Antiques To Feel Modern - A beautiful antique piece of furniture could very well be lost in a wallpapered room.

Use White To Create Contrast - White walls can be the very best color to showcase primitive architectural elements. The truest white can give a room a modern touch allowing antique wood furniture to shine and shed light on it's beautiful texture and patina.
Revamp Old Pieces With Paint - “I have redefined so many things in my house with a coat of paint,” says Carter.
