My mamaw bought me a bed last year. It's a very dark wood. I'm not good with wood colors, so...I wouldn't know what it is. It's not cherry:) However, it clashes with the wooden doors on my closet. They're a lighter, brighter, more golden color. I have to keep the bed...she was so happy to buy it for me, but I'm thinking about painting or staining it. Is there an easy way to do this? Should I just paint it white so it matches everything and when I move I won't have to worry about it? Also, I recently left my high paying job to ...not work ...and go to school...so money is definitely an issue.

If you want to paint it, 1st find out if it is an antique or not doing anything to such would not be very good. But if it is and you dont care here is what you do,, For Paint, you need some fine sandpaper to rough up the surface a bit all the surface to be painted, prime it and paint it. For stain if tou want to cahange the color you need to stip the old stain off be careful those chem are dangerous, and several thin coats till u reach color desired

Painting woodwork requires a slightly different technique than covering the walls and ceilings does. In general, this means filling any cracks and holes and then sanding the surface.
