I want to paint white painted pine dressing table purple

I have had it for years. It previously belonged to my daughter and I have it now. It's white with a mirror and I want to paint it a deep shade of purple and maybe even do the drawers in differing shades of purple and pink. (maybe not)
Will it look a bugger? Am I being a hippie?
The rest of my house is pretty conservative - the usual greys and blues. It would be a 'pop of colour' as they say....
What do you think ?

Just a yes or no will do.😐

How sad will you be if it goes wrong? If very little or not at all, go for it and have fun. If a lot , maybe attempt first a lighter colour as practice, or just leave it be.

You know it will look hideous, but if you like it, go for it!

Well why ever not if it makes you happy. I’m very envious you have the time for a lovely craft project.

I painted a load of pine furniture white and loved it, if it's what you want then go for it. I think it'll look great as a pop of colour - not sure about doing all the drawers different colours, often best to keep it simple. You could do inside the drawers in a different colour though, that could look really nice when you open them.

I would love that! Purple’s my favourite colour ❤️ Just do it mate! Prepare carefully sending etc. Maybe some jazzy new handles for drawers. I found some beautiful ones for my repainted bathroom drawers - black starfish 🙂
