Not sure this is the right place....

Hiiii!!
New Mum here worrying about the world!
Not sure if right place to post but...
I have my Nans old wardrobes which are white (or were!) they are very old, but lovely three piece unit, would love to make them whiter and possibly use in the nursery for new baby, as I won't part with them and will also free up room/save some money. I know my nan would of been very happy to see this also :)
Any ideas of improving them?
The white is not like painted (it's a bit like chip board?!) so don't think sanding is an option.
Thanks for reading, if it made any sense at all! 😂 x

I would definitely use them! The price of 'nursery' furniture is ridiculous - it's a con!
Do they need to be whiter? Can you try painting somewhere inconspicuous? If not you can get fantastic stickers/ decals for nursery so you could customise them?

That's a really good idea thanks!
There's just some stains and sun damage in places that I would like to fix but generally in Good nick x

I'd sand them back and paint with chalk paint my friend done that with her nans and they look great.

It's like chipboard the white not sure it would sand?
Not the best of pictures...

I haven't done it myself but I've heard the 'sanding' is finely scratching the surface to give a key - something for the chalk paint to grip to. It's not sanding back in the sense of removing a layer.

Good luck, lovely project

You don't really need to sand if you use chalk paint.
