Antique dresser

Well, I am doing it! My husband will not be impressed, but I am painting our antique dresser.  What is it about Men?  They hate to paint wood.  Anyways, here is a sneak peek of the dresser....the "before".

I know it does not look like there is anything wrong with it the way it is, but the finish is coming off on the top, and also I am just tired of brown.  I just need a change.  Cross your fingers, I am nervous about this one.  NO REGRETS!
