Paint or Not paint an old Baby Buggy
We have an old buggy/bassinet that's been in the family for a long time. I've never seen it. It's just come from my aunt (who slept in as a baby--and she's in her late 60s) who is downsizing and it's going to be used soon for my younger sister's baby (due in August).
Currently it's at a DIFFERENT sister's house in Kentucky and she says it's in remarkably good condition for its age. She said the body is much better than the wheels, which could use some paint, she says.
The buggy is ivory. Any thoughts as to whether she should repaint it the same color, or make it a crisp white, or just leave it as is? She has seen similar ones online for in the $400 range, so it's worth something monetarily, but we've no plans to sell it any time soon. (I may even use it when I have grandbabies in the next few years, Lord willing.) I just don't know if painting it would ruin the value? Or if it doesn't matter?
