We bought a nice unfinished alder bookcase and are painting it white to match a desk that we just bought. We've been using an Easy Living Latex paint that was color matched and recommended for us by someone at Osh. On another question, someone suggested that latex paint is not a good choice for furniture and that we should've went with an oil-based paint. Can latex do a decent job? Should we switch to an oil-based paint? Assuming, we switch to an oil-based paint, do we have to sand off every bit of the latex paint and primer? Or can we just paint a coat of oil-based paint on top of the existing coat of latex? Is there a book I can buy that will explain things like this to me?

Found in garbage , immaculate condition , 5 piece stackable , 3 glass front , slide-in doors , any clue on value?

We bought an antique bookcase and later discovered it has bugs in it. They are eating the wood and leaving little piles of sawdust. They are very small and brown with little wings - they sort of resemble weevils. (I do not think they are termites.) How do we kill them? Do we have to get rid of the bookcase? And, are we in danger of them spreading to other pieces of furniture or our hardwood floors? Please help! Thanks.
