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?

I am buying a bookcase with rugged Baltic birch construction that has a smooth UV finish. I want to repaint it to light pink color to match her room. What is the easiest way to do it, please advise.

I have a tall bookcase that requires a ladder. Where can I find one online? I have searched eBay and Yahoo and have found nothing. Ikea sells them, but we don’t have any Ikea stores in my state, and if I order one from their site, they will charge me over $300 just to ship it. If you know of an online store that sells nice, reasonably priced ladders for use with bookcases, please let me know. Thanks!
My town doesn’t have a Home Depot either.
I’m looking for something like this that doesn’t have to be attached to a wall:

What kind of wood eater causes this and how do I get rid of it? Anything I can buy in the shop? Not really a job big enough for professional pest control.

eg signed copies, childhood specials, or just good old novels that mean something to you.

We just picked up a wooden book case from my girlfriend’s father’s basement. He smokes, has two cats, and his basement generally has a musty smell to it. The wood just absorbed the air; there’s no mold or anything. We brought it back to the apartment, and I was hoping that the scent would just kind of clear up. Is there any way to speed this process along?

They used to sell it in LX direct and before that Additions. I think Next sell a small version but I want the full size one.
I think it is by Cinemix but it could be made by other brands.
