Easy! Just refinish all the other furniture to match the radio!

Either that, or bring home a radio that _can't_ be refinished, say, for instance, a nice chrome Scott set. Or a metal Atwater Kent.

Or sneak it into the house when she's not around, and if she notices, just say it was one you already had - you're just reorganizing and dug it out again.

But seriously. I'd just try to explain that it's not a good idea to refinish a radio to match the other furniture. Not only is it going to be bad for the radio, but it's pretty boring if all your furniture is the same color. I mean, who has furniture that matches anyway?

Or, if she still won't budge, just get a big wooden wardrobe/cabinet thing with doors, stain it to match the furniture, and put the radio inside. Say it's a vintage entertainment center cabinet.
