Furniture quality painted finish

I found this dresser on craigslist that I am going to see tomorrow....

I know that it's an antique and mahogany is a pretty sought after wood but all my furniture is stained wood and I really want to paint it.

The linked photo below is from the June 11 issue of Southern Living and the small blue dresser in the corner is the look I am going for.

I really want the dresser to look as though it hasn't been handpainted by the homeowner.

Any advice? Could I take it to a cabinet maker or car painter? How much would that cost?

Could I achieve it myself with a paint sprayer and a conversion varnish? I have no experience with this product whatsoever but heard it was the best choice for a quality cabinet finish.
