2. Yes, as long as it's ventilated. We painted our whole house during my 2nd tri. I was fine to do a few rooms. It did start to smell once we were in the process of several rooms(It was 2000 sf of interior paint + trim) - at that point, I let H finish it over Thanksgiving weekend and gave it a few days to air out. (We weren't living here.)

1. Not Billy, but I've painted other Ikea furniture. It was totally worth it. Prime well with a blocking primer like Zinsser or an oil-based primer, though. Ikea uses cheap wood and the sap/oil will eventually seep through paint if you don't. (Says the person with a hutch with strange blotchy tan spots. Older and wiser, man. Older and wiser.)
2. Never been PG. Can't say for sure, but I don't see why not.

I have zinsser at home right now - do you think it worked just as well as an oil based primer?

Had I used it, yes, I'd say it would have worked as well. LOL
