The fun and simplicity of painting furniture.

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)

You know something you can do if you got some creativity and even a little love of painting? Paint furniture!
Its affordable, stress releiving, and fun!

Go to a local thrift shop, trash pile, or your own home to find boring little pieces that could use a new life, a second chance, if you will, which you should. Wooden furniture works best, unless you know what youre doing. The best paint for the job is the throw-away jars at Lowes or Home Depot or Wallyworld. When paint is mixed wrong, it is sold off to the side for like a dollar. It is high quality paint, and will require only one or two coats.

Here's a little side table i had in my room. It got jazzed up while i was home alone last week. The top was all scratched to heck so the wooden patches i left, i used to showcase the best looking areas of wood underneath.

After the painting is complete, id recommend spraying it all down with a clear glaze.

Happy painting!
