| I have never painted furniture before but I have several pieces of furniture that I think would benefit from a paint job. I've done some research on how to do it technically - sand lightly (not all think this is important with a good primer), prime with something like Zinsser, maybe light sand again, then add several coats of latex paint. I welcome product recommendations.
So the first piece of furniture is in my daughter's room which will eventually be pink with beige animal print theme. Her dresser is kind of beige too with a marble top. Would like to do fun for her. She is 8.

Any idea what COLOR to paint it? The floor is cherry and the house is mostly reds and gold/beige. bench http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii615/sotodoge/bench.jpg view of foyer http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii615/sotodoge/foyer.jpg Last is this console in the living room. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii615/sotodoge/paintconsole.jpg Living room http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii615/sotodoge/LR1.jpg Any suggestions or tips you could give me would be much appreciated. |
