Finishing Furniture

I've also finished painting more furniture. Some good friends who recently moved gave us a side table, coffee table, lamps, rugs, and a chair. When I said the previous room mate took everything, I wasn't kidding.



This round I made a mistake. I read somewhere that spray painting is easier, cheaper, and faster than using a brush. Not so! Even after sanding off the top layer, the paint refused to stick to the wood. It bubbled and peeled, and my layers of spraying were less than even. So let us just say it took a few coats.



When the paint finally dried, I took the sand paper back to the tables and antiqued them. I'm quite pleased with it and when Steph and John came over to the house, they didn't even realize they were looking at their old tables!





The side table finished and in the living room.

I've discovered I really like painting furniture, so if anyone has anything that needs to be painted, I'd be more than happy to offer my services.
