Or maybe you found that great side table at a yard sale, and you just need some inspiration! Enjoy and be inspired by 15+ Awesome Furniture Painting Projects You Can Do!
Here are 15+ Amazing Furniture Painting Projects!
Let’s get started with one of my projects. I found a dresser on the curb and rescued it just before the trash truck arrived. With a little woodworking and fresh paint, the dresser now looks like new. You can read all of the details here.
Christy from Our Southern Home used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint to revive a $15 yard sale desk for her son’s room.
