Painting furniture makes a huge difference in the look of your home. I know many people who get rid of furniture because of the color, or because the finish is coming off. If it has a good shape to it and is a sturdy piece, refinish it. Look at my new bar stools. I snagged these puppies on the classifieds for $30 a piece, a steal because they are solid wood. I loved the ladder back look of them and knew that with a coat of paint they would look fabulous. And they do.
I painted them with some exterior Behr paint I had on hand. Then I put a polycrylic finish on them. I If I would've been more patient I could've waited until I had a place to spray them with the paint sprayer, but I wasn't patient and I wanted them done so I laid out the sheet in my kitchen and off I went.
I have been asked if white is a pain to keep clean, and the answer is yes. You definitely have to wipe them down more often than if it was a natural wood color. However with the finish on them it is easy to wipe off so I don't consider it a real problem.
I love my new stools!
