How to tell if you need to repaint that thing.

Maybe you are new to the furniture refinishing game, and you don’t know how to tell if an item is in need of a new paint job or not.  Don’t you worry.  I’ve created a handy questionnaire to help!

Does This Thing Need a New Paint Job:

1.  Is the entire item painted in one heavy coat? Knobs, hinges, keyholes, insides of drawers included?

2.  Does the paint have obvious drips and globs?

3.  Super obvious?

4.  Like, an angry 3-year old probably painted it?

5.  With his bare hands?

6.  Are there visible strands human hair stuck in the paint?

If you answered yes to any and/or all of these questions, congratulations!  Your item needs a new paint job.

Stephanie knew right away that she wanted to repaint her old vanity that had all of the problems listed above.  But she went above and beyond simply painting … see for yourself.

 

 

Isn’t that pretty?  It’s gift wrap applied with a homemade modge podge!  The knobs from Hobby Lobby were a splurge, but worth it.  Beautiful job Stephanie!  See more on her blog  Attic Angel.
