Just Paint Something


Painting things is fun! You can dramatically change the color of an old, ugly dresser that you inherited from your blue haired aunt into a modern centerpiece. Better yet paint it once with an under color like black and paint it again with a top coat like cream. Then, take the sandpaper out and distress it! Voila! Shabby Chic! Tres beau, no?

Don't forget to sand and prime your furniture before putting that first coat of paint so that you get a smooth coat. And if you mess up, no worries, let it dry and start over!

And if you are really wild, buy some new cool cut glass knobs from Home Depot to replace those old brass ones. There's some bling for ya.

To start off that project, here's a free quart of paint by Glidden. Hurry, offer ends July 2. (Edit-sorry it had such high demand that they ran out. You gotta hustle with the good deals)
