I can't believe I didn't know this glorious furniture painting tip! I cannot tell you how many pieces of oil base painted furniture I have sanded to the bone. And if you have done that before you know, it is no small task! I only paint with latex products to preserve my health and the health of my clients. I use a glossy polyurethane if I want the deep luster look of oil based paint. All that to say, am I the only one who didn't know that you can paint any piece of furniture with oil based primer and then follow it with oil OR latex paint? Not sure how I missed that, but am pretty sure it will shave years off my life. Thought it was worth sharing. So, if you have a fabulous vintage piece to refinish, you can hit it with oil based primer and then paint away with that safe latex, non toxic non
VOC paint!
And while we are at it. Look at this cutie pie room I have been designing. These paisleys will be gigantic. Maybe three to a wall.
I feel the need to preface this next statement with the fact that I buy all organic, no hormone added, no dye added food from Newflower Farmer's Market. However, tomorrow is Whataburger's Bday and if you wear orange you get a free burger. Just sayin.
