Getting the gunk out of the details wasn't easy. I thought that maybe a toothbrush would've been easier. I was just using a small putty knife. I've been using Kilz spray primer for the chairs and filing cabinet. But I used Zinsser oil based on the bookshelves since they are laminate/particle board. However, not all laminate is created equal. The black bookshelf scratches much easier than the brown one. It would've been better to sand it first, but I didn't. I didn't end up spray painting the bookshelves. I brushed on the primer and started to spray paint, but I decided to just use my foam roller and semi-gloss white paint.<br />Here are some blogs that give good advice on this: www.allthingsthrifty.com, and www.centsationalgirl.com.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789966257611698993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875692523487107267.post-78986622640102478372011-04-29T13:36:50.827-07:002011-04-29T13:36:50.827-07:00I'd like some pointers on refinishing furnitur...I'd like some pointers on refinishing furniture. What stripper do you use? How do you get all the paint out of the tiny cracks on details like on those chairs? Do you use paintbrushes for your paint or spray? Is there a particular kind of paint you use?<br /><br />I'm hoping to redo a dresser in the next few months, but I've never done this before. Also, for your particle board bookshelves, you didn't sand first, did you? Just spray painted?brinestonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877140526716722611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875692523487107267.post-74636438859684668282011-04-27T15:12:53.887-07:002011-04-27T15:12:53.887-07:00I am dying to see the book shleves finished and t...I am dying to see the book shleves finished and the green paint glazed....Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227559584268414268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875692523487107267.post-74469128096881169252011-04-23T14:44:22.184-07:002011-04-23T14:44:22.184-07:00Super cute projects in the works. :) You are going...Super cute projects in the works. :) You are going to get addicted to glazing things...I have to do it on practically everything.

Okay, I am so proud you for the green filing cabinet. LOVE it. I think it would look good glazed too. And although I also love turqiouse... it's true we cant paint everything that color. I am worried about what advise I give you... it may end up here for all to see and hear. I am loving the look and feel of your blog. So classy and turquoise!! You are darling and I am loving all your changes. But one small request... TAKE IT EASY!! Gotta keep that little one cookin'. Can't wait to see and hold her though.<br /><br />xoxoxoxAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227559584268414268noreply@blogger.com
