Add a coat of spray paint

It may be the most straightforward approach, and nothing beats a coat of spray paint. By selecting your favorite paint color, you may express your individual style. Whether you want to spray outdoor or indoor furniture, there are specific formulae for both. They'll transform your old furniture into your new favorites. 

Start by scrubbing the dust or garbage from your object (wooden dining table, dining chairs, wardrobe cabinet, drawers, or antique dresser). Allow your furniture to dry completely before beginning the spray painting procedure. To ensure your safety, wear rubber gloves and a painter's mask.

Make this procedure happen outside on a drop cloth, and then start spraying. Make sure your strokes are as even as possible and free of dripping.

Try refinishing furniture

Instead of stripping your furniture, consider refinishing it. Although it may appear to be a difficult task, we will provide helpful hints for cleaning, repairing, and restoring finishes.

Start by wiping on some mineral spirits. You will be able to see how your furniture will look in the end as a result of doing so. Clean the surface and apply an oil-based wipe-on finish to the side table and end table if you opt to refinish your piece, cleaning a piece of furniture properly is an important part of any restoration project. Dish soap and water can be mixed in equal parts. Scrub the surface gently, then rinse and dry! Apply petroleum jelly to the white ring and leave it alone overnight.

If there is any scrape paint, it must be removed without causing damage to the finish. When scraping the paint, keep these tips in mind:

• For your blade, wrap it in masking tape and bend it into a curved shape;

• Remove small and thin layers of paint at a time, keeping the blade perpendicular to the surface.

Choose some ‘milk paint’

Milk Paint is non-toxic and comes in a huge variety of colors. It looks great on both finished and unpainted wood.

Milk paint has a speckled appearance. It's easy to get a 'chippy' distressed effect, so it's no wonder that it's popular for old looks. Within minutes, you can transform your chair frame, dresser, drawer, or even folding table.
