I really really really needed to paint some furniture! I have so many things in my home that need to be sanded and painted.
Like this
Garage sale magazine table $5
and this…
a bare wood table that I have had for probably 10 years
and this…
it’s not an antique so I don’t feel compelled to preserve it, and the dark stain is so not my style. I wish I could just paint the 1970’s lino too…
and these REALLY need painting
G.R.O.S.S - I am going to paint them black
this needs some life breathed back into it too…
That used to be one of those cute white washed pieces often found in the 90’s. My kids have destroyed it! Here is the end table that goes with it…
and this needs so lovin too
That was a stereo cabinet that I got many moons ago (about 8 moons ago to be exact) I want to paint it and put some fabric inside to cover all the photo albums and finger paint.
This needs updating too…
A cool garage sale find but not too pretty.
Finally… this…
I know, it doesn’t look too bad but it is fake wood with some awful stain on it and it would look better black.
Wow, I have a lot of work to do… I wonder if I will ever start these projects or just put them off for another decade?

I like this visual to do list… Might have to make one of my own and then I can cross them off… I am a HUGE list girl! Why is it that your painting project look more fun than mine??

I’ve got some sanding to do at my house, too. Wanna come over?
Seriously, I’m taking a small table that was mine some 30 years ago and refinishing it for Sam (well, maybe not refishinishing … maybe just taking the asbestos-laden paint off!).

that is a lot of projects to do. I really like things painted black and I think these pieces of yours would look great black.
Show us some pictures when you get done.
That stereo cabinet is just like one DH had when we got married in 1980, plus it had 4 huge speakers that went with it. i am so glad that most electronics are on the small side now.
