Furniture Refinishing

[username]

You did a great job, User. Come and paint the TV armoire in my bedroom. I just painted my nightstand. It was a lovely, dark wood and I went to white with grey drawers, maybe you can paint the armoire to match. Thanks!

Sounds good; I'm ready to do another chalk painting project if you'd like it done that way.

One of my problems, as evidenced by the surfboard ride on my table, is moving the furniture around. I can't sit around all day waiting for my husband's help. Even when he's here I have to pry him off the couch to give me a hand. I do all the sanding outside my garage (for obvious reasons), then I bring the pieces in when they're ready. I'm hoping that chest...once I take the drawers out, it will be possible for me to move everything in and out as I go. Then there's the rain. It's great for keeping dust down but ya' can't sand in it...I could paint that thing. Or chalk paint it. Something that doesn't involve stripping it down to bare wood but I dunno. Unless you do something interesting like you did with your side table, paint can be boring. And the furniture in that room is generally dark if I want to keep with the color scheme. I've heard maple doesn't take a dark stain easily though....

Never mind me, just thinking out loud.
