Hello Linda :) Are you talking about wooden furniture, plastic furniture, painting the fabric/upholstery, or just the exposed framing? Are you thinking about actual apint or a revarnish/;acquer job? Do you want to use a paint with a shiny finish or a matte finish? Well, whatever it is, here is a link to a beginner's guide on how to paint furniture. This MAY be all you are going to need (and save it because there are some great links at the bottom of the page you might use in the future) ;) Good Luck, and if you need to know something more, please come back again :) Thank you for using HOMETALK as a source of information ;)

Chalk paint is my favorite too. It makes the whole job easier and it looks beautiful. I'd love to see how yours comes out, we're rooting for you!!
