  • Here's the "before" table - I found it by the side of the road, in a neighbor's trash pile.
  • After sanding and painting the table, I added a rag rug to the top, attached with a staple gun and glue on the edges.
  • Rug attached. Hank approved.
  • Using the "rags" from the rug for trim.
  • Glued the trim over the staples to hide them.
  • Trim glued in place. I used a hot glue gun.
  • Finished! It just needs a glass top. The rug top is too flexible to be a table top.
  • Another view of the finished table.
  • The table in its new home.

  • This is the dresser. I have had it more than 20 years. I have a matching taller one, but I want to use that for something else.

Painting: Can I use wall paint on old, finished wooden furniture?

I have an old laquered dresser and an old wooden twin bed that I want to repaint for my son's 3rd birthday.

I bought some teal and lime paint from the mis-tint rack at Lowe's, intending on using it on the walls. I also wanted to use it on the furniture so it all matches, but I want to make sure that it is going to stick. I have read about sanding and priming it first, but I would love to know if there is any way I can get around this step without buying any other special paint? ...»

I will try to post a pic later when I get home of the bed. I dont have one right now.
