Painting: I want to paint my bedroom furniture. Do I have to strip it?

The furniture has a thin layer of varnish. I know it is thin because my daughter spilled nail polish on it and when I wiped it off the varnish and the color came off the drawer. I want to do it in a matte white/cream. Any suggestions? Thanks

Thrifted Dresser Turned Shabby Chic

I'm an avid thrifter. I go out about 3 times a week in search of the gem among the rubble. I've been looking for a dresser for a while now and on my 3rd jaunt to one of my favorite Thrift ...»
Stores last week I found this antique dresser, all wood, and dovetailed. The only flaws were the "dents" the employee said. If he only new......The roughness of the piece adds character. I took it home got immediate color inspiration from a flowered water color like print from a new throw pillow. I decided on doing two tones on the dresser and am thrilled how it all turned out.

Materials Used...

1. Miniwax Water-Based Wood Stain in Green Tea

2. Pantone Paint in the color Nude with a Satin finish

3. Knobs- Hobby Lobby 50% off.

To see the process, my color inspiration and a funny little story about my missing knobs check out my blog http://quirkycool.blogspot.com/2013/05/thrif...

Using a Quality Chalk Paint on Fabric..easier Than You Think!

Easy Rocking chair makeover. Use Shabby Chalk Paint to update outdated fabric for a fresh new look. Strong but flexible! ...»

Sorry this will be Short and Sweet guys.

Sprayed the fabric with a fine mist of water. (keeping the fabric slightly damp will help it stay softer than it would if you painted over it dry, just a mist or it will delay dry time!)

Painted with 1/2 water 1/2 peacock chalk-paint mixture. Only needed two coats...there is no reason to mist for the second coat because the first coat of Shabby Paints has already completely covered the fabric.

Sanded after the first and second coat lightly with a fine grit sandpaper to make it nice and smooth.

I used Shabby Shimmer in Pearl White for the stencil, stripe and as a glaze on the wood. That's it Easy Peasy!!!

Sooo comfortable! Not sure if this will be for Grandma's nursery or moms :)
