Here is the TV stand that we will be up-cycling today! This piece is perfect because of its flat surface so there are a ton options to choose when it comes to color and stencils! To prep any furniture, you are going to want to sand it down first. This is to get rid of any old chipping paint. Then clean off any dust or debris that could be in the way when painting!

The first step to painting is to always prime your furniture. So, if you do not have a paint with primer already added in like the one above, you can begin by using any primer. We always recommend STIX Primer. You can use a Cutting Edge Stencils for this step. Roll off any excess paint onto the paper towel and begin. You would let that dry for a good 24 hours and then you can begin to paint!

We can finally paint our , we dabbed a PPG Metallic gold color along the stencil. Always remember to rub any excess paint off the brush onto a paper towel. Minimal paint essential to avoid bleeding!

Once you are happy with the final design, you will let the paint completely dry! Then you can finally seal it with a protective finish. We used this Minwax water-based polycrylic! This is important to protecting the paint as well as your amazing design!
