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



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.
