10 Furniture Painting Mistakes and How to Prevent and Fix Them (PART 2) - #42


Listen Later

(PART 2 of 2) - Imagine you’re painting wood furniture: an amazing, gorgeous dresser that belonged to your grandmother….and only minutes after painting it a beautiful soft white paint, it starts to turn yellow. Or you’re about to finish painting your oak dining room chairs and realize that you have messy paint drips down the backs (and even worse–they paint has already dried!)

Painting wood furniture results in mistakes like these all the time. It’s happened to the best of us. Your goal is to replicate the the silky “brush-stroke free” surfaces you see splashed on the pages of HGTV magazine. But your painted furniture pieces always have streaks and paint drips; it looks like your 5-year-old grandson painted it. What gives?!

In this podcast (PART 2) I’m going to walk you through the other 5 mistakes from the total 10 common furniture painting mistakes you’re likely to encounter when painting wood furniture (and how to fix and prevent them!). Be sure to listen to PART 1 in Episode #41!
