Underneaths….. do you paint them? Ya know…. when you are refinishing a piece of furniture and you know that no one will see underneath it (well maybe your cute little children) do you paint it? I’ve had this little curvy end table for my living room for quite awhile; it got a much needed coat of paint today. Do I paint underneath it?
I stopped at the D.I. (thrift store) yesterday to grab a gag gift and found this beauty…..
I’ve been looking for a coffee table for awhile to fill the awkward open space in my room. I dove right in and painted both of my tables as soon as the kiddos went down for their naps. My approach on painting was a bit different this time.
Yep, that’s my kitchen. It’s getting a little chilly here in Utah and the garage just didn’t make for a very comfy painting space. No worries. I’m using good ol latex paint so it didn’t fume up the house and I put my tables on old blankets so my floor didn’t get dirty.
I swore I had more paint trays but …. I didn’t and I was DETERMINED to get these bad boys painted. So I compromised by using….. TA DA paper plates! Awesome, I know, but they worked.
Hey, it all worked out and my tables got their lovely coat of off white. The paint dried much faster than it would have painting it in the freezing garage and they were done before the kiddos woke up! SCORE! The question is…. do you paint your underneaths? I didnt ;)
I’ll post the finished pictures soon. The tables just need a little distressing and glaze so they aren’t so stark white :)
