Do I sound a bit defensive about painting wood? I have no idea why I feel like I have to explain myself away here about painting old dressers. I swear painting it was giving this ol' hum drum hutch a new life!
We snagged her up at the Goodwill Midnight Madness sale where everything was 1/2 off! Score!
I've had that lampshade made of slides for a handful of years, and I've always thought it would look good on a yellow table, in a yellow room, or just near something yellow...
Something yellow
Such fun! And my shower curtains came in the mail today. Never thought I would be giddy getting shower curtains in the mail! But, they are perfect and worthy of some serious excitement. Pictures soon!

ahhh, I feel the same way, I paint everything.
Why is wood so sacred anyways.
we have wood floors, and trim, so I feel like there is already alot of wood happening in our house.
do you have an electric sander? do you do all that? i have this big old retro styled hutch i found in an alley that i plan to paint but i need to take off the old finish first
I love it! I have wanted to find an old wood desk and paint it yellow for some time and now that I've finally moved my search for just the right furniture begins. What I am currious to know is if you use regular paint or spray paint? I have read in another blog how to use primer (KILZ) and spray paint (Krylon).
Glad to hear people like the way it turned out!
Ramsey, I don't have an electric sander, so I used a sanding block. The finish was worn down a lot already, but those sanding blocks are nice for the hard-to-get details as well as the large open spaces too.
Amber, I so wish I could just had over to see your new place! You'll have to post pics! For the paint I used a quart of semi-gloss paint. I used a small roller and I am so happy with how it turned out! Let me know if you go the spray paint route!
