What methods and type of paint do you recommend for your furniture?

Response to Pat:
Pat,
Many of our stores are privately owned so I can not speak for them all. However, most of the Wood You stores carry a milk paint (waterbased) product. These milk paints are easy to apply and dry very quickly making them perfect for our furniture and customers who are always looking to finish their projects as efficiently as possible. Typically with the milk paints you would want to then apply a polyacrylic (waterbase) topcoat. The trendy colors today are black and white although there are many different earth tone and bright colors to choose from.
As for my personal preference I love distressing furniture . . . of course with three kids that distressing can be done naturally as well :) Stop by your local Wood You Furniture store and allow them to show you the wide variety of colors and painting techniques available.
If you ask, I am confident, they will let you play with the product in the store prior to purchasing so you can get a feel for the products and just how easy they are to apply and achieve that professionally finished look. Have a great week and please come back and let me know how it worked out for you!
