\n\"Materials
\nMaterials:<\/strong>
\nA “seen better days” furniture item (We upcycled two matching chairs and a small round table)
\nPaint (We used Lemon Burst T17-20<\/a> and Shades On T17-10<\/a>)
\nPrimer (We used KILZ2 Primer)
\nPaint Brush
\nPaint Roller
\nPaint Tray
\nDrop Cloth
\nFabric (optional)
\nHot Glue Gun (optional)
\nScissors (optional)
\nStep 1: Prep your furniture<\/strong>
\nUsing sand paper or a sanding block, sand down the previous finish and any uneven surfaces. Once the furniture feels smooth, wipe away any existing dust from the surface with a damp paper towel.
\n\"A
\nStep 2: Apply Primer<\/strong>
\nPaint your furniture piece with primer. Doing so will ensure the new paint color adheres properly. Allow to dry completely before moving on to step 3.
\n\"A
\nStep 3: Paint<\/strong>

Chair color: Lemon Burst T17-20<\/em><\/p>\n

Table color: Shades On T17-10<\/em><\/p>\n

Step 4: Reupholster your fabric (optional)<\/strong>
\nIf your furniture piece has a cushion, consider further updating with new fabric.  First remove the cushion from the furniture pierce.  Lay your fabric flat on the floor (pattern side down) and place the cushion in the center. Cut a four inch boarder around the cushion in a the same shape.
\n\"Chair \"Cutting
\nWith your hot glue, glue along the edges of the cushion and fold the fabric over the glue. Repeat this process for all four sides to cover the cushion.
\n\"Adding \"Wrapping
\nDart the corners and secure to the cushion with an additional application of glue. Reattached cushions to the furniture piece when done.
\n\"Wrapping
\nStep 6: Place your revived piece in its new home<\/strong>
\nAdd some coordinating details and celebrate a new life for your old furniture.
