I found this Thomasville TV cabinet at Goodwill! It is a solid piece and it took Mr. MD and 4 big strapping men from the store to get it loaded up on our truck. I bought it for my son in Birmingham and he said right away that it would look good painted black.
He's a chip off the ole block for sure. I started looking at the inside and all the parts and had a few conversations with myself about if I really wanted to paint it. But you know us Mama's, the things we do for our chillin'.
So out came the paint brush. I used SW 6991 Black Magic All Surface Enamel, the same paint I used when I painted all the interior doors last year. I painted right over the varnish...I sure did. The Mr. said, 'you're going to have to sand that' and I thought, 'ain't no way'! 2 coats and it looks good. I have decided not to paint the inside, will make sure all of the outside edges are painted. I may change my mind though, we'll see. Some of the shelves are on rollers and the 2 big doors slide inside. I'm telling you for $60 I scored. I'll do a follow up picture when it's all finished. I think it's about 150% humidity in the garage, really did sweat bullets!
Speaking of painting doors....got my rear in gear over the weekend and tackled the last 7 doors in the basement. I am officially finished with that project. I have black fingernails but they're in style and I'm not coming to your house and painting yours. :)
What projects do you have going on?
I'm impressed....painting in this heat! That was a steal!
ReplyDeleteOH Renae, what a deal! I think its going to look great painted black.
