Bougie Girl Univeristy:Building A Room On A Budget-Paint Is My New BFF

Before

After
Over the years, I have had a love-hate relationship with paint. In my prior experiences, painting projects never quite turned out right. Either I slathered too much paint on an object or not enough. As my income increased, so did my tendency to avoid DIY painting projects of any kind.

My living room decor is comprised of red, black, and white. However, my TV stand/entertainment center did not coordinate with my living at all. I contemplated replacing it with a black one. But, the comparable ones were a couple hundred dollars. I ruled out searching Craigslist and other secondhand resources due to lack of time. 

As time wore on, it became clearer to me that my best option in this scenario was to paint this piece of furniture black. Luckily, I have a fenced in backyard and a seemingly never-ending roll of plastic sheeting which has acted as a barrier between my project and the patio.

Here is my list of  suggestions for spray painting furniture:

1. Study tutorials on spray painting furniture
2. Begin with the end in mind.
3. Figure out what type of paint you will need.
4. Calculate how much paint you will need.
5. Wear protective goggles, gloves, and a mask.
6. Work in a well-ventilated area.
