I have just painted my bedroom furniture black, inspired partly by one of your posts with black painted chairs. Now for my question…since the pieces are all different styles and wood colors I wanted to unify them. I would like to add some gold trim but don’t know what kind of paint to by. I painted them a satin finish and think I am going to spray paint all the original hardware gold also. I don’t necessarily want shiny new look, bit a little antiqued look… do you have any suggestions or links on your sight to help me? for now, I love the look of the painted finishes (one more coat to go…) There is a beautiful oak Larkin desk in great condition and the bed (an older Ethan Allan peice) which are not painted but the same color family so I don’t mind the warm color they add…which is why I think I want to do gold rather, otherwise I would just add all silver hardware… oh decisions decisions. I love your site, thanks.

I am thinking of painting my kitchen table black, but have some concerns about the top of my table. It is used all the time to eat at, art projects and homework, and I don’t want to have to be constantly worrying about the paint chipping etc….

Hi Rhonda, Love the painted furniture….. I would like to attempt to paint my formal dining room table and chairs with the ralph lauren paint, a little afraid of how the top of the table will handle the paint with hot plates etc… placed on top of it. any thoughts….I thought this would look beautiful with a couple of slip covered chairs …… very chic…. love the website

I love the way the furniture turned out. Did you also spray paint the table?
