I'm going to go buy all the supplies and get started this week (so excited!)<br />BTW: for your bar stools - did you do anything to remove the paint/stain underneath before you spray painted them? I'm thinking of painting our wood chairs white too. :)Coraleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09152161719571837884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574832774101813976.post-74735204507937062842010-06-04T15:50:15.071-07:002010-06-04T15:50:15.071-07:00ohhh... just buy 8 cans. better safe than sorry.ohhh... just buy 8 cans. better safe than sorry.jeniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01353955201144145831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574832774101813976.post-41224600351207745122010-06-04T15:48:53.402-07:002010-06-04T15:48:53.402-07:00coralee-

LOVE. LOVE them. I didn't use any top spray on the beds and they seem professional. On my bar stools, i may use the min-wax spray polyurethane...lots of people recommended that minwax top coat, but when i used it, it looked bad and yellow, even when i tried hard to make a thin coat.<br />my advice for bunk beds, buy 6-8jars of spray paint and spray right on top of your paint. i bet you'll love it and won't need a top coat. i loved valspar from lowes but i think i like painters touch from home depot better. both brands are around $3 per can.<br />you'll LOVE it.<br /><br />and... don't forget to buy a trigger thing from wal-mart (i'll show you a picture in my next post) it costs $2 and slide on the spray paint can... it will SAVE your finger. Honestly, before i found out about the trigger thing, my poor fingers were sore from pushing the spray button!!<br /><br />good luck!jeniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01353955201144145831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574832774101813976.post-51516796330443457112010-06-04T15:25:16.175-07:002010-06-04T15:25:16.175-07:00Hi - I've been following your blog for awhile ...Hi - I've been following your blog for awhile (I love it!) but haven't commented. I am in the midst of repainting a wood loft/bunk bed for my boys. I have sanded, done a coat of primer and resanded and painted - I'm not loving the look either. Do you think spray paint would work on such a large piece of furniture? Did you put any type of top-coat on over the spray paint? Thanks for the advice! :)Coraleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09152161719571837884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574832774101813976.post-73995072701630130712010-06-04T06:11:43.383-07:002010-06-04T06:11:43.383-07:00That looks great.
