Red TV Stand
We painted our tv stand this weekend, following Jenny's instructions. It was surprisingly easy. We cleaned it (Moses had done some damage to it) and primed the top. Then sprayed it with several coats of the Rustoleum Safety Red spray paint. We also took Jenny's advice and used the wipe-on poly finish to make it extra shiny. It is seriously tempting to take everything out in the back yard and paint it red. Hopefully the living room gets finished soon and I can share more pictures of the finished project.
oh, nice!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great TV stand - I really love how it turned out! It looks so good :) I'm off to think of something I can paint red around here...
ReplyDeleteThank you for the inspiration!
Amazing transformation!
ReplyDeleteOoh, Jordan, this is gorgeous! I love it in red.
ReplyDeleteThat looks fantastic. I can imagine how good that red looks in person!
ReplyDeletethis is fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks really nice. Spray paint does give a great finish. I've sprayed a metal bed successfully before in the back garden - I'm sure the neighbours thought I'd gone mad.
ReplyDeletewoooooooooooooowww!!!!!!!1111
ReplyDeletehow fabulous!
ReplyDeleteit turned out awesome
ReplyDeleteI love the bright red!
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing! I was also inspired by her post (thanks for linking) and am painting a large buffet this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThis is so gorgeous! and my favorite color.
ReplyDeleteLooks great - nice work!
ReplyDeletewasn't that a great post? I love her blog. I painted my kitchen table a couple of weeks ago and I have a whole list of things I want to paint now--I was SO happy with how my table turned out!
ReplyDeleteOh! I love it so much! It's amazing in RED!
ReplyDeleteLOVE how the read brings out all the pretty details of your cabinet! Spray painting can be addicting. Such instant gratification (well, once you get your piece prepped).
ReplyDeletewow, what a transformation. kudos!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT! This table was born to be red. I would advise against doing any more furniture red, just so that this one stands out more.
ReplyDeletevery cute and what a transformation a little color can do!!
ReplyDeletek
That is seriously cute!
ReplyDeletethat looks amazing! i feel inspired to paint some of my wood furniture red now...
ReplyDeleteWow! Beautiful! Great job.
ReplyDeletebravo! amazing makeover. spray painting is addictive except for the stinky fumes (the mask helps!).
ReplyDeleteReally adorable. I can't wait to see how it fits in the rest of the room.
ReplyDeleteThis looks fantastic! Well done.
ReplyDeleteHey, I went to Home Depot looking for the wipe-on poly and they didn't have any, at least none that would work on a painted surface. I'm painting a TON of my furniture. I'd love to try the wipe-on poly instead of the rust-oleum gloss spray that requires about 5 coats to make the furniture shine...
ReplyDeletewhere did you get your wipe-on poly?
Wow, I'm so happy I found this post. I recently painted my wood Ikea tv stand and it worked out....sort of. I think I didn't let it cure long enough so the texture is matte and almost sticky months later. I'm going to follow these instructions next time!
ReplyDeleteThis is GORGEOUS. I am in love with your TV stand-by chance remember where it is from? Thanks!
ReplyDeletelove it! ever since she posted that, i've been looking everywhere for the safety red, but haven't been able to find it!
ReplyDelete...but maybe i should find my writing desk first? cart before the horse and all that?
That is gorgeous! We're trying to find things to paint red around the house now...should probably wait until winter breaks here:(
ReplyDeleteEver since I read this post I am obsessed with your tv stand and have been searching for something similar....any suggestions on where to find one?? Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThe new color definitely gives your TV stand the WOW factor. It has a bright oriental look now that would surely give your living room an interesting twist. I really love it.
