How to Stain and Paint Furniture - a Beginners Tutorial

Hey gang! So I set out bright eyed and busy tailed to do a Facebook Live tutorial on how to stain and paint furniture for the beginner. Well, lets just stay that technology fought me all the way, so the tutorial actually ended up being three segments. I guess that's alright because now you can choose which one you want (paint, stain or both) without having the watch the entire thing on one setting. Lucky you!

Ok, so what will you learn in this tutorial and who is it geared towards? This tutorial is best for someone just starting out with staining or refinishing wood, or someone new to chalk painting. There are a ton of golden "nuggets" here in these tutorials that will make all the difference in how your project turns out. Here I address questions like...

"Do I have to sand before applying paint or stain?'
"What kind of paint should I use?"
"What tools or brushes do I need?"
"How to I seal the piece when I'm done?"
"What supplies do I need?"

Ok, so if you think it will help or someone else you know watch it and then pass it along. And speaking of paint, if you struggle with picking the right colors for your home or furniture projects, just sign up for my newsletter to get on the pre-order list for your FREE copy of my new e-book "An Easy Guide to Choosing Paint Colors".
