I have a small bureau and I want to paint it but I've never painted anything ever before and don't know if I can really do it but your project gives me hope especially the fact that I can use a roller not just a brush :D might save me some time n a whole lot of strokes.

Apparently, it's rose wood and "people pay good money for that", but she is sitting in our off site storage unit as it doesn't go with any of our home decor. The color you picked would be PERFECT for her and our home.

But after I got started, I realized it was a little smelly, so I had to open all windows wide during these nice cold weather months. Otherwise, the paint itself was amazing and seems really strong already.

But I also find that the paint seems to re-cover those areas just fine {it is usually just small spots here and there}. I like to sand areas that have small imperfections and really lightly go over and brush or roller marks. xoxo!IHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-62178095670458590122013-11-13T23:37:59.509-06:002013-11-13T23:37:59.509-06:00Hi Robin!

I too love SW paints...did you like the enamel better than a regular paint? And with the enamel do you have to clear coat it?
