Painted furniture as art
If you think of painted furniture as a scraped-up old chair you pick up at the flea market to put in the laundry room, think again. Did you ever think of painted furniture as art? You need not be especially artistically gifted to successfully create a conversation starter as well as a true work of art.
For your first project, start with a thrift shop or flea market chair or small table. It doesn’t matter if it’s scraped up or if it’s already painted and scratched up. A little sandpaper will take care of that.

Unfinished Furniture
We all get the creative urge once in a while, but unless we have an unfound talent, we are usually limited in what we can do. I like to do all types of things, and this usually means that I wander around looking for something new to try that might not be too complicated for my limited time and talents. One thing that I have found that is a lot of fun is unfinished furniture and other things made from wood. These are already half done, and you simply add your own artistic touch to them. They can be great additions to any home or other space.
What is great about unfinished furniture is that you can save money buying it, and you can do it up to match what you have in your home or office space already. That means you may go out and find the most amazing and comfortable rocking chair, but it is left unfinished so that you can pick the varnish or even the paint that will match the rest of your décor. That also puts you in total control of what you get so you can be sure the varnish or paint is safe for you and your particular situation. If you have young children, this is very important.
