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.

Thank you for the inspiration!

That 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.

wasn'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!

LOVE 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).

LOVE 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.

Hey, 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…
where 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!

The 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.
