Give it a leg up
On one of those days when you have to repaint an old but treasured family dining table or Grandma’s prized reading chair, you would inevitably come across an issue if you start painting from the top and then flipping it over.
The laws of gravity are not kind to a piece of furniture that’s upside down. Turns out, if you tap a nail onto the bottom of the legs of the chair or table, you can paint them without flipping. It’s genius.
Or a boost up
The great thing about furniture is that no one checks the nooks and crannies of all your furniture to check if it is all dust-free and varnished to perfection every six months. But once the paint or varnish needs a touch-up, it’s time to roll up your sleeves.
Rest assured that there’s a very simple way to touch up your bed frame or table, much like you’d paint a chair; just swap the nails on the bottom for bed raisers or even paper plates. This will ensure you have an even coat, down to the legs!
