How to paint furniture

There are so many older pieces of furniture that would look great if only they weren't so beat up. Today I'm going to show you how to restore that old furniture by touching up the dings and repainting it, so it looks new again. For this project, you will need:a painter's drop cloth, a pair of vinyl gloves. a few 1- to 2-inch foam brushes,
fine grit sandpaper, a tack rag, a couple of soft work towels or rags, wood putty a putty knife, water-based latex paint and water-based satin varnish.
