However, you can also do a glossier paint and let it cure completely (which can take up to a month or two), which will also offer an easy-to-clean end result. I personally have never done a high gloss paint with a poly, I don't think that would be necessary. <br /><br />xoxo!IHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-51440055756987466432015-05-03T00:35:46.025-05:002015-05-03T00:35:46.025-05:00I just one a bedroom piece and would like to paint...I just one a bedroom piece and would like to paint it black and maybe a little plum.

I'm buying a used, icky oak dining set for our kitchen and will want to refinish it someday. I've also heard good things about the Z, and anything that eliminates sanding is right up my alley. The chairs on this set have several, very thin spindles, so I think spray would be best for coverage. Would you advise a good quality spray paint for that type of furniture or have you used a good paint sprayer? I guess there would only be flat & high-gloss options with spray paint, but maybe there's a satin out there I haven't seen. We primed & painted an iron bedframe, and I really wasn't happy with the finish due to the brushes/our ineptitude (but seeing a bright orange iron bed everyday still makes me smile).Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10434500237609134003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-38588627895317528452012-03-30T20:57:03.710-05:002012-03-30T20:57:03.710-05:00I'm interested in this answer, too.

I used to ...Awww, thanks for the sweet compliment!<br /><br />I used to color my hair dark myself to save money, since I really struggle coloring it blonde on my own without getting a yellow shade. We had a 10 year vow renewal last summer that I was determined to be blonde for {since that was my original color}, so I started to go to my hair stylist 6-8 months prior to gradually begin the lightening process. Now that it's blonde {and I love it too much to go back to the dark side, lol}, I go every 10 weeks to just do a partial foil to the roots. The under side of my hair is actually still really dark... I am not sure of the exact color she mixes, I go to an Aveda salon.<br /><br />xoxo,<br />JenIHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-88809431652759695522012-03-30T13:37:19.406-05:002012-03-30T13:37:19.406-05:00You are so crafty!

You mentioned a playroom, so I was wondering if you have separate spaces for your boys' toys... We currently have all the toys divided between the living room, my son's room and are planning a playroom in the basement.. which is not that ideal.. so I guess I am just looking for some solutions..
