Paint it black, that’s exactly what I’m doing to my old IKEA pine dining set. Now that the majority of the living and dining room renovations are complete and our hodge podge of furnishings are back in place, I decided that the pine dining room furniture just doesn’t work. It’s looking tired and old and in dire need of a facelift. So the priming and painting has begun.

I should have taken some before photos but basically it’s a round pedestal table and a corner cabinet with a glass door. I also have the buffet and hutch but it’s currently being used in the kitchen.

The pedestal is done and the table top still needs two more coats of paint. Then I’ll be able to seal the paint finish. The corner unit is a lot more work plus I’m planning on painting the inside an off-off white and the exterior black. I’m definately not looking forwards to painting the glass door. The glass can’t be removed which means lots and lots of taping required. I really hate that part.

I can’t wait to get them done and back in place. It’s going to look like a whole new set. :o)
