I have an old wooden door from a very old home that I want to restore somewhat and use for decor in my home. It looks really cool to me right now but the paint is chipping all over-which I am sure that means its lead based-right? Can I paint a clear coat over it to protect my children again lead poisoning or what?

Can we use another color to color wash? Used semi gloss, latex paint. Using eggplant, sage green, and taupes in other rooms of home. Tuscan decor. Please no reds.

I have an oak table from Ikea that I want to paint or stain black to match the decor in my home. It has a glossy finish to it. I looked up Krylon paints but there were several options. I don’t have a whole lot of space to do this. I would be taking the table and chairs outside to my small patio. Any info would help, thanks!

paint.my furniture is burgandy n most my decor is burgandy .not good st choosing colors!

My carpets are dark blue…i have gry paneling on one walls and the other walls are bright white. I can’t paint or put anything perm. on the walls. it’s very, very small. I need some ideas to make it look more like home. Also, I have a tiny kitchen that is pretty much attached to the living room with only a low counter to separate the two rooms. Is there something I can do to separate them without it looking tacky? I also have an even smaller bathroom, with gry/wht flooring and only a medicine cabinet for storage. I’m desperate and poor! help!

I have a 7′ tall bookshelf that I had in college that I got from Walmart or Kmart. It is particle board with the black shiny laminate (maybe?) over it. It is still in really good shape, but the black does not fit my home decor. I was wondering if paint would actually stick to it if I painted it and if there was anything I needed to do to the surface before painting, like trying to sand it or something. Or can I just put a regular primer on first and then paint it like I would anything else. Thanks.
