Furniture makeovers that bleed through!
This furniture makeover felt like a bad date. I always know on a makeover after the first coat of paint if things are going to go well or not. When I started working on this cabinet after the first coat of paint, DIY Paint in Gravel Road, I knew it was going to be like a bad date.

Why, you ask?
Well, after the first coat of DIY Paint in Gravel Road there was heavy bleed through on the piece of furniture.
My solution to the problem was to paint in DIY Paint Black Velvet, because the dark color hides all the bleed through.

Bleed through on a furniture make over is old wax, stain and tannins that come through the light color of paint.   Watch the video and find out how to remedy bleed through.
Then, go out and “Create Something Beautiful!”
