Painting Children's Furniture

 

 

 

 

 

I love painting children's furniture.  I love to do them in bright, cheerful colors that the children will love! 

 

This set is a small desk and matching chair with a train theme for a little boy.

 

 

 

This piece was a piano bench with a lid that raised up for music storage.  We put one of those safety hinges on it where it won't slam shut and I painted it for a little boy who was into Hot Wheels cars.  The roads are big enough that he can play with his cars on it.  Then when he is finished, he can store his cars in the storage spot by raising up the lid and putting them away.

 

 

This is the finished table.  Sorry for the blurry picture - this was before I got my new camera.

 

 

 

This set of a table and chair had a construction/truck theme.  All kinds of vehicles.

 

 

 

I put many, many coats of water-based varnish on these pieces because you know they are going to get alot of wear and tear.  I want them to last a long time.

 

Hope you enjoyed seeing these.  Next week, I'll show some of my frilly, little girl pieces.

 

Till next time, Judy
