Transform a tired piece of furniture into a contemporary classic using this easy color block technique!
Here is what you will need:
- Wood side table
- 150 grit sandpaper
- Rag

How To:
- With sandpaper, slightly sand the table, then wipe clean with a rag.
- Prime the tables with Miller All Purpose Stain Blocking Primer 470011. Let dry.
- Paint the table top, sides and top two thirds of each leg Yellow Umbrella| 0800 and let dry. Second coat if needed.
- With ruler and pencil measure and mark from the bottom of each leg one inch above the yellow paint.
- Horizontally wrap a piece of masking tape around each leg along the pencil mark.
- With Yellow Umbrella | 0800, paint approximately one inch below the tape line, making sure to overlap with paint on the tape too. This step is important, because it will create a crisp color line when the tape is removed. Let paint dry.
