I mostly paint with water based paint because it's odourless. However, I learned the hard way to never paint on a rainy day! It won't dry properly and you won't get a smooth surface. Some stains have this problem too...the result is hideous 🫣🇳🇱

Biggest paint fail wasn’t on furniture. I have four pocket doors in my home. I didn’t scuff sand or prime before painting & once my huge Saint Bernards scratched the doors, the paint peeled off in sheets. Ugh. My family was up to our eyeballs in credit & medical debt & getting that paid off was a loving act for our entire family. Glad you and your loved ones are free, too.

I feel like I've had so many fails painting furniture. Probably one of the worst was when the paint kept chipping off and it wasn't milk paint. I sanded it down twice I think. I think I used shellac and bonding primer because it just didn't want to stick. Made me so mad because I did the prep work of cleaning and sanding.
