Polishing a Turd

I’ve got some bedroom furniture that I want to get rid of, but in this economy, I’ve been told that staying “liquid” as possible is the best option…so what’s a girl to do? Live with my maple furniture that I bought 6 years ago that was so cheap it shouldn’t still be standing??? I guess I’ll have to. BUT, that doesn’t mean I can’t class it up with a new paint job and some new drawer pulls.

Having said that, I’m afraid to paint it. You see, I tried several years ago to paint a similar piece of crap furniture and all I got was runny paint that didn’t adhere to the surface. I know there’s some sanding and priming in my future, but has anyone tried this before? Can anyone help me?

Please, help me turn this cheesy bookcase into something presentable!!!

As with all Wednesdays, I’m participating in Works for Me Wednesday over at We Are THAT Family. This week we were challenged to ask for solutions to a problem we were facing and this one is something I can’t stop thinking about! Any ideas would be HUGELY appreciated!
