Hi everyone! It’s Melissa from the Top Drawer RVA! I found a cute, but very strange table at the local Goodwill. It was plastic, and very ugly! I knew the shape could be something fabulous and took it home with me for $12! Let’s start by saying you CAN paint plastic furniture! Don’t leave those treasures behind when all you need is a little Slick Stick. Slick Stick is a gripping primer that you apply to ensure your paint will stick soundly!

Let’s go over what I have in store for this ugly duckling. There are some new rub-on furniture transfers available from Dixie Belle Paint.  You can find them all under Belles & Whistles. I am a colorful, whimsical painter and wanted to try out the new Alice Part 2 Transfer. If you would like to read more about How To Apply Furniture Transfers, we have an excellent Blog to help you out!
