shelf before & after

I 've had this shelf for awhile

and I never liked the

laminate but I was afraid

to paint it in fear that it may

start peeling.

But I found instructions on

how to paint laminate furniture,

so I was ready to try it.

laminate is oil - based primer.

I rolled it on and that was

so fast and easy.

It dries really fast.

Then I just painted on my

color.

Here's the before:

And after:

Ahh...much better.

Should've done that

 a long time ago.
