Stop painting your fabric furniture. I don’t mean the wood in this case, I mean stop painting the FABRIC. Use slipcovers or reupholster it instead. Use an old sheet or curtains. Just keep the words 'paint,' 'paint brush,' and 'paint roller' far, far away from the textiles your family and guests could potentially sit on because it’s the flippin’ worst and no one wants to hurt your feelings by saying so."
