We all know that walls and ceilings are primed for painting, but what about countertops, fabric and floors? Turns out with the right materials and preparation they can be painted too. Here’s what you need to know.

Can’t stand looking at your laminate countertops? Well put down your checkbook because you don’t need to buy new countertops. You need to paint them. While the job is slightly labor intensive (expect a fair amount of prep work and multiple coats of paint) it doesn’t require advance DIY skills to pull off. Best of all, it’s an inexpensive and effective way to update the look of your kitchen.

While it’s generally preferable to dye fabric, sometimes it’s simply not possible, especially when it comes to furniture. Thankfully, painting fabric is completely and totally doable. It just takes the right materials and a little patience. So if you’ve got an old piece of furniture or some drapes that need updating, don’t blow your budget buying replacement pieces. Paint them instead.
Garage floors:

You just spent the weekend getting your garage perfectly organized. Shelves are hung. Everything is in order. The place is spotless and nearly perfect. So what’s the problem? Your drab, ugly concrete floors, that’s what. Thankfully, a can of epoxy floor paint will have your garage floor shining like a showroom. Concerned about slipping on a slick floor? Add an antiskid additive to the paint to give your floor grip.
