I've been wanting to share a little bit more about my home and I thought it'd be cool to show you all how to repaint a practical but ugly bookcase with wood laminate. I was skeptical that I'd be able to paint over wood laminate but it worked very well, so I'll share with you my process.
So onto the next!!! Pick out a good quality primer. Zinsser is an excellent choice since its water based and covers really well. Depending on how dark your wood piece is, prime it to the best coverage. I primed my piece once but it could have stood another coat of primer. Now let that baby set for one whole week!!! Trust me on this one. It needs to set to prevent scratches during the reassembling process.
If you want to know how I covered up that weird hole (this bookcase was originially a media center I think) then I will do another DIY post for making a cute pushpin board!!
