Round Table Cover Questions - page 2 Oval Elasticized Table Cover Rectangular Elasticized Table Cover (Standard) Rectangular Elasticized Table Cover (Large) Round Table Cover - Extra LargeThis is the first house we’ve lived in that doesn’t have carpet. When we moved in, we put adhesive protector pads on the feet of all the furniture that rests directly on the wood floors. For larger, stationary pieces (i.e., the sofa, living room chair, media cabinet, etc.) the standard felt pads work fine. But we’ve always had an issue with the protectors staying put on the counter stools at the kitchen island. The stools get moved in and out several times a day and I’ve had to replace the felt pads at least four times. New pads start shifting out of place after only a few days. They attract dust bunnies to the bottom of the stools. I’m constantly cleaning adhesive residue off the floor under the island overhang. At one point, I decided to forego the pads all together because they were more work than they were worth.

But the kids like to tip the stools when they’re sitting on them (drives me bonkers) and it was leaving small dents in the floor. Steve did some googling and came across these flexi-felt covers. The presentation videos are super hokey but the concept was appealing. The flexi-felt cover is basically a small sleeve of clear, flexible plastic that grips around furniture feet. outdoor rattan chairs australiaA quality felt pad on the bottom of the sleeve allows furniture to glide along floors without leaving scratches or dents. white wicker chair canadaOut of desperation, we measured our stools (an essential step) and shelled out $35 for sixteen felt sleeve covers. voted best high chair 2014

It seemed like a lot of money but we realized we had spent as much – or more – on furniture pads that had failed over the past two years. When the felt covers arrived, Steve couldn’t get them on fast enough. I’ve never seen a grown man so excited about furniture pads. The process of putting the covers on, however, was NOT exciting. Even with the included installation tool, it took nearly forty-five minutes to put on all sixteen covers. wood folding chairs home depotOur stool legs don’t taper perfectly (a section of the metal leg juts out just above the feet) so it was difficult to slide the tool out during installation. bean bag chairs in japanBut once all covers were in place, we were surprised by their appearance and performance.wedding chair cover rentals wisconsin

Sure, we could have slipped cut tennis balls onto the stool legs but I wasn’t keen on the stools looking like geriatric walkers. Rubber cane tips would probably prevent dents and dings but, again, geriatric. Not to mention, they don’t glide easily. The transparent flexi-felt covers aren’t obnoxious looking at all. In fact, they’re barely noticeable. But the game changer? It’s been over a month since we installed the new covers and they haven’t budged. Steve and I are impressed. The pads come with a one-year warranty but the limitations are questionable. For instance, the warranty doesn’t cover “normal wear.” At any rate, we have no complaints so far and I’m curious to see how they hold up in the long run. I’ll keep you posted. Do you use furniture pads? Have you discovered any pads that stay put on frequently moved furniture? FYI – This post is NOT sponsored in any way. Just sharing a non-geriatric furniture pad option that’s working for us so far.

I quickly learned that if you paint a piece with a flat sheen of paint, you will eventually wind up with a bruised and scratched-up piece of furniture that ain't pretty. It took a few more tries, but I finally realized the benefit of a topcoat and when to use one. There are many different types of topcoats, and each is a little different. Polyurethane is most typically used on stained wood and gives a very durable finish. I don't recommend polyurethane for painted furniture, because it tends to yellow the paint over time. It's also oil-based, which works best on top of stained wood and other oil-based paints. Personally, I have used Minwax Polyurethane to protect stained pieces, such as the inside of my front door.

I typically brush on a light coat with a high-quality paintbrush, followed by a light sanding, another light coat, light sanding, then a final light coat. I usually go with a satin polyurethane because the gloss is pretty glossy. If you don't use the fast-drying version, it usually takes a few days for your piece to fully cure. strongMy new favorite furniture paint is Velvet Finishes. Velvet Finishes paint already has a topcoat built into the paint. However, if you are painting something that will get a lot of use, like a tabletop, dresser, end table, etc., you should still use a topcoat on it. The Velvet Finishes topcoat is called Protect. It's a polyurethane, but it is nonyellowing and water-based. It gives great protection without the yellowing. With this one, I brush on one light coat and let it dry—that's it. The radio turned drink bar got a coat of Protect after it was painted. strongThere are many people who are crazy about furniture wax. I am not one of those people. 

This is my least-favorite way to protect furniture, but I still do it on occasion. Wax gives furniture more of a flat finish. Most people rub it on with a cloth, let it sit, and then buff it. However, I have a much easier method to waxing furniture when I have to. Anytime I wax a piece, I use Minwax Paste finishing wax. When I made our laminate counters look like stone, I used wax to finish them because it gave the flat, stonelike finish I was looking for. While many polyurethanes (except Protect) are oil-based and go on stained wood and oil-painted furniture, polycrylic is water-based and can go on wood or paint. It can be applied the same as polyurethane—brush on, light sanding, brush on, light sanding, brush on. However, polycrylic can also be sprayed on with a paint sprayer. This is what I typically do, because it takes a lot less time and I usually only need one coat with my sprayer. I use my HomeRight Finish Max sprayer to do this. I used polycrylic on this DIY industrial coffee table over the stained wood.

I only recommend using spray topcoats (in a spray paint can) over spray painted pieces. Most of the time, spray painted pieces don't need any extra protection. If you are spraying something that is decorative and not going to get a lot of hands-on action, I wouldn't worry with top coating it. That being said, if you spray paint something and want to make it really glossy, you can spray a clear gloss topcoat on it to achieve the look. Spray a gloss topcoat or any other spray topcoat on in light coats. Fair warning: It can be tough to get semi-gloss and gloss spray topcoats even on large pieces. This is why you do multiple light coats; otherwise, you could end up with streaks. I have always used Rust-Oleum spray topcoats. After I spray painted my barstools, I knew they would be getting a lot of use, so I gave them a couple of coats of spray topcoat. strongThis is a new one to me. When I found Velvet Finishes, I learned that their glazes also function as topcoats for added protection to your furniture—which is pretty sweet.

They have two glazes, a dark and clear. The dark is great for aging furniture, and you can make any color of glaze you want with the clear glaze. To apply, you brush on a small amount and wipe off any excess. You can see how-to photos of this from this recent dresser makeover. I used a dark glaze on this IKEA Tarva dresser turned drink bar, also. There are some cases in which you may not need a topcoat, such as: Do you have any tips or tricks about topcoats?
