If you find yourself with a harvest-gold countertop or a dull vinyl bathroom floor, consider refurbishing these surfaces with paint.

Materials to Buy
Trisodium phosphate (TSP) cleaner
Low-tack painter's tape
Foam paint rollers
Tinted bonding primer

Polyurethane

Tools to Gather
Wood glue
Drop cloths
