The Everything you need for furniture painting, including tools, brushes, paint and more. The Ultimate Supply List for Painting Furniture. Furniture painting supplies and must-haves. Make sure to get all the tools and chalk paint supplies before starting your painted furniture makeover.

The Ultimate Supply List for Painting Furniture

You are into furniture painting, and these will help for sure. Painting furniture requires a wide array of tools and supplies. After sharing post after post of painted furniture makeovers, a few home decor posts, personal posts and even a holiday gift guide I realized that the most simple thing that I have yet to share is a basic supply list. I’ve decided to put together an “everything but the furniture supply list” or an “Every Girls Shopping Guide to Painting Furniture“.  Though I do realize that men paint furniture as well, so I suppose that wouldn’t be appropriate. But you get the idea. I have an arsenal of tools and supplies in my workshop and I will do my best to include as much as I can possibly think of. supply list, shopping guide, must haves, painting furniture, tools to refinish furniture

Tools

Though, not always necessary tools are a major part of the furniture painting business. Many pieces are old and in need of sanding or repairs. Here is a list of some of my most used tools as well as links to each.

1 – Dewalt Cordless Drill  – how else would you drill new hardware holes, for example? Or even better, you can stretch the holes that you already have like in this post: How to Stretch Hardware Holes. dewalt-orbital-sander, tools for furniture repairs, repairing furniture, supply list painting furniture

2. Dewalt Orbital Sander  – when refinishing furniture you often find yourself sanding to bare wood. This is my go to, number one sander to get the job done. An example of where I sanded an entire piece would be the Rags to Riches Desk Makeover. electric-sander, orbital sander, dewalt sander, what sander to use when refinishing furniture,

3. Measuring Tape – for obvious reasons.

4. Screw Extractor Set (for those stubborn screws that just won’t come out) here is a post where I needed to use these: Reupholstered Vanity Seat

5. Sawhorse – when certain things need a little help (here is a post where I needed my sawhorse: Elegant Ornate Mirrorsawhorse

6. Assorted Sandpaper – it’s nearly impossible to paint furniture without using sandpaper, whether for prepping or distressing

7. Wood Glue – for simple furniture repairs

 8. Wood Glue Syringes  (gets wood glue into those hard to reach small spaces with less mess) Here is a post where I used these: Victorian Parlor Table Makeover

9. Furniture Dolly – when I want to easily maneuver a piece. Here is a post where I use these: Media Console with Image Transferfurniture-dolly

10. Tri-Dolly – Another fantastic tool to prop your piece of furniture on when painting furniture are these smaller dollies.  furniture painting supply list, furniture dolly

11. Screwdriver – this Rolgear screwdriver is actually a ratchet screwdriver. It comes with multiple attachments and is now my favorite screwdriver in my shop.

Paint Brushes

1. Cling On Brushes (Flat are my Favorite)

2. Chip Brushes for dry brushing like in the Painted Pineapple Pedestal Tablechip-brush

    Thank you for your comprehensive list. Besides shipping a finished piece, what do you use the plastic shipping for when painting?
    Keep posting! Thank you!

      Every piece that is picked up by a customer is plastic wrapped for them. I also suggest that they bring a blanket so that their piece gets home safely 🙂
