re-painting
I have a few furniture items in my house that are different colors (dresser, night stands, bookshelves) I would like to paint them all black but I have read that I need to sand them all first. Is there any way that I can bypass that step? Like do I absolutely HAVE to sand them before I paint them? Thanks for your help, I don't do much DIY so I really have no clue what i'm getting myself into! 
Warning
No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
Re: re-painting
i believe there is a solution available that you can apply that does the sanding for you. i can't remember what it is called, but have seen others use it for redoing cabinetry, etc. should work on other furniture pieces.
