Painting and Decorating Funiture

I have been painting and decorating furniture for 50 years and this is the first book I truly, truly have found well written, clear, informative with wonderful photos and answering questions before one asks. I sincerely enjoyed, and am experimenting with Sheilas methods. (loved the little penguins and cats, nice touch)

Easy, exciting and fun furniture painting ideas

Unusual yet realistic ideas for painting furniture. Easy to understand and very detailed. I wish she had a volume II.

Excellent craft book to revive old or ugly furniture.

This book is beautifully displayed with before and after photos, as well as clear, detailed step-by-step instruction. Any novice can complete the projects shown in this book. The author fully explains every tool or item you need to purchase (and gives pictures of them). The projects listed are numerous. Anyone wanting to put new life in old furniture will definitely get their money's worth out of this book.
