Customer Reviews

Not remotely what I was expecting from Annie.

This book is a glossary of 1980s crafting projects, more than simple painted furniture. If you want to learn how to make potato stamps or sponge painting or comb painting or decoupage, this is the book for you. If you want to learn how to layer paints or how to use paint to refinish furniture, do not buy this book.

Just exactly what I wanted

This book provides all the information you might need to create painted furniture yourself. I recommend it as concise, interesting with colored pictures and explanations. Good book for the topic.
