Repainted and repurposed furniture is all the rage, but just slapping on a coat of paint doesn’t always yield high-quality results.
Furniture redesigner Barb Blair, owner of Knack Studios (knackstudios.com) shares her methods in “Furniture Makeovers: Simple Techniques for Transforming Furniture.” She gives readers all the basics they need to take on their own projects, right down to suggesting her favorite brands of paintbrushes and furniture wax.
The book is dedicated mostly to teaching techniques. Readers will learn what to look for when they’re buying used furniture, what tools and materials yield the best results, how to prepare and make small repairs to furniture and how to achieve various finishes and decorative effects.
“Furniture Makeovers” sells for $24.95 in hardcover.
