Why spend money on new furniture when you can completely transform your old pieces?? I have never updated or refinished old or disguarded furniture, but have always wanted to. This book has given me the confidence to try!! Can't wait to get started!!

No new information, but I enjoyed this large book.

So far I've liked this book. It has all the information I need

Gorgeous book, perfect if you are learning to refinish furniture and beautiful enough to place on your coffee table for decoration. She gives great instructions and steps to easily make a used piece of furniture fab. I really like Amy Howard's tips and I find she's a little more "to the point" than some of the other furniture vloggers, which I appreciate. Who's got time to watch a 30 minute video to learn how to refinish a coffee table? I am excited to try her paint and I have some great plans for replicating the ideas in her book. I highly recommend this book.

She spent to much time on gilding. Other than that she gave really good descriptions of types of finishes. Milk paint, chalk paint, lacquer, etc.I would have liked to learn more about glazing.

I just started reading this book, but I can see the author knows what she is talking about. The author gives a lot of good suggestions. So far, I think this book may become my “How to” Bible.

This is the ONLY book you need if you're brand new to upcycling furniture. Seriously, I purchased a few other books, but this is the only one I use. The author includes a handful of upcycling projects with detailed instructions and pictures to walk you through every technique you'll ever use. If you try out each project, by the end of the book you'll be an expert at everything from furniture to upholstery to lamps and decor. BUY THIS BOOK.
