─── YOUR GUIDE
Hi, I'm Jade.
I have been refinishing furniture since before it was cool. I have transformed hundreds of pieces, from op shop finds and kerbside pickups to inherited family pieces that deserved a second life.
I wrote this guide because I wanted women to know that you do not need to be a professional, spend a fortune, or have a fancy workshop to create beautiful furniture. You just need the right knowledge and a willingness to have a go.
This is the third edition of the guide, updated with the latest products, techniques, and everything I have learnt from helping thousands of women transform their homes.
What Readers Are Saying
"I bought this ebook on a whim and completely transformed an old bedside table I found on the side of the road. The step-by-step format is so easy to follow. I'm now obsessed with op shop hunting."
"I've tried refinishing furniture before and always ended up with brush marks. The painting chapter alone was worth every cent. My dining chairs look incredible."
"I was so nervous to try this but the guide made it feel completely achievable. My dresser looks like something from a boutique homewares store. Thanks Jade!"
