Review: Easy to read, easy to do - The book lists specific materials, stores where to get them -- vital information for any nervous novice. Well written: sounds (reads) like friend walking you through a no-fuss project. Her thoughts on which used furniture to pick up or walk away from, cautionary messages on handling potentially hazardous materials and repetitive advice on different techniques made me feel confident enough to tackle my first project within a week of reading the book! The list of materials is many pages long -- however, one can buy the shorter list for each technique and still finish a project. Straightforward instructions on basic seat upholstering prodded me to up-cycle my favorite chair and got such a great result. The greatest compliment was when my husband came home, "Cool chair. Anthropologie?" 'Could've hugged him, but I hugged my book instead. LoL If you've been eyeing a few tired looking furniture pieces at home, and didn't have the money for new stuff -- get the book and get ready for some fun make-overs!
Review: Nice reference book - I just received this the other day and was very excited. I tend to read books front to back, in order, but this book is more like a reference book. She starts out with detailed lists of supplies and tools needed for the furniture makeovers. I liked the fact that she listed actual product brand names that she uses and why. Lots of times authors will give a generic "go buy glue" and, as a beginner, I'm confused as to what kind they are referring to. Barb leaves nothing to guess about. Then, she goes through different techniques, listing specific supplies needed for that product and great pictures showing each step. My favorite part was the back 1/2 of the book that shows before and after pictures. So many great ideas! Great book to have on the shelf.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nitty gritty, down and dirty!
*by L***K on February 20, 2014*

What a great instruction book for the would-be furniture sprucer-upper. From tools to techniques, this book covers so many aspects of re-finishing and repairing wooden pieces. Bar Blair takes you, step-by-step, through the process of removing the old and then applying the new. My husband and get such a kick out of turning someone's kicked-to-the-curb discard, into a proud member of the family. My kids have all come around and asked "Hey, what are you going to do with that when it's finished?" I tell them I'll put it in the will, but they'll have to wait til then! The author also gives good insights as to what to look for in construction of a piece, what it will take to restore it, and when to walk away. There are costs involved, and I have found myself occasionally paying too much for what it will be worth in the end. All supplies cost money, especially if you are into the new milk and chalk paints and the wax finishes, which she also covers.. This is a good beginner's book, but there are tips that even the more advanced amateur will find helpful.
