Description

Welcome to Amy Howard’s Rescue Restore Redecorate lifestyle! Whether you dream of restoring an heirloom to its former beauty or just want to modernize a flea market treasure, Howard has the design and refinishing secrets you need. Here are all the furniture finishing recipes, techniques, and tips that have made Howard’s classes sold-out success stories, and made Howard herself the go-to guru of refinishing and “use what you have” upcycle redecorating. Try your hand at unique painted and faux finishes, and experiment with gold leaf, distressing, and marvelous graining effects. Howard shows you a variety of lovely and exciting projects, including the Nicholas Nightstand and the Hugo Table, the Augustus Lamp and the Donovan Chairs, the Drake Lantern and the Alfred Mirror Tray. Along the way, you'll learn a treasure trove of techniques, as Howard shares before-and-after makeovers from her studio and offers impeccable step-by-step instruction in all that is needed to achieve each look. Howard writes in her introduction, “When you rescue, restore, and redecorate a vintage piece, you not only bring a new chair or table or dresser or mirror into your home. You bring in a new story, as well. You’re giving something old a new life, one that makes your own life even richer and better. That’s the Rescue, Restore, Redecorate lifestyle.” Chapters include: The Thrill of the HuntThe Creative PantryA Repertoire of Finishes: The Basics and BeyondChalk-Based PaintGildingLacquerMilk Paint (Casein Paint)Antiqued MirrorsAnd more!

    • Gorgeous book
Format: Paperback
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. ... show more

    • I'm OBSESSED with this book!
Format: Paperback
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. ... show more

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.
