This faux painting furniture class will introduce you to the techniques to create exquisite furniture finishes.

You'll get the tips and techniques during this class to go back and start refinishing and decorating furniture, cabinets and accessories to ad a new dimension to your faux painting business.

Paining and refinishing furniture is a nice ad on to any business and the best part, no ladders to climb. You can finish the furniture in the comfort of your home studio, garage or basement.

I spend quite a bit of time search through yard and garage sales as well as flea markets looking for that perfect picture frame, that old beat up dresser or those ugly end tables, ugly and old to some. I look for pieces that are interesting and have the potential to be transformed, look beyond the finish, look for what you can do with the piece.

 

       
 

You will create over 15 samples on wood trim and cabinet door fronts to take home.

Learn how to apply these finishes over formica, metal, melamine and much more. You will learn how to properly prepare these difficult surfaces so your work will last for years.
