Rachel said Great for ideas, okay for technique. This book gave me lots of ideas for painting furniture without a lot of artistic talent. A+ there. However, many of the techniques list one type & color of paint with no discussion of why or possible substitutions. Some discussions at my local painting store gave me more insight.. "Just what I needed to get started" according to Foggy. I was having a hard time getting started painting furniture. I highly recommend this book for beginners like myself. My first projects are painting over furniture that has already been painted. They were painted black and I didn't have a clue whether it was possible to paint a lighter color on top. With the tips in this book, and with a good paint primer, it IS possible! The author has kept her instructions down to the minimal most important tips. So, I'm not overwhelmed by it. I love . Great Book for Technique! D. DeHart 50 Ways to Paint Furniture: The Easy, Step-by-Step Way to Decorator LooksThis book is very detailed for the beginner and the intermediate painter. It is full of good ideas on types of finishes as well as how to mix paints and what mediums to use. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to paint furniture!
