I needed to escape one night after the kids were in bed. You know those days when you just have to get out of the house and you don’t care if it’s just down to Kroger to stuff your face with a Dove bar to grab some milk and bread? I was wandering down the magazine aisle and this one caught my eye:

Mandie sent me her e-book:

Complete Guide to Refinishing
Your Own Furniture Like a Pro

You may have seen her button over there and down on my sidebar. -->

I loved it and said that I would sing it’s praises from the rooftops. You know I love details and these are things I wish I would have known 2 years ago when I started to try to paint furniture:

what brands do you use?

sand or not sand?

brush, roll, or spray?

what are your favorite paint colors?

what about embellishments?

She answers all of these, plus much more in her 83 page book.

And it’s only $10.

She and her husband started re-finishing furniture and it was selling like hotcakes on Craigslist, so they turned it into their own business called Altar’d.

Here are some of the examples of furniture they’ve sold:
