Title: Painting and Decorating Furniture by Sheila McGraw ISBN: 1-55209-380-8 Publisher: Firefly Books Pub. Date: September, 1999 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $29.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.29 (7 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: Easy read for beginners
Comment: The title is deceptive as the contents is purely for the beginners and a lot of the projects are decoupaging. It would be a plus if the book includes more painting techniques. Thus, this is not a book for the experienced decorator or painter.
However, this book will be a good start for beginners who wanted to try their hand at less frightening furniture decoration projects. The projects in this book are not complicated and they come with easy to follow instructions, aided by beautiful photographs.

Summary: Good for beginning furniture painters
Comment: I would NOT recommend this book if you are an advanced artist looking for new and fabulous furniture ideas. I was disappointed after receiving this book. This book does not contain anything that is "to die for", just the plain ole basics. However, if you are a beginner, this book will give you the basics for step by step furniture preparation and materials. It has good information on tools and lots of materials that are important to the beginner.
If you are looking for beautiful old world style, modern or contemorary painted furniture, this book is NOT for you.!!
I recommend: "Sophisticated Surfaces" by Karen Aude. It has beautiful professional ideas for walls, floors and furniture. It features professional artists and sample pictures of their painted furniture, walls and floors.

Summary: Painting and Decorating Furniture
Comment: This is, by far, the best "how to" book I have ever purchased. I was interested in some basics on how to paint/decorate a table & chairs for my Granddaughter and found this recommended book at Amazon.com. Best money I have spent in a while. Loads of interesting (but very simply stated) ideas on LOTS of projects. NOW I know how many of those items I have seen in antique stores and craft shows were created. My Granddaughter's table project is now on the right track. Thanks to this book, I have several other projects planned. Cudos to the author!!
