Jennylyn Pringle founded Fusion Mineral Paint, and this is the book she wrote to answer the question she is asked more than any other: where do I start?

Across 330-plus hardback pages she takes a piece from bare and battered to finished — preparation, choosing the right product for the job, brushwork, colour, and what to do when something goes wrong. More than 45 furniture makeovers are photographed step by step, so you see the decisions being made rather than only the result.

Written for the nervous first-timer as much as the practised refinisher.

Description

Most furniture painting is learned in fragments — a video here, a comment thread there, a technique picked up from someone who learned it the same way. This book is the whole thing in order, from the founder of Fusion Mineral Paint.

Jennylyn Pringle grew up in a paint family; Fusion's parent company, Homestead House, has been making paint since 1989. Twenty-five years of refinishing sit behind these pages, and what she has written is not a catalogue. It is the sequence: how to read a piece before you touch it, what preparation each surface actually needs, which product does which job, how to hold a brush so the finish looks intentional, and how to choose colour without second-guessing yourself for a fortnight.

More than 45 makeovers are worked through step by step and photographed in full — dressers, cabinets, tables, chairs, small pieces. There is a troubleshooting section too, which is the part most people reach for second and wish they had read first.

330-plus pages, hardback, and heavy enough to stay open on the workbench.
