apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Bookmarked: The Furniture Doctor

atla-042408-doctor01.jpgSweet! So, you found this great piece on the street and you’re thinking you’d like to redo it. Gregory transformed an old stereo cabinet; why not you? Hmmm, but where do you start? A good idea would be by ordering this book. An antique dealer’s bible (we know, the copy our parents gave us is well-thumbed and splattered with chemical residue), it’ll save you a lot of money and heartache...

 
 

Yeah, you could find a lot of the same information online, but this book distills the simplest, the best, and most efficient way to repair and refinish your street or flea market find. From staining to liming, painting to shellacing, this book will point out the “how tos” in a folksy, simple way. Available through Amazon
