Love how Amy shares her passion for antiquing and finding treasures. I have the same passion, so this book inspired me to go hunt for more great pieces and enjoy transforming them with these wonderful products.

I feel like this is a really good company to work with. When I received my order the bottle had leaked and when I called them they were so helpful. I will definitely be buying from them again.

After learning so many amazing finishes in Amy's groups I purchased her book. I love having this book on hand to give me inspiration to pieces I have yet to paint. Amy gives wonderful easy to follow detail on how to achieve some beautiful pieces. What more can I say, you just have to get a copy for yourself.❤️

This book is so pretty and informative. I am excited to do a lot more projects. I painted our vanity cabinet in Boxwood Green and it was easy, used matte sealer and it is so smooth. My husband really likes how it looks.

The one step paint is wonderful. I have now painted three pieces since I discovered Amy Howard at Home. I have two more pieces to do in the bed room.

The book is beautiful I love Amy's story it reminds of what I kinda had in mind of doing when I retire from my cleaning buisness. I went to an Art high school and wanted to be an interior decorator but it didn't work out that way...but I'm glad to see that Amy was able to go places and do things back in the day that allowed her to create this idea of salvaging furniture which I began doing also just didn't have the time my Mother had Alzheimer's and Dad and I took care of her... but you Amy did it and what a blessing you are to me and a big inspiration thanks for giving me the product so that I can build my idea 😇 Sincerely Tanya Pearson

I used my new copper leaf with the sizing that worked perfect. I just wanted the copper in a few places on the table and I loved how it turned out. I’ve learned so much from the book!

Beautiful resource I love this book. Not only is it a well put together resource but it is beautiful too. I find it my go to book whenever I am relaxing, drinking my afternoon coffee and I just dream as I look around my home for things to refinish.
