Summary
Details

Retirement is the perfect time to discover new passions, and restoring vintage furniture is a fulfilling, hands-on hobby that can also put extra money in your pocket. Whether you're looking to bring life back to forgotten pieces for your own home, sell refinished furniture for profit, or simply enjoy the rewarding process of working with your hands, this guide will help you get started.

Learn how to find hidden gems at thrift stores, estate sales, and auctions, and uncover the best techniques for stripping, painting, staining, and restoring furniture to its former glory. No prior experience? No problem. With clear, easy-to-follow advice, you'll gain the confidence to transform worn-out pieces into valuable treasures.

Beyond the craft of restoration, this book will also show you how to turn your passion into a side business. Discover pricing strategies, where to sell your work locally and online, and how to market your pieces to attract buyers. Whether you're looking for a creative outlet, a way to supplement your income, or a new skill to master, this book will show you how restoring furniture can be both enjoyable and financially rewarding.
