Mike Castree
Mike is my business partner and also my dad. We have been working together on our successful online furniture refinishing business since 2017. Mike adds character and flair and is our in-house expert when it comes to prep. He will share his years of knowledge when it comes to preparing furniture ready to be refinished.
Melanie Wright
Hey there, I'm Melanie, and I love to help others who are struggling to find a solution to their problem. I am a trained interior designer and brought this passion into our furniture transformations. I found the solution to creating the perfect finish on furniture, and now I want to share my knowledge with you.
I have been talking to Mike about this for years, and finally, he agrees we should offer an online course to you in the comfort of your own space at home.' A course?' I hear you say, would you like to learn how to paint and re-purpose furniture just like us?
​
Three things we are thinking of offering:
-
Beginners Guide To Refinishing Furniture online workshops to learn the fundamentals of furniture refinishing
-
Advanced workshops for those who want to learn different paint techniques and re-purposing pieces of furniture into something different, like working vanity sink units
-
Hobby To Online Business workshops to help you develop your hobby of refinishing furniture into an online business
​
The 'Beginners Guide To Refinishing Furniture' is completed and can be purchased now.
​
The Advanced course is being created for you at present.
The Hobby to Online Business course will share how to create an online business like ours. It is flexible because we haven't created it yet, but we would love your thoughts or input on any content that may help YOU. Please let Mike and me know how we can help you.
If you are interested in any way, even if you don't know how we can help at this stage, then contact us via email or phone for a chat.
