Non-toxic, eco-friendly way to strip your furniture of its old varnish or paint. Yes it can get messy, but it works a charm! Not available in the US, but I hear CitriStrip is an amazing green stripper too!

The expert re-finishers at Gilboy’s in England created this all natural finish that is not only beautiful, but super easy to use, water resistant, food safe, and hard wearing.

Before you use a varnish stripper, remove a good chunk of old finish with a carbide scraper (be careful on veneer). So easy, yet so effective. It’ll make your stripping job even faster!

If you want crisp lines but you literally are in the middle of a project with newly dried paint, this stuff will be your savior. Pro tip, paint your clear topcoat on top of the tape before you paint for sharp lines!

Another eco-friendly product we use constantly. We use these to stir paints, topcoats, and even as wood detailing on drawers.

Go green with this water based wood dye. We’ve used the dark walnut on multiple projects and love the finish. Pro tip, raise the wood grain with some water and sand before using.
Littlefair's Water Based Wood Stain - Dark Walnut
The classic Zinsser stain blocking primer’s cousin…water based stain blocking primer! So much easier to clean up, but still has the powerful stain blocking properties we all know and love.
Zinsser Bulls Eye Water Based Primer
Pick a colour, any colour (shown here is my favourite matte black) and it will paint on like a dream. This paint is self leveling and will leave you with a silky smooth finish. We love using a roller, but you can spray or hand paint as well!
