Hey there,

Thanksgiving’s right around the corner, and I’m already excited to spend the day with my family.

As the years go by and my kids now have kids of their own, everyone’s schedules seem busier than ever. That’s why this year, it will feel extra special to have the whole family gathered around my dining room table.

As everyone eats, talks, and laughs together, I know I’ll take a moment to appreciate the table itself. I put a lot of work into refinishing it, and now it holds more than just dishes and decor— it holds memories, stories, and a bit of my own handiwork.

There’s something about having my family close, gathered around something I put time and care into, that makes this season feel like home. 

I love imagining this same scene happening in homes all across the country— families gathering around tables, appreciating their spaces and the people who fill them.

Take a look at my dining room table and the transformation I’m so proud of!

If you’re looking to create that picture-perfect holiday scene this year, a beautifully refinished piece of furniture can make all the difference. When done right, refinished furniture can transform a room and bring a touch of warmth and personality that’s perfect for the season.

I know refinishing furniture can sound daunting. Some people love the idea, while others find it overwhelming (especially if they’re reminded of that half-finished dresser collecting dust in the garage).

That’s exactly why I created the Furniture Refinishing Course, the latest addition to the Paint Life Academy.

With the right steps, products, and tools, painting and refinishing furniture can be both fun and rewarding. Whether you want to update your home or start a flexible side hustle, mastering furniture refinishing is an excellent skill to have.

The Furniture Refinishing Course will teach you everything you need to know to create one-of-a-kind custom pieces with professional-level finishes.

So if you’re dreaming of a beautiful home for the holidays or eager to build a side hustle you love, now’s the perfect time to dive in. Check out the Furniture Refinishing Course to get started and skip the trial-and-error phase. With the right training, you can truly master your craft. 

Here’s to a warm, welcoming home for the holidays— and maybe a few more DIY projects along the way.

Best,
Chris Berry
