How many years have you been saying, 

“One day I will learn how to restore that,” and the project sits, or the opportunity is passed by?

"One days" can keep us from doing what we’re capable of today! 


THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET IT DONE & OVERCOME. 

You may look at other designers and think, I can’t do that. It’s beyond me. 

We ALL have to start somewhere, & many can attest that Janet takes intimidating projects and breaks them down into simple steps. 


"LOVE your tutorials! They always make a daunting job doable..."

Even if you’re advanced in your restoration skills, it’s easy to fall into the “one day” mentality. A little pressure to get a project done, and a community to spur you on can help you finish long awaited projects!
