Description
I’m Mel from MelDidItHerself-- a social service worker turned full-time furniture painter & refinisher and content creator.
Doing furniture makeovers and upcycling furniture to keep it from the landfill is my passion, so I’m paying it forward by bringing you my tips on refurbishing and refinishing furniture, lessons learned from previous furniture & DIY projects, and sharing my journey in business as a furniture refinisher and entrepreneur.
Join me if you're a lifelong learner and busy bee like me that's interested in transforming furniture and bringing new life to the old & unloved!
