About Me
Welcome to JustRestore! I’m Sabah Bardhan, the artist behind every transformation you see here. In January 2019, I launched this business with a mission to turn furniture into functional works of art. With a lifelong passion for painting and design, I blend artistry, craftsmanship, and sustainability in every project. My creative journey began with painting acrylics and watercolor, and I had the opportunity to showcase my work at exhibitions across the Middle East, including a live demo at DIFC Art Nights in Dubai. Over time, I transitioned from canvas to furniture, merging my love for art with the functional beauty of design.

-
How much does it cost to restore a furniture item?The cost depends on a few factors like the type of furniture, its condition, size, and the style you’re looking for. Whether you want simple paint or a full artistic makeover, I’ll work with you to create a custom quote that fits your vision.
-
How can I get a quote for my furniture?To get an accurate quote, just send me: • A clear photo of the piece • Its dimensions (Height x Width x Depth) • Any reference images or a brief description of your vision If you’re not sure exactly what you want, no worries! I’d be happy to help brainstorm ideas based on your style and decor.
-
How long does it take to restore a furniture item?The timeline depends on how complex the design is: • For simpler, single-color finishes or basic effects: Around 5–7 working days • For intricate artwork or custom designs: The time will vary based on the detail involved
-
What types of furniture can you paint?I work with all kinds of furniture and materials, including: • Wood, MDF, and laminate • IKEA furniture (yes, I can work with that too!) • Glass, metal, plastic, and outdoor furniture • Kids’ furniture
-
Is a painted furniture item durable?Absolutely! Every piece is sealed with 2–3 coats of protective finish to ensure it’s durable and can handle everyday use. You can choose from a clear wax or a lacquer (gloss or matte), depending on the look you want.
-
How should I care for my restored furniture?After restoration, your piece will be sealed to protect it. Here’s how to care for it: For Wax-Sealed Furniture • Wax takes about 4–6 weeks to fully cure, so light use is recommended during that time. • After curing, it’s water- and scratch-resistant. • Dust with a soft cloth and use a damp cloth for cleaning once it’s fully cured. For stains, use a diluted mild baby soap. • Always use coasters and placemats to avoid marks from hot drinks or oils. For Lacquer-Sealed Furniture • Lacquer takes 15–20 days to cure. After that, it’s water- and scratch-resistant. • Clean with a damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals. • Like with wax, protect surfaces from heat or liquids with coasters. For Outdoor Furniture • My lacquer has UV protection, but it’s still best to keep outdoor pieces covered during curing (about 15–20 days). • Clean the same way as lacquer-sealed furniture and keep it covered when not in use to preserve the finish.
