Rethunk Junk by Laura
The paint behind the pieces
SeaBreezy Designs is an authorized Rethunk Junk retailer. It’s the paint used on nearly everything in the gallery — and the one you’ll learn on in class.
Why Sheree uses it
Made for furniture that gets used
Rethunk Junk is an all-in-one resin paint built specifically for furniture and cabinets. The resin is in the paint itself, so it seals as it dries — no separate wax, no topcoat step, no waiting a week to find out whether the finish will hold.
That matters more than it sounds. Most people who’ve tried painting furniture before and been disappointed weren’t doing it wrong; they were using wall paint on a coffee table. This is the difference.
- No sanding, no priming, no waxing in most cases — clean, paint, done
- Self-sealing resin formula dries to a hard, durable finish
- Sticks to difficult surfaces — wood, laminate, metal, ceramic, even plastic
- Forgiving for beginners, which is exactly why it’s used in class
The range
What’s in the line
A short list on purpose. Each product does one job well, and together they cover almost any furniture project you’ll bring in.
All-In-One Resin Paint
The core product. A resin-infused furniture and cabinet paint that goes on smoothly and dries to a hard, self-sealed finish — no separate sealer needed. Available across a wide colour range, from soft coastal neutrals to deep saturated tones.
Power Primer
A bonding and blocking primer for the tricky cases. It grips slick surfaces — laminate, metal, ceramic, glass — and blocks bleed-through from tannins, ink, water stains and smoke, so old damage doesn’t ghost through your colour.
Prep & Cleaner
Cuts through the dirt, wax and oils that build up on old furniture so the paint can actually bond. This step takes ten minutes and is the single most common thing people skip — and regret.
Topcoats & Finishes
For high-traffic surfaces — tabletops, cabinet doors, anything that will be wiped down constantly — there are finishing products that add extra protection and let you tune the sheen.
Brushes & Tools
The right brush genuinely changes the result. Ask which one suits your piece rather than guessing — it’s a small cost that saves a lot of frustration.
Colours
Colour is the part everyone agonises over. Bring a photo of the room, or the piece itself, and you’ll get an honest opinion rather than a sales pitch.
Learn it properly
Try it before you buy a whole kit
You don’t have to guess your way through your first can. Bring your piece to a class and you’ll use the products with someone standing next to you — prep, application, problem-solving and finish, all on your own furniture.
Most people leave knowing exactly which products they need for the next piece, and why.
