My 5 Favorite Brushes – The Professional Set for Furniture Upcycling

Save 15% compared to buying them individually and get the exact five brushes that I’ve been using every day in my workshop for years—including the high-quality da Vinci brush soap for optimal care.

These five brushes are my go-to tools for nearly every single furniture project. They’re my absolute favorites because they perform reliably, are durable, and work perfectly with chalk paints, mineral paints, waxes, clear varnishes, decoupage papers, and stencils.

If you’ve ever seen me at a workshop or in one of my videos, you probably already know them.

With this set, you’ll get the exact same tools that I use every day in my workshop at Elfen & Helden—and you’ll save 15% compared to buying them individually.
