Painted Furniture
Just a few coats of paint, expertly applied in the right hue, can add years of life to any piece. Add some layered finishes, a glaze or a bit of art work and you have a treasured and personal masterpiece! In the gallery below you’ll see a variety of these transformations. Imagine what your piece could be! I’m happy to work in your home or bring your furniture to my studio to complete the process, OR call me for a consultation on how to do it yourself.
