Clients: Furniture Re-Do

Why buy new furniture when you can "re-do" your old furniture??  One of my friends and I were wanting to make her living area brighter, warm it up a little.  I suggested we  hang drapery and also paint her coffee table.  I must say it turned out fabulous!  If you are worried about ruining the value of your furniture, NO WORRIES!!!  Research shows that if your furniture is not 200-300 years old and in tip-top shape, it doesn't ruin the value at all!!  So Happy Painting :)

Residential Client:

I want to introduce everyone to Dr. Elizabeth Holmes.  She is a client of mine and also a great friend.  To tell you a bit about Elizabeth, she is an equine veterinarian here in Macon.  She specializes in acupuncture and dentistry.   I want to take the time to thank her for trusting in my designs.  Below are some of our projects. 

First, I apologize for the dark "before" picture.  I got a new camera for my birthday and I am still trying to figure out how to use it.  Elizabeth wanted to add drapery to her space.  I suggested we brighten up the space by adding crisp linen drapery with a decorative rod.  The walls are a warm beige, so the crisp white linen drapery really opens up the space and accents the room.

This coffee table below is in Elizabeth's living area.  It is a dark cherry finish.  Again, I suggested we antique this piece to brighten up the space. 

This doesn't even look like the same coffee table!  I love it.  It is really simple to refinish.  I will upload a picture of the table in the living area later.  It really brightens up the space.  It gives the room character.  Very Shabby Chic!

This is one of my projects.  I antiqued this oak console table to brighten up the living area.  If you have a piece of furniture you are tired of looking at, don't be afraid to experiment!  I can also help you decide what to do with your old furniture.  No need to go buy new, just re-vamp your old!
