From Forgotten to Fabulous

Have Something You Can’t Part With— But Don’t Quite Love?

Maybe it’s your grandmother’s china cabinet. Or that dresser you grew up with. It holds memories… but doesn’t quite fit your style (or your home).
I get it—and that’s where the fun begins.

Together, we can re-imagine it and give it a whole new life -- one that still honors the story behind it, but feels fresh, fun, and fully you.

Whether it’s a full-color transformation, playful patterning, or something completely unexpected, I’ll create a custom hand-painted piece that’s bold, fun and new.

Here are a Few of My Favorite Things

Scroll through the gallery below to see some of my favorite furniture makeovers. Let it spark your inspiration for the transformations you have in mind -- whether you bring your own treasure-in-the-raw or choose a piece from the unpainted pieces I have tucked away in my studio.

No two pieces are ever the same.

CUSTOM GALLERY

Carousel Horse

This vintage piece was a bit of a wreck when my clients brought him in. He was looking a little worse for wear. They wanted to show him some love and bring him back to life.

I painted him up and even got him a new horse hair tail. Adorbs in their eclectic front room.

Little Princess Make-Up Mirror

This piece I found in a thrift store. It was screaming for a transformation! Some funky pink patterns & flowers on the table top, a fully lined drawer just for fun, and new fabric on the chair -- and now it's the perfect piece as every little girl's dream!

Five-year-old Ivy was so excited when she saw it. And now she feels like a princess every morning!

Cherry Creek Art and Gift Gallery

Front Desk and shelving for the fabulous Art and Gift Gallery, Show of Hands right here in Cherry Creek.

The grandmother's clock, once a cherished piece, exuded charm but ultimately clashed with my client's vision for their space. They sought to infuse their home with vibrancy and playfulness, opting for decor that was colorful and fun rather than the traditional, stuffy aesthetic of the clock. While the clock held sentimental value and a lovely design, it stood in stark contrast to the lively atmosphere my client desired. Instead of a somber relic, they dreamed of a bright and cheerful ambiance, one that reflected their personality and brought joy to their living environment. In pursuing this playful approach, we came up with this fun, fresh design.

From Blah to Yippee!

Tulip Treasure Chest

This is such an adorable piece! Another wonderful thrift store find that I turned into a charming and functional storage chest. It was fully lined with a darling floral fabric pattern.

This landed down in Texas where its new family loved how it added a fun focal point in their room -- such flair and functionality too!
