Furniture Redesign
Why Paint Furniture?
Upcyling is a responsible and elegant solution to the problem of increased disposable products crowding our landfills
​
Painted furniture is an extremely popular decorating style
​
Transform a cherished piece to fit your current décor or preferences
​
​Incorporate a “feature piece” into your home and wait for the “WOW!” responses from visitors
What can I transform
for you?
​
Let’s explore color and style on a piece you’d like to make uniquely yours.
Your piece or my current inventory available for customization?
What I won’t paint
-
Authentic antiques whose value would be diminished by disturbing the original finish
-
Pieces that are inherently cherished for their history (such as my grandmother’s primitive Louisiana cypress kitchen table with over 150 years of chippy paint)
-
Pieces in which the patina and finish are just too beautiful to cover up
What’s fair game with paint brush in hand:
-
Any piece that has a damaged finish or has lost its luster
-
Vintage pieces whose color is outdated with current decorating schemes or client preferences
-
Those that have features that I know would be stunning or attention-getting with specific paint techniques and colors
My work:
A piece transformed by Jean Kidd ReDesign Studio will be thoroughly cleaned and prepared. Premium furniture paints and topcoats are applied in multiple steps to assure durability and long-lasting beauty. When appropriate, I love to incorporate fabric, layered textures or specialty papers in the total design.
​
Who Do I Engage?
I seek to create one-of-a-kind pieces by collaborating with home owners, designers, and stagers.
