furniture portfolio

i spend a lot of time "making over" furniture for clients, stores, and to sell. here's a sampling of some of my work! if you are interested in commissioning a piece, i am always open to ideas and commissions! email me at kristen.fountain@gmail.com

these louis-style chairs were given a light distressed look to go with their new upholstery job

this table, which my client purchased from craigslist, as-is, was painted in a black paint. we removed the paint, and i gave it a "Farmhouse Table" look...

we were going for a lacquered look:

wicker furniture:

pedestal table - a wonderful contrast with the more modern chairs:

***new!*** (still available - email me at kristen.fountain@gmail.com for purchasing/info! shipping available within U.S.) dresser - would be perfect for baby's nursery (changing table, etc!), child's room, fun statement dresser for a bedroom, a TV console, etc!

cowboy chic:

after:

pieces of a clients' "old" furniture that had seen better days, but i simply painted it black, did a little rub-off technique, and voila! it's got a new look:

kids' table and chairs set. my client had inherited an old table and chairs set from family, and wanted it to match her daughter's new playroom. she gave me a pretty loose "alphabet" theme, and told me to stay with gender neutral colors, so i came up with this!

since there were only two chairs, i did "a" and "z" on them:

the tabletop! so fun...

accent table (design hand-painted by me):

another accent table:

i painted the design on, and did heavy distressing and antiquing on top of it!
