All my pieces are unique—many created from furnishings that were once discarded or from thrift-store finds that I rescue and give new life. The furniture on this page represents my personal aesthetic: from fun and funky to chic and trendy. If you’d like something similar for your home, you can bring me a piece for custom rework. Or, if you are working with me on an interior design project, I can “reinvent” a piece for you.

Red Lacquered Side Chest

One of my favorite pieces, this “fantasy” red side chest began its life as a rustic early American “night commode” of sorts. Inspired by the elaborate scalloped back, I decided to accentuate its playful qualities. I substituted decorative legs, applied Asian-inspired applique to each of the drawers, added antique crystal pulls, and mirrored and trimmed the door. Finally, the piece was refinished in a deep, eye-catching red. The result is at once sophisticated and whimsical—the kind of accent piece I love to create.

Mid-Century Modern
Coffee Table

Once a fairly utilitarian Danish modern side/coffee table in a light oak, this table takes on new life with a new finish of vivid blue on the base and a highly varnished, deep ebony stain on top. This is a great example of how refinishing can radically change the look of a simple piece. The new colors accent its mid-century modern qualities and give it retro flair. What was once bland is now vibrant.

Rustic Blue Side Table

What was once a solid, but unassuming well-worn work table has a fresh new look after a lot of sanding and a thin wash of blue glaze. Just enough distress comes through to give the surface great character and an interesting patina. Changing the color from the unstained natural wood to the subtle blue takes it from a bland work table to a great accent piece with a a hip, vintage modern feel.

A glaze of black over red creates a great tonal finish on this desk I created from a found table top paired with black legs.

A retro shade of turquoise and vintge orange bakelite pulls take a simple dresser and make it mid-century cool.

Pair of Hand-Painted Tables

These vintage side tables were given a new look in a wash of muted French blue, providing a wonderful aged patina. The result is fresh and fun.
