Custom Painted or Decoupage Furniture

 Custom Painting
White on White Cottage Furniture

This is a piece a shop owner brought over for me to paint.  As a vintage furniture painter
I often get calls from antique and consignment shop to paint pieces that
have not sold. I give them a romantic fresh look.

Many times to save money they paint the base coat.  On this piece the base coat is Ben Moore Linen White. I added the shabby florals and bright white accent color.

I charge a flat hourly fee. (If you have seen my you tube Kathryn Bangs you can see how fast I paint) That way the shop owner can bring me a bunch of pieces and in a short period of time they have a new collection for there shop or website.

Shabby Roses Success Story.
I once painted a vintage vanity for a shop just outside of Boston. This vanity had sat in the shop for months the cost was only $50.00 but still it had no takers. I painted it a beautiful yellow added some white stripe and blue roses. I came out very pretty.
That piece sold within the week for $600.00... Romantic pretty is always in style.

Decoupage a Scrabble Tile Pendant Lesson



Working on some Scrabble Tile sheets for my folks that make and sell pendants. If you want to make a Domino Pendant, here's how I make them: Print out a collage sheet. Cut to your domino size. Paint the Domino with Modge Podge. Apply image and press to get out all the bubbles under the image. Paint the top layer with Modge Podge and let dry.
Glue a big bead to the top of the domino. To hang, string silk cording thru bead.
You're done!
