My Custom Refinishing Process

1. In-home Consultation

Your custom refinishing project begins with an in-home consultation where I get to know your style, your furniture, and the look you are trying to achieve. We will discuss any specific ideas or photos you may have. We can browse my collection of sample finishes, textures, and techniques — many of which can be tailored to fit your color scheme. Our conversation will help me create a custom finish that complements your pieces, your decor, and your desired aesthetic.  

2. Customizing Your Finish

Back at my workshop, I use the input from your in-home consultation to design and create one or more custom finish options for your pieces. Once these are prepared, we will meet again to review your design options and select your desired finish.  I will also share a detailed project estimate and timeline based on the materials and steps required to achieve your custom finish. Once approved, I will schedule your project and start the transformation.

3. Refinishing & Reveal

My workshop is where the magic happens, using hand-crafted techniques to achieve a harmonious design that allows your project to come to life. I use only top-quality products and environmentally friendly materials. Along the way, I will send photos, so you can see how your project is progressing. Finally, your pieces will come with care instructions to keep your custom finish looking great.

My Refinishing Services

The following services are available as part of my custom furniture refinishing process.

  • From multi-layered paint to elegant glazes, rich stains, subtle color washes, and eye-catching metallics, I create bespoke designs that transform your furniture into personalized treasures.

  • Using special tools and techniques, I am skilled in several custom faux finishing techniques including faux linen, faux marble, and faux wood grain. Check out my Sample Finishes Gallery to see a few examples of what’s possible.

  • For existing hardware, I offer cleaning, polishing, waxing, sealing, painting or refinishing. And for an updated look, I can source and replace your hardware with new knobs, hinges, handles, or drawer pulls to seamlessly match your newly customized finish.

  • Looking for vintage charm? My techniques evoke a sense of graceful aging by focusing on areas like edges and corners that naturally wear over time. The level of antiquing or distressing can be customized to your liking to create a multi-layered look with depth and authenticity.

  • Metallic gilding adds a touch of elegance to your piece by accentuating the intricate details, trim or hardware. I can apply in solid layers or distress the leafing to achieve an aged, timeworn look.

  • If your pieces need a little fixing up, I can do many minor repairs to get your furniture ready for refinishing including sanding scratches, dents and dings; filling holes, cracks and gaps; securing loose joints, legs, veneer or trim pieces; and repairing or replacing broken parts, back panels, or trim. Additionally, I can do modifications to update the style such as building a base to increase height, adding or changing furniture legs, removing or replacing decorative trim.

  • Every project begins with a thorough cleaning inside and out. Then, depending on the selected finish, your furniture may require stripping off existing finishes, sanding, bleaching wood grain or dark stains, or application of stain blocking primer. Additionally, I can refresh the inside of cabinets and drawers with decorative paper, wood condtioner, or paint/stain.

  • If your seat cushions are easily removable (i.e. dining chair cushions) I can recover them with any fabric that you provide.

  • Depending on the size and weight of your furniture, I can provide pickup and delivery within 50 miles of Hilton Head. For larger pieces, I can help you arrange furniture movers.
