Handy Girl Design

Providing beauty and function for my customers makes me so happy! We have some fabulous fabric resources here in Chicago and I love shopping them for the perfect fabric!

Another furniture piece gets a 2nd life! Well loved, it needed a little face lift. Now it can shine again in my client's entryway. 🧡🧡🧡

Sanding the old finish off is only fun for maybe the first thirty minutes. But then when I put that first coat of stain on the bottom shelf piece and see the beauty of the wood, I feel that "ahhh" this is why I push through hours of sanding. 🧡🧡🧡

Sanding these slats was no joke. Justified a new tool purchase, yay! Hand held 1/2" wide belt sander. I 🧡 power tools.

My largest frame yet with poured acrylic paint application! Once all the updates were done in this dining room, table & chairs refinished to walnut color, extra chairs painted a light gray and hutch to navy blue, this yellow gold antique mirror no longer fit in.
Combining all the updated colors in the marbled look made the mirror the statement piece once again. If you look at the room reflected in the mirror you can see all the colors I represented using this technique. Thrilled with how this turned out! And best of all my client loves it too!

Hands on class working on your own chair! Would love to recover the seats on your dining chairs? Come learn how! We will teach you how on one chair of your own so you can go home and tackle the rest with confidence. You bring your chair and the fabric you want to use.
