Let’s Paint Furniture
About Me – Megan
I Believe There is Life Left in Everything
Discover your inner creative passion as I teach you how I found mine!
I firmly believe there are two kinds of creative people out there. Those who want to create out of love, and those who want to create out of necessity. I started out in a position where I was creating new looks out of necessity, but it soon became a labor of love.
Welcome to Let’s Paint Furniture
My name is Megan and I love giving new life to old furniture. Whether the piece is old and worn, or just has an outdated look, there is still life left in that piece. I have learned through classes, trial and error, and simple curiosity that furniture can be made into something new, no matter how it starts off looking. You can take an old piece and make something that is sure to become a family treasure, just by breathing new life into it with paint.
Let Me Teach You What I Have Learned Over the Years
Follow me on my journey of creating new looks on old pieces of furniture. I will share with you what I have learned along the way, what products to use (and which to avoid), and which pieces of furniture are the best to grab if you see them somewhere.
You can make the inside of your home glamorous, like what you see in a magazine. Take the trip with me and learn as I learn. We will all be better off for it in the end!
