Hand Painted and Stenciled Furniture Ideas

Hand Painted and stenciled furniture is a great way to update and old piece of furniture and give it a new look. I have many clients who have older chairs, dressers and tables that still have a lot of life left in them, they have great bones, but most of the time it’s just the color that’s wrong. Painting furniture updates those items in a snap! I am finally getting a lot more of my work into my features some of my best and favorite before… I wanted to share some of my hand painted and stenciled furniture ideas with you.
