Glasshouse Girl provides furniture painting services to clients in the north London area and across the UK. Whether you want to makeover a piece of furniture that you already own or if you have something in mind and want me to source the perfect item(s) of furniture, I’m here to help. You can see my five-star Google reviews here.

Preparation

Glasshouse Girl believes that the key to painting furniture is in the preparation. When I first started doing this work, I almost cried when I realised how much and how important it is to the end result!! Any piece should first be washed carefully to remove all residues, oils and dirt. It should then be sympathetically repaired (where necessary), carefully sanded and washed once more before it is ready for painting.

Spray Painting vs Hand Painting

It’s then time for the colour coat or stain!  My standard and most environmentally friendly approach is to apply paints using a microfiber roller and you can see the quality of this finish by reviewing photos of my work in the image library. I do offer a spray painted finish but generally only use this on chairs as it is incredibly bad for the environment! For more shabby chic pieces, I also offer a hand painted finish. Glasshouse Girl can discuss this (and the options within these) with you to achieve the best result.
