Red Hare Furniture Restoration Boutique

Red Hare Furniture Restoration Boutique is a progressive approach to up cycling, renewing and restoring beauty and functionality to tired pieces of furniture. The products used to create unique one of a kind pieces are; chalk paint, glazes, washes, and waxes. These applications produce an updated and transformed piece of furniture that will stand up to today’s active lifestyles.
I have always loved to paint furniture, I still display and use pieces that I had painted 20 plus years ago. I am particularly fond of French provincial, beach cottage and shabby chic genre. These styles lend themselves to a warm casual home lifestyle.
My love for history guides me towards choosing older pieces of furniture. Older pieces are generally well built, solid wood, possess character and architectural features that are a joy to rejuvenate. I envision what the purpose of the piece was in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. A table, hutch, dresser or a dry sink, what was their function in the residence or tavern that they were used in? This is where the vision and journey of restoration begins. There is nothing more satisfying than bringing a piece back to be fully functional and utilized in today’s modern family. Especially if it's a custom order to revitalize your Grandmothers piece that's been collecting dust in the basement. By revitalizing piece’s that were a part of New England history and your families’ heirlooms I am ensuring that they will be loved and handed down to future generations.
My pieces can also be viewed and purchased at Tusk and Trunk, 121 Water St. Warren, R.I. located in the Historical District of Warren. Proprietress Jessica Pierce has welcomed me into her business and is excited to have exclusive sales to my pieces in her shop.
Custom restoration services along with selected pre finished pieces are available here on this page. Custom work assures you the look and style that you desire in your personal space. I am excited to go forth with this endeavor, I will bring passion and enthusiasm to this venture. I look forward to this undertaking of creating something new out of something old.

Warm regards,
