Montclair Designs Let us turn your furniture into art- whether it's restoring a finish on a treasured heirloom or rev I grew up watching my parents refinish and paint furniture.

When I got out on my own, I just thought it was what one does. Over the years, my husband and I have decorated our home with furniture that we have refinished or painted. My husband, Buddy calls me the Furniture Whisperer because I say that I let the furniture tell me what to do. Buddy owned and operated a Drapery Workroom in Huntsville. His work can be seen in some of the nicest homes in Nashville, Huntsville, Madison and Athens. We decided in the summer of 2016 to turn our passion into a business. Montclair Designs is the creative expression of this husband and wife team. Let us turn your furniture into art - whether it's restoring an original finish or reviving an old favorite for a fresh, new look. You can also browse our curated collection. We select the most interesting pieces, and carefully inspect for structural damage. Repairs are made as needed. Each piece is thoroughly cleaned -inside and out. Then we sand or strip. Two coats of primer are applied and sanded for the smoothest finish possible. Now, we let the furniture speak. We finish each piece in the way that best reflects it's style and history. We offer personal shopping to help you find the perfect piece, then finish in a technique that reflects your unique style. Montclair Designs is the fun place to shop for the most uncommon home furnishings.

We are delighted to have our work in another beautiful home! Our client knows how to use antique and vintage furniture in a fresh, contemporary way. She realized that a pickled finish was exactly what her vintage mahogany drum table needed.

If at first you don't succeed- strip that baby and start over! This old weathered table was restored. Twice. In honor of its age ( and miles), we wanted a salvaged, bleached out look. We cleaned, stripped, sanded, and finished with a clear, water based top coat. But something wasn't quite right. So we stripped and sanded it again and finished with a warm tung oil finish. The results were better than we hoped for. This rustic table is the perfect balance in our client's contemporary home.

I scored this gorgeous square table and started its restoration. It had the beautiful weathered look I was looking for and just look at those legs! (You know I have a thing for legs). The nice, warm weather has been perfect for furniture stripping! Stay tuned.

Has there ever been a more gorgeous piece of furniture than a wrap bed? I've always wanted one. This one is 100 years old. It was in pretty rough shape when it came to us. We made the necessary repairs and painted it a soft sand color. I think it will be enjoyed for another 100 years.

Progress. I honestly have nothing to do with this project besides assisting the artist, but I'm having fun!

I've been having so much fun this week assisting Honeyblood with a mural in Courtland AL. If you've never been, you should! The mayor and every resident I've met describes it as "quaint ". They are having a vintage car show this Saturday and expect at least 150 cars to be shown. (I don't know where they will park them all) I hope to see you Saturday.

We fell in love with this piece when we bought it a few years ago. It got pushed further and further back into the shop because of other projects. It is the same style, although not exactly the same pattern as the vanity so it was the perfect companion piece. Next is the gorgeous wrap-around bed.
