Our “SWEETHEART” of a Story

Pennsylvania We restore, and paint forgotten, unwanted furniture and home decor

The
Sweethearts and Painting
I call
myself the founder, but I refer to my husband Bob as the CEO (“Carries
Everything Out”) of the company. He is really the person who makes my visions
come to life by repairing- all of the old broken- down “treasures” that I bring
home.
Initially
this was something that we did out of necessity. As a young couple, we simply
couldn't justify buying new furniture for our home; we upcycled items before it
was the “thing” to do. Like many homeowners, we did what we needed to do to
fill up your empty house with quality furniture- from hand me downs to yard
sale finds.
Inspiration
and Medium
As far
back as I can remember I have always seen furniture being painted. My mother
was an artist who specialized in portrait painting and landscapes. If she
wanted something new, she would create it with a bit of paint. Landscape murals
filled the walls in our childhood home. With that background, I was never afraid
to paint anything-especially not furniture, and when I discovered Fusion
Mineral Paint, I was hooked. Deciding to sell Fusion products was the natural
next step for us as it is what we use exclusively- it is what we love!
I love
to teach and inspire others to paint and restore their own furniture with
Fusion Mineral Paint products. I am honored that you have taken the time to
read our humble story, and I hope that we can help bring your visions to life.
Hugs,
Wendy
