This piece was originally a plain black bombe-type buffet, but Kerry -- inspired by the famous Mackenzie-Childs look -- made it pop by painting a different design on every surface.

Bird Nest Table Kerry put a pale yellow distressed faux finish on this small table, then added the sweet bird nest scene.
Ornate Bench (before) This bench was beautiful, but the client wanted it completely different.
Ornate Bench (after)Kerry changed it to solid black with a punch of yellow and red tulips. At this writing, a coordinating seat cushion was being made for it.
Cabinet Bar (before) This large cabinet has a lighted bar and wine rack inside. Kerry's client had it in her store, but it just didn't sell. The picture at left is from the catalog, but the actual piece had a darker finish that looked almost black. She asked Kerry to give it a whole new look.
Cabinet Bar (after) What a difference! Kerry created a European botanical theme with lots of handpainted details, then gave it a distressed finish for an aged look.
Oak Hutch
Roosting hens were added to this oak hutch to turn it into a country conversation piece.

Kerry adds her unique handcrafted tassels to coordinate with each furniture piece.
Secretary (before)
This is a piece that Kerry was asked to repaint into something completely different.
(after)
Kerry used pastels in stripes, checks, and florals to completely transform this sectretary into a yummy addition to a little girl's room.
Rosy finials and a fairy on top!
Kerry is famous for her bunnies! (And somewhere in every bunny piece she always hides a painted carrot!)
Silky handpainted tassels add a special touch!
Moroccan Table

Child's Dresser
Kerry's client wanted a timeless feminine look for her granddaughter's dresser.
