Welcome to Make Me Over's Blog




Make Me Over
restyled furniture and decor

How many times have you wanted to refresh or restyle an existing piece of furniture in your home? Now is the time to transform that bookcase, armoire or end table that has been hiding in your home for years or is staring you straight in the face.

Make Me Over is a joint venture between Michelle Kenley and Chris Thomas, two friends with a vision. The idea for this business was born from a love of rescuing and reviving old furniture and other home décor items. We have given face lifts to many different pieces over the years and with our combined efforts, we can lovingly update your items.

We offer affordable restyling of your furniture through various techniques such as painting, glazing, antiquing or distressing. Our service allows us to take your furniture and transform it into a new treasure. We will work with you to decide the best technique fits your piece. We also have several furniture pieces that we have done ourselves and have on hand for sale. Also, if you are looking for something specific, we offer a Wish List Service and will attempt to find that sought after item for you.

We love to do this work. Chris brings her knowledge of know-how combined with a creative spirit all while doing what she loves...hunting for the perfect piece.

Michelle brings her eye for design together with great textures and fine details to instill the desire to have only what you love.

Here are some examples of our past work. We are also working on lots of new items and will have some before and after shots soon.
