Custom Furniture Painting

My name is Kristin LeDuc, owner of Porch Nook, located in Frederick, Maryland. I have been painting furniture for over a decade, and what began as a creative passion has grown into a thoughtful, design-driven service.

If you have a piece of furniture that you love but feel is no longer working in your home, I help you transform it into something that feels intentional, personal, and beautifully aligned with your space.

This is not just about painting furniture. It is about reimagining it with care, experience, and creative direction.

We Start Here

Custom furniture painting projects begin at $1,500.

Most Porch Nook projects fall between $1,500 and $3,500, depending on the size, condition, and level of transformation.

Each project is unique. Final pricing is provided after an initial review so your piece can be approached with the time and attention it deserves.

If this investment range feels right for you, the next step is to schedule a consultation.


What It Is Like to Work Together

I understand that painting furniture can feel overwhelming. It can be messy, time-consuming, and difficult to get right.

What I offer is a guided experience where you are supported through the creative decisions while I handle the technical execution.

You are not just handing off a piece. You are participating in a transformation.

The Porch Nook Process

Consultation and Creative Direction

We begin with a conversation about your piece, your home, and your vision. I guide you through color selection, finish options, and overall direction so the piece feels cohesive within your space.

Preparation and Refinement

Each piece is properly prepared to ensure durability and quality. This step is essential and is never rushed.

Custom Paint Application

Your furniture is completed using layered, hand-painted techniques and finishes tailored to your project.

In-Process Review

You will have the opportunity to review the piece before final sealing. This ensures the result aligns with your expectations.

Completion and Delivery Coordination

Once complete, your piece is carefully prepared for pickup or delivery within the Frederick, Maryland area.

What Shapes Your Investment

Your project is priced based on the full scope of work, including:

  • Size and scale of the piece
  • Current condition and required preparation
  • Level of detail and customization
  • Type of finish and protective sealing
  • Design involvement and creative direction

Some projects may include multiple pieces when the overall scope aligns with the minimum investment.

The Porch Nook Approach

Every piece of furniture has a story. My role is to help you preserve that story while creating something that feels fresh, functional, and at home in your space.

This is a collaborative process built on trust, creativity, and experience.

Is This the Right Fit for You?

This service is best suited for those who:

  • Want to keep and transform meaningful furniture
  • Value a custom, guided experience
  • Appreciate handcrafted painted finishes
  • Are comfortable investing in professional work
  • Do not have a tight completion deadline that would compromise the recommended 30-day curing process

This may not be the right fit if you are looking for the lowest-cost option or a factory-smooth finish.
