Functional Flair

Upcycled furniture and Custom Painting available for purchase. Also things that I find interesting and fun along the way.

Functional Flair is v.2 of a story that began over 5 years ago. During this time, I have learned how to find quality furniture and make it into something artistic for the home. I love finding pieces that are unique and in great shape, but just need a little love. The pieces I truly fall in love with are the ones that I can envision in their completed transition.

Bittersweet day today as I locked up The Vintage Loft for the last time . They are still open, but I've decided to leave. It has been a blast and I have loved all the vendors over the years, but with Ceee going off to college in the fall, I'm ready for the next chapter. Fitting that Gloria Gaynor's version of "I will always love you" was playing as I drove by. Good news for all of you, my stock is heavily discounted at the store. My items will be there until the end July. Pop in and enjoy the discounts!

This beauty found her new home. It was fate. Sometimes it takes a while to find the right person, and she waited for just such an individual and found her this weekend. Enjoy your new piece Kathy! She fits perfectly in your home. Thanks for loving her!!

Nothing starts your day off right like waiting in line for the DMV to open so you can get on the virtual waiting list and hopefully get your son’s permit by the end of the day 🤦‍♀️🙄

Making your old furniture new again

Functional Flair is v.2 of a story that began over 5 years ago. During this time, I have learned how to find quality furniture and make it into something artistic for the home. I love finding pieces that are unique and in great shape, but just need a little love. The pieces I truly fall in love with are the ones that I can envision in their completed transition. Friends have called this the “Furniture Whisperer” part of what I do. New and trending colors make the journey even more exciting. I am not afraid to try a bold new color, but understand the beauty of a simple pallet as well. Basically, I find furniture that is Functional and give it a little artistic Flair.

Custom painting is also a service that I offer. Everyone has a piece they love, but want a fresh look to the piece. I will work with you to find the perfect color and technique to make that loved piece new again. Just contact me at functionalflair.com and we’ll get the process started!
