Margaux Antonino

Let me be your “go to friend” to help you with your home and project transformations. This may include repurposing what you already have in your home for furniture and cabinet transformations. I love helping people in creating a home that they love on a realistic budget. I am your personal design consultant and provide one on one service. I am a firm believer that home, cabinet, and furniture transformations are completely possible without draining your bank account.
All of my vintage finds and hand painted furnishings can be found by shopping at Grace (http://gracestores.wordpress.com/) located in Niantic, Ct or through at Maximus Antiques (http://www.maximus-antiques.com/) in Old Saybrook, Ct.
Sign up for available workshops at Grace, which are oriented and created to teach Annie Sloan® decorative painting techniques. Our goal is always focused on inspiring our costumers to paint everything in sight! You’ll soon discover that these aren’t just ordinary paint finishes but a foundation of specialized techniques from which you’ll learn to create your signature looks with modern materials and application methods. There are many workshops that are created to help you learn and achieve your decorating goals.

Often with design- the use the analogy of a “road map” is helpful. You don’t typically get in your car and ask for directions without knowing your destination! But yet, people often take this approach when it comes to decorating or paint projects. They just start buying items and making decisions, without a plan and knowing the final design they want. This wastes your time, money, and makes you feel overwhelmed. Again, let me help you! Even the most indecisive customer can be inspired! The design discovery phase should be fun. Don’t dread it, I can make this inspirational, easy and enjoyable. Make your house your HOME!
