Handpainted Custom Furniture Design

hand painted custom furniture design is becoming extremely popular among the more affluent members of American society. Local artists will paint any of the designs they offer or will do custom design work on commission. With some of them, you must supply the furniture, while others offer the furniture for sale as well.

All of the pieces are created by hand. Although most of the artists do not use stencils, many do use paint pens or air brushing. Each furniture piece is sanded, primed, coated with a water-base paint and finished with two-three coats of water-based polyurethane. The finished product is very durable and can be cleaned with a mild soap and water. Most of these pieces are not designed for outdoor use.

Most of the artistes that create handpainted custom furniture design take great pride in their work and in pleasing our customers. Each of the pieces is designed individually. Because each order is a hand painted piece there normally are slight variations. No two pieces are exactly alike, which makes yours a unique, one of a kind piece, signed and dated by the artist.

Hand painted custom furniture design is especially popular for children�s rooms. You can find many delightful examples of storybook characters and other fantasy themes available. Just think how your small children will feel if Winnie the poo and tiger are frolicking on their headboard and dresser. Perhaps your son would like a couple of star wars scenes on his desk or an daughter would enjoy having Barbie and Ken added to her dresser.

Some customers even provide rough sketches that the artist will convert into a finished product. Another popular area of the home for hand painted custom furniture design is the family room. I saw a beautifully painted room divider. It had an aquarium painted on it. You actually had to look twice to realize that the fish were not real.

Most of the furniture supplied by the artists is good quality unfinished furniture. Most of the time they paint the furniture, but my friend�s room divider was stained. The design was painted over that and then it was finished in the normal manner.
