This exquisite secretary was a perfect find for a client's living room. We purchased it from Karla Katz in New Orleans. It graces a wall as a dramatic statement.

This piece needed a facelift. We enlisted the help of Stephanie Jones with Me & Mrs. Jones Painted Finishes. She did an amazing job with black lacquer & gilt detailing.

The occasional table here originally was a milky flat green that wasn't special. We commissioned Stephanie Jones to black laquer it. Isn't it beautiful now?

This chest was so old-fashioned & tired in its original state. Stephanie Jones put a subtle grayish finish on it to help it feel like today. Special!!!

I saw these chairs & knew they could be great with a little tweaking. They're in our kitchen & are the perfect size with casters to boot. Stephanie Jones added her special touch with black paint & subtle glaze on the caning. Love, love, love!
