Words from my Clients
"We are absolutely loving our dining table! All our visitors commented on it, even the kids thought we bought a new one. Jean also restored our coffee table, which we originally planned to put into storage, but it turned out so beautifully that we decided to move it back into the house."
"I am very happy with the bedside tables made by Jeanie B Furniture. From start to finish, Jean was incredibly helpful and collaborative, keeping us updated throughout the process. I will happily recommend her services to anyone, we couldn't be more satisfied."
"Jean restored our globe chair just before Christmas when we urgently needed extra seating for guests. She was so helpful and managed to fit the job in for us, which we truly appreciated. The chair turned out beautifully, and both my husband and I were thrilled with the result."
