As a black female interior designer, I am committed to creating spaces that reflect the unique personalities and styles of my clients. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for design, I strive to bring your vision to life while adding my own touch of creativity. My approach to design is rooted in authenticity, cultural richness, and inclusivity. I draw inspiration from my culture, as well as from my travels and experiences, to infuse spaces with texture, color, and patterns that tell a story. With years of experience in the industry, I understand that not everyone has an "eye" for design, but that's where I come in. My ultimate goal is to create a unique experience through visuals, while providing exceptional service and a final product that exceeds your expectations. Let's work together to create a space that is both functional and beautiful, and most importantly, that feels like home!
"MaShonna was recommended to me by someone I know personally. She showed me her latest renderings and I was blown away by how professional it all looked. I looked into the service and found it to be reasonably priced and thought that it was worth a trial run. I decided to start with my office which I believe is likely my most difficult project as I wanted a lot of very functional pieces but also wanted it to look elegant. My designer was amazing. She listened to my needs and wants. Any and all feedback was thoughtfully considered and addressed. My final design is perfect. It is incredibly functional while also elegant and stylish. It reflects my style because she listened to me. I've used interior designers before and, while they were perfectly nice individuals, it seemed they were trying impose *their* vision on *my* space. My designer managed to take my vision and make it even better. She came up with solutions to meet my needs that I had never considered! And, when I wasn't in love with something she selected or proposed, she was incredibly professional and adaptable. There were times when my wants or ideas weren't realistic or there was a better solution. She patiently and professionally walked me through her thinking each time I had questions or concerns. Honestly, it was such a pleasant process. I'm not sure I could ask for anything more! I'll be using MaShonna for many more projects! This service is an incredible value. I would have paid more for the service and product I received but I'm not sure I would have initially tried the service if it had been priced much higher. I am extremely satisfied and will happily tell others about my experience."

My family and I have been dedicated to the restoration of antiques furniture and art objects for the past 60 years and we have enjoyed every moment. I personally travel to Rome and Florence at least once a year to attend seminars, to improve our skills and learn new techniques.
"This 70+ yr old table needed refinishing due to neglect as well as sitting in water during a hurricane flood. It was refinished to perfection! Beautiful wood on top and the legs look unblemished. Would do it again!"

"5/9/23 angi's / homeadvisor is a "nightmare" to leave this review. Both sites crash when leaving a reviews. IOs, firefox browser did not work....spent 2 hours on phone with angi's to get this review up. If you have the same problem call 888-260-2644 to verbally give your review. Mike was amazing. He came out 2 times and... Before the 2nd time on 5/6/23 he thought of an amazing way to fix the rooms to go recliner sofa. The 2nd small footrest that tucks under the couch on a cindy crawford sofa got stuck in down position, Both chairs on sofa. Really bad design since both went bad at the same time 3 years in. I and Mike Recommend don't buy Rooms to Go!! The more amazing thing Mike spent all that time and left me a drill set if I had to do more work later to fix the sofa recliners....FOR FREE. Only bad thing is that he got slightly mad in a text when we told him angi's could not find his company and we did not have his full name of his company. I understand since he did everything for free but it was angi's fault and should have taking it out on them. It took 4 days to get this review submitted."

In many cases, refinishing your furniture is more affordable than buying new. You can often save up to 50% compared to purchasing new pieces, while also reducing waste and preserving unique items.
When applying a darker stain, you don't need to completely remove the existing lighter stain. However, it's essential to sand the surface and apply a quality sealer before staining to ensure even coverage and adhesion.
Refurbishing involves gentle cleaning and minor touch-ups without altering the existing finish, preserving the original character. Refinishing involves removing the old finish and applying new stain or paint, resulting in a transformed appearance.
Furniture made from materials like plywood, particleboard, or MDF can be challenging to refinish due to their fragility. These materials require extra preparation and may not yield the desired results.
Yes, refinishing antique furniture can decrease its value because collectors often prefer the original finish. Before refinishing an antique, consider consulting a professional to explore restoration options that preserve its historical authenticity.
Water-damaged or swollen wood can be repaired if the damage is not extensive. You begin by assessing the severity of the issue before undertaking repair. Professional refinishing employs techniques such as sanding, filling, and targeted restoration to fix minor imperfections. Skilled intervention salvages the piece’s appearance while ensuring long-term durability and a refreshed finish.
