Her quick mind snatches the customer’s idea, making it come alive as she feeds it with her own creative input. "When customers come in to the shop, I say 'Talk to me.' Do you want to put the piece in a kitchen, dining room, bathroom, or corner of a living room? I need to know desired location, room type, and its function to help me generate the best options for your needs." - Lin Finnegan Interior Design Lin is always looking to purchase those unique pieces that make her decorating ideas and designs the ones that make you feel at home no matter what the occasion. The antiques Lin uses gives the designs a more personal touch. We look forward to hearing from you soon. Complimentary Consultation: Consultations are 30-40 minutes long and are scheduled with Lin. In the consultation we will discuss what you would like help with and what you are interested in learning. We will then go over our observations, suggestions for helping you and tell you how we would work with you. The purpose of the consultation is for you to get a better idea of who we are and if we would be a good match for you. Consultations are free of charge and are held at our store in Bedford. Call 814-977-2594 email [email protected] to schedule a complimentary consultation with no commitment required. Method of Stripping We use a flow over system that uses a nylon bristled brush. The chemicals flow through the brush and cleans the furniture. Then the furniture is rinsed with lacquer thinner. Within 20-30 minutes it’s ready to finish. Very little sanding needs done.
