The furniture refinishing business is a natural fit for Quann. She describes herself as always having been a creative person. The art of woodworking, in fact, piqued her interest from a very young age.All of her skills are completely self-taught. To source the furniture she works on, Quann turns to Facebook marketplace. Other times, she merely finds it on the side of the road, discarded for big garbage pick-up day.
“I worked on it in the middle of winter and every product was working against me with the cold weather. It took many hours to complete, but it was worth it in the end for the excitement and love on my clients’ faces,” she says.This old wardrobe was in for a glow up once Marley Quann got her hands on it. - Contributed
To help her keep track of her projects, Quann keeps an inventory of furniture. She then makes schedules for what pieces she hopes to refinish within the month. In the future, Quann says she would love to start making her own furniture to sell. Currently, she builds new bases for some of the pieces, but she would like to start making the entire item. Additionally, she says she would also like to make more mosaic art designs for customers to choose from.
