There’s a lot that happens before a piece ever makes it to the floor at M on the Square. As Jen sources each new find, she and Mike start the real conversation, not just what is it now? but what could it become? Do we refinish the existing wood and bring out its original character? Or does this one call for a completely new direction with paint? It’s never random. It’s thoughtful. It’s collaborative. And it’s rooted in respecting the piece while elevating it. This is the part we love, the back-and-forth, the vision casting, and the craftsmanship that follows. #chicagonorthshore #chicagopainting #furniturepainting #lakeforestillinois #finepaintsofeuropecertifiedpainter
