I am the owner behind Painters’ Parlour!  I am the wife of Jordan (the muscles of the operation) and mother of three that began refinishing furniture shortly after our daughter, Mila, at the age of 2, was diagnosed with a life-limiting condition called Pearson Syndrome.  Pearson Syndrome is a type of mitochondrial disease that causes multiple organ failure.  As her condition has progressed over the years, affecting more and more organs, I left my full-time job to be more available for her needs and began refinishing furniture for profit in my free time. Painting furniture quickly became artistic therapy… the colors, the finishes, the transformations…

After years of refinishing furniture as Raven Street Market, I am now turning my sights to helping others do the same.  Whether you’re here because you have something you’d like to paint for yourself, you’re just beginning your “flipping-for-profit” journey, or are a current refinisher, I would love to help.  I could talk about paint all day!  The most important part of finishing is using the right products.  After trialing so many, from big box stores to smaller niche companies, I have found my favorite, most reliable products that make my job the easiest and are sure to last for years to come — and I’m sharing them right here in this shop!

Thank you for being here and supporting my shop.  I’m excited to share my passion, products, and everything I’ve learned along the way.
