Sarah Bezanson
I’m Sarah Bezanson, an interior designer and furniture painter based in New Hampshire. I started painting furniture as a way to decorate my own home.
What began as a creative outlet quickly grew into a business. Over the years, I’ve now painted hundreds of furniture pieces for both my own home and for clients, helping transform outdated or overlooked pieces into something beautiful and meaningful again.
Through that experience, I’ve developed a clear, step-by-step process that takes the guesswork out of furniture painting and helps others feel confident creating pieces they truly love for their homes.
If you’re ready to stop second-guessing and start your next furniture project with confidence, this guide will walk you through every step.
