About Tweaks On ' Tiques

Tweaks on 'Tiques started years ago with a love for collecting antique furniture and parts of antiquities that could be transformed into timeless treasures for the future.  We have a passion for finding the mundane traditional furniture to the unusual, from furniture that need just a fresh kiss to a piece of "junk" that only we know how to restore into making a rare one of a kind piece of furniture.  

 

We use time tested, as well as the newest up and coming paints and finishes to achieve the best look for each piece that passes through our hands.  We carefully repurpose, reconfigure, and re-imagine our furniture finds to provide for tomorrows heirlooms.  Careful consideration is enacted to preserve antique furnishings that might otherwise fall from grace.  Yesteryears craftsmen provide artful beginnings for a creative blend of the past and present.

MARY BETH LEMIEUX, OWNER, DESIGNER, AND LEAD FINISHER

 

"For as long as I can remember, I've always been interested in art and antiques. From the first time my mother showed me how to refinish a cedar chest, I've had a passion for antiquities.

I attended St. Mary's College, where I was trained to incorporate color into every artistic endeavor. Years later, I was employed in High Point, North Carolina screen printing on glass and wood for the furniture industry, where I also had the opportunity to develop colors and techniques for customers.

My next twenty nine years were spent raising my 4 beautiful kids while collecting antiques here and there. Now that my kids are grown I have had the opportunity to collaborate with cabinetmaker and designer Doug Wright and his cabinet company to create this new entity.  This opportunity has allowed me to further develop my education on painting techniques to bring to you the finest finishes for my furniture.

Today, I repurpose and refinish antique furniture from the past to create new custom furnishings and accessories for today's home that can become heirlooms for the future. I use only the finest paints and stains to create functional and elegant custom home furnishings.

I hope you enjoy my custom furniture. Feel free to contact me about existing pieces or any custom furniture work you wish to have done. You are also welcome to contact me about visiting my showroom, shop or warehouse if you are in the Toledo area, or questions on what's to come. I hope we can help create something new for you and your home.

Thank you and welcome to Tweaks on 'Tiques!" - Mary
