Thank you for browsing my listings!

CremeMagnolia began as a dream. I have spent a lifetime in corporate America, always in positions involving creativity and marketing. Having lived all over the world, my family and I settled in the Mid-South, the Magnolia State, on eight wooded acres.

For years my hobby and passion has been turning junk or found items into home decor. That said, my family has always thought me to be more than just a little quirky, if not down right strange. Before dumpster diving became acceptable, I was the queen of "finders keepers." That said, I am blessed with at least 3 generations of artisans before me: cabinetmakers, sculptors, painters, and woodworkers to name a few.

I find that I am drawn to objects that seem to have no purpose either due to age or form. What gives me pure joy is to find new purpose, breathe new life into my rescues. I simply adore vintage or antique furniture or architectural pieces. Broken is better, there is no such thing as ugly, too big or too small. I love it ALL! Quality of life is that which makes us happy. That said, I left my executive position and haven't looked back!

We built a studio on our property to house my collections and I work to create beautiful and unusual items for my customers. My creations can be found in several Manhattan, New York, loft restorations, Los Angeles & San Diego homes and a Villa outside Mexico City to name a few.

I recently began selling some of my pieces on Ebay. Regularly I show furniture and smaller pieces in boutiques and galleries. My studio is full (from rafters to floor) of items in various stages of restoration. I am happy to accept special orders, if you don't see it in my listings, chances are I have it and just haven't gotten to it! Currently I represent 5 dealers who avail me a myriad of inventory from every province and style.

Bottom line, you want it, I have it! Many of my customers send photos of their homes and I complete the look.

One of my passions is Mosaic Art, created with antique china and vintage or antique glass. I see the patterns much like I would see the colors of paint. I create furniture and home decor items that you won't see anywhere else as they are my own designs & inspiration. It seems my calling in this medium is to rescue and transform items for entirely new purposes.

I have been turning grungy into gorgeous for many years and have NEVER had an unhappy customer. Please read my 100% positive feed back. For 35 years I have cultivated an excellent reputation, in the end, our reputation is all we have to sell! Thank you and please bookmark CremeMagnolia as a favorite seller AND let me know if you are looking for that special something.

Thank you, Karen
