Exclusive Painted Furniture

While most furniture stores stock a variety of items from well-known manufacturers, we are pleased to have relationships with painters and artisans who make exclusive lines just for The Kellogg Collection.

One of our signature collections is our painted furniture — some pieces are built new, while others are vintage and antique that we purchase and have painted.

One lady does all the painting for us, whether it’s for our in-stock collection, or a design and color created especially for a customer’s home.

Our pieces are most popular in bedroom settings:

In addition to shelving, end tables, desks and dressers, we also paint headboards:

The painted furniture is available only in our DC store. All of our painted designs are done by hand rather than with a stencil. Our artist also paints everything from lamps to waste baskets, as you can see above. She even does smaller items such as picture frames.

Here are some up-close examples of her work:

Both pieces you see above are mahogany dressers that were made in the ’30s and ’40s. These pieces serve as the inspiration for the new furniture we design to coordinate with them.

Light blues and greens are our standard colors, but we can mix any custom color you want.

Here are some samples of new pieces we’ve made, waiting to be painted in your own special pattern:

Handmade Cotton Rag Rugs

We try to keep our furniture and accessories collections current and fresh, but some designs are timeless — consistent best sellers. One example is our line of colorful cotton rag rugs, hand woven on a loom by a Vermont craftsman. He has a great eye for color palettes, and even though he buys fabric for his rugs from multiple sources, he keeps them in a consistent shade.

Our man in Vermont has been weaving rugs for us for years, and he does custom work as well. Many of our customers provide fabrics from their home, whose colors he can match for a rug of any size in the same colors.

In the store, we hang many of the rugs on the walls to show how well they coordinate with the furnishings:

And here are some samples of the colors available:

These cotton rag carpets are a homey touch that will instantly warm a space and give it a casual, colorful feel. It’s great for kids’ rooms, second homes, or sun rooms. They hearken back to an earlier time, as does our artisan. He practices his craft without the use of any new technology, and he doesn’t even own a computer or fax machine. We personally phone in every order.
