Meet Maggie Smith of SmithMade Furniture Art
We're excited to feature the creative heart behind SmithMade Furniture Art in Airdrie, Alberta (just outside Calgary)!
For over 20 years, Maggie has been transforming forgotten furniture into extraordinary works of art. But her work goes deeper than refinishing – she sees possibility where others see worn or outdated pieces.
"I believe old things still have beauty. They just need someone willing to see it," Maggie shares.
Inspired by Victorian elegance, whimsical details, and a touch of fantasy, Maggie creates pieces with character and story. Her studio is where magic happens – where hours feel like minutes as she watches each piece evolve, layer by layer, into something with a whole new personality.
"There's something incredibly fulfilling about watching a piece transform," she reflects. "And even more meaningful is seeing someone else fall in love with it – watching it become part of their home and story."
This stunning chair showcases Maggie's artistry featuring our "Mint Sage Allure"
portrait on the front, beautifully integrated into the Victorian-inspired design.
👉 Visit Maggie's page to see the back of this chair – it's absolutely breathtaking with our "Natures Abstract Botanical" decoupage papers! You have to see it!
What Maggie does is pure redemption – taking something old and overlooked and revealing the potential that was there all along. She doesn't just refinish furniture; she brings it back to life, giving it a second chance to be loved and cherished.
