Fancy meeting you here! I'm Jenn Baker and welcome to Eight Hundred Furniture!

My business is named after the square footage of my first apartment. I had lots of hand-me-down furniture that was high on quality but low on style.

I taught myself how to paint furniture out of necessity and soon it became a side hustle. Once I married my hunky hockey playing husband, Marc, I was able to quit my job in education and make a full-time go of painting furniture professionally. No matter where we have lived, I have always worked out of an 800 square foot space, proving you don't need a fancy setup to create beautiful furniture.

I'm a lover of good quality coffee, cat snuggles from Jake, our white truck affectionately called "The Marshmallow" and anything that has a cow on it. One day I'll convince my husband to let me own one.

You'll most likely find me head-deep in a dresser getting cobwebs out or nerding out on the fabulous features on a dresser I spied out of the corner of my eye. I make U turns for pieces on the side of the road and have no shame in digging for treasures in antique shops.

I'm so blessed you're here and it's my pleasure to share my Eight Hundred-sized world of furniture painting with you!
