PaintnGrit can help you with many creative services! I have the gift of seeing potential in a space or a piece of furniture. Let me transform your drab or cluttered room, neglected garden, or your tired furniture into a sparkling, revived gem!

I’m Jessica, and I live in beautiful Manchester, CT. I have a passion for all things transformative and peaceful. Envisioning the beauty in neglected furniture lights me up inside. Bringing peace to an unruly garden or order to a cluttered home space brings me joy. In this busy world, we all neglect things at times; let’s embark on this messy journey together to
find beauty in the imperfect.

Projects can range from small to large. Do you need some window boxes or a garden bed refreshed? Do you have a small end table or a large dining table needing some refinishing? Is your pantry or office space in need of reorganizing? Contact me for a custom quote for any of my services:

What are people saying?

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with my focus being child therapy. I wanted my office to look warm and inviting for the children as well as their parents or care givers. I struggled for months trying to get a look that was “right.” Jessica seemed to know the look I wanted and worked with me as the office was transformed. Jessica was patient with me, had a clear vision in mind, and brought that vision to life in my office. I can’t say how pleased I am with the way the office looks now. I have a dedicated playroom that the kids are thrilled to use, an office that feels inviting and warm, and a waiting room that is also warm and inviting. I am comfortable with my office space and am sure people coming in are comfortable as well.

Jess did a fabulous job painting our dressers! Her attention to detail was impressive while helping us choose the right color and new hardware. She even took the time to hide the 80s floral etched designs. Our set of dated mismatched dressers look modern and fresh!
