Karen Guard

Karen’s painted furniture pieces are featured at several Richmond area stores and she chronicles her before and after furniture projects at darlingoctopus.com. She uses her love of color and pattern to transform vintage furniture and house ware finds. DIY comes naturally to her and she is always looking for a new challenge. When she is not in the studio you will find her haunting the fleas markets and thrift stores of Richmond. Her goal, taking unloved things and making them pretty.
