COLOR CONSULT
Choosing paint colors is HARD. I totally get it. With time and experience, I have learned how to recognize undertones in colors and can help you find the best color for your project.
If you’re looking to paint your kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets, or front door in Wise Owl One Hour Enamel I can help you narrow it down to a few choices you can’t go wrong with. Or I can help you choose the best shade of white or gray or other neutral to compliment your current decor.
If you’re planning to tackle a small piece of furniture in your home with one of the amazing colors from the Chalk Synthesis line, we can talk through bold colors or neutrals and help you find the color that will help you to love your furniture again.

MEET APRIL
Hi, I’m April. Welcome and thanks for stopping by my little corner of the internet! 🙂
RAWHyde Furnishings came to be when I was looking for a change in life. I had a dream job as a marketing manager for the world-famous Grand Ole Opry here in Nashville, TN (for almost 15 years!) where my co-workers were more like family than co-workers.
But my life’s dream was to be a mama and I really wanted to try being a stay-at-home mom when the time came. I wanted to have more time at home and be able to spend more time doing the household things.

Rave Reviews
April is a wonderful and creative home improvement professional! Thanks to April, my home has 2 new pieces of beautiful furniture – very unique and one of a kind. I love them and so does my family and friends. Thank you April!
Kathy LeeApril did an excellent job finding and refinishing this piece for our home. The project was completed sooner than I thought, and for less than I had budgeted. She has great style and her technique is perfection. I am planning on doing business with her again and would highly recommend others to give RAWHyde furnishings a try.
Jessica BunchWe did an overhaul on our little girls bedroom. Rather than buying new beds, we had April refinish our cherry wood sleigh beds to a beautiful, antiqued white. Totally made the room! April is highly detail-oriented and will work diligently to make sure you are getting exactly what you want. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was able to work around our busy travel schedule and handled everything with the greatest care. We will definitely use her again!
Melanie PeetsApril does amazing work! She is my go to person for creating and (re) creating beautiful pieces for my home. Her work on a cabinet in my office always gets comments from visitors and she built a gorgeous guitar rack for my wall, a unique ask. In addition, she has sourced two antique benches that fit perfectly in style and size in two rooms in my home.
