Commission · Calgary Studio
Custom for you
Commission a custom
furniture transformation.
Vibrant Vintage Furnishings is a Calgary furniture studio creating one-of-a-kind refinished pieces. Share what you have or what you are dreaming of, and Kara will design something made specifically for your home.
Commissioning a piece with Vibrant Vintage Furnishings is a quiet, collaborative process. You bring the piece — or the dream of one — and Kara brings two decades of an artist's eye for colour, finish, and the way furniture should feel inside a beautifully lived-in Calgary home.
Whether you want a tired dresser made unforgettable, a buffet refinished to anchor a dining room, or a coordinated bedroom set carried through in a single mood, every commission is treated as a singular work of art.
The process
How a commission unfolds
Tell us about your piece
Reach out with photos, dimensions, and a few notes about the furniture you would like reimagined — or let the studio know what you are hoping to source.
Share your vision
Walk Kara through your home, the room it lives in, the colours you love, and the mood you want the finished piece to hold.
Receive a tailored direction
You will receive a curated direction — finish style, palette, hardware, and timeline — written specifically for your piece and your space.
Reserve with a 50% deposit
A 50% deposit secures your place in the studio calendar and starts the work. Online payments will be available shortly through a secure Stripe checkout.
The transformation begins
Your piece is carefully prepared, refinished, and detailed by hand in the Calgary studio — every layer chosen with intention.
Delivered, balance on arrival
When your finished piece arrives, the remaining balance is due on delivery. Your one-of-a-kind furnishing is ready to live in your home.
What we create
Pieces the studio is happy to take on
A piece you already own
Inherited, thrifted, or simply tired of the way it looks — bring forward the beauty of furniture you already love.
A piece sourced for you
Tell us what you are dreaming of and the studio will hunt down the right vintage foundation to refinish for your home.
Statement furniture
Buffets, armoires, dining pieces, and feature dressers reimagined as the focal point of a beautifully styled room.
Coordinated bedroom sets
Nightstands, dressers, and complementary pieces refinished as a quiet, cohesive collection for your principal suite.
Investment
A simple, two-payment commission.
Once your direction is approved, a 50% deposit reserves your place in the Calgary studio and begins the work. The remaining balance is due on delivery, when your finished piece arrives in your home. Secure online deposit payments through Stripe will be available shortly — for now, Kara will arrange the deposit with you directly after your commission is confirmed.
