Our Story – From a kitchen dream to a recognized brand

In 2020, amidst a difficult period in my life, an idea was born that would change everything. Driven by a desire to transform pain into something beautiful, we began to refurbish old furniture right in our own kitchen. The first piece, a turquoise chest of drawers with golden details and wallpaper lining the inside of its drawers, remains vivid in our memory. For nearly two weeks, our kitchen transformed into a workshop, and fast-food meals became routine.

What started as a personal passion quickly turned into an increasingly sought-after service. High demand led us to move into a larger space – our first workshop – the place where the stories of furniture pieces continued to come to life.

Today, after hundreds of successfully completed large projects, we are more than a team: we are a family of dedicated artists and artisans. We are joined by a 72-year-old master carpenter, an old-school upholsterer, an experienced painter, and a professional varnisher. Together, we bring experience, precision, and a profound respect for detail to each project.

Recognition was not long in coming. Mihaela was awarded at the Women in Power Gala in Craiova in April 2024, receiving the Career Excellence Award for her contribution to community development. Media appearances and client feedback confirmed what we knew from the beginning: that work done with heart and attention to detail creates real value.

Today, Colorat by Mihaela Marinescu means premium services for furniture restoration, painting, upholstery, and customization. Each piece is treated as a work of art, and each client receives not just a product, but a unique experience. For us, excellence is not an objective, but the minimum standard we aim to provide.
