Rekindled Spaces

Leanne believes that we only have to look as far as our own spaces and belongings to discover ways to unlock the potential in our homes and make them extraordinary. She’s been helping her clients create beautiful living spaces that reflect their own unique styles for over 15 years, and her expertise has been recognized nationwide. A professionally-certified decorative painting artist, Leanne has been commissioned to complete projects for residential and commercial clients. She had numerous certifcations from the leading faux finishing schools in the country, including Surfaces, School of Decorative Arts, Patina Studios, The Faux Finish School, a Martin Alan Hirsch Studio, and Kelly S. King Academy of Faux Painting and Decorative Finishing. She has also established herself as an instructor to aspiring artists through her in-person seminars and class series, as well as through her instructional DVD, “The Art of Faux Finishing.” Leanne lives in Kansas City, but her ideas can be used by people in all areas of the U.S. She’s been educating audiences across the country at home shows and industry events for several years and just agreed to a regular segment on Kansas City LIVE, the local morning TV program. Leanne was recently nominated in Startup Nation’s fifth annual Leading Moms in Business contest. It was a rare opportunity to be recognized among other awesome moms who are doing what she is: running a profitable, self-owned business while balancing the demands and joys of being a mother–something so many women can relate to. Leanne graduated from the University of Kansas with a Bachelors of Science degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing. She’s a proud wife and mom of three busy boys.
