Welcome to La Belle Vernice, LLC! La Belle Vernice is the culmination of many years of experience, experimentation, and our passion - making what surrounds us in our homes, into something beautiful and unique.
Meet Heidi who is the main artist behind the creative flow made in everyday homes to million dollar homes and businesses.
This line of work is certainly a career that fills her soul but before that lead to this venture, she made many stops along the way! One of my first stops allowed her the privilege of working alongside her creative mother in her salon. She picked up on some business skills. After that, you could say that her next business opportunity fell out of the sky, and into her lap… As a flight attendant she soaked up the beauty of sunrises and sunsets from the clouds. The best perk of all, was soaking up the consecutive days off with her young son. After a few years, she had enough turbulence and altitude. Heidi then decided to follow in her father's footsteps and go after her childhood dream of serving the community as a police officer. Protecting and helping those who needed it was a fulfilling reward. She was happy in her law enforcement career but in 2005 her path veered sharply, into rather uncertain territory when Heidi received a Lupus diagnosis. She had to put my health first, and leave the demands of the badge behind. At that time she spent a lot of time at home when her health was at it's lowest but in this time, I found joy in transforming my surroundings. It was something she could make beautiful. It was as if her body was running near empty but her mind was sparked with creative ideas that kept her going! Heidi looked forward to visits with her mom, when they would team up and re-invent! As her health began improving, she found more ways to utilize her talents. She started painting and refinishing discarded furniture, breathing new life into pieces that shecould see the potential in. She transformed kitchen cabinets and even the look of dated kitchen counters with custom faux finishes that re-ignited homeowners love for their kitchens! Heidi fell in love with mixing client's favorite old pieces with new finds. Combining a mix of furniture, colors and textures that made people love relaxing and/or entertaining in their homes. To expand her knowledge, she continued branching out into new courses and projects, but found that most of her inspiration comes from life, the people and world around her, and from the passions and personalities of our clients. We have added to our team and another person you may see who can help transform your space is Jake! He is a licensed contractor who can do about anything. Whether you need fresh inspiration to help design your home, a revamp to your kitchen countertops, floors, tables , fireplaces, or just need some ideas on where to start, Heidi will help!
