Red Tulip Designs, a thriving cabinet refinishing business in Oklahoma, is the brainchild of a determined couple, Jeremy and Kimberly Gilleland. Their story begins in 2016, rooted in a simple desire for creative expression and financial stability. Initially dabbling in furniture as a part-time endeavor, it wasn’t long before their talent for transforming pieces of furniture began to gain traction. The couple’s journey into entrepreneurship officially took off in 2018 with the establishment of an LLC, marking the beginning of a more serious and dedicated approach to their craft.

Despite their success with furniture, the couple frequently encountered requests for cabinet painting, a domain they initially resisted due to its intricate and labor-intensive nature. However, a shift in Kimberly’s career path, coupled with a desire for greater autonomy, led them to reconsider their business model. They realized that specializing in cabinet refinishing could not only fulfill their creative aspirations but also offer a viable and lucrative business opportunity.

Developing Red Tulip Designs

Determined to provide top-notch quality, the Gillelands invested their earnings into acquiring advanced tools for cabinet refinishing. Their commitment to excellence was further solidified with the discovery of Renner coatings, setting their services apart in the market.

Today, Red Tulip Designs boasts a 2400 square foot workshop complete with an industrial spray booth and a Green Fast Cure system, reflecting their dedication to innovation and quality. Their repertoire of services has expanded to include cabinet refacing, grain filling, and selective interior painting, catering to diverse client needs. Future plans include incorporating shelf pull-outs and upper cabinet pull-downs to enhance kitchen functionality, especially for elderly clients.

Red Tulip Designs operates Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 5 PM, with Fridays reserved for urgent client needs. Consultations are available on Saturdays by appointment. The Gillelands encourage potential clients to connect through their website or by phone, ensuring a personalized and efficient service experience.
