About us

Hello! I am Kendra, proud owner and artist of Mango & Lee Designs. Alongside me is my beautiful daughter. She is the Mango to my Lee! This beautiful soul is creative, artistic and so much fun! My little partner is with me every step of the way. She understands business beyond her years, design, and the love of always putting out the absolute best artistry possible! She helps not only with the design process but also prep work, photography and planning. The future is bright with this little 👑 🐝 by my side!

Together, we create art, support each other, laugh together, and find joy. 

We currently operate just outside of Calgary, Alberta. Of course, my lifelong dream is to relocate to a tropical destination where we can continue creating and growing. All while staying warm!

And a little about me...I have been creating artistic furniture pieces for almost 10 years now, with my daughter just recently joining the team, and we are blessed to share our love of design and artistry here!

I started painting furniture as a hobby, and was immediately sold. I began picking up small pieces here and there and painting when I could fit it in between working and raising three amazing little human beings. The more I painted, the more my interest in design and vintage furnishings grew. I am passionate about bringing a modern touch to all things vintage. And there is nothing like the feeling of taking something long forgotten, and transforming it into a stunning, one-of-kind showpiece. The options are endless!

Although I have used other paints, my preference is always Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, as it allows me to really work with the texture and depth of a piece. And it is water-based non-toxic and virtually odour-free. From victorian to art deco to to mid-century modern, and everything in between, if I can envision it, I will paint it!

If you have your own vision and cannot find what you are looking for in my shop, contact us about custom work!
