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!

reDesigned Furniture
I have been creating artistic furniture pieces for over 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!

Welcome to the latest evolution of my creative journey! I’m beyond excited to share that I’ve added thrifted and vintage clothing to my website. Now, you might be wondering—what do clothes have to do with furniture? Well, let me tell you, it’s all about embracing sustainability, individuality, and style, all in one spot!

Just like how I breathe new life into each piece of furniture, I believe that fashion deserves the same treatment. Vintage and thrifted clothing are like little treasures with untold stories, just waiting to be given a second chance to shine. By curating a collection of stylish, pre-loved pieces, I'm not only helping to reduce waste but also embracing a future where sustainability leads the way in all things, from home décor to what we wear.

Sustainable fashion is the future, and it’s here to stay! It’s time to swap out fast fashion for something that tells a story, celebrates individuality, and supports a healthier planet. Whether you're hunting for that perfect jacket to complete your look or a unique, hand-painted table to liven up your space, you’ll find pieces that are as special as they are sustainable.

So, get ready to discover a world where the beauty of vintage clothing meets the artistry of repurposed furniture—because why settle for ordinary when you can have something that’s both timeless and earth-friendly?

Shop Smart. Shop Sustainable.
