About Bungalow 47
At Bungalow 47, we are passionate about making our living spaces unique and meaningful: paint is a huge part of that. We believe your home is the scrapbook of your life, so we love a combination of found treasures that can be updated to function for how each of us wants to live today. Many of us have Grandma's old dresser, but we don't know how to make it our own, or create an up-to-date style. That's where chalk and clay paint comes to the rescue. Follow us as we share ideas using our zero VOC, solvent-free, and American-made paint.
