COD Decorative Painting is a New Hampshire decorative painting and design studio run by artist Cheryl O'Donnell, who has owned and operated the business from Brookline since 1995. A Massachusetts College of Art graduate in Illustration Design, she offers murals, painted floors and furniture, stencils and borders, sign painting, and color consultation for residential and commercial clients. Her work has drawn outside press attention: New Hampshire Home magazine featured a hand-painted armoire she created for a client's dining room redesign, and the Nashua Telegraph covered a decorative hallway and pass-through she painted in a local home. Customers describe detailed, collaborative projects rather than quick jobs. In 2024 reviews, one client described a foyer transformed with a subtle metallic vine and leaf motif Cheryl developed with them as a color consultant; another, who lives in a 200-year-old home, said the three rooms Cheryl has painted so far are now the home's most striking features; a third described her patiently consulting on couch cushions, rugs, and artwork before proposing wall colors during a major renovation. One reviewer, also in 2024, said Cheryl has been doing projects for them for years. The written history goes back further too, including two brief but positive reviews from 2008, and every review since is five-star.
“The separate dining room features striking, domed light fixtures over the table and the clients’ old, leather parsons chairs re-upholstered in a variegated green chenille. An armoire, purchased by the homeowners as part of the redesign, was hand-painted by Cheryl O’Donnell, of COD Decorative Painting in Bedford, in a shade of green Rifkin selected to coordinate with the chair fabric. ...

I cannot say enough about the incredible talent Cheryl brings to creating some amazing finished projects. Her attention to detail is simply extraordinary. She has been helping me for years, and I feel blessed to witness her magic unfold on so many different projects.
Cheryl is a super-talented decorative artist who attended to every detail -- color, texture, visual impact -- to make our foyer beautiful! Together, we chose a subtle metallic vine and leaf motif, which Cheryl executed perfectly. Her artistic sensibility as a color consultant helped us pick colors that brought the whole house together visually. Her attention to detail, her steady brush hand and work ethic are superb. She is also a smart business person, offering attractive prices and keeping us informed at every step of the project. We will definitely use her services again and highly recommend COD for your next decorative project!
I live in a 200 year old home and hired Cheryl for decorative painting -- we've completed 3 rooms thus far and they are now the most stunning features of the home. Everyone marvels at her talent. You won't be disappointed, she will partner with you to fulfill your vision and offer up her guidance, based on her years of experience to enhance the art. She is a true professional, detailed oriented, reliable, courteous, very neat with her supplies and tools and showed the utmost respect to my home and my pets. I feel fortunate to have found Cheryl and would highly recommend her!
Cheryl consulted with us ever so patiently during a major renovation of our home. She asked to see couch cushions, rugs, and artwork, and then came up with brilliant suggestions for wall colors. Where there were architectural challenges, she had extremely innovative ideas for how to make seamless transitions between rooms. As friends now come by to see our “new” house, a consistent awestruck comment is: “Who chose these colors? I love them!” In addition to having an artist’s eye, Cheryl is kind, patient, honest, organized, and very fun to work with. Why wouldn’t you call her this instant?
