Repurposed · Reimagined · Made to Live In
Refinished furniture, repurposed finds, and custom builds that turn everyday materials into functional, personalized spaces.
Selected Work
A look at recent transformations. The finished piece matters, but so does the story of how it got there.
About Virginia
"Much of my work centers around repurposing and reimagining existing materials, bringing new life to what already exists."
I'm drawn to DIY projects that create functional, personalized spaces, ones that reflect how people actually live. Whether I'm refinishing furniture, transforming a found piece, or designing a custom build, the goal is the same: something that feels both meaningful and intentional.
What I care about most is the part you don't always see. The process, the storytelling, and the problem-solving behind each transformation are as much the point as the finished result.
Optional: add a few personal details when you're ready, how you got started, your shop, the towns you serve. The words above are yours, so the page already sounds like you.

Signature Approach
The work I'm proudest of starts with something overlooked, a tired piece of furniture, a found object, a bit of salvaged material. This is where I document where it came from, the problem it had to solve, and how it changed.
