Vintage Furniture Restoration and Upcycling in Central and Southern Iowa

Upcycling and repurposing vintage furniture feeds my heart like no other work, except being a mama to my son.

Every piece I restore or upcycle is special. I’m honored whenever someone trusts me with a treasured piece, especially family heirlooms that have been passed down through generations.

I carefully restore each item while preserving the character, history, and beauty that make it unique. Whether a piece needs a fresh new look or a complete transformation, I love giving vintage furniture a new life.
