Our Story
Refined Design Finishes is built on the belief that each piece has its own history and story which is the inspiration behind my work. By taking the time to understand both the piece and the person behind it, I create finishes that honor the past while reimagining them for today’s spaces and future generations.

What We Do
I’m a furniture refinisher and furniture artist. At its core, furniture refinishing means stripping away an existing finish, making necessary repairs, and restoring a piece—either bringing it back to its original integrity or transforming it with a completely new look. That can mean updating the color, stain, or finish to give a piece a fresh start and a renewed presence.
As a furniture artist, I create custom
designed artisan finishes for a one of a kind piece that truly makes a statement. By blending and layering custom mixed paint colors and incorporating a variety of techniques to create unique and intricate design patterns, Every piece is guided by imagination and shaped by the unique style, personality, and vision of my clients.
Our Process
I work closely with you to understand your personal and home decor style, your vision for the piece, as well as, the history of the piece and your connection to it. My designs are meticulously crafted in your style for a one of a kind piece, inspired by you.
So whether you want a traditional subtle look or a statement piece that has everyone talking, you can rest assured that Refined Design Finishes will create a piece that not only compliments your home but reflects your personal style for a look that is uniquely you.
The Difference Is In The Detail
At Refined Design Finishes, creating a truly exceptional finish goes far beyond applying paint and topcoat. Every detail matters — from the way light reflects across a surface to the depth, dimension, sheen, and character that bring a piece to life. Known for meticulous attention to detail, each finish is thoughtfully crafted entirely by hand, with careful consideration given to the style of the piece and the vision of each client. From custom-blended color palettes to subtle light-shifting pigments and layered finishes, every element is intentionally designed to create a refined, one-of-a-kind result.
