Hi, I’m Selena
Stylist & Refinisher behind Renewed Living Studios. In my years of working as an Interior Designer and Stylist, one of my major challenges was finding good quality furniture that was both affordable and stylish.
For many of my clients, balancing their vision for their home with the budget at their disposal was a constant struggle, and the choice was often between choosing affordable furniture that lacked charm, or spending more than what they’d hoped.
How I began furniture refinishing
Not wanting to settle for second best, for my clients, I decided to take matters into my own hands to find a solution to their furniture woes. I began sourcing my own second hand furniture and decorative hardware and painted their solution.
In painting and refinishing furniture I found endless possibilities
Instead of trying to find ways to make furniture fit, I could custom create furniture that perfectly suited the client’s space, vision and style. It wasn’t long before I was hooked. It was fun, creative and oh so rewarding seeing the transformations happen before my eyes.
Empowering a community of makers, flippers & DIYers
I soon discovered an incredible, and vibrant online community of furniture refinishers, flippers and DIYers, just like me. With my background in Interior Styling, and my newfound passion, I knew that I had something unique to offer to my new community.
This is how Renewed Living Studios came to be. With camera in hand, I began sharing my insights, process and journey on Youtube as well as sourcing unique pieces that have adorned my clients homes and are now available to you.
