Every Piece Has Potential.
Restoring beauty, character, and purpose.
Ugly Duckling Restorations finds and refurbishes one-of-a-kind solid wood furniture — each piece rescued, restored, and finished with care, then made available for its next home.
A Decade of Bringing Furniture Back to Life
For well over ten years, restoring furniture has been more than a job — it’s a craft she’s poured herself into piece by piece. What started as a love for rescuing overlooked, worn-down furniture has grown into Ugly Duckling Restorations: a small, family-run shop built on patience, hand skill, and an eye for what a piece can become.
She’s also a mom to three boys — and that same hands-on care shows up in every piece, whether it’s carefully matching a stain, tightening a wobbly joint, or giving a forgotten find a whole new life in someone’s home.

The Craft Behind Every Piece
Every piece we refurbish draws on the same core skills — from structural rebuilding to hand-applied finishes.
Hand Refinishing
Stripping, sanding, and refinishing to bring out natural wood grain with a durable, beautiful top coat.
Structural Rebuilding
Re-gluing joints, replacing broken parts, and rebuilding structure so every piece is sturdy for everyday use.
Custom Stains & Finishes
Color-matched stains and hand-applied finishes, from rich traditional tones to modern whitewash and matte looks.
Antique & Vintage Restoration
Careful, respectful restoration of antique and vintage finds that keeps their history and character intact.
Hardware & Detail Work
Sourcing and restoring pulls, hinges, and hardware, plus veneer repair and other detail finishing touches.
Painting & Whitewashing
Hand-painted, distressed, and whitewashed finishes for a farmhouse or vintage-inspired look.
