Hello, I'm Wendy. The proud owner of Regained Relics. I started this business in May of 2017.  It grew out of my love of old things and my new found passion for upcycling and painting furniture.  When I'm in the shop, I'm definitely in my Happy Place.   I started painting furniture for fun in my two bedroom apartment and caught the furniture flipping bug pretty quickly.  After all, I couldn't keep them all!

I decided it was time to follow my new found passion for upcycling old things and found this amazing house for sale.   The space was perfect!  It had a deli on the main level and a charming upstairs living area.   So I could open a small business and live upstairs!  It really never gets old.  I love just being able to pop downstairs to open the store, especially in the winter!

My partner and I started going to auctions and I realized, I like cleaning up old antiques to be displayed in the store for sale.  Making old furniture look beautiful again is enjoyable and rewarding to me.   There is no matching the quality of the furniture from the earlier centuries.  So solid and unique with beautiful craftsmanship.  If furniture is scuffed and marred, I love to refinish and paint it to bring a new look and appreciation to the piece.  Maybe it can be loved for another hundred years!
