History
Established in 2017.
While I've only had this "business" a few years, I actually started refinishing antiques in the 1970's when I refinished my first piece - my mom's antique desk. I started painting furniture in college and have been refinishing and painting furniture ever since.
I opened Elbow Grease Vintiques LLC when we moved to Bolivia, NC. You can find my finished work in local shops in Southport and at my booths in Vintage Marketplace in Wilmington, NC.
Meet the Business Owner: Wanza W.
Hi! I'm Wanza, the owner, artist and creative soul behind Elbow Grease Vintiques. I love furniture, its lines and its story and working with wonderful people interested in reviving and transforming old or unloved furniture for a new life.
I love color and working the little details... And a creative challenge. Come with a vision...or let's look at your space and talk about what makes you happy and go from there.
- I am not currently accepting new clients - thank you.
My husband Bruce is my partner in all things in life and is a great help in the business. He helps with repairs (busted drawers are a common challenge he works). And, he helps me carry everything. And he's a good set of eyes for quality assurance.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you decide to contact us for a consultation and let's --relove, reimagine, and restore-- your joy in your furniture.
