The Vixen's Den Studio

Hey there!


I'm Becky, and I’m delighted to welcome you to the Vixen’s Den Studio!

I need to warn you upfront: I’m in love with all of the shiny things. Even my favorite water has sparkles!

But furnishing a home with beautiful, high-quality furniture that reflects my sparkling personality is jaw-droppingly expensive. That’s why over 15 years ago I started updating the furniture in our home. I started with no previous training and a limited amount of space to work in. I had to drag the dresser that I was working on onto the little porch of our storage building and then push it back inside to let it dry overnight. It was an adventure…or should I say, a misadventure!

Since that first piece, I have repaired, sanded, painted, stained, and completely reimagined several pieces of furniture as well as my personal studio, The Vixen’s Den She-Shed. I’ve learned so much from each new project.

Now I'm sharing everything that I have learned to help you start your furniture transformation journey! Benefit from my mistakes so that you can save time, money, and tears of frustration. Through the checklists, ebooks, and courses (coming soon!) we’ll walk side by side as you transform the furniture you have into the furniture you’ll love!
