Rebecca Ehmling
Furniture Artistry
Rebecca Ehmling’s passion for furniture artistry began with her grandfather’s high-end furniture store, where she developed a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship and design that make furniture the centerpiece of a home. She believes art should not only enhance a home with color, texture and design, but it also serves as a functional, living element. By artistically recreating furniture, Rebecca transforms outdated or discarded pieces into sustainable, one-of-a-kind works of art, keeping them out of landfills and redefining how we view art in our homes. Her greatest joy comes from seeing clients’ excitement as she breathes new life into their cherished pieces.
