Hi! You found VT's Wood & Wire. Have you ever seen something on the side of the road or in a thrift store and wondered what it would look like painted or even transformed into something else? That's what I do! I love to take things and turn them into something else. I give a whole new meaning to Trash to Treasure. Click on the buttons below with the red arrows next to them to see more photos of things I currently have for sale and things I previously made. As you navigate on my site look for red arrows and click on the wording next to them and it will take you to another page for more pics and info. You can also use the links at the top of the page. Have fun and let me know what you think!
Repurposed furniture like this wine cabinet that is made from wood shutters and scrap lumber.
Windows are everywhere. They can be used to display lots of pictures. This six pane photo window used to display fur babies.
Signs of all sizes that can say whatever you'd like. Big or small, I can make them all.
Repurposed bottles made into display bottles for dish soap, etc. Much prettier to display than the original plastic bottles.
Back in 2009, I had the flu and was off work for a solid week. After I felt better toward the end of the week I became bored but couldn't return to work. I found a box of small cubes of wood and some paint. I painted each block and cut out letters from my printer and adhered each letter to each block. I connected each block together with wire. Since it was around Halloween I used that as a theme making various signs like B-O-O and T-R-I-C-K O-R T-R-E-A-T.
I took the 10 or so sets I made to work and sold them right away. Then I began making larger blocks with surnames on them. The ideas abounded from there. I made team names, kids names, expressions, etc. After a coworker suggested "Wood & Wire" and another coworker has a habit of calling me just by my initials, "VT's Wood & Wire" was born!
My techniques have improved drastically since back then.
That has evolved into furniture repurposing, window painting, sign making and my newest addition...bottles! The items I make are Like NO ONE else's!!!
