About me

Introduction Driven by frugality and a desire to create, Bowie began repurposing and refinishing furniture more than 10 years ago as a stay-at-home mother of three with a passion for design and a home to furnish. Purchasing other people's cast-offs at garage sales, thrift stores, estate sales, and auctions, and occasionally finding unlikely treasures in the trash, Bowie learned that she had a knack for seeing untapped beauty and soon learned how to turn her vision into a stylish reality by learning basic carpentry skills. After filling her own home with her handsome handiwork, she began selling furniture and home accessories at garage sales of her own. Since 2006, she has held twice yearly sales on her farm, selling eclectic home furnishings out of the buildings on the family property, dubbing the business "The Elegant Barn."
