What began as a personal passion for refinishing furniture has grown into Refined Design by Trina, a business dedicated to reimagining timeless pieces with fresh, creative touches.

I’m Trina Ellis, and for more than 25 years, I’ve loved breathing new life into furniture for my own home. This year, I decided to share that same passion and craftsmanship with others. I specialize in transforming pieces through a blend of paint, stain, wallpaper, and updated hardware, creating truly one-of-a-kind designs.

By trade, I’m an accountant, but refinishing allows me to embrace my creative side. My attention to detail and commitment to quality ensure every project is finished with care. Originally from Martinsburg, West Virginia, I’ve called Harrisonburg home for the past 15 years. When I’m not in the workshop, you’ll find me spending time with my husband and our two daughters.
