March 27, 2025 – The Refurbishing Gallery, a new home for high-quality refurbished furniture and custom restoration services, is now open at 301 W Columbus Ave in Downtown Bellefontaine. Owner Drew Nye celebrated the grand opening on Monday, March 17th, bringing a fresh and unique shopping experience to the community.

The Refurbishing Gallery specializes in refurbished furniture, unfinished pieces ready for customization, and full-service furniture restoration. Unlike many in the industry who operate solely online, Nye saw the value in having a physical storefront where customers can see, feel, and experience the transformations up close.

“I’ve always had an interest in buying and selling unique pieces,” said Drew Nye, owner of The Refurbishing Gallery. “Once I started working with furniture, I realized how much I loved the process of taking something old and giving it new life. I wanted to create a space where people could see that transformation for themselves – not just in photos, but in person.”

The store offers a wide selection of ready-to-purchase refurbished furniture, pieces available for custom refinishing, and a range of repair and restoration services. Whether it’s a small fix or a complete furniture overhaul, customers can bring in their own pieces for customization to match their style and décor. The Refurbishing Gallery also provides pick-up and delivery services, making the process even easier for customers.

“Having a business like the Refurbishing Gallery in Downtown Bellefontaine adds to the diverse and growing retail scene we’ve cultivated,” said Keyne Strickland, Leasing and Property Manager for Small Nation. “Drew’s ability to take furniture and transform it into something unique, stylish, and custom-tailored to each customer is a great fit for the downtown.”
