Rustically Modern

Aurora, Illinois, USA

Having a daughter with a disability who has aged out of services in the US, and with all my family in Serbia, I am now planning to expand my business there with the vision of opening non-profit workshops for children with disabilities.

Rustically Modern is a boutique furniture refinishing and design studio that marries the warmth of rustic charm with the clean sophistication of modern style. Specializing in handcrafted transformations, the studio reimagines both vintage and contemporary pieces with thoughtfully curated finishes, artisanal techniques, and a keen appreciation for texture, color, and architectural detail.

The signature style of Rustically Modern blends the organic beauty of aged wood, distressed textures, and earthy tones with sleek lines, timeless palettes, and elevated design elements. Each piece is intentionally crafted to strike the perfect balance between cozy and contemporary, creating furniture that feels both grounded and refined.

From custom commissions designed to complement individual spaces, to curated ready-to-own pieces that make a statement, Rustically Modern offers furniture that is as functional as it is artful. Every creation is made with care, quality materials, and a passion for giving furniture new life, telling a story through design.

Dedicated to craftsmanship, creativity, and a seamless fusion of old and new, Rustically Modern transforms homes with pieces that bring character, style, and lasting beauty to any room — while laying the foundation for a future of inclusive, inspiring workshops for children with disabilities in Serbia.
