At Refunkit, you’ll find uncommon wall art, sculpture, home décor, jewelry, yard/garden art, candles, kitchen items, art kits, locally made food and hot sauces, cards, lighting, clothing, accessories and so much more. As one loyal customer described it, “I always find exactly what I didn’t know I was looking for.”

Originally owned by three artists who enjoyed refunking furniture, household items, lamps, mannequins and more, Refunkit has evolved into a destination shop hosting more than 80 local artists’ handmade works. This month, they are celebrating 10 years in Ashland.

Owner Wendy Doyle and Sharon Stiles, who joined the team in 2016, are a constant presence at the shop. Doyle said, “Our hope is that everyone walking in Refunkit is delighted and inspired by the many handmade things you won’t see in other places. With so much to look at and an inventory that changes weekly, there’s always something new to experience.”

Refunkit will be celebrating their anniversary on September 23 from 5-8pm in conjunction with Ashland Fourth Fridays. The shop will be open to visitors, plus dancing in the courtyard with DJ Sunny Girl spinning the tunes. Everyone is invited to the party!

Doyle and Stiles said, “As we celebrate 10 years of Refunkit, we want to thank our customers and artists, our families and the Town of Ashland for your constant support.”

Refunkit is located at 120 Hanover Avenue, Ashland, VA 23005 (804-822-5758). Follow them on Facebook and Instagram @refunkit or refunkit.com.
