Starting in September 2026, Atelier WMG will be moving to a new workshop space! Because of this period of transition, I am not currently accepting custom projects.

If you would like to inquire about working with me, feel free to reach out in the fall or join my mailing list at the bottom of the page for news!

I will continue to post on social media about ongoing projects and the move to the new studio. Thanks for joining me on this adventure!

Whitney & Atelier WMG

(FranΓ§ais en bas)

Hi I’m Whitney! I’m a busy mom of two, originally from Victoria BC now living in the West Island of Montreal with my family! I’ve had a career in finance for the last 15 years and since 2021, a newfound passion for wood furniture refinishing.

I started refinishing furniture during my first maternity leave when I wanted to redo a new desk for working from home.

I’ve loved learning about different styles of furniture, different woods and techniques as well as new design ideas and mediums.
I enjoy finding something that is looking like it’s on its last legs, and giving it a whole new life. I aim to restore wood when I can but a beautiful coat of paint can go a long way!

At Atelier WMG, we believe in protecting the environment, supporting local businesses, and championing women's rights. We're all about positive vibes and making a difference.

Bonjour, je m’appelle Whitney ! Je suis une maman trΓ¨s occupΓ©e de deux enfants, originaire de Victoria, en Colombie-Britannique, et je vis aujourd’hui dans l’Ouest-de-lβ€™ΓŽle de MontrΓ©al avec ma famille ! J’ai travaillΓ© dans la finance pendant les 15 derniΓ¨res annΓ©es et je me suis rΓ©cemment dΓ©couvert une passion pour la restauration de meubles en bois.

J’ai commencΓ© Γ  restaurer des meubles pendant mon premier congΓ© de maternitΓ©, lorsque j’ai voulu rΓ©amΓ©nager un nouveau bureau pour travailler Γ  domicile.

J'ai adorΓ© dΓ©couvrir diffΓ©rents styles de meubles, diffΓ©rents bois et techniques, ainsi que de nouvelles idΓ©es de design et de nouveaux supports.

J'aime dΓ©nicher des objets qui semblent Γ  l'article de la mort et leur donner une toute nouvelle vie. Je m'efforce de laisser le bois Γ  l'Γ©tat naturel lorsque c'est possible, mais une belle couche de peinture peut faire toute la diffΓ©rence !

Chez Atelier WMG, nous croyons en la protection de l'environnement, le soutien aux entreprises locales et la dΓ©fense des droits des femmes. Nous misons sur les ondes positives et voulons faire la diffΓ©rence.

Je suis bilingue et je serai ravi de travailler avec vous en anglais ou en franΓ§ais
