- Our Story -
WenDesigns began as Creative Designs in 1991 in the home of our founder Wendy Winstead. Just a few years later, Wendy moved the growing business out of her home and into a small studio that expanded to a store front carrying her favorite lines. A vision of a home-inspired store front led her to design and build a two story manor to showcase her work and collection. A name change came a few years later, incorporating a portion of Wendy's name and personalizing her company. Another element of WenDesigns was born in 2013 when we introduced apparel and women's accessories to our unique home decor. After years of compliments on outfits we were wearing that were purchased at markets, the apparel collection at WenDesigns was born. Wow! We just didn't know how much our customers like our outfits. The apparel quickly became a big part of our retail business. We take pride in knowing the comfortable and stylish appeal we have always had for the home is now evident in styling you as well. This addition to our business led us to desire a more visual retail space bringing us closer to the community. Today WenDesigns resides at Shoppes at Brentwood, bringing Wilson and surrounding areas a unique shopping experience including our newest adventure, Choco~Latte Cafe which is located inside the shop. We invite you to come for a visit and enjoy your favorite coffee drink while you shop for unique home decor, gifts or indulge in our boutique!

Wendy Winstead
Owner
Wendy Rawls Winstead is the owner and lead designer at WenDesigns. As a young girl she knew that decorating was her passion and later as an adult she discovered it was her God given talent. Wendy began as a free-lance designer, working with many new construction clients, taking the home from the foundation to the finishing touches. With more and more projects behind her, she discovered her design style was comfortable yet stylish. She loves taking ahold of the old and making it new by refurbishing, mixing and blending whatever it takes to create something unique for her clients. Older homes filled with character are a challenge she welcomes and attributes this desire to her dad who loved recreating old things as well. Family living is everything to Wendy and it is evident in her designs. She loves creating spaces that give her clients a safe haven, a sense of peace and serenity in their homes. She took pride in doing this for her own family just a few years ago. Wendy, her husband Don and their two boys enjoy spending time in their 1939 Cape Cod that she renovated with family living in mind. Being a wife and mom, she knows how important it is to build family values that begin in the home and Wendy knows how to achieve the art of living in comfort and style.
