Introduction: Let me change your home into art -- my concepts blur the line between art and design. Now armed with Thumbtacks honorary "Top Pro" status my customers call me the new 21st century Frank Lloyd Wright. Very fitting because I have studied his work in college and most of my career. After repurpose from a twenty-year commercial art career (in advertising as an illustrator and designer -- designing many national commercial businesses and franchise stores -- I redesigned and reinvented my life into a 40-year career as a successful painter and Americas’ top retromod interior designer and furniture builder. The result is revived one-off designs that have my signature; whimsical characterization, vibrant, striking designs and delicate patterns that express a narrative. No one can illuminate a space like I can. Just a handful of people in the world can say they make there living in the arts. Hire an artist, not just an interior designer. I am a cross between Leonardo da Vinci and Salvador Dalí -- home improvement evolved by accident for me -- a two-time national award winner -- and I absolutely love interior design. Just read my reviews or ask my customers and they will tell you I am a natural -- born to do this. Painting art and building furniture and home design go hand-in-hand. To see and feel my passion for the art of home decorating go to my website. Thank you... Weston

We found Weston online, after further review of his credentials we decided to contact Weston in which a prompt response resulted in a scheduled meeting. We had no idea what we wanted as a decor and this brilliant artist came up with this unique suggestion. We and others are simply amazed with the wall art he designed to fit us and our new home. We can't thank him enough for taking on this project! Best of luck, Nancy and Tom Chisholm

I wrote this months ago, "I met with Weston to line up the work and he had several great ideas on how the scope of work could be expanded to create quite a remarkable outcome. We are still in the initial stages of work, but I couldn't be happier working with Weston." Now that the project is finished, "Weston and I agreed on a direction for the kitchen / dining area remodel, but that couldn't be defined precisely until 40 plus year-old walls were demolished and we discovered what we had to work with. Some surprises: conduit and utilities blocking some plans, a support that had to be rebuilt. Weston adjusted the design without expanding the scope significantly. He was very conscious of my budget limitations throughout the project. For example, he found perfect countertops at a vendor who had them in stock for some time and was anxious to move them at a great price. The result: I got a great deal on beautiful countertops that I otherwise could not have afforded. I'll add a before and an after picture rather than going on for 10,000 more words!"

My husband and I have teak patio furniture that needed to be refinished. Knowing we would never get around to it, I decided to hire a professional. That's when we found Weston Rayfield. Oh my! What a fabulous job he did -- quickly and for a reasonable price. I have to say tho, even better than all that was when we had the privilege of meeting Weston. He is not only talented and creative, but SO interesting! It was an honor and privilege to spend time with him. After looking at his website, we knew we will be going to Naples soon to see his art in person. Oh, I bought one of his handmade books -- Awesome! Check out Weston's website.... you won't be disappointed! www.americancelebrations.com, www.RepurposedPunk.com -Rita & Jeff

Choose Weston! It's hard to find good help. Weston was great! If you want someone who cares, works as hard as you would and be fair about price, then look no further. These apps and sites are difficult to use because of reliability and I typically don't try to use them, but I'm glad I did. I hired a "reputable" company through a general contractor to put up drywall in two bathrooms and a hallway. They came back 2 times over a span of 5 weeks! and you could still see lines, bad corners and outlets that wouldn't fit. It was inexcusable...unbelievable, really. When Weston saw the work he couldn't believe it. He went over the project with me in thorough detail to make sure we were on the same page, he informed me of any other areas that were of concern that he found and went above and beyond. Since the bathrooms were on opposite sides of the house, he patched two areas (not included in the scope of work) that were visibly damaged from a chair and fixed them, just because he saw them. Although small, quick fixes, it was this type of detail and hard work that showed throughout the project. Needless to say, the walls look like they did before the damage. He worked as long as he had to and got it done right. After living in a hotel for a month and a half and waiting another month for the "reputable" company that we hired to get it close to being right, it was nice to finally find someone who cared and got the job done above expectations. All I can say is thank you.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Redesigning redecorating and repurposing people places and things. Repurposed up-cycling, not often synonymous with the design industry, is the starting point for his process, as you won’t find any typical drawings or portraits scattered about his workspace. For Weston, the beauty of repurpose-up-cycling comes from using an existing space, creation or devise to guide his thought process and to shape his ideas and frame his design. The results are revived, one-off designs that have his signature; whimsical framed artwork, vibrant painted wood, an infusion of space and times, striking designs and delicate patterns that tell a story.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
An award winning artist all his life, Weston attended Kendall College of Art and Design of Ferris State University and spent most of his career in design. As an entrepreneur he has owned several companies, including a printing company and advertising agency which won a national award in 1990 for a business model concept on which Kinko’s/FedEx based its nationwide chain three years later. In 2006 he gave up everything to live his life’s dream, and pursue a five-year sabbatical to publish two books and explore art and design and home improvement. After being self-employed for over 30 years, he now has opened The RePurPosed Punk and is redesigning refinishing and repurposing, people places and things, out of his store located in Naples Florida.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
When I traveled the country with my books and my artwork I found myself in peoples homes hanging artwork they had just bought from me. I could not help but feel, in most cases, that they needed help with design and that the painting they had just bought did not fit their dreary and outdated interior. Finally, I would help by just rearanging the furniture and pictures on the walls -- this soon lead to then asking me to help redecorate and design -- and then paint and colors. After 20 years of helping people for free, and redesigning many of my friends and families homes, I decided to start a design business -- and so now I am 'The RePurposed Punk' -- LOL -- and I love it.
