Interior designer hosts grand opening of Fenton studio today

Interior Designer Rex Todd Rogers had his eye on the property at 106 W. Shiawassee Street in Fenton for two years. I had heard that the city owned the property and wanted to tear it down and build a three-story building in its place. I thought it had great bones and I knew I could renovate the space to bring my vision of a design store to life, said Rogers.

Rogers then worked with the city of Fenton to make the property on Shiawassee home to his studio. The interior space was opened up by tearing down walls, adding large windows, and restoring the original hardwood floors. The exterior has a new porch, a garden, and a sitting area. Rogers thinks of the space as the outdoor living room.

He is hosting a grand opening at his new design studio today. Rogers works and travels extensively throughout Michigan, Pennsylvania and other areas of the East Coast shopping for unique period furniture pieces to help with his design projects.

Hearing impaired since birth, Rogers says he has learned to depend on his sense of sight in everything he does. I see space differently than most people, and can visualize more deeply since I cannot hear." He can be reached at 810-814-0587 or Rextodd66@aol.com.
