That’s why five years ago, after spending many years in the restaurant industry, she opened Creations By V, a furniture refinishing and home decor shop.
When first walking into the space, customers are greeted by an array of unique home decor accessories, with both seasonal and everyday items.
The space itself is a reflection of Mckeown’s keen eye for design, inviting customers to explore the possibilities of transforming their living spaces.

However, it’s more than just products. With an extensive knowledge of furniture refinishing, Mckeown is there to welcome both returning and new customers.
She is more than willing to help with DIY projects, refinishing people’s most beloved pieces or just answering any questions they may have.
The warm greeting is one thing this shop owner prides herself on. “I’m all about first impressions. I like to have nice jazz music playing and just let them enjoy themselves.”
Mckeown states that her goal is to make customers feel calm, loved and wanting to come back.
Through excellent customer service, repeat clients and word-of-mouth referrals, Mckeown has built a loyal following over the years.
