About us

 

Amanda Mertins and Kimberly Weiler, owners of Patina Polished Living
As many Alexandrian's have discovered, Patina is a great resource for finding unique, one-of-a-kind pieces, as well as quality furniture. Patina opened its doors in the fall of 2013, and quickly became a destination for furniture and home decor. 
Patina's partners, Amanda Mertins and Kimberly Weiler, are an excellent complement to one another. With diverse backgrounds in economics and graphic design, the pair are able to use their unique perspectives to design beautifully crafted interiors. 
Every well collected home should include some unique pieces with the patina of age. To this end, Patina strives to find unusual items. This search has taken Amanda and Kimberly up and down the East Coast, as well as Europe. 
Besides an extensive collection of vintage pieces, Patina has partnered with Wesley Hall for upholstered furniture. This family-owned company has been a driving force in the luxury upholstery market. Patina is pleased to offer their customers an extensive collection of designer fabrics and trims to customize Wesley Hall furniture. This partnership offers customers the ability to create unique furniture all of their own. 
With an interesting combination of new, vintage, traditional and contemporary, Patina offers a well-curated collection for a discerning clientele. We look forward to helping you design your home with unique items and comfortable furniture that will work for your lifestyle for years to come.
