Designer Rex Todd Rogers Hosting Grand Opening

This story was written by Fenton Be Closer.

Interior Designer Rex Todd Rogers had his eye on the property at 106 W. Shiawassee Street in Fenton, MI, for over 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”, because it is so inviting, and showcases his additional talent in landscape design work for the Fenton community.

Rogers'  new design studio holds its grand opening on Saturday, June 29th. Rogers is ready to work with customers in a comfortable, open and lofty area. While walking through the studio, you'll notice the many furniture and decorative pieces. 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.

Whatever your style or need, Rex Todd can see details in a room most people don’t. 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,” says Rogers.

Rex Todd can be reached at 810-814-0587. He is currently taking appointments to help new clients with their design projects from Wednesday to Saturday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. You can also connect with Rex Todd Rogers at Rextodd66@aol.com.
