I’m a professional furniture upcycler, specialising mostly in mid-century pieces alongside selling carefully-chosen vintage finds.
In 2018, whilst in my 40’s and after a career in education, I went back to college to study Creative Interior Techniques at Writtle University which I absolutely loved. This was followed by further courses in upholstery and upcycling skills and I had found my niche. The business was created in 2022. Each new find tells a story of a life already lived and over time I found that I preferred the clean lines and neat shapes of furniture from the 1950s-1970s.
The starting point for the upcycling process is to search out pieces of vintage furniture that are “structurally sound” yet “cosmetically challenged”. These are carefully prepped at my workshop before updating with high quality paints, carefully-chosen wallpaper and lots of varnish for durability.
Furniture and sustainability doesn’t have to be boring. From statement sideboards, to drinks trolleys, hallway benches, chest of drawers and side tables (and everything in between), find your one-of-a-kind sustainable, vintage and unique furniture with me.. It’s my mission to take unloved furniture and respectfully enhance it to give it a bright new future, creating exclusive and statement pieces of furniture for my customers’ homes and business and the aim is to make people ask “Wow, where did you get that?!”
