I moved to Cornwall with my partner in January 2014. We planned to live in a caravan while building our new home, so rather than putting our furniture in storage for a few years we sold everything. Things didn't go quite to plan and we ended up having to rent a property.....an unfurnished property and here the story starts. We started going to auctions to purchase furniture and I soon fell in love
with revamping the not so pretty pieces we bought and turning them into beautiful pieces of furniture which I am proud to own. I have always been a creative person as one of my other passions is silver smithing where I make one off pieces of jewellery. Painting and waxing furniture seemed to come naturally to me, I also liked the idea of trying decoupage on furniture so started off with something small, this is how I started making coasters and placemats. As you can see the furniture started off quite by accident and I already have a small workshop and people are getting to know me and buying my pieces. I think myself lucky that after moving to Cornwall I am "living the dream".
