Love how this little Schreiber number turned out 💛
My client was looking for a unit to convert as a sink base in her renovated bathroom and these Schreiber dressing tables work so well for this. They decided on my ‘Egrets, I Have A Few’ mural on a gold background and I extended the design to wrap all the way around. Paired with my trusty Coal Black 🖤 I also lined the drawers with sections of the mural to cover the white melamine bases. I like to do additional sealing for pieces that will be placed in bathrooms to ensure the piece is protected from moisture all over.

I’ve added a few close up pics of the mural in case you would like to see more details and this mural is available with different coloured backgrounds, leaves & blossom 🥰

I’m enjoying these cooler, breezy days before the heat returns and I revert back to the shadows with my pasty Celtic complexion 🤣

Have a lovely day,

This gentleman’s wardrobe went off to Surrey with the bedsides a couple of weeks ago, isn’t it adorable?

I was really chuffed to use this mural again, adapted from a painting by Jean Baptiste Huet, as it took such a long time to process. I believe this neat little piece is to sit in the entrance hall for coats, shoes and sundries 🥰

Once again I paired this mural with Everett for the base blending it with the lighter shade of Bellwood for the top and interior. And to finish I added some leafy handles from my vintage stash 👌

Isn’t this weather glorious? This is the perfect climate for me, sunshine but not too hot 🤗

Have a lovely day,

‘Toucan Play That Game’ 🎶

Something a little different from me but I really enjoyed creating this statement sideboard for my client, bringing their ideas to fruition with this custom artwork and pops of colour 🧡💙

I choose not to use Ai for my artwork, the elements are carefully selected from vintage illustration, edited and compiled to create the clients vision. A lengthy but rewarding process.

This GPlan Tola sideboard was the perfect canvass for this style and for the pop of blue inside I used Jubilee paint ‘Charles Blue’ 💙

Have a lovely day 🌞

Good morning all 🌞

Love these charming bedsides in my mural ‘Egrets, I Have a Few’. Created for a client in Surrey who has had several pieces from me over the years and this muted sage green is perfect to go with their velvet headboard 👌

I used Bayberry paint alongside the mural and mixed it with Coal Black for the darker legs and Bellewood for the lighter top, which I think worked perfectly. ☺️

Well this one is quite the statement piece 😍

This beautiful large sideboard was delivered on Friday and is now residing in a gorgeous converted chapel.

The client fell for this glorious Heraldic Plum colour from and loved my Ophidian Bloom mural so I tailored the artwork to match with the paint. It really is a fabulous shade of dark purple and I gave background a subtle ombré effect to add depth to the design. We didn’t want to neglect the interior so all three cupboards have been papered in faux crocodile and painted in Light Bronze Green and what a stunning pop of colour it is 😍 For the gold highlights I combined Guildlane’s Gold and Champagne and lightly dry brushed the carved details and contours 🌟

The furniture is such a heavy piece and actually required a lot of repair, I had to carefully take apart the entire base and strengthen the tenon joints. A lengthy process but so rewarding!

Now December is upon us I will start to think about Christmas, I still fill a advent calendar for my son even though he’ll soon be 21 😂 Have you started shopping yet or do you leave it to the last minute like me? I shop better under pressure, well that’s my excuse anyway 😜

Always so exciting to see the furniture in situ 🤩
This drinks cabinet is so perfect in the clients room, don’t you think? 🖤

Reel or stills, do you have a preference?

Thank you for the lovely comments on the little reel I made for these drawers, I confess I’m not the best at reels so thought I’d share some stills of these beautiful drawers 🦚

A client approached me after spotting my Pelican drawers in . They had inherited the furniture and had a sentimental connection as it was in the room when they were born but needed some tlc.

I love working with these traditional tallboys and offered a few suggestions for the artwork but this painting from Melchior d’Hondecoeter worked perfectly as the drawers are going to reside at their cottage in France which is surrounded by sunflowers in the summer 🌻

The image required a little sympathetic editing to print and I’ve paired it with the beautiful Coal Black and Fort York from Fusion Paint. The top edge and legs are finished in gold leaf and distressed to make a subtle statement with the artwork 🌟🖤

As always, I’m here for a chat if you have a piece of furniture you want to transform into something special 🖤

Have a lovely weekend,

Good morning all 👋

I’m loving this simple Mark Catesby illustration my client selected for this neat set of 4 Meredew drawers 🌿 I edited the original image to place it on a black textured background and added some faded repeats. The body of the drawers is finished in sleek Coal Black from Fusion 🖤 A little touch of Guild Lane Gold/Champagne mix for the feet and some smart black handles to complete the look.

This and another set of Meredew drawers are making their way to Pembrokeshire to a lovely returning client that bought a sideboard from me a few years ago. The sideboard also featured a Mark Catesby illustration, the fabulous magnolia image and although they won’t be displayed in the same space it will give a nice continuation from the clients hallway to their landing 🌿🖤

Have a lovely weekend!

Sharing this gorgeous Art Deco tallboy that was delivered to Surrey this weekend. I adore the waterfall top and stepped bracket feet on this piece 😍

The client chose this painting by Willem van Aelst which fits in perfectly with her decor. I have paired the image with my old faithful Fusion’s Coal Black and for the inside the classy Heirloom Blue. A little touch of distressed gold leaf for the top edge, feet and handles and the old girl is looking mighty dapper again! Quite a lot of repairs for this piece but I knew it had bags of potential and I hope you agree that it was worth the effort ❤️

I’m trying to muster enthusiasm to do some sanding, wish me luck in this humidity 🥵

Good morning, it’s a little cooler here in Warwickshire this morning but here’s a ray of sunshine that went off to Hexham yesterday 🌞

I’ve recently completed 3 Ohara gold chests of drawers for clients, all so very different in shape and style and all looking beautiful after the transformations 💛 I manoeuvre the elements of this mural for each order to ensure the best position for the piece and can adjust the background to almost any colour to suit the clients room.

I had a bit of fun with the background for this one, do you like it? I do love a dark background to showcase my work but I’m considering going back to light and bright and would love to know your thoughts 🤔

Have a lovely Sunday 💛

Good morning all 🫶

Sharing this charming set of Meredew drawers which is now available with a coordinating velvet shade for those of us that like a bit of matchy matchy 💚

The mural is my Ohara design in green, and I’ve paired it with the gorgeous and elegant Bayberry from 💚🌿 and finished the look with neat conical handles in black.

There is also a velvet Ohara cushion which I hope to take into the store this week and the beauty of this design is that I can adjust the background colours to suit your decor and it looks great on furniture, velvet and linen 🫶

I will be adding this piece to my website later but if you’d like any details do drop me a DM 💚

Have a great weekend, let’s hope for some sunshine 🌞
