Most of the furniture I find starts with a Marketplace listing.
A piece someone no longer wants. Something taking up space in the garage. Sometimes something that’s only one step away from being left on the roadside.
But I see what it could become.
A solid timber frame. A sideboard with great bones. A cabinet with beautiful details hidden beneath an outdated finish.
So I choose carefully.
Back in my workshop, the transformation begins. Each piece is thoroughly cleaned and properly prepared using products designed to help the new finish adhere and last. Then comes the creative part — choosing colours, restoring timber where it suits the design, adding decorative details and building up durable protective finishes.
It can take days, sometimes weeks, before I’m happy with every detail.
When it leaves my hands, it isn’t simply refreshed.
**It’s rescued.**
And I love that, because I believe our homes should be filled with pieces that have a story. Pieces with character. Colour chosen because it creates a feeling, rather than simply following a trend.
If you have a piece sitting in your garage or spare room collecting dust — or something you’ve been thinking about getting rid of — I’d love to help you see what it could become. ✨
