SO. NOT. BEIGE.
This cushy, colourful chair came to us in stark naked beige. We blasted it with textile spray to give it more joie de vivre.
We repurposed pallets to create a backdrop and hide a printer nook. The surrounding furniture started out in an array of finished and unfinished woods. We utilised spray paints & chalk paints to achieve a fairytale mermaid vibe in our former shop.
Vintage, antique & completely unique
To achieve whatever look we’re going for, our creative arsenal always has supplies on hand from these fave trusty suppliers…
DEcorate your life…
’I think everything in life is art. What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea. How you decorate your home. Or party. Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel. Life is art.’
-Helena Bonham Carter
fairytale powered whisky
This ornate antique apothecary cabinet has been given a metallic golden backdrop, and a splash of colour. It displays whisky, tumblers & nosing glasses, curios, art, and a wee collection of vintage hardback books & fairy tales.
CAPTURED AT OUR BEST
Repurposing whisky barrels & painting furniture.
TRUST THE PROCESS
It’s better to wear gloves, but painted hands happen every so often.
TWo JOBS
This vintage gramophone cabinet now living its best life as a butterfly bedazzled ship stand.
As it’s near our wood burning stove, it’s perfect for an uber-important secondary job… hiding back-up kindling & wood-wool fire lighters to help us keep that fire burning through the colder months.
upcycled CAST IRON TUB & RAISED BED DRAWERS
This Victorian tub has been re-upcycled yet again for a new life housing flowers and foliage.
There was also a vanity which unfortunately didn’t survive the move home from shop. We salvaged the drawers, drilled drainage holes, slapped them with yacht varnish, and now we’ve got two little raised bed planters.
