A Little of This and a Bit of That

Sometimes you just have to go all out. So when my client arrived with this piece she really wasn’t sure what she would like done. So we came up with the plan that she would pick 7 napkins out of my vast collection. They had to be ones she really did like and not because…

The Classic Upcycle

When you have found the perfect table and chairs for the dining room, but there is just one problem. You hate the colour. This is a perfect example of how upcycling and recycling works so well. It would be heart breaking to see such fabulous well made furniture go to waste.  After

Subtlety not a Strong Point

You may think I don’t really do subtle but I promise I can lol. As much as I love colour, designs and ideas a little out there I have as much love for the classic and beautiful style too. This piece is the definition of classy, subtle and beautiful and I love it as i…

Fit for a President

It is most likely a little obvious already that this piece was totally inspired by a recent trip I took to Áras an Uachtaráin. The beautiful interiors with the use of colours and beautiful golds all mixed together really got me inspired. And when this piece came into my possession i knew straight away it…

There is no better compliment of your work than repeat customers. And also there is nothing more satisfying than getting rid of pine. So as you can imagine this project was extremely rewarding for me. This piece was to match a table and chairs I revamped a little while ago and while my client wanted to…

Working 9 – 5

When you think of office furniture, painted or decoupaged pieces do not normally come to mind. So when Laurie asked me to source and design some pieces for the office in her new solicitors practice I was more than happy to help. While deciding on a design i kept in mind the mantra of professional,…

Fabulous Friday. More Drink !!!!

I wish i had an endless supply of these drinks cabinets. This commission was rescued from the garage as was the one i revamped a few weeks ago. I wonder how many more are stored away? They are so much fun to revamp. Even more fun to use of course. 

The After After Photo

It’s not until you see a finished piece in its home that you realise the difference it makes to a room. The before and after photos always show the change, but when you see it in its home space then you realise just how big of a change it is. This is a project I…

It Started With A Colour

When I got this piece I just couldn’t get the colour red out of my head. I just knew this was the colour it had to be, so i went ahead and started painting and just kept going with no other plan. From there ill be honest i pretty much winged it.  So I painted…

Lemon and Lime

This old drinks cabinet has been given a whole new lease of life. Unintentionally I chose lemon and lime colours but I think they ended up pretty perfect for this project.  Before
