'Dawn Chorus' furniture flip - Video 1

' Dawn Chorus' belongs to the lovely Paula and is a commissioned piece of work.  This is the first video in a series of three, showing the work that took place in stages to give 'Dawn Chorus' a stunning new look.

She is now a one-off, very unique and bespoke piece of furniture, that really makes a statement.

'Olive'

The journey of 'Olive' - Video 1

This is the first video in a series, of the journey of 'Olive'.  Olive began life as a modern piece of furniture from a well know 'Swedish' furniture store.

She was preloved and in very good condition but just needed to look a little more attractive and stylish.

'Lilac'

 

 

Project No-Name became 'Lilac' in August. 

She was given her name by Claire P, a lucky competition winner.

The video below is a summary of her upcycling journey - from the start, when she was destined for

landfill, to the end where she became a bespoke and beautiful finished piece.  I absolutely loved working on her.  She is unusual, and unique, there will never be another like her.  The person that purchases Lilac will be one very lucky person!
