A new year – time to restart
I've been doing a lot and a lot of thinking recently. It's been 2 years now that life put me on pause. On pause and it was so hard to think clearly. The motivation left..

The mosaic bedside table
This one I do not remember how did it look like when I took into my studio, but here is the transformation: the top is covered with these gorgeous broken white/light recycled tiles. The main colour of this cutie is the beautiful Lauren colour from Colours. I like hidden designs and I decided to add this colorful palm tree sheet of paper on the inside. It has of course layers of varnish for extra protection. Also the drawer has a new colorful knob (from my collection of knobs). Height: 53 cm Width: 36.5 cm Length: 48 cm Remember that this its second life and so it is not brand new.…

The cane webbing cabinet
New style for this ex brown old piece of furniture that was given to me. Here is an advice about it: when you collect a furniture like this one, please do not transport it on top of the luggage rack of your bike.

It used to have long legs that I immediately cut. I replaced them with these perfect little wooden ones. It gives it more lightness. I also cut out the door to have that…

The other distressed cabinet
New life for this wooden cabinet. I thinks this one had many lives before it arrived at my studio. The ex owner told me that it travelled from France like 10ish years ago… and guess what, I love that! A furniture with stories to tell! So when I got it it was all painted in white. Here is a picture of how it was after I started sanding the top. This unit has one wooden shelf on the inside and two large drawers. Dimensions: Length: 87 cm Width: 49 cm Height: 91.5 cm I had a great blue colour from Farrow & Ball at the studio and most of all…

The little nursery wardrobe
I like to use old furniture to create something special as it becomes a unique piece. Here is a unique little wardrobe that I have upcycled a while ago. Here is how I one day found it. I loved its doors and its shape straight away! After thinking about what to do about it, I decided to give it a big change: I wanted it to become a little wardrobe (why not?). A cute little nursery wardrobe for a little one or simply a little linen wardrobe. No more dark colours, I wanted it looking light and sweet! I love to use wallpaper on a furniture, and I love nature…
