The secretary writing desk
New style and second life for this cutie that was supposed to be thrown away and totally transformed by me.

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 tiled footstool
This one has a story. It comes from a man who was emptying his beloved dad old flat, and was trying to give away as much as he could instead of putting them to trash. The flat was full of old memories. I choose this cute little footstool thinking that I’ll do something nice with it. It was very dusty at that time (and not grey, grey colour was a test). It was covered with an old very dusty fabric and was originally simply in wood. I took it to my art studio and forgot about it for years until very recently when I finished to cover my own pallet…

The bedside cabinet
This cutie was originally destined to be thrown away. When I found it, I immediately had a vision of its new style. I love nature, I love wood colour, I love making something unique… Here is its new look: The top has been sanded and wood stained. The whole table is painted with the beautiful Aquamarine colour from Little Green. The two drawers (and inside drawers) are covered with this colourful tropical leaves wallpaper. The inside paper has few layers of varnish for extra protection. Each drawer has a new colorful knob (probably found in a charity shop). Height: 63.5 cm Width: 44 cm Length: 38.5 cm Drawers: 27.5 cm…

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 blue patterned sideboard
This sideboard was left behind after a moving. All green. Beautiful shape. But green. Green, green, green! I do not like this kind of green, and it was so badly painted. Sooooo I sanded it. I wanted to re-discover the color of wood. It was a long way to finally make all this green paint disappeared. I liked this blue paint that I had found a while ago. Also in a shop I found this beautiful patterned blue and white wallpaper. It was time to use it! I also did not know what to do about the knobs. Keeping them or not keeping them, that was the question. As I…

The mosaic coffee table
From a second hand table to a unique stylish coffee or side table. This table was a rescue. I do not remember from where exactly (donation? Market?). It was like this: a tripod table, made in MDF, painted with some stencil paintings. It took me a while to finish it as I am never too sure about what colour or what material to use… As usual I start, I change, I stop, I change again … I guess it depends of my mood, my desires or even the weather… I created the design on its top using broken tiles. It reminds me of the first table I have upcycled years…

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…
