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 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 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 tiny London flat
A friend of mind bought himself a cute tiny flat years ago, here in South London. He wanted my help to re-decorate the kitchen but most of all and what I really enjoyed doing, was my mosaic touch in there. He really liked my upcycled mosaic tables and wanted something unique for his flat. I will not show you the whole flat but only what I did with the window ledges. There are two windows sharing the same ledge in the leaving room and the bedroom has two windows with two ledges. We picked the colours together and I broke the tiles… This is what I did. Some very unique…

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…

The dressing table
This cutie came from a friend. She could not keep it anymore. The table was all white. Cute though! I decided to give it some changes: I painted it in blue, then in light green, then I distressed it, and I waxed it. I found new knobs for the two drawers and the mirror (to hang up jewellery, necklaces, etc…) and I found some fabric that I thought would be perfect with! I really like these little birds! Et voilà! This is a unique piece of furniture. **No longer available. This cutie has found a new home**
