Firstly, I would like to thank you so much for visiting my website. As a small business owner this really means a lot to me. Please feel free to browse around, but if you need to ask a question please don't hesitate to reach out to me: I am always happy to help you. I am a down-to-earth, slightly crazy, obsessed but professional furniture painter who just loves to restyle and upcycle vintage furniture.
I create beautiful and bespoke pieces for today's homes. Each piece is given a new look, with its own individual personality, in preparation to start a new life in a new home and to be loved again. Shop for restyled furniture. I offer a restyling service for your furniture too. I can offer guidance on colours and decorative finishes, and recommend the best and most suitable products for the piece and for its purpose.
I will work with you every step of the way, helping you to visualise your furniture's journey of transformation, to suit your taste, style and dcor. A piece of furniture in your home is an extension of your personality, the same as the clothes you wear or the style of your hair.

I just want to let you know a little bit little about me, what I do and why it is so important to me.
I'm a Derbyshire girl, who spent many years working in the finance industry, both locally in Derby and Nottingham, but I also spent almost 20 years living and working in London before returning to my home turf.
My little business is all about saving good quality and serviceable furniture from being destroyed and taken to landfill.
It's an alarming fact that in Great Britain alone over 300,000 tons (22 million items) of reusable furniture are thrown away every single year!

Why do I use Annabell Duke Modern Finish mineral paint - the leading UK-made Mineral Paint?
Because I get a perfect finish every time.
With correct preparation Annabell Duke Mineral Paint can be applied to most surfaces without the need for separate primer.
It can be used on wood, plastics, UPVC, plaster, concrete, glass, tiles, most metals and many other surfaces.
It has amazing coverage: 15m/litre.
This means you can comfortably paint a large piece of furniture, such as a wardrobe or a dresser, with just one 500ml pot.

Fleur paint is made in Italy.
It is produced by a family-owned business established over 80 years ago and run today by the third generation.
A company that is championed for its Ethics, Values and Quality.
Fleur paint is made using ancient and traditional recipes, based on a high content of the purest, finest and natural pigments that refract and diffuse the light, giving the colours exceptional vibrancy and depth.
When the light hits the pigments, the entire surface is illuminated and it's this element that gives Fleur paint such a unique finish.

We are very proud to be among the first official UK stockists of Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint.
With its excellent coverage, extensive range of colours, and simplicity of use, Dixie Belle paint is hugely successful in the USA but has been largely unavailable elsewhere in the world until now, so this is a very exciting new arrival.
The best of both worlds!
Chalk paints blend beautifully, but they need to be sealed.
Mineral Paints give a sleek, smooth look, but the surface to be painted needs to be sanded to enable the paint to stick, and they are more difficult to blend.

A little bit about the amazing Cling On! Brushes and why we furniture painters are so excited about them.
A unique paint brush designed and created by a man who painted for a living and who knew exactly how a paintbrush should look, feel, perform and last.
Cling On! brushes are the innovative design by Frank Michielsen.
In 2007, having over 30 years of experience and expertise in the painting industry and not being satisfied with the brushes on the market, Frank decided to create his own paintbrush.
