This might help explain why I am always covered in paint 🤣

How do you explain what you do when asked?

What actually is Furniture Art?

This is where people start looking slightly confused… like I’ve just told them my job is part-time wizard.

(Although I am not denying wizardry on the side)

“You paint furniture?”“Yes.”“So… you restore antiques?”“No.”“So you make them look new again?”“Also no.”

You see, we are not really upcyclers in the traditional sense. Although we do more than our part to save things from landfill. We are not trying to return furniture back to its original factory finish like some sort of flat-pack resurrection team.

We are furniture artists.

Which basically means we look at a cupboard and think:“You know what this needs? Drama.”

Most people can appreciate a beautiful painting hanging on a wall. A piece that catches your eye, makes you feel something, starts conversations.

Now imagine that painting could also hold your socks.

That’s furniture art.

It’s practical art for the home. Art you can use. Sit on. Store your nonsense in. Spill tea on, love....enjoy and talk about.

A factory finish says:“I was assembled in aisle 7.” and put down that paint sprayer...

Furniture art says:“I have STORIES.”

And honestly… we need to stop apologising for this job like we invented it during a fever dream after sniffing too much furniture wax.

People have painted furniture decoratively for centuries. We’ve just added a bit more , personality, colour and questionable levels of decoupage ownership.

So no… we don't “just paint old furniture.”

WE.... turn cabinets into canvases.

My New Website! Welcome to my new website! Many thanks to Nick Texidor for all his behind the scenes work. I am still working on adding content so check in regularly to see what’s new and what’s for sale. It has been eye opening to review all my work over the years and add the photos on for you ...

HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY IDENTIFY A FURNITURE ARTIST.
Although honestly… it’s not difficult.

1.We are a happy bunch.

2. Paint on their hands and completely unbothered by it.

3. A brush soaking in water since 2024.

4. Several pieces “waiting to be finished.”

5. Saying “trust the process” while internally panicking.

6. A cupboard full of stencils they “definitely needed.”

7. A deep love of old things… and I don’t mean Marty.

8. An inability to throw anything away “just in case.”

9. The only person at the party desperate to discuss paint colours.

10. They have openly admitted to dipping their paintbrush in their tea and still drinking it. Worse still… I once drank the paint water. I was extra thirsty.

11. Running to the loo because they needed a p*e three hours ago, but were too hyper-focused and in their happy place to notice.

12. Not particularly wealthy… but ridiculously happy.

13. Photographing random textures, doors, tiles, and p*eling walls “for inspiration”… which will absolutely never be used later.

14. Buying the same supplies twice because they forgot they already bought them.

15. Family and loved ones quietly fearing for their creative relative’s faculties.

16. Everything they own has paint on it. Even the “good clothes.”Who here has turned up to a special occasion wearing accidental Eau de Capri pink Chalk Paint?

Do you recognise yourself… or a creative friend? Which numbers?

What would you add to the list?
