Soft sage green, timeless details, and plenty of vintage charm 💚

This beautiful vintage chest of drawers has been lovingly transformed using Highlands Silk Mineral Paint by Dixie Belle Paint Company, creating a smooth, durable finish in the most gorgeous muted sage tone.

To enhance its elegant character, I added decorative WoodUbend mouldings WUB381 and WUB1309, bringing extra texture and period-inspired detail to this one-of-a-kind piece.

The finishing touch? The drawers have been lined with stunning eucalyptus wallpaper, adding a beautiful botanical surprise every time they're opened.

Not only does this piece provide practical storage, but it also brings warmth, character and sustainability into the home by giving quality vintage furniture a new lease of life.

Which is your favourite detail – the soft sage finish, the decorative mouldings, or the eucalyptus-lined drawers? 🌿

A little close-up of pure Foliage Finesse magic ✨🌿

I’ve been working with the most beautiful gold transfer from Redesign with Prima and I’m completely in love with how it’s transforming furniture pieces. The delicate botanical detailing catches the light so beautifully, adding just the right amount of elegance without overpowering the design.
It’s one of those finishing touches that instantly elevates a piece, especially on soft painted furniture like this dusky pink pair I’ve been upcycling. Subtle, refined and timeless.

Perfect for bringing a hint of luxury to vintage furniture while still keeping that soft, hand-finished feel I always aim for.

Would you go for gold detailing on furniture, or keep it completely understated? ✨

Dark, dramatic, and completely one of a kind ✨

This vintage cabinet has been transformed in the richest deep navy blue (Deep Sea Silk Mineral Paint from Dixie Belle), finished with striking ornate metallic detailing for a truly luxurious feel. Inspired by moody boutique interiors with a touch of gothic romance, this piece was designed to make a statement.
I styled it with candlelight, dark florals, warm bronze tones, and hints of soft pink for that perfect balance of elegance and drama 💙🖤💙

What room in your home would you style this in? ✨

Soft blush pink on the outside, rich forest green hidden within ✨

This beautiful vintage gentleman’s wardrobe has been lovingly refinished to create a truly one-of-a-kind statement piece. The delicate pink exterior paired with the dramatic dark interior gives it such a romantic English cottage feel.

Painted using Dixie Belle Paint products in Conch and Acadia, with the stunning Art Deco Bird Pattern Belles & Whistles Decoupage adding the most beautiful hidden detail inside the doors 💚

Perfect for a hallway, landing, nursery or cosy bedroom, with hanging space and shelving inside for practical everyday storage.
The patterned interior door panels might just be my favourite feature.
