These little pretties are making my brain hurt 😭

I bought them for my own home. Realising they don’t quite fit the aesthetic like I had hoped. Yet everytime I look at them I fall in love with them more and more!

Now I’m debating if I force myself to accept them for my original plan - or I accept the fact that they aren’t quite right and I need to let them go 😫

Days like this are when I realise my furniture obsession isn’t always good for business 🤣 oh well!

The simplicity of the colour - ‘salt of the earth’ 🤍
A beautiful neutral that always pairs so nicely with natural wood tones.
A real mixture of a creamy off white / grey and taupe depending on how the light hits it throughout the day.
Definitely one of my favourites!

Because everyone needs a bookcase in their life right? 📚

This one is still no exception to the usual rustic farmhouse cottage theme I love so much! It’s been given some TLC as it had quite a few water marks and scratches. I didn’t go too crazy with removing everything as I wanted to retain some character and time worn / lived in charm ✨
Some sanding, scrubbing, wire wool treatment and a coat of new wax and she is ready for a new home again 🏡

🔥Important message - please take the time to read. It would be greatly appreciated 🙏 but sorry! It’s a long one!

I’m always trying to think of ways where I can minimise the cost of products for sale in the studio. From when I started this nearly 4 years ago furniture was cheaper to buy, rents and rates were cheaper and overall on-costs hadn’t reached the prices they are today.

Trying to run a small business has never been easy and it seems to only be getting harder, more expensive for both the business and the customers.

That being said I felt the need to give some clarification into a breakdown of costs from source to product to show that sometimes our mark ups - aren’t always as profitable as they appear!.

🔴Let’s say I buy a chest of drawers for £25. And I list it for sale once painted / refinished / restored for £150 - seems like a pretty sweet profit margin right?
Not necessarily.

First we need to deduct the cost of purchase from the sale price -
£150-£25 ‎ = £125.00

Out of that £125 ‘profit’ as registered businesses we owe the government 20%
This takes the £125 down to £100.

Out of that £100 we need to deduct the cost for time and materials spent on the drawers. Let’s say they took 3 hours to paint/restore. Including the materials let’s be ambitious and say total costs for 3 hours time, materials, sundries came to £70.

That leaves us with £30 ‘profit’ out of that £150.

That £30 before it can even go into my own pocket first needs to reimburse the cost of running the business and premises.
Rent, rates, insurance, maintenance fees on the premises. As a general number let’s say these monthly costs equate to £1000 a month - every month!

What this means is that £30 goes towards paying for the space that allows for the furniture to be created, a place to store a larger number of items for more choice and diversity and also a place where you can come and browse and see the products in person without obligation to buy and perhaps get ideas and inspiration!

Therefore I would need to sell a considerable amount of drawers with a £30 ‘profit’ each month before I even begin to see the profit in my own pocket.

Running a small business is hard, it’s not always easy and it certainly isn’t always profitable - but for me personally - furniture is what I love. Having the studio has been my peace and sanity on so many days!.

All of this being said - I do often wonder whether having the studio space is worth it and sustainable in today’s market. My aim was always to provide unusual, bespoke and curated furniture at affordable prices. Yet I find myself some days weighing up whether the costs of having a premises and somewhere for you all to come and browse / buy is worth having over being able to produce furniture for sale at lower prices if I was to work from home and sell only online - all be it a much much smaller scale due to the space limitations.

I think the point of my post is to get the most important opinions on this - the most important being the opinions of you all - the lovely followers who have supported me from day one and even the new followers who have come to join the page more recently.

What’s more preferable to you?
Lower priced furniture available only online…
Or somewhere local to come and view, browse and shop in person?

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post and I’m excited to hear your feedback!

✨ AVAILABLE NOW ✨

A rustic hardwood tv bench that’s been given a touch of colour - this could be used perfectly as a beautiful hall bench perfect for storing your shoes and essentials!

The thought crossed my mind of completley stripping it down and restoring the wood completely- but those that know me know I love things that show age, character and time worn patina. I’m definitely not one for creating ‘brand new off the shelf looking pieces’

Time worn appeal, rustic charm, farmhouse cottage styles will always win over bling and new for me ❤️
