From two tone to TOTALLY botanical 🌸🌼💐

This gorgeous Lebus chest of drawers was hiding its potential under that dated finish.

A little love, some elbow grease and a botanical twist later...

What do you think of the transformation?

Time to say goodbye to this absolute stunner.

This 1930s vintage chest of drawers has been living in my studio, but she needs to find her forever home.

And let me tell you, this is NOT your IKEA flat pack situation. This is the real deal. Solid wood construction from an era when furniture was built to last generations, not seasons.

I've lovingly restored her in a deep bayberry green from then hand-applied this exquisite fairy botanical decoupage across all five drawers. The artwork features a beautiful woodland fairy adorned with leaves and flowers, creating a romantic, whimsical statement piece.

Original ornate brass hardware and those gorgeous curved gold feet? All intact and authentic.

She's full of character, full of charm, and full of storage. The kind of piece that becomes a conversation starter and an heirloom.

Perfect for a bedroom, dressing room, or any space that deserves something special. Something with a story. Something that wasn't churned out in a factory last week.

If you've been searching for vintage furniture with soul, this is it.

DM for details, dimensions, and delivery options.

She's ready to leave the studio and become part of your home story.

Where it all started… 🌿✨

One of the very first pieces I ever created for a client was for her jungle-themed room at home - and I still remember the excitement of bringing that vision to life. Parrots, toucans, bold colour, leafy drama… the full maximalist moment 🦜🌺

Funny how life comes full circle, because those tropical details have been giving me flashbacks to a recent holiday in Costa Rica — lush greenery, vibrant wildlife, and that feeling of stepping into a completely different world 🌴☀️

And it got me thinking…

Are you a maximalist decor lover (more colour, more pattern, more personality) or a minimal neutral kind of home? 🤍

If you’ve got a “good bones” piece that needs a refresh, DM me a photo + your postcode and we’ll chat about a bespoke transformation 💌

✨ REVIEW LOVE ✨

I’m absolutely over the moon to share this gorgeous feedback from a recent customer who took home this beautifully upcycled Stag Minstrel chest of drawers 🤍

“Absolutely delighted… the finish is stunning, with incredible attention to detail… it looks even better in person and has completely elevated the room… communication was excellent… delivery was smooth, punctual and handled with care… couldn’t be happier… highly recommend!”

Hearing that a piece has not only arrived safely but has truly transformed a room is everything to me. Every commission is lovingly prepped, painted and finished with care - and I’m so grateful for the trust my customers place in The Vintage Peony Store.

If you’ve got a Stag piece (or any furniture with good bones) that you’d love to refresh into something bespoke, I’d love to chat. 💌
📩 Message me with a photo of your piece + your postcode and I’ll send over ideas, a quote and timescale.

Bespoke Lampshade Commissions – Made Just for Your Home ✨

Did you know I make handmade lampshades on a commission basis? That means any shape, any size, created to perfectly suit your space - whether you’re styling a cosy bedside table, a statement living room corner, or a beautiful hallway console.

From drum shades to empire, pleated to gathered, scalloped to statement, I can tailor every detail to you — fabric, trim, lining, fringe, braid and finishing touches that make it feel truly special.

How it works:
Message me with your ideas (or send a photo of your room!)

Tell me your shade size/shape (or your lamp base measurements)

Share your fabric preferences + any detailing you love (fringe, piping, braid etc.)

I’ll help you refine the design and create a bespoke shade made to your requirements.

If you’ve got a fabric you adore, I can often work with it — or I can help you choose something perfect.

💌 To enquire: send me a message with:
✅ a photo of your lamp/base (and your room if you like)
✅ the look you’re after (classic, modern, vintage, bold, neutral)
✅ any fabric ideas/colour palette

…and we’ll bring your vision to life ✨

S O L D 💙

This Morris & Co hand-sewn lampshade has found a new home — and I’m honestly so thrilled! The prettiest leafy print, finished with that swooshy fringe… a proper statement piece 😍

A huge thank you to the lovely local shopper who snapped this up at The Craft Shelf in St Neots.

It means the world seeing our community choosing to support independent businesses and handmade interiors 🌿

If you missed this one, don’t worry — I’m always sewing up new shades and I can also make to order in your chosen fabric, size and trim.

Pop into The Craft Shelf to see what’s currently in store, or DM me to commission your own bespoke lampshade (I’ll help you choose the perfect fabric + fringe!).

Batch sewing mode: ON 🧵

I’ve got the machine humming today as I batch sew a fresh run of goodies ready for website restocks, my Etsy shop, and those gorgeous spring market stalls 🌸

This season I’m mixing fresh brights with my forever favourites - soft neutrals and classic textures - because spring is all about that happy in-between… a little pop of colour, a little calm, and lots of lovely handmade details.

Hurrah! 🌿
Anyone else spotted the first green shoots appearing yet? It always feels like the world is quietly waking up again.

If you’re after a thoughtful, practical gift (or a little treat for you), keep your eyes peeled — new pieces landing soon.

I am having a ponder about hair tool bags, makeup bags & book / e reader bags - I'd love to know what you think?

Drop a 🌱 in the comments if you’re feeling spring, and DM me to reserve your favourite colours or join the next restock. New collection launching soon!
