A Hundred Stories

A Hundred Stories Rustic, original vintage furniture and home accessories. Annie Sloan paint stockist. Vintage, antique and just lovely furniture and home accessories.

Mainly French, some English and all unique in their own way. Nearly all of our stock is vintage and therefore shows signs of the wear and tear it's had over the years. All of the little scratches, nicks and wobbly bits just make them even more appealing and unique.

A little update on Jamie’s latest project 👀

The frame is built, the panels are on, and it’s really starting to take shape now. Listen to Jamie talking you through the process so far and showing how an old door is being transformed into a one of a kind kitchen island.

Still plenty to do, but we think it’s looking pretty special already.

The Sunday Summary ✨

Another busy week here at A Hundred Stories, with more gorgeous new stock arriving. From cupboards and tables to decorative pieces and one-off finds, we’ve been adding some wonderful pieces to the website.

Here’s a look at just some of what’s new this week…

Not all heroes wear capes… Part 2.

A couple of days ago, Jamie showed us the old door destined for a new life as a kitchen island.

Now the frame is built, the carcass is taking shape, and he’s busy making the drawers.

From reclaimed materials to a completely bespoke piece, it’s all happening in the workshop.

Watch this space…

From salvaged door to statement piece ✨

Meet the starting point for our newest kitchen island - a stunning reclaimed antique panelled door, full of character, history, and beautifully weathered oak grain that no factory finish could ever replicate.

Jamie’s already got the vision: stripping back those gorgeous original panels and transforming it into a bespoke kitchen island that brings warmth, story and soul into the heart of the home.

Follow along as this piece goes from reclaimed door → showstopping island. Watch this space 👀

There’s always a reason a piece comes home with us.

Sometimes it’s the layers of old paint.
Sometimes it’s the wear on the handles.
Sometimes it’s just the feeling a piece gives you when you walk past it.

We’re never looking for perfection - it’s the texture, age and character that tell the story.

Which detail do you always notice first?

A little bit of fun with AI today…

We took this beautiful reclaimed prep table / console and used AI to reimagine it in a few different settings.

Kitchen island, console table, prep station, hallway piece… this one really can do it all.

Which room setting is your favourite?

This week’s Sunday Summary is packed again… and somehow we still haven’t managed to photograph everything yet.

More new stock has landed this week including beautiful cupboards, prep tables, mirrors, decorative pieces and some incredible reclaimed furniture fresh from the workshop.

Here’s just a small snapshot of what’s arrived lately…

Back in the workshop this week and Jamie is building an absolute beauty from reclaimed timber.

A piece that could work as a console, sideboard or even a kitchen island depending on the space. We love showing these pieces mid-make before all the finishing touches go on.

Watch this space for the finished result… 👀

A superb rustic workbench kitchen island with so much character.

We love the original industrial vice, the chunky worn timber top and the huge lower shelf storage. Mounted on castors and ready to make a statement in the right kitchen.

One of those pieces that instantly gives a space warmth and texture.
