Projects with J

Hey! Projects with J is an independent business, transforming unique and beautiful pieces of furniture! Please follow me on www.instagram.com/projectwithj 🥰

Thank you for visiting my Projects with J page ✨

I source pieces from something that otherwise would have remained unwanted into something valuable again. You can find a piece from my page which I have already designed, or you can have one of your own pieces of furniture custom designed. You can provide me with a design/idea/theme, I can set a price for you and you can either bring the furniture

to me, or I can collect and deliver it dependant on size and location. If you have a treasured piece which you love, or may mean something special to you but is in need of some restoration, I would love to bring it back to life for you! 😃

Why up-cycle or buy older, second hand or vintage pieces?

👉🏽 Less waste - up-cycling and starting with something that already exists as your base material is better for the environment!
👉🏽 We live in a throw away generation whereby people are so quick to just chuck away unwanted items; giving something a makeover can save you money!
👉🏽 Why buy new when you can create something completely bespoke for your home? Nobody else will have the same & you can let your imagination run wild.
👉🏽 Older pieces of furniture are generally better quality than more modern pieces. Delivery 🚙 - If you are based further away in the UK, I can still arrange a delivery price for you if you are interested in an item.

👋🏽 H E L L O 🎉

After taking a break for a year, I am back and I will be doing the odd revamp where I can 🥳🥳

Here is my first upcycle of my little shed 😅✨

I begrudged buying a new one so I found a free one and gave it some TLC .. and now it’s pretty and perfect 💁🏼‍♀️ ♻️

I don’t have as much time as previously to be painting as much as I would like to be - but I will be getting piece’s done where I can 🥰

I am also open for commissions if you are interested please send me a DM 💌

🤍 WHITE WEDNESDAYS 🤍
Another throwback today to last year, I updated these gorgeous chest of drawers and bedside tables 😍🙌🏽
SWIPE to see the transformation
The tops were stained and marked and the before colour was beige and they both needed a freshen up, the tops were sanded and revarnished, they were all refinished in a lovely white paint to match a newly styled bedroom with some new shiny handles too ✨😀

♻️🤩💚 GWEN THE GREEN DRESSER 💚🤩♻️

This stunning 1960’s dressing table has been recently restored and beautifully redesigned and is available now! 🥰

Painted in the amazing Fusion mineral paint, shade Bayberry Green. Fusion is one of the best paints on the market, all of the ingredients are very environmentally friendly, there are no chemicals involved and it gives a long lasting and durable finish! The dovetail joints really show the age and craftsmanship of this piece!

The original drawer pulls have been kept on this piece, mainly as they are actually built into the wood which made it very difficult to remove them without damaging the surface of the front of the drawers. They have also been brightened with Fusion mineral paint, shade Metallic Vintage Gold.

Dimensions:

Height - without mirror 76cm & with mirror 142cm

Width - 114cm

Depth - 45 cm

There is minor marks on this dresser, which are consistent with its age, but it is still in very good condition ☺️

Please get in touch if you would like any more photos or videos 📸

DELIVERY: collection from Darlington or I can deliver this item free of charge.

This piece is on display in Strickies Creative Hub, upstairs in Strickland & Holt, Yarm High Street, so please come and have a look!

💚🌟 OH HELLO! 🌟💚
SWIPE for the transformation 👉🏽
This piece of furniture belongs to a church, the church had asked me to spruce this one up for them and showed me a design similar to this one, and then left it all in my hands to do what I felt like would have worked the best!! 🥰
I love showing the transformation of this one in particular, as it’s the first time that I have EVER done my own hand drawn design .. if you look through you can see me drawing it on 🥰
If you would like something similar designing please DM me 💌
