My 2024 round up, furniture/workshops/life stuff. Thank you to everyone who has given me the opportunity to work on your furniture, everyone who has come to my workshops (more planned for 2025!) and everyone who has been supportive, with likes & encouraging comments. Sometimes it's hard to keep everything going, find the energy, and have new ideas. I would like 2025 to be a year of focus, new creativity, reaching out of comfort zones, and having fun.
It's been a lovely year personally, getting married to my best pal (walking down the aisle to this song 🧡) making memories with my family, and appreciating the peaceful pace of everyday life.
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year with health, happiness and a fun times ❤️

Here's a lovely commission I recently finished for my customer in Edinburgh. They bagged a lovely vintage nest of tables from and wanted a fresh, modern design that incorporated colours used elsewhere in their house.
Scroll to see the design and before pic. Such a satisfying project using some of my favourite taping techniques!

Every home could do with a joyful pop of colour! These vintage side tables have been hand painted with a unique, colourful design, giving them a vibrant new look.
I've painted many of these over the years (and also run workshops if you'd like to have a go yourself - see previous post!) but I think this is my favourite set to date.
Each table measures 38cm diameter, 49cm high. They are £110 each with FREE UK POSTAGE.
DM to order!
Have a lovely weekend, everyone 💙
