Before this episode of BBC1’s Money for Nothing disappears from BBC iPlayer, I thought I would share the sewing box’s ’Before and After’ pics again! 🧵🪡

If you have a vintage sewing box that you would love to have transformed with colour and creativity too, let me know as I love them!

This will make my clients smile as the room setting isn’t their actual home! But seeing as I’m now into Day 4 of having flu (Sympathy please 🎻) I thought I’d revisit some of my past commissions for those who have just joined me here!

If you would like to know more about furniture commissions, please feel free to DM me with a few photos of your furniture.

You can also see a selection of my portfolio on my website too www.sarahhaughdesigns.co.uk

Who would have thought that I could go from simple upcycling in my kitchen to being an expert for BBC1?! Not me that's for sure! 😅

How exciting that my furniture has been featured in the Homes & Interiors section of Trend Magazine!

My poor husband sees me everywhere these days! 😂

…..to take a break!

I’ll be taking a short break over next week to rest and recharge.

It’s been an incredibly busy and rewarding time lately and I'm so grateful. However, after more than a year without a proper break, I feel the need to take time to reset. So, I'll be back on Monday 11th May and will answer emails and enquires then 🙂

Thank you!

Did you watch BBC1’s Shift the Thrift today?

You’ll have seen a bit of my upcycling process for this one if you did! I didn’t have a great deal of time to work on this piece, but it just goes to show what you can do in a short space of time!

I don't usually use stencils as I prefer to paint designs by hand but time was definitely against me!

Plain furniture be gone! 🪄✨

What a fabulous reaction to a piece of furniture that I upcycled for BBC1's Shift the Thrift!

Completed in only a few hours, it went on its way afterwards for my lovely contestant to sell in the live online auction!

I don't usually use stencils and prefer to paint everything by hand but time was not on my side! It unsettled me that I couldn't spend more time on it but it made me smile to watch this! 😊

My business started in 2018 but what a ride the last nine months have been!

When I think that life is quieting down a bit, yet another opportunity comes my way and I haven’t even shared what’s coming next. One of my products (Beeswax furniture polish) is also now being ordered on a wholesale basis too!

I feel so incredibly grateful for everything today!

Thank you so much for being on my journey with me! 🩷

There’s something really special about giving a piece a second life!

This cabinet (See the before pic!) was given to me to upcycle by one of the contestants on BBC1’s Shift The Thrift, who spotted it tucked away in the clearance section of a charity shop for just £15.

Beneath its worn exterior was a story waiting to be told. It was handmade back in 1970 by someone named Alexander, whose signature and date I found on the bottom.

Keeping its strong, boxy form in mind, I designed a bold geometric pattern across the front to bring it back to life in a contemporary way.

I can’t help but wonder what Alexander would think of its transformation… I hope he approves!

I was on the very first episode today as a professional upcycler for the brand new series of BBC1’s Shift The Thrift, hosted by the fabulous Joanna Page! 🥳

I transformed this piece in one day as it needed to go to a live auction for the contestant to sell!

One thing I’d love to know, is who was Alexander and why did he make the cabinet in 1970? Did he go to discos or was he quietly making furniture? 🪑🪩 🕺

You can catch up with this episode on BBC iPlayer 📺
