Part 1
It's been a while, and we have a few new faces on the feed, so I thought it was past time I introduced myself.
I'm Jasmine, owner of jdrestored, and you might have seen some of my furniture pieces pop up on your feed.
Growing up, I used to help my mum with many a project, from decorating to small DIY jobs. I was raised knowing that it was always better to restore and reuse products, both for the wallet and, more importantly, for the environment.
I have always had a love and want to create beautiful spaces. So when it came to moving out and getting my first, very own, home, having little to no budget (and learning how to be adult after graduating university), I started my restoration journey by necessity, upcycling a wardrobe and coffee table for my own new space.
You will never see some of my early pieces, (this is before I learnt the essential nature of properly preparing every piece 🤣) but through trail and error, I started to create some beautiful yet practical pieces. Always being proud that with every finished piece meant fewer items going into landfill.
